Booked 37 times today

100% Plant-Based restaurant in Wicker Park. We have always had the core belief of being as good to ourselves (and the earth) as possible, but as we grow, we have always wanted to do more. With this desire, we decided to open Bloom Plant Based kitchen. Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy plant-based options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition. Therefore, our intention with Bloom is to focus on bringing flavorful, healthy, and affordable plant-based food to families while also being desirable and appealing to everyone regardless of their diet.

This was our second time returning to Bloom for a birthday celebration. The food was amazing. The flavors are complex and wonderful, and the menu is innovating and creative. The only thing I would say is that the entrée portion was quite small. We were very satisfied for several hours, but then found ourselves hungry a few hours later. The chocolate mousse dessert made with avocado was an excellent way to top off a great dinner. Thanks Bloom! We will be back.

The service was impeccable! Our server Eric G. was so attentive and assisted me greatly as someone who has celiac and cannot eat any gluten. He made sure any glutenous toppings were removed and on the side for the other guests and repeatedly came back to check and make sure I knew what was safe to eat. I cannot thank him enough. The food itself was delicious and the restaurant had a lovely ambience.
