Review of Bloom

Before going, I emailed Bloom to ask about cross contamination precautions. This is the response I got run the chef:

“I’m the chef at Bloom. We have a lot of gluten free items and some gluten “friendly” items. Our brunch menu has a bunch of options. We have a fryer solely for gluten free food such as breakfast potatoes, fries, and fried green tomatoes. If some gluten gets in the fryer, we drain it, clean it, and refill it with clean oil.

Our dinner menu is even more gluten free. Every entree we offer is gluten free and we only have a few hand held sandwiches that contain gluten, but most things are totally naturally gluten free. With an allergy warning we sanitize our station, change gloves and grab unused pans and utensils.

Furthermore our entire dessert menu is always totally gluten free for both brunch and dinner. Come see us some time! While we cannot completely guarantee a gluten free restaurant, we always take allergens seriously. Our owner has celiac disease and we’ve designed the menus to be as accommodating as possible.

Thank you, Chef Josh”
