Had a thoroughly great lunch here. It is buffet style where they weigh your plate and you pay accordingly but honestly worth every penny. The food is scrumptious! Will be back very soon with my family.

A hundred nooks, each special in their own way. A ray of sun in the garden, out back, a cozy couch by the fireplace. And the food is amazing. Youll feel taken care of from the moment you step through the door.

Harvest table is a winner. Wholesome freshly prepared food. Good veg or vegan options too. Chat to the staff and owners. Theyre legends

Review №17

They have a fantastic harvest table for lunch everyday with so many good veggie and non-veggie options to choose from. Everything is freshly made, healthful and super delicious. We went in just before closing time and the harvest table was almost empty so the owner prepared some freshly picked salads to supplement the harvest table. Sublime food! Excellent service. My favourite place in the midlands to eat.

Loved this place for brunch. We sat outside on the patio under some trees and had a great meal. Eggs are divine, and they served great coffee. With a stop if youre in the Midlands.

Best country breakfast in the area. The ingredients were all fresh and the service awssome. Highly recommend the grilled trout and scrambled eggs on wholewheat with fresh garden herbs. Thank you cafe Bloom.

Review №25

Great food! Best selection that even suits vegetarians. Fresh greens look like they come from the garden at Bloom. Delicious desserts. Chocolate brownie my favourite. Polenta cake great for gluten free fans.

Service was spotty at best. The food was good. Enjoyed what I ordered but very limited menu plus the pay-by-weight buffet. Not bad but not great. Prices are a bit steep as well.

Review №27

Mick provided truly awesome catering for our Michaelhouse Matric Ball Pre photo session get together. Cafe Bloom highly recommended for any private catering function (and the food at the Gowrie restaurant is also unequalled in the Notties area)

Enjoyed a beautiful breakfast among displays of cut flowers, local wares and home-made produce. Wandered upstairs where we observed a lone migrating stork through the attic window. The maitre d and friendly locals made us feel at home. Our only regret was that we couldnt linger longer.

Review №32

Ive always loved Cafe Bloom, but now I find the new setting in Gowrie Village has even more appeal. The smart attractive restaurant provides a delightful village atmosphere in which to enjoy the cuisine for which they have become famous.

Charming and historic building. Lovely cosy restaurant, with a great selection of small meals and healthy, but tasty options. Coffee is good too. Friendly staff. Lovely and characteristic.

Review №38

Odd reception, with the staff seemingly confused at our request for a table. Perhaps were meant to seat ourselves, but it cant be unusual for people to ask for a table. Very slow service despite not being full. I had nearly finished my drink by the time my husbands came. Food was tasty, although my eggs were half raw, including the whites, despite my request for hard, or well done eggs. Even the neighboring table to us didnt seem to get all their drinks. For a beautiful spot in a stunning estate I expected at least an average experience, but was diaappointed.

Kitchen closed early in the day. Maybe the locals are used to cafés not staying open... As a tourist, it was annoying to walk into a cafe after reading the menu outside, only to be told we wouldnt be served...

Review №67

Cafe bloom came highly recommended but it was a disappointing experience. The service was horrible. Our waitress was unfriendly, disinterested and got our order wrong multiple times. One of our orders was totally forgotten. The food took a while to arrive and wasnt anything to write home about. For the exact opposite experience I would recommend Barbz Cafe which is 30 seconds away. At least youre greeted with friendly smiles there and the food is great.

The waitress was friendly and helpful. She went out of her way to to provide good service. The breakfast was delicious and. I really enjoyed the bringal as an alternative to bread. Great for those trying to cut carbs.This restaurant has recently moved and the new spot is spacious with the option of sitting indoors or outside. We enjoyed sitting in the garden area with the family but the indoor tables and comfy chairs looked quite inviting too. This is a cosy place to relax and the coffee was good too.High quality rugs, carpets and throws are available at the shop adjoining the Cafe.It was a convenient place to stop for breakfast after leaving the Kamberg reserve early in the morning. We will definitely do this again..

Best breakfast/lunch experience in Midlands. Organic/fresh food on harvest table with flavours for the foodies and a brilliant rustic ambience under the vine in summer and near the fireplace in winter.
