Bloom

About Bloom

Bloom brings a polished café vibe to Forest Gate, with a homely interior and friendly staff who keep local families coming back. The kids' menu includes chicken strips that one parent reckoned "tasted better than KFC," and little ones eat alongside grownups ordering the signature royal Victoria pie — chicken and mushroom with gravy and sweet potato fries that reviewers call "cooked to perfection." Highchairs are available, and the space handles buggies easily. "The food here is great, we ordered the lasagna, bangers and mash, the victoria pie," one regular notes, praising generous gravy and proper portions. Bloom shares space with Coffee and Cream next door, so families can roll dessert, Ferrero Rocher cookie dough is a favourite, straight to the table. Coffee's made well (barista Nahid gets name-checked in reviews), and reviewers note service remains warm even when groups of twelve arrive. Best for weekend brunch when the full English and shakshuka pull the neighbourhood in.
