Wouldn’t it be nice to spend a day in a place that offers food, flowers and some quiet inspiration?
Designer Blooms, a family-owned business known for its sublime floral creations, comes into full bloom as it opens the first Designer Blooms Café. The brainchild of sisters, Marie Garcia and Issa Garcia-Sicam, this concept café marries the beauty of flowers and the warmth of comfort food.
Designer Blooms Café offers a dining experience unlike any other. “Freshly picked. Freshly prepared.
This is what we stand by. We have gone the extra mile to search for the freshest ingredients and we prepare everything à la minute,” says co-owner Garcia. From the modern-industrial interiors to the kitsch furniture pieces, Designer Blooms Café is a comfy and inviting spot for a quick meal, a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine, and a heaven for fresh-cut flowers.
The menu, prepared by US-Trained and CCA Alumni Chef Diana Morales is simple, fresh and dainty.
Warm your soul with the café’s selection of hearty soups, like the sumptuous Cream of Mushroom, the delectably velvety Roasted Tomato soup or refresh your senses with an interesting version of a Roasted Beet Carpaccio Salad served with edible flowers. If you’re craving for something a little more filling, why not indulge in the juicy Jalapeno Burger or a delicious serving of pasta like, the Fresh Ravioli? Conclude a delightful fare with heavenly dessert, like White Chocolate Cheesecake or Banana Cream Pie paired with the café’s freshly brewed selection of organic teas and imported coffee from San Francisco.
Warm, fresh and inspiring, Designer Blooms Café is a dining destination for families, young couples and individuals in search of something more than just a place to eat. This concept café brings the outdoors in with its various floral offerings combined with a charming atmosphere to enjoy a gorgeous meal. Offering a full sensorial experience, Designer Blooms Café is sure to feed your soul.
