About Bloomwood

Exhibition Street regulars head straight to Bloomwood when standard morning pastries won't cut it. The lantern-lit counter pairs French viennoiserie with unexpected flavors—folding charred corn and cheese into layered danishes, or balancing banana and sweet miso caramel over flaky butter crusts. City commuters tap the downstairs ordering screen to bypass the pastry line for fast takeaway. Pick up a citrus cold brew topped with yuzu cream, dip a mini croissant stick into your drink, and carry it up to the quiet loft seating above the street.

  • Asian-Inspired Viennoiserie: French laminated pastry techniques underpin distinct sweet and savory profiles like charred corn and cheese, taro coconut, and miso banoffee.
  • Specialty Citrus Cold Brew: House-crafted cold brew finished with smooth yuzu cream, alongside nutty black sesame and matcha lattes.
  • Express Commuter Ordering: Dedicated self-service ordering screen near the stairs allows takeaway coffee orders to bypass counter queues during peak commuter hours.
  • Quiet Upstairs Seating: A calm, minimalist second-floor space offering quiet tables away from the ground-floor counter rush.

Why Bloomwood Stands Out in Melbourne CBD

Inventive pastry craftsmanship, dedicated express ordering, and a serene CBD loft setting—secure your spot and book your next morning indulgence.

  • Inventive Asian-Inspired Viennoiserie

    Bloomwood masterfully infuses classic French lamination with non-traditional Asian profiles, creating technical wonders like taro custard, purple yam, and milk tea Danish pastries.

    The taro Danish I tried had a milk tea flavour, with crispy layers, taro custard, coconut jelly and purple yam cream – both beautiful and delicious.

  • Signature House Cold Brews & Craft Drinks

    Beyond traditional espresso offerings, the cafe crafts distinct specialty beverages, anchored by a fan-favorite citrus cold brew layered with velvety yuzu cream.

    The standout for me is their citrus cold brew with yuzu cream, it genuinely lives rent free in my head.

  • Frictionless Self-Order Kiosks

    Commuters and office workers can bypass long morning lines using dedicated self-ordering digital kiosks tailored for rapid takeout.

    There’s a screen you can use to order without needing to talk to someone directly, so you can place your order quickly and pick it up on the go.

  • Reliable Express Takeaway for CBD Commutes

    Centrally situated on Exhibition Street, the cafe delivers dependable speed and sweet refreshments for daily CBD strolls and work breaks.

    Whenever I walk past I would always get their citrus cream brew, it’s sweet but you can also taste the citrus. I like it as a sweet treat! Service is also quick.

  • Tranquil Upstairs Loft Retreat

    An inviting second-level loft offers a quiet, relaxed sanctuary away from street commotion for morning catch-ups and coffee breaks.

    The upstairs seating is a lovely quiet spot for a relaxed morning catch‑up right in the city.

  • Serene Lantern-Lit Japandi Atmosphere

    Clean Japandi design, open-plan spaces, and signature lantern fixtures foster an airy, soothing cafe environment.

    The space feels bright and welcoming, with the large lantern lights and open layout giving it a calm atmosphere.

Inventive French-Asian viennoiserie and signature beverages crafted for indulgent CBD morning rituals and afternoon treats.

  • Miso Banoffee Danish

    Banoffee Miso Danish, delish banana custard filling with some sort of miso caramel cream on top then sprinkles of cookie crumb and nuts, the pastry tastes rich and buttery

  • Strawberry Matcha

    had the strawberry matcha, which was refreshing, well balanced and really enjoyable, a standout drink that felt both fresh and indulgent.

  • Citrus Cold Brew with Yuzu Cream

    The standout for me is their citrus cold brew with yuzu cream, it genuinely lives rent free in my head. It’s unique, refreshing and something I always come back for.

  • Corn Cheese Danish

    The corn cheese danish was a standout! It was super light, flaky layers, and the filling was creamy without being too rich. The charred corn gave it a nice smoky edge which made it even better.

Other favorites

Inventive specialty drinks, sweet cruffins, and coffee-dipping sides.

  • Banana Biscoff Cruffin

    The Banana Biscoff Cruffin was rich, buttery, and packed with caramelized banana and Biscoff goodness

  • Black Sesame Latte

    Paired with a refreshing Banana Matcha Latte and a nutty Black Sesame Latte, it made the perfect afternoon treat.

    Gena star

  • Mini Croissant Sticks

    I also love the mini croissant sticks for dipping into coffee, they’re not just aesthetic, they’re actually delicious.

  • Vietnamese Salted Coconut Coffee

    Got the Vietnamese salted coconut coffee and it was actually insane! Really well balanced, not overly sweet, and the coconut foam was so good.

  • Dedicated Drinks iPad Bypass

    Rushed morning commuters grabbing beverages can bypass the main bakery queue completely using the dedicated self-serve iPad screen positioned at the base of the stairs.

Before you head over

Essential guidance for navigating morning rushes, digital ordering, and seating on Exhibition Street. Book your visit to lock in a table.

  • Bypass the Counter for Drinks

    If you are only stopping in for beverages, bypass the main pastry queue by ordering directly via the self-service iPad screen located at the base of the stairs.

  • Arrive Early for Peak Freshness

    CBD commuters and office crowds pack the cafe by 9:00 AM, especially around lunchtime. Head in early in the morning to secure a seat and catch the daily viennoiserie selection at peak freshness.

  • Check Loft Accessibility

    While the upstairs loft provides a quiet retreat from city foot traffic, reaching it requires stairs and can be tricky with prams or wheelchairs; ground-level outdoor tables and takeaway offer easier alternatives.
