The Gluten Free Path

Cafe Bloom

Everyday I’m so happy we live in Bellingham. Life living gluten free, among other things, is so much easier. I don’t want to frustrate people speaking about how awesome my city is, but frankly, for me who has been so tired, and tried so hard to find stuff for Rick and I so we can enjoy some semblance of a normal life, it is great.

And so is Bloom. I’m in love with it. It’s just what I have been looking for. It has the atmosphere of a coffee shop. There’s art all over the wall, a stage for music or whatever and shelves of books. Yeah, it’s great. More importantly the food is good and different. It’s made with all organic ingredients. There are raw and gluten free options for almost everything. It’s a vegan restaurant so no meat or milk products. But the cashew “cheese” tastes good enough for me to not miss real cheese too much on the nachos. I’ve tried the nachos, the chocolate shake, the quinoa burrito, the sunflower nori wrap, and the squash soup. I didn’t get around to anything else because the first time we went the cook had walked out the day before and they didn’t have anymore gluten free pizza crust. The other two times we went I really, really wanted nachos.

Eventually I’ll get back to try some more stuff. It will probably be a while as I am on a budget and there are other places I want to try before the year is up. For now, kudos to the owner of Bloom. He’s done a great job so far!
