Imagine being on vacation at a beautiful resort. You stop in at the resort’s chic cafe on the property for a cozy morning or afternoon pick-me-up. Coffee, cocoa, chai, matcha or an indulgent pastry.

Now imagine that the artisan pastries are so amazing and the homemade matcha is unparalleled and you’re surrounded by stunning art and one-of-a-kind gifts, candles and homewares.

New cafe/bakery opens in Allenhurst

This is the kind of experience that you will have at Bloom Bar Café et Fleurs in Allenhurst.

Part café and part lifestyle boutique, it’s a luxury vacation vibe right here at the Jersey Shore.

According to their website, Bloom Bar is the brainchild of Helene Mishan-Tamir.

Helene developed Bloom Bar during the pandemic as a way to reinvigorate retail in her local community and foster her love of flowers.

She saw a niche in her hometown and set out to reinvent the "flower shop" in a way that would engage clients on a higher level.

Unique experience at cafe

The original Bloom Bar Flower Market in the Oakhurst section of Ocean Township is well-known for its incredible assortment of unique flowers, but Bloom Bar Café et Fleurs is a completely new and unique experience.

It offers an exceptional edition of well-priced gifts and objects d'arte from across the globe.

You can enjoy fresh pastries from local artisanal bakers and the most incredible matcha to
suit your fancy.

And the pastries? I mean, there are hardly words. Master baker Claudia Bildirici's spectacular pastries are like nothing else you’ve ever tasted. This assorted box of one-dozen goodies is baked fresh daily and delivered to your door.

I was lucky enough to taste the following:
