Message from the Owner
Since I first entered the world of Eorzea and was able to see all the beautiful places other people have created, I have dreamed of buying and having lots of fun at a place of my very own.After a lot of time spent trying to get a home, and then the process of upgrading, I am now very fortunate to be able to host my very own venue due to all the help from my dear friends and their endless support.Credits for the incredible new design go to the wonderful Mog Lin, who spent hours upon hours perfecting it.
Creating such a design that, in a way, truly speaks to the spirit of the place and atmosphere that I have always hoped to share with others.
It's given the Bloom fresh life, and sparked excitement for what may be waiting in the future!There is particular credit due to S'ugafri Redbhul, for some of the wonderful ideas they have supplied and help with writing/design for this site.
They have also offered additional help with running and operating the cafe itself, which I would be lost without.
I would also like to pay credit to all the other friends who may have supplied ideas or supported me in various ways.
Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.Without these wonderful friends,
I would not have what I do today and would likely never have been able to share this place I dreamed of with the world.I have truly been blessed with the blooming of luck and good fortune in my life, and I sincerely hope all of our guests will be, as well.
Sincerely,
Ooki Himaa

Snacks
Lominsan Herring Pie
A classic Lominsan snack.
A crisp and flakey pie, it is filled with small pieces of freshly caught herring, right off the docks of Limsa Lominsa.
Salmon Muffins
Using our savoury pan-fried Ishgardian muffins,
we pile these snacks high with sliced alligator pear, spinach leaves, and our delicious smoked salmon.
Last but not least, each one is topped off with a freshly cooked egg.
A delicious, healthy treat to give you energy for the whole day.
Squared Finger Sandwiches
Miniature sandwiches, with no crust in sight.
A variety of fillings are used for these sandwiches, but most traditionally they include a meat, cheese, and lettuce.
These sandwiches are then assembled, and carefully chopped into small, bite sized squares.
Beverages
Teas and Juices
We carry a large variety of different teas and juices.
Ask a cafe worker about your favourite variety, we may very well have it on hand!
Hot Choco-latte
It's not a typo, we promise.
We offer a delicious mixture of classic hot chocolate and freshly prepared coffee.
Topped with a generous amount of whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.
Regular hot chocolate options are also available.
Ulras' Minty Julep
A refreshingly cool drink created by Ulras, for the hot summer weather!Made with sparkling cider, notes of citrus, and (you guessed it) a fresh sprig of mint on top for that signature minty flavour.With a cherry atop to seal the deal, no one can resist this wonderful drink.
Mono's Matcha
Green tea leaves grown and harvested from the mountain fields of Hinganshi.Made by our wonderful Mono'sono Glu'tame, an experienced Hinganshi tea brewer, you can experience the refreshing and natural flavour of their specialty green tea.You can also order tea leaves to brew this drink at home!
S'uga's High Tide Chai
A specialty S'uga learned from a curious Sahuagin running a diner out of Aleport.
This chai tea latte requires a mixing as turbulent as the high tides of the Rhotano Gulf.
A harmony of earth and sea, the secret is a touch of salt water to balance out the spices and cream.
Sweets
Luna's Rolanberry Shortcake
Freshly prepared every day, every bite is soft and delicious.
Light and refreshingly sweet, although not nearly as sweet as Luna Mhikuri is.
Mystical Mint
Parfait
A minty and creamy parfait, prepared with fresh chocolate pudding, whipped cream that has been flavoured with fresh mint, and grounds of chocolate all across the top.
A cool dessert, for cool people!
S'ugary Apple Strudel
A delicious baked strudel, filled with freshly sliced apple pieces and a sweet caramel sauce.
This dessert is rather sweet, which is surprising considering it's named after someone who is, quite literally, S'ugafri.
Perfect Pineapple Ponzecake
A wonderfully fruity-sweet treat!
A delicate mound of spongey soft cake, topped with a caramelised circlet of pineapple, then adorned with a puff of whipped cream and a small cherry.
Sweet Caramels
A customer favourite, these sticky sweet caramels are now a permanent menu fixture.
Somewhat chewy but still wonderfully melting in your mouth, they are a perfect sweet treat to nibble on.
Meet the Staff
All of our staff members put in a lot of effort to keep the cafe running, and assist in various ways.
This is the perfect place to learn about your favourite staff member, and what they do to help out!

The event changed her irrevocably, destroying her prideful demeanour as well as her ability to control aether.On the worst day of her life, a traveling merchant on the outskirts of the Steppe offered her a sweet treat. In the spur of the moment, she left with them, seeking to recreate the sweet for herself as well as escape from the not-so distant past.Inevitably, her journeys took her to Limsa's esteemed Culinarian Guild, where she quickly became quite the chef. She dreamed of opening an establishment of her very own and sharing the treat that led her there with the world. Her efforts led her to meet the very first staff members of the Bloom, including her dearest friend, S'ugafri Redbhul.One fateful night and with a quickly thrown-together menu, they opened the Bloom on a whim. The rest is history.
