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

Always polite and happy to please.Hailing from the Azim Steppe, a merchant offered her a sweet treat like she had never seen the likes of before.Once she tried the dessert, she left her home and never returned, determined to learn how to craft this sweet for herself.After years of training in Limsa's esteemed Culinarian Guild, she dreamed of opening a cafe and sharing her favourite treat with the world.What dessert is this, you may wonder?
You'll just have to ask and find out!
Co-owner
Adopted by Miqo'te at a young age, her family moved from Ul'dah to New Gridania.After years of adventuring as part of the Conjurer's Guild, she needed a change.
So she grabbed her pan and knife, donned her apron, and set off for Limsa Lominsa.After years of training, and some late nights, S'uga was eager to find a place to share her new skills.Now, you can find S'uga behind the Bloom's counter, her pink apron a blur as she and Ooki craft snacks and drinks, always offering an ear and a smile for both locals and wanderers alike.

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.
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
We carry a large variety of different teas.
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.
Espresso con Panna
A rich blend of espresso, with a wonderful flavour.
A generous dollop of sour cream on top is a surprising addition, but harmonises perfectly with the drink itself.
We recommend a sprinkle of freshly grated chocolate on top, or a pinch of cinnamon.
Juices
We have a large variety of freshly squeezed juice available.
Ask a cafe worker, and see what we have on hand!
The 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.
Tips to staff members are appreciated, for all of their hard work.Thank you!

"Hello, and welcome to The Ornery Dhalmel!"
'The Ornery Dhalmel' is owned by a Marceau LaChance and not due to the irony that he is an Elezen but that his assistant Tilla brought him home a stuffed dhalmel as a gift.
It is now with its own special place within the man's bar regardless of him being grumpy of its presence or not.He only agreed to open the bar because he was told in the past that he was far too anti-social and at least this way he can drink on the job while charging others for booze.A typical bar menu of various drinks: Ales, Beers, Wines, Meads, Whiskey, Rum, Scotch, Vodka, Bourbon, Absinthe and Mixed Drinks just to name a few.There is a small list of baked goods made by Marceau's assistant such as cookies, muffins, cheesecake and cake.
