Restaurant: Bloom Cafe
Location: 5544 W. Pico Blvd. (Mid-City)
Type of restaurant: Cafe
We stipulated: Tired of the same old choices near Variety, I suggested to my colleague Joe that we check out the Bloom Cafe -- which I hadn't been to, but was intrigued after walking past it on the Great LA Walk.
They stipulated: Breakfast entrees, such as organic eggs and pancakes, are available until 4 p.m.
What I ordered: Spicy Chicken Salad (organic baby greens, avocado, fresh corn, sun-dried tomato and chipotle vinaigrette; $11.50)
High point: The entree itself was decent, when it finally came.
Low point: Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow... and when the food finally came out, they got Joe's order wrong.
Overall impression: Nice environs, good menu... just some service issues. Prices are decent.
Chance we will go back: There are a few more entrees I wouldn't mind trying, including the red curry chicken sandwich and the fish tacos. I'm also intrigued by the lemon ricotta pancakes.
