Booked 24 times today

100% Plant-Based restaurant in Wicker Park. We have always had the core belief of being as good to ourselves (and the earth) as possible, but as we grow, we have always wanted to do more. With this desire, we decided to open Bloom Plant Based kitchen. Not only is eating a more plant-based diet healthier and more forgiving to one’s body, but it is significantly better for the environment. However, with healthy plant-based options not being the popular choice, we know we have stiff competition. Therefore, our intention with Bloom is to focus on bringing flavorful, healthy, and affordable plant-based food to families while also being desirable and appealing to everyone regardless of their diet.

Had an amazing time went there just to celebrate a birthday and truly had an amazing time! Ice cream sundae was amazing! So many things in it! Got the $60 one (not on menu ask about it ;) ) with birthday song! Was able to share with the group. The song on the speakers, they let me pick a song that was not available and we just had a ball. Super nice people. Everything was amazing! Will recommend for sure

I had a wonderful lunch with a friend. She was running late and our server was great about checking in on me while I was waiting. The food is always great, though this is my first time at the River North Doc B’s (I usually go to the one across from Bloomingdale’s off of Michigan Ave.). The restaurant is consistently good with excellent service.
