Bloom’s Delicatessen

Local diner more than anything else. It’s pretty busy for breakfast. The food is eh. The omelettes, French toast, pancakes are eh. The one think I found troubling is the no substitution rule or better yet we charge for everything on the side. Don’t not want hash browns with your omelette it’s no problem, it 6 $ for fruit or 1 $ more for a slice of lettuce and tomato. You want an English muffin instead of whole wheat toast oh yeah that’s extra too.
Btw, they really need to change their utensils as they are kinda gross and looked like they have been used and abused.
Note there is a diner right down the block. Try it before thing this place
I’d pass and go else where u are treated as a guest not a hostile prisoner.
For those visiting the big apple you are blessed with an abundance of choices. This should not be one. Yikes!!!

Always favorite spot when visiting the city. Great sandwiches all a mile high. What ou think of as good deli in NYC.

Had breakfast. Good selection came out very nice, hot, and tasty. The restaurant itself was clean and service was great. The sanitary rating is an A. I would come back here!

Blooms Delicatessen is simply a great way to start your day with a good old-​fashioned breakfast. We saw the menu outside and immediately noticed that Blooms does not «rake you» so we went in. The restaurant is on a great corner location, is open and airy and the employees, especially our wonderful server Agnes, were absolutely wonderful to talk to. Importantly, they keep the coffee flowing!
I would highly recommend the corned beef because there is just something about the corned beef here that is really tasty. This is a great place for breakfast a couple of blocks from Grand Central Station and I highly recommend it!

Immediate adjectives are: filthy, rude, arrogant, incredibly overpriced, and most importantly mediocre. I stopped by because it was packed and thought maybe I could get some excellent diner food. The BLT tiny, and more or less an iceberg lettuce sandwich which was14 $ without a
addition, the mayo was on the side which is just stupid, unless I asked for it that way. A poor sandwich in conjunction with probably the most filthy restaurant I ever been makes me wonder why Blooms still exists, and more importantly, why there were so many people in there looking like they were enjoying themselves.

This place has a separate GF menu which is great. Had a chicken sandwich to go which was tasty and came with a pickle and some salad… definitely overpriced though, at $ 12.95 a sandwich!

Hostess with an attitude. Quick service since the place is empty at 8 am on a Friday. Had 3 eggs and bacon, browns and bread… Not easily screwed up but these guys have a gift… If your in the area, starving and see this deli remember your in New York and walk another block…

This place is OK — not good, not bad, just OK. I would give it a higher rating, but there are so many other places nearby that are just so much better.

I went to this Diner On Sunday for breakfast. It was packed. The hostesses did not see me on the line and she was helping some body else, the waiter took my order but my food took a long time (a couple that arrived after me was sitting next to me and their food was delivered before mine). I was not offered water. It was very poor customer service. Didn’t like the food neither.

This was the first place we ate at when we landed from New York. We were all very hungry and ordered the standard breakfast items. Reasonably priced and the portions were large.

This review is primarily for their gluten free banana-​chocolate pancakes.
They were AWESOME.
The food is reasonably priced, came out rather quickly and was GOOD. The service is just awful, but what do you expect at a place like this? It took awhile for our coffees to get refilled or to even get water. The AC was barely on and it was extremely hot. The creamer and syrup came out in packets. The bills are handwritten and you have to go up to the register after you eat to pay.
It’s overall pretty consumer unfriendly, but if they can make gluten free pancakes taste that good, I’m going back!
lunch tab: 1 pastrami sandwich, 1 GF pancakes + eggs+ sausage, 2 coffees, 1 diet coke = $ 38.50

$ 13.50 for a sub-​par grilled ham & cheese w/​fries. not only disappointed but i feel cheated!

I attempted to have lunch here with my one of my girlfriends and her ten week old baby. The baby was sleeping in it’s stroller. We walked in and an older gentleman started yelling that we could not eat there because there was nowhere for us to sit with a stroller. The baby was reclined in the stroller so we could have just moved a chair from the table and slid the stroller (and sleeping baby) into that space. When I tried to explain that to him he told us to leave. I have never experienced such a rude individual in my whole life. Usually a restaurant would try to accomodate someone with a baby. I can see him not wanting to have a screaming child in the restaurant but this baby was sleeping. It was very bizarre.

Great deli with a delicious smoked fish platter. Very welcome respite from the intense NYC heat, ugh.
The interior and bathrooms are not the cleanest (bathrooms esp. are horriffic), but it’s a solid place for deli food.

Definitely not where you want to start your NYC culinary adventures, but this place was on the same block as our hotel and we were hungry.
Bloom’s was very simple, but not very delicious. My friends and I ordered various scrambles for breakfast, and found them all «meh.» There wasn’t much flavor, and my «hold the potatoes» was ignored. The waitress also kept putting condiments and other people’s plates on our table, even though there were plenty of other empty tables.

It’s the only diner I passed from Fifth Ave to Lex. I was hard-​pressed to find any restaurants along 40^th and 41^st St. (national franchise or otherwise).
It was clean. The service was attentive. There wasn’t a wait. My food came out hot. The bill was correct.
Was it the best NY diner food I’ve ever had? No. I’m pretty sure my cheese blintzes were «just okay». My chicken noodle soup was fine. Here’s a news flash: They aren’t the most expensive diner I’ve been to in Midtown East.
Had I attended college or law school in Manhattan, this is a place that I would have patronized. It’s perfect for sitting for hours on end w/​your laptop or your books and a coffee or a side of fries.

This place was crap, it was expensive, and I’m still feeling gurgly from the food.
I came here with a buddy who was visiting the city and I owe him my deepest apologies. I got a hot pastrami sandwich which I can’t even include in the running of my search for the best in the city. It was flavorless, dry and had no character. Not just the meat, even the rye was poor.
Plus they do that annoying thing where they pile all of the meat in the middle, so it looks huge when you cut it in half. We know that trick, boys!
My friend got a turkey sandwich for $ 12 that looked like it was made by a 12 year old.
This is not a real deli. This is a deli-​themed restaurant. And not a good one.

I came here on my lunch break the other day and was immediately nervous about how empty it was. Almost every place within a mile radius of where I work is packed between 12 and 2, except apparently for Bloom’s…now I know why. But because of its emptiness we were able to sit down right away and enjoy the full hour we had. We all ordered our own versions of eggs, and the food literally came out in 2 minutes (alarming even for eggs). The food looked as though it had been sitting out, and the fries were pretty cold. Our sever barely talked to us, and decided to both bring and charge me for a second diet coke without asking me if I wanted it. For the food/​service we got I’d say it was too expensive, and my money would have been better spent on a nice cup of chili from Hale and Hearty.

Reasonably priced breakfast, off the tourist path, fast service, tasty hash browns…
I’ll go back… probably.
Or not… whatev.
