Blossom Du Jour

Great vegan food, affordable and fast! A must stop anytime I’m in NYC. I try to get something different everytime I visit and everything I’ve tried so far is delicious– I must say that Mid Town Melt might be my favorite thing on the menu.

Came here for my first NYC meal and was not disappointed! Blossom was a close walk from my hotel (2 minutes max) so first of all, location was super convenient. I brought my non vegan family, and they were super impressed by the real-​ness of the «meats.» I got the ‘Un-​chicken avocado pesto sandwich,” and it tasted exactly like real chicken-​too good! My mom got the taco bowl and it was super delicious and filling. Would recommend both dishes!

What a great little place! Perfect for a quick vegan meal. I ordered the Protein Bowl. It was delicious and filling. I got an oatmeal cookie to go that was also wonderful. I gave 3 stars because I would like more seating. There were 5 of us and we had to split up to be seated.

I got a nice note from Blossom after posting my mostly positive review with the little whine about needing coffee. They informed me coffee was on the way, that the previous lack of coffee was logistical, not ideological, and they apologized sincerely that I felt «judged» for my caffeine habit (OK, addiction). So I’m upping my review to 5 stars, partly out of guilt for my misplaced paranoid whining, but mostly out of appreciation for the personal outreach, which clearly puts Blossom in the top tier for customer service.
Here’s the original:
4 stars for a great concept well executed — fast food vegan for breakfast lunch and dinner. The only downside was that when this non vegan ventured in for breakfast (a very fine breakfast scramble in a gluten free wrap) and discovered there was no coffee, I got a bit of a smoothie or juice sales pitch «if you need a boost.» When I held out for Java the «so you’re a solid caffeine person» felt just a bit judgy. That’s when I realized they didn’t serve coffee for health reasons. Maybe it’s just me, but I felt redeemed enough for passing up the NYC diner experience without needing to go in for the full on organic cleanse.
But enough about me — Blossom du Jour is a great concept that deserves to be more than just an eating fad du jour.

Between getting orders wrong and long waiting periods for delivery and truly delicious food I’v had almost every experience that you could possibly have at this cute little takeout place! I love it! Blossom is my number one choice for everything!
This review is really about the delivery service though. I don’t know what they are doing differently or if they hired new guys but they are absolutely wonderful. They are fast they are nice what more could you ask for. Way to go Blossom! Still love you guys always will.
thanks for the great food, and great delivery guys! keep it up.
Thanks :)

Blossom du Jour was okay overall, but I’ve definitely tasted better Vegan food.
Custom Blossom Bowl
— I ordered marinated kale, tofu scramble, lemon un-​chicken, grilled vegatables, and the beet burger pattie.
— Un-​chicken was my favorite part of this bowl. Well textured and flavored! Items like these make me want to eat more vegan.
— Tofu scramble was great. Solid seasoning and texture to the tofu scramble with the right balance of chopped vegetbales mixed in.
— Marinated kale came out soggy and overly oiled for my liking.
— The roasted carrots that came as my grilled vegetables were way too overcooked. I typically love roasted carrots, but these didn’t seem edible due to the way they were cooked.
— In a bowl setting, I would avoid getting the beet burger pattie because it lacked flavor as a stand-​alone item. I would consider getting it again in a burger, but this item didn’t meet my expectations.
Buffalo Bites
— Great flavor and couldn’t even tell that these weren’t made with real chicken!
— Similar to other reviews, these were a little too soggy for my liking. When I think of buffalo bites, I imagine a balanced crunch in the exterior with the sauciness from the buffalo flavor. However, these just came out as if someone took a mixture of batter and buffalo sauce and lathered them over the un-​chicken bites.
Would give this another shot in the future, but can’t say that this was my favorite lunch order.

First off my one star is because of their
Service
The food I give 4 stars.
So this isn’t the first time I’ve have problems with
Ordering & delivery
I’m pissed, my mom just ordered and it has been an hour, we call to say we will be picking up
Just arrived and they had Forgotten, yea
They FORGOT to tell the delivery man which is at our building now .
Wtf?
Need to work on communication + service .
Also their portions where much more 2 yrs ago.
Given that I can get a full vegan plate with veggie meat at veggie heaven for 9 $ max
This is deff over priced too. A shame because they could do better …

After waiting 90 minutes for my order, someone told me my food was on it’s way.
After waiting TWO HOURS for my order, I was told that it never got made.
Sure I got a refund, I just want my f-​ing lunch…

Decided to start the day healthy with a vegi based breakfast and actually this is Vegan, and the breakfast bowl had scrambled tofu, some grilled tempeh, roasted sweet potato an some sauteed kale, lovely! A friend and I also split the green smoothie and and it was smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet. The breakfast bowl also comes with a small container of ketchup (not used) and hot sauce (which was great and used a lot of it). I would definitely go back here for breakfast or even lunch if I’m in the area.

Meh…
It’s bland and overpriced. We had the quesadilla which was nice and hot but it was a bit cardboardy… We also ordered black bean wrap which I wish they made it a little better. The bean burger was just mashed beans without any flavor and the lettuce was on the other side. If they mixed everything in the wrap first and then rolled it, added some salsa or tomatoes to it… It may be better.
The staff was nice!

Good food, good people who align with the values. A fantastic quick spot for a guilt-​free meal.

Cute little vegan fast food joint.
My coworker spoke very highly of this place, multiple times– so I decided to go with her after work to get some food.
There were so many options that sounded amazing, but I went for the buffalo wrap. It was REALLY good! It was big enough for me, and stuffed and filling. I loved the buffalo sauce, it was perfect. It all just tasted exactly like wings in a wrap. I’m not vegan or even vegetarian, but I’m super open to both options so as a meat eater, I was very impressed. I will be going back to try the sky scraper which I heard great things about, as well as the buffalo bites and the taco bowl and even the philly cheesesteak.
The wrap was pricey, and the staff weren’t the most attentive, but honestly they weren’t rude or anything and seemed to know what they were doing so it’s not even a big deal. I will be coming back VERY often, since I work just a few blocks away.
*** UPDATE ****
While I still love the wrap, and will be trying other things– I am VERY disappointed in this place because of the sudden switch of the patty in the skyscraper burger. The cashiers did not warn me about the change, when I feel like that’s important– and didn’t express a major concern after my obvious disappointment with the new bean burger and how it hurts my stomach to consume too many legumes. He did offer me a switch, but I rejected his offer because I was more upset that he didn’t tell me about the change then I was about the food. I didn’t eat it, but it’s fine. I don’t believe in wasting product so I didn’t take his offer.
My friend and I are both very upset about this change??? PLEASE change the patty back. The new one is *terrible*. It tastes like a frozen veggie patty from the market, and it looks gross.
:(I love this place but I’m so upset.

Decided to grab something healthy before my night workout. Prefer something carb-​free so I built up my own blossom bowl by adding four items — marinated kale, mixed veggie, scrambled tofu and lemon chicken, with herb mustard dressing. Enjoyed their scrambled tofu a lot, very soft and flavorful; however chicken was a bit dry and hard to bite. The herb dressing didn’t really add any flavor on top so next time I would probably skip…
They have very few seats, so take-​out would be ideal.

Tasty but a little pricey!
I ordered the Benedict wrap and a mini caesar salad and it was about $ 13. On the menu it says that the Benedict wrap is tofu, vegan ham, and vegan hollandaise sauce. The vegan hollandaise sauce was just veganaise and didn’t taste like anything special. The wrap, however, was still pretty good but it’s totally something I could make at home.
The caesar salad was shredded lettuce, capers, and dressing and it was the size of a side salad. Not sure why they charge $ 5 for it because there’s literally nothing to it. It was decent, however.
It’s nice to see NY offering vegan options, just wish they weren’t so pricey. Welcome to New York, I guess…

This vegan place is more of a to go place. It is very small with just a few stools lining one wall. Food was excellent though. We tried the following here:
–Midtown Melt — One of their most popular items. This sandwich contains seitan (wheat gluten) as the «meat» but the flavor of the sandwich that stood out was the cheese and avocado. Infact, it felt like a grilled cheese sandwich to me. Pretty tasty overall.
–Philly Cheese Steak — This sandwich also had seitan in it. However, the seitan in this one was better marinated and had better flavor. The pepper, onions and cheese in it also give it a stronger flavor. We both thought this one was even better than the Midtown Melt.
–Buffalo Bites — This side was just okay. They were a little soggy and definitely had the buffalo sauce on them, but didn’t really stand out to us.
–Strawberry Banana Smoothie — Tasted like any average smoothie. Hard drink to mess up.
Because the two sandwiches we tried were so good, we will definitely be back to try other things.

I’m really happy with this place. Seriously!
I’ve been craving breakfast food for a very long time and Blossom Du Jour really hit the nail on the head for me. Their Egg, Cheese & Bacon Muffin was sooooo good. I couldn’t believe how much I missed breakfast.
After having the muffin sandwich I decided that I would try more things on their menu and I was not disappointed (they were all equally as good).
This place is seriously really good. If I lived here I would be a regular.
So if you do live here please check this place out and become a regular in my honor. Kthxbye!

I was a bit hesitant paying $ 10 for a vegan burger but man it was so worth it! The Skyscraper burger was delicious, if you like vegan burgers that taste just like meat ones… this is the best I’ve ever had.
The service was very fast and friendly. No more will I ever wait on line for a mushroom burger at shake shack nearby. now that I found this place, Can’t wait to come back and try the smoothies.

Yummy fast vegan food! I love the getting the bowls here. Hearty ingredients with simple, good flavors. You can pick any 4 ingredients or choose a standard bowl (various combinations). I love the kale & grilled vegetables. The buffalo chicken bowl is good too.
They do use a bunch of faux meat (I think it is gardein brand?). The buffalo chicken and honey mustard bites are gardein’s chicken tenders that are flavored accordingly I’m pretty sure.
The wraps are good too. I’ve tried the smoky avocado wrap with tempeh which is really good! I recommend it.
There are a bunch of other sandwiches, burgers, smoothies, milk shakes, juices. There is a fridge with some premade salads, wraps and desserts.
New menu items I recently noticed are Philly cheer steak and mac & cheese.
I love the banana bread here! A mini loaf of yummy banana bread with chocolate chips. I’ve also had the mini apple pie which is alright. I have not tried much of the other desserts (cupcakes, brownie and cookies). The desserts are standard among all the blossom du jours I believe.
The store itself is pretty small with some counter seating. They recently raised prices :/​but I was told they now donate proceeds to various animal charities!
All in all a good place for fast vegan food. It is near me so a convenient place to drop by. I have returned several times as it is convenient. Getting a little on the pricey side for basically a take out place though.

Looks can be deceiving and you may feel that you’re not getting your money’s worth however I was stuffed after eating 3 of the 4 pieces of the quesadilla. I also had a bite of the bbq un-​chicken and it tasted great. Marinated kale, quinoa and un-​chicken tenders all had flavor and tasted great.
Overall unexpected flavor, moderately priced and filling. Not much seating inside and the drinks are expensive.

How do you make sweet potatoes taste bad? Idk, ask the cook at Blossom du Jour. I am so disappointed. The bacon tasted like the worst Slim Jim ever. Basically, I don’t get how this place has an A rating.
The smoothies are okaaaay. Definitely not worth $ 30 for a nasty breakfast bowl and 2 smoothies.
I literally had to spit this stuff out into a napkin. Do not take that lightly.
