If you ever need to find us on a Saturday afternoon the first place you should check is Blossom on Columbus.
Blossom is our go to vegan brunch and when we say “go to” we mean we go to blossom every Saturday. We love it there. The food and cocktails are excellent, but the thing that has brought us back so many many many many many times is the staff. Everyone at Blossom is kind and welcoming. They take it very seriously, but in a way that allows for much joy. We love them.
As we said, the food is also excellent, so let's talk brunch.
First and foremost the vegan Caesar Salad is the best in our known universe. It is exceptional and is worth the trip to the Upper West Side of Manhattan regardless of your geographical location. When you go, order it. It comes in a half or entree size - get the full entree size.
While we have enjoyed much of the menu, we have our personal favorites. Which is what we will discuss today. The Pancakes, French Toast, and Huevos Rancheros on the brunch menu are wonderful. Off the regular menu the Nachos, Gnocchi, Ravioli, Polpette, Artichokes, Mac and Cheese and the Caesar(Did we mention how good the Caesar is?) are all excellent brunch options.
Our current every time order is: Start with the Caesar(Did we mention how good the Caesar is?) then the Country Breakfast, Tofu Benedict, and to drink two Americanos (occasionally we add Bloody Marys). What else can we say other than we eat this meal every weekend that we can? Love. The Country Breakfast is very satisfying, the Benedict is sophisticated and the Bloody Marys are made with house chipotle vodka.
We really don't mean to over-sell it but Blossom is a great way to spend weekend brunch. Hope to see you there!
