Went to Bloom & Bean will Holly for our catch up. We've been wanting to go for a while as it's all over Instagram and they had a competition where if you followed them on Instagram and sent them a DM you could be a cake taster just before Christmas. But neither of us won and we would have been perfect for it.
When we walked in it wasn't what I was expecting. It's really small, there's just a bench across the wall with 3 little tables attached to it so you can't move it. Only really works if there's 2 of you to sit next to each other and then 3 high chairs looking out the window. The interior is very Instagram with flower lights on the ceiling but a very weird set up.
We went at 2pm and it was empty no on there then as we sat down more people came in and it got full where there was no space for anyone else and this group came in but they got take outs. It was a very strange atmosphere - empty fridge with only 1 girl running the place. The girl said she had no receipts so she took our order on an iPad then completely forgot what our order was as she didn't write it down and had to keep asking what we ordered.
I got a matcha and vanilla latte with coconut milk. Holly got a hibiscus and dragon fruit latte with coconut milk - she had no oat milk with a slice of rainbow cake.
We were trying to work out what the flavours of each colour of the cake were - think the top was lavender, the blue - blueberry, green - just plain vanilla (should have been matcha) yellow - lemon and the orange - chocolate orange. The cake was actually really nice.
My latte was really nice. Was nicer than the one I had in Leaf on Smithdown. Holly's one was nice as well but I preferred mine. They were both glittery as well not sure what she put on it.
Holly's a better photographer than me taken with her iPhone S10.
It was cute but it was just a really weird place like it was empty with only 1 girl running it. She didn't have a lot in when people asked for things and the toilet you walk right into the kitchen and it was right at the back. Didn't like how the chairs were set up and everyone facing the counter - definitely would have preferred a proper table with chairs instead of both being squashed together with a tiny table. There wasn't many cakes to choose from and when I asked the girl if they had any macarons because I seen them on Instagram the girl was like we haven't got any, I think they will bring them back in the summer which was strange how she didn't know. But they were offering 20% student discount so it was reasonably priced after discount.
After we walked down to Queen's Avenue. Liverpool's version of Diagon Alley.
Love this painting but it's £1750. But pricey.
The street is really cute and looks nice but was dead. There's only 1 restaurant with no one in it. It's a shame but it's quite out of town off Castle Street so most people don't even know it's there. I only know it's there as I walk past it to go to and from work otherwise I wouldn't have known.
