FAQ
Can't find your question? Call the Bistro at Blooms at 319-449-9996, we would love to talk to you!
do you have gluten free items?
We do! If you're looking for gluten free food in Marion, Iowa, you'll find plenty of options here. Every day our team bakes up fresh, gluten free pastries that just so happen to be delicious. So good, in fact, that most people don't even realize they're gluten free! We also offer gluten free bread for breakfast and lunch sandwiches, and can modify some menu items (like skipping the couscous in our Warm Brussels Salad) to better fit any dietary restrictions. PLEASE don't hesitate to ask us if you have any special requests. We truly want everyone to be able to enjoy our food!
do you have sugar free flavors for coffee and beverages?
We sure do. We always keep a rotation of sugar free coffee flavors on hand - usually hazelnut, vanilla, caramel, and sometimes seasonal surprises too. If you're searching for a coffee shop in Marion, Iowa with sugar free options, we've got you covered!
can I order pastries for a special occasion or just because?
Absolutely!! Whether it's a birthday, graduation, retirement, work meeting, or just a day where your sweet tooth is hitting - placing a custom pastry order with us is always an option. Simply call 319-449-9996 and let us know what you need.
do you have a private space I can reserve?
Yes! If you need a cozy spot to host a team meeting, book club, birthday brunch, or just catch up with a few friends, we have a private room that comfortably fits 6-10 people. You can reserve it ahead of time to make sure you've got the space you need.
It's perfect for anyone searching for a cafe with a private room near Cedar Rapids. The space is tucked just off the main dining area, close enough to easily pop out and chat with our kitchen staff if you need anything during your visit, but still private enough for good conversation, sharing big ideas, or a much-needed laugh...and we do hear a lot of laughter coming from the room!
do you have wifi?
Yes we do! Need to get some work done while enjoying your meal, or just want to scroll your TikTok FYP with a latte in hand? You are welcome to do that here!
wasn't this the Blooms gift shop?
Yes, and you're not the only one asking! Lots of people open the door expecting to see plants and gifts. Instead, they are greeted with the amazing smells coming from our kitchen and bakery! Most decide to stay and try out a new treat, but if you're looking for the gift shop, it's just across the parking lot. Feel free to grab a macchiato, smoothie, or frappucino before you head over to shop!
do you cater?
Currently, we can cater smaller groups. We have done many boxed lunches for groups having meetings. We're happy to provide local catering in Marion and Cedar Rapids depending on your needs, so let's chat and see what we can do for you!
