From our beloved regulars
Absolutely love this place, the workers are always so friendly and willing to help if you cant decide. the coffee is always amazing as well as the pastries. I cant recommend them enough. easily my favorite coffee place in Cleveland. 🩷
I had a good time, the shop's a bit hard to find if you eyeball it, but let gmaps guide you after parking (which is plentiful and free) and you'll be good. First bloom is in a refurbished brick industrial building (think brick smoke stacks and old rail lines) and it fits the feeling of the artist studios and art shops around it. Go for the pastries, go for the coffee drinks, pass on the drip coffee if you want it black. 4.8/5
Banana pudding latte was good and not sweet. Nice big rooms and lots of seating. Nice antique shop next door
What a hidden gem. Quiet, charming, with delicious bagels. Added to my breakfasts spots on my TN visits
What a find! My goodness where has this place been in my life! We were thrilled to find this fabulous cozy coffee spot and bakery in such a gorgeous location! We had a matcha lemonade with added strawberries, 2 iced Amber Waves and a pour over. All were delicious! I had one of the Amber Waves and it tasted like homemade syrup with a lovely balance of acidity and creaminess. My goodness we will be back!
My new favorite coffee spot in Cleveland TN! What a hidden gem, tucked inside the old grist mill. Such a cool, and cozy location. Staff is friendly and happy to share all the delicious options they offer. The strawberry scone I had was beyond fantastic (I haven’t been able to find true scones in the area… these guys know what they are doing!) and the brown sugar latte was tasty. I can’t wait to go back.
Great selection of coffee drinks, tea, and pastries. I got a very tasty jalapeño popper bagel sandwich. The staff is very friendly and willing to make suggestions. It’s a worthy detour if you like hole in the wall coffee shops. 10/10 will go again.
this place was great!!!! my food and drink were sooooo delicious and unique! there were lots of seating options and it was super cute and cozy. i got some studying done there and i loved it! and the employees are so nice :) i’ll definitely be back!!
Best coffee ☕️ quality and atmosphere I’ve been to in years. Dakota was a great barista and cool person made the vibe chill 🇺🇸👏🏽🐺💯 This history of this place and mill that has been restored and repurposed is such an upgrade blessing to the Cleveland community! East Tennessee jewel of a place Way better choice for coffee and chill vibe compared to Starbucks
We stopped in at First Bloom Coffee and Bakery this afternoon. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and immediately felt welcome. Since it was our first visit, Dakota walked us through the coffee and bakery menu and took our order. We mentioned we were new to the area, and he kindly recommended other places in town to check out, which we really appreciated. I had a Peppermint Mocha that had the perfect amount of peppermint, and my wife chose one of the holiday coffees. We shared a hazelnut chocolate croissant that was flaky, rich, and delicious. The atmosphere was relaxed and the old wool factory location gave it a whimsical charm that made the experience even more enjoyable. The highlight of our visit was Dakota’s genuine friendliness and the unique old-world factory setting. With plenty of parking and a scenic, interesting location, First Bloom Coffee and Bakery is a wonderful spot we look forward to visiting again
