I just went to Bloom Coffee & Tea today.  Bloom just opened on Monday and I had to check it out.  Bloom is owned by my friends Jeff and Ashley Macpherson.  I asked them why they decided to open up a coffee shop.  Ashley said she has always wanted to have a coffee shop and Jeff is experienced in the restaurant industry so the couple teamed up to start Bloom.

Bloom is located at 1600 New Road in Northfield, NJ.  It’s a great location that is easy to get to and there is plenty of parking designated for Bloom customers only.  The building has been completely remodeled and is all new inside.  Bloom is comfortable and inviting with ample seating to sit and relax.  The atmosphere is great and the coffee and tea is the best!  I ordered an Iced tea with lemon and sweetened with Agave (no sugar).  It was delicious and refreshing.

Stop in and visit Bloom you won’t be disappointed!  Tell Jeff and Ashley that I sent you.
