If you’re searching for a garden café or looking for unique things to do in Marion, Iowa, you have found the right page! It’s the kind of spot where you can meet up with friends, get some work done with a latte in hand, or host a cozy get-together in the flower-filled courtyard.

This place was surprisingly busy on an early Friday afternoon. But it was clear everyone here was enjoying the food and atmosphere.
Heard about this place from my mom and decided to give it a chance. I have to say, this was excellent.
My pick two combo included a bowl of Zuppa Tuscana soup and half a BLTA sandwich on multigrain bread.
The soup was impressive. The meat was hearty and the broth was very warm and savory. The sandwich had fresh ingredients all around; thick slices of bacon and crisp vegetables along with fresh avocado spread made it a satisfying choice.
To finish my meal. I ordered a Petunia smoothie (no, there were no petunia flowers in the smoothie). I enjoyed the smoothie’s fruity mix and sweet flavor. Combined with its creaminess and just the right thickness, it made for an excellent treat.
I’m definitely planning to visit this place again for another meal.

I wanted to give Bistro at Blooms a shout out for excellent food! We ordered an array of quiches and some cinnamon rolls for our Iowa Realty breakfast meeting and they did an amazing job! The quiches are large, filling, and delicious.

The food here was extremely tasty. I had a pick two. White chili Chicken and Cesar salad. It was like no other. You can tell everything here is made fresh. My husband had a turkey panini it had lots a favorite. Very enjoyable. We both finished it off with some yummy desserts he snagged one before I could even get a pick. We had the special carnal maple spice hot. Yum.
What a great atmosphere. They even have a private room for business meetings or just some privacy for a small party. This will be a must in the future. From the people working the front counter to the cooks were all great. They had smokes you could tell they love their jobs.
It was very clean and had a gorgeous interior from decor to tables.
There were several tables just sitting and visiting after their meal. Yet there was plenty of room for more guests.

Wonderful birthday lunch with family in one of their private rooms. Gracious and helpful staff. Thank you for the beautiful day and picking up the perfect plant as my birthday gift (Delphinium)!!

I never knew about this cafe until my best friend told me how amazing the food was there. I ate lunch there the next day with my best friend. I ordered a turkey cranberry panini, chips and a Pepsi. I bought a cinnamon roll for breakfast the next morning. The sandwich was so good. I could only eat half of the sandwich because it was so filling. I ate the other half of my panini for dinner. The cinnamon roll was soft and delicious. I definitely will be back again to try something new. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I had a lovely lunch today at Bistro at Blooms
So often coffee shops have a selection of pastries and perhaps a simple sandwich or some pasta salad…
But not this one.
The dedicated and hard-working crew at Bistro @ Blooms offer a delish breakfast and lunch menu that is scratch made in-house.
I was surprised to see items like Warm Brussels, consisting of shaved Brussels sprouts cooked with couscous and bacon, topped with pecans, dried cranberries, feta cheese and a honey lemon vinegarette
They have a full array of sandwiches as well, from a savory French dip to a scrumptious sounding Deluxe Grilled Cheese (cheddar crusted Sourdough bread with Cheddar, Swiss and Havarti), also including a Turkey Pesto Panini, which caught my eye today.
The sammie was great, the sourdough pressed and crisped just so, and filled with oven-roasted turkey breast (remember the scratch made bit?), Havarti, tomato and Pesto.
It was truly one of the better paninis I have had in some time, and I savored every bite, enjoying the perfect texture and spot on flavors.
I have had a bit of a craving for some tater tots lately, and I was really stoked to see them offered as a side item!
They were perfectly crispy and just as tasty as I remember, and I happily munched them down to the last tot.
The building is an unassuming steel structure, but don’t be fooled. The interior is spacious, bright, and welcoming. The staff were also quite lovely, particularly Kathleen, who took time to talk with me and discuss the inner workings of this most excellent bistro.
I will definitely be going back. That grilled cheese is calling my name…

The Bistro has a varied menu and the food is delicious. We had the avocado toast which was perfect and hot cocoa with oat milk which hit the spot on a cool morning. There is plenty of room to spread out and the food is brought to your table. We definitely look forward to going back again!

Wonderful atmosphere with delicious homemade food, this was the perfect spot for lunch! We enjoyed the turkey pesto panini on sourdough and BLT on a hoagie. We couldn’t pass up a sweet, their lemon poppyseed cake was perfect! ☺️

My wife and daughter went for breakfast. Muffin, smoothie, and a tea. Daughter(toddler) needed her diaper changed. In the short time they were gone to take care of that, their table was cleared. My wife asked the waitress if they threw away their barely eaten and drank items, waitress said yes and then carried on. Not even offering to replace them. If I threw away someone’s drink that was 95% gone, I would have replaced the whole thing.
