BloomBar Café et Fleurs plans to open its first Manhattan shop on the Upper East Side in late October 2026. The café and flower shop already has locations in New Jersey and Brooklyn.

Customers can stop for coffee or browse gifts and home décor. BloomBar also sells clean beauty products and flowers to take home. The company describes its changing menu as organic and clean.

The business began during COVID as a small flower market in a New Jersey enclave. A café followed.

Matcha, cold brew and soft serve

BloomBar started serving matcha four years ago and imports it directly from Japan. Its lattes use plant and oat milks batched in house.

As Clean Coffee’s exclusive café partner, BloomBar serves its single-origin organic cold brew. It also makes vegan soft serve with a fava bean base. The soft serve is non-dairy and gluten free. Salads and fresh pastries from local bakers are available too.

Flower arrangements and gifts

The flower market makes signature bouquets and vase arrangements for pickup or delivery. The shops also carry gifts and home décor, with clean beauty products and flowers available to grab and go.

The founders

Heleyne and Ronnie Tamir previously owned Cantaloup, a fashion chain on the Upper East Side, in the early 2000s. Before founding BloomBar, Heleyne spent 15 years in luxury beauty and co-founded Surratt Beauty.

“BloomBar is where people come for life’s small moments, like coffee with a friend or an hour to themselves,” Heleyne Tamir said. “We want those moments to happen surrounded by beauty, in a space that feels transporting yet completely at ease.”

BloomBar locations

The Upper East Side shop is set to be the company’s eighth location, counting its vegan soft serve concept, Ripe. A ninth location is planned for Monmouth Square in Eatontown, NJ, in spring 2027.
