Bloomell Coffeehouse Olten — Restaurant in Olten

After reading the great reviews here, my partner and I decided to have breakfast there on a beautifully sunny Sunday morning. We ordered using the unique QR code on our table.

My "English style" breakfast arrived about eight minutes later. There was lots of bacon but it was quite dry. Also, some some unknown reason, they garnished it with radish and a sprig of herbs. I think that some baked beans would have helped me swallow it easier.

I finished my breakfast (after drinking copious amounts of coffee to wash it down) and finally, after a twenty minute delay, my partner's US style pancakes arrived. Her experience was in direct contrast to mine and she absolutely loved them.

Summary. "English breakfast" good portions but replace the salad stuff with baked beans to add a bit of moisture to the meal.

A twenty minute wait for my partner is unacceptable.

I will probably return but only to see if the English...

Visited this café for the first time yesterday, and I don’t think it’ll be my last!

The interior is very inviting, and it’s surprisingly nice, chill, and quiet, when you sit outside too.

They have a pretty large menu (full menu when you use the QR code!) with lots of drinks and snacks to choose from, and I really need to try their pancakes next time. I got an iced Latte Macchiato as well as a passion fruit cheesecake, both of which did not disappoint. Their coffee is quite bitter though, so if you, like me, like milder coffees, I suggest getting something really milky or ordering your coffee with some sort of sirup. The cheesecake was good, especially the crust, but next time I’d definitely try the blueberry cheesecake instead, as I found that passion fruit is not “exciting” enough for me.

The service is incredibly friendly and helpful too, and prices are average for Switzerland, I would say.

Thank you for...

Went for brunch with a friend and really enjoyed the experience. It's super convenient to reach, with a bus stop right in front of the entrance – perfect if you're coming by public transport.

They offer different brunch options, and I loved their modern ordering system: scan the QR code at your table, place your order, and pay right away via Twint, card, or cash. This makes the whole experience smooth, you can just get up and leave when you're done, no waiting for the bill.

The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was fantastic, I had the shakshuka (highly recommend!) and pancakes. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

A heads up: It's a kid friendly place, there's a kiddies’ play corner, so there were quite a few families during our visit, which made the atmosphere a bit noisy. But if you're okay with a lively vibe, it’s a...
