Blossom

This is the Best Vegan restaurant on the upper west side

The truffle ravioli is mouthwatering. So is the pizza, nachos, burger, curried sweet potato, piccata, and lasagna. Can't go wrong here. Vegans and non vegans love this spot.

Blossom is definitely a place you should check out if you're vegetarian/vegan. I've been here several times with non-vegetarian/vegan friends who also enjoyed this place.

The service here is excellent. My friends and I have gone as parties of over 10 people, and the service was always reasonably fast and friendly.

Among my favorite dishes here are the fries with truffle aoli (which we order plenty of as a group, and always finish), the rigatoni and the gnocchi. I've also had the fried artichokes, which were ok, but I wouldn;t order those again.

The entrees are pretty solid as well, as a whole. My friends love the "chicken" marsala. I personally get full on the fries and gnocchi.

The desserts here are great as well. The chocolate ganache is really rich, so I recommend ordering it with a friend. My favorite dessert, though, is the tiramisu.

Totally recommended. The food is good and the dessert "chocolate ganache" was incredible! For people who is curious about trying vegan food and desserts this is the place to go! Service was fantastic regardless of the pandemic the place is great!! Drinks are different as well... expect your Maui mule to come in a can! It was refreshing.

Go check it out!!

The interior of this place is very charming. Tables of deep cherry wood, nice booth seating, cream-colored and blue flower print walls. There is a calm and tasteful atmosphere.

I was trying to decide between the seitan piccata or Blossom burger, so I asked the waiter for his opinion. He let me know that the seitan piccata was the most popular menu item. I decided to go for that one since it sounded tasty and unique. The dish consisted of pan-seared seitan cutlets, white wine-lemon-caper sauce, truffle mashed potatoes, and sautéed kale. It wasn't what I expected at all. It came presented in a shallow bowl with the sauce surrounding the mashed potato, with kale on top and finally, 2 pieces of seitan cutlets over the veggies. I would have preferred the sauce to be only on the seitan and both the mashed potatoes and kale to be separate. I found the sauce to be too salty and it overpowered any truffle flavor in the mashed potatoes. The seitan was way too rubbery and I could barely take one bite of it.

Thankfully, the waiter allowed me to get the Blossom burger, which was much better! The burger was made out of a Beyond patty an included lettuce, caramelized onions, tapioca cheddar, soy bacon, sautéed mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, and chipotle aioli, and a generous portion of seasoned fries. This was absolutely delicious! The burger was nice, juicy and had a pleasant texture, with great seasoning. The lettuce was crispy and fresh. I liked the melted tapioca cheese and the soy bacon had a satisfying crunch. French fries were delightful and perfectly crisp!

The service was pretty good. Our waiter was kind and answered all the questions we had. I'm not sure I would return, but I'm glad I had the chance to try the place.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WAS VEGAN!

Yes, y'all! I tried my first ever vegan restaurant in New York, and I must admit, it was "HELLA" good! One of the BEST vegan restaurants in the city, baybee! Blossom is one of those date night restaurants that you take a lovely lover! The food here is delicious. My friend and I took a recent trip to NY and she recommended this place as she is vegan and it was rated very high on Yelp. I didn't mind trying out a Vegan restaurant as long as it had either wine or alcohol, and Blossom answered my prayers! Now,--they didn't offer any alcohol, but they did offer some vegan wine, which I didn't know anything about until I came here! Blossom did EVERYTHING right and DID NOT disappoint me!

After walking in an hour before they closed, Blossom didn't have many customers as it was getting late. Inside is nice, cozy, and very inviting. We were able to snuggle in the back near the window as we sipped our wine and clicked glasses to our restful weekend in NY and people watched.

The menu offers creative and tasty food choices that will have your mouth watering! I was blown away with how delicious the food was! We started with the Scallops appetizer. For my main meal, I ordered the truffle cashew cream ravioli, which was incredible and flavorful that will fool any vegan thinking it couldn't be vegan, but it is, baybee! My friend ordered the lasagna and enjoyed it!

We opted for dessert, and don't ask me how they make a yummy ol' vegan tiramisu but that thang was DELICIOUS! O0H BABY! But WAIT, what about that scrumptious Chocolate Ganache? OH, MA GOSH! Life is GUD'!

Blossom is a great place to come for a date night or to celebrate a special event. They also have a large upstairs that holds larger seating groups. Upstairs is also where the bathrooms are!

We honestly went to several different restaurants in NY during our quick weekend trip, and must give credit to Blossom as they did a wonderful job in making us feel so welcomed and left happy! This is a costly restaurant and not one to eat out every day, but it's a special little treat in my book!

We recently went vegan, and much to my dismay I HATE vegan food!  But thank the good Lord for Blossom because this restaurant single handedly taught me that vegan can be delicious.

We ordered the trumpet mushrooms and crispy fried "calamari" mushrooms along with the setian steak and mushroom risotto.  They were ALL AMAZING.  It's cray what you can do with mushrooms and embed it with flavor so that it resembles seafood!

The dinner was so good that I ended up purchasing their cook book right on the spot, and my life has been changed for the better since.

Can't wait to go back and try the rest of their menu!!!!!

I went here for the first time for brunch while I was visiting the city with my boyfriend. The experience was fantastic!

I had the tofu Benedict and French toast. Both were delicious! I would definitely recommend ordering the Benedict if you're vegan and miss eggs Benedict :)

The staff was super friendly and the place was very cute and homey. Definitely check this place out!

I'm not versed with a vocabulary that enables me to order from a menu that strictly caters to a vegan diet.
But, I was in NYC with a friend craving a particular item from the menu, so I accommodated.
No fan of seitan or tofu, I went with ordering the recognizable, a Caesar salad.
Nothing exotic, right?
Not worthy of a review, right?
Wrong!!!
I've never had a better salad.
Fresh shredded romaine with shiitake "bacon" and toasted capers.
Precisely tossed in a deliciously creamy dressing and dusted with an unidentifiable powder - crushed pistachio maybe?
I thoroughly enjoyed this salad.

And, take out service in an eco friendly container.
It would normally seem mundane or banal.
But, so elevated, I was compelled to write a review.

I've been a frequent visitor to Blossom Du Jour, Blossom's sister casual to-go restaurant located neaby, for many years, so was excited to finally try the finer fare here when a friend suggested it for dinner.

We started with the sea scallops mushrooms and the fried artichokes. Fried artichokes were absolutely delicious and had the perfect texture. The sea scallops mushrooms had a beautiful presentation, but not a huge fan of the seasoning, and would skip next time.

I was tempted by the pasta dishes but ultimately decided upon the seitan piccata, and I am certainly glad I did. Ladled with capers and generous servings of truffle oil, the seitan, which appeared like a chicken marsala, was perfectly tender and so so rich. Would definitely order again.

Will be back to explore more of the menu!

We had a pleasant experience at Blossom last night celebrating my brothers birthday. A few individuals within our dinner party were trying out vegan food for the first time & this place definitely left a great impression.
Our server was sweet & very knowledgeable on recommendations. The different flavors from each plate were incredible & the portions were definitely fair. Really glad we picked this restaurant.
