Part of First Bloom
First Bloom started as a charming little corner store in Bloomville, New York — a place where you could find groceries, produce and most ingredients you’d need to make a wonderful meal (plus, a few things just to make you happy). It was small. It was specific. People drove a long way to get there and we’d like to think it was worth it.
This fall, we’re opening a second location in Brooklyn Heights. It will be bigger and more ambitious than what we built upstate. There will be a small cafe with fabulous prepared foods, a cozy wine bar, a retail floor with spectacular produce, and a really great coffee program.
