Bloom Baking Co. really does seem to have the best {flour} in Kansas City….

While visiting the Kansas City River Market yesterday, my wife and I came across a brand new bakery—come to find out they had only been open for four days.  Owners Stephen Zaragoza and Janet M. O’Toole warmly greeted us as we stood staring into the bakery cases like a couple of small children.  Janet took the time to descibe to us what each item was in the cases and under the glass domes.  They offer items like apple tarts, peanut butter crunch bars, lemon cake, cream filled horns, scones and many other sweet pastrys.  They bake their breads and croissants daily and even offer a great selection of cookies—like iced oatmeal!

I was immediately drawn to the cranberry scones.  The scone feels so dense and heavy sitting in your hand, but it was heavenly light and flaky when I bit into it.  Owner Steve said that they also have Bing cherry scones that are really delicious. I hope it’s Bing cherry day next time I’m there!  Robin chose the cream-filled horn. Talk about melt in your mouth.  The cool part about the Bloom Co’s horn is it’s coated on the inside with chocolate—Robin said, “look, it’s like a drum stick cone, but way better” and the cream filling was outrageously rich and delicious.

Bloom Baking Co. uses several local products in their bakery from the flour which is milled in Kansas to the flavored lemonades and root beer.  You can also find hand made desert stands and they even have eco-friendly market bags that would be great to use while shopping at the River Market. 

I promise you that once you stop in you’ll be a return customer….I know my wife and I are!!!
