Bloom Room Cbr

Bloom Room Cbr is a pancake-focused restaurant in Civic, Canberra, with a menu that stretches from breakfast through to lunch, dinner, drinks and dessert-style plates. Its approach is garden-inspired, with the venue describing itself as an urban oasis where seasonal produce, colour and presentation are central to the experience. The menu also says its sauces and syrups are made in-house, adding a clear house touch to many of the dishes.

The sweet pancake selection is the obvious draw. Berry Breeze pairs pancakes with strawberry coulis, while Chocolate Bloom combines Belgian chocolate chips, vanilla ice cream and house-made hot chocolate fudge. For something more substantial, Chocolate Rhapsody adds strawberries, chocolate chips, fudge, cream and a choice of ice cream to two chocolate pancakes. Other options include Banana Maple Glow, The Red Rhapsody with mascarpone, raspberry and rhubarb, and the shareable Mini Me stack with Nutella, strawberry and banana. There is also a build-your-own format, allowing guests to choose a one-, two- or three-pancake serving with a complimentary topping.

It is not only a sweet-breakfast venue. Savoury breakfast choices include pancakes with bacon and eggs, poached eggs with spinach and Hollandaise, and Benedict-style pancakes with ham. Later meals cover salads, Sri Lankan rice and curry, chicken dishes, steak bites, a burger-style Meadow Melt and crumbed fish with cottage fries and salad. For the table, the menu lists cottage wedges, spring rolls, chicken pieces, pork ribs, cheese platters and fries. Drinks range from espresso coffee, specialty lattes, juices, smoothies and milkshakes to mocktails, cocktails, tap beer and wine.

The venue’s garden theme is reflected in its stated philosophy: it aims to let fresh, seasonal ingredients lead, sourcing from local farms and partner gardens while creating plates designed to be colourful and full of flavour. The overall offering suits a relaxed breakfast, a sweet treat, a casual meal with friends or a larger gathering, with events and high tea also listed on the site. Families have dedicated menu references, while solo diners can keep things simple with coffee, a single pancake or a full meal. Reservations are available, and the venue asks guests to book ahead if they would like to arrange a booking outside its listed service times.
