Soma - Bloomington

Even though I no longer live in Bloomington, whenever I make my annual visit, I always make sure to stop by Soma. I adore the cozy and inviting atmosphere they provide.

There are multiple Soma locations in the city, but my favorite is the one downtown on Kirkwood, known as the Underground Cellar. I adore the cozy atmosphere and the ability to work while enjoying a drink and pastry in the basement room adorned with cards and fairy lights. The menu offers a variety of drinks such as coffee, tea, smoothies, and juice, as well as a selection of vegetable milk options. Additionally, there are always vegan dessert choices available like cookies, cakes, muffins, and tarts. Delicious!

One of the top coffee spots in Bloomington, with a variety of vegan pastries available. As of November 2019, please note that the sugar cookies that were previously vegan are no longer. Make sure to inquire about any other recipe changes!

This is an amazing place to hunker with some work and a beautiful coffee house drink. Their vegan baked goods are simply okay, but their drinks options are amazing. They offer vegan smoothies, juices, coffee drinks and teas. Your drinks are very cheap compared to some other places.

The decor is cool, and this is downstairs from Laughing Planet, where you can get a good vegan burrito. Then hop on over to the record shop, and you have a whole day without going outside! They have a small selection of baked goods, and the soy milk is good.
