Hidden Gems: Meet Thomas Bloom of BLOOM Coffee & Espresso

Today we’d like to introduce you to Thomas Bloom.

Hi Thomas, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for sharing your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstories with our readers.
After moving cross country just under two years ago, we quickly came to love so much about our new community. When we first arrived, the one thing we did miss was our local coffee stands. We wanted to create a place that helps support the community and provides great coffee. We had a trailer that helped us move, and we decided to renovate it, turning it into a drive-thru coffee stand.

Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Everyone has been so supportive and encouraging! Some struggles we had along the way were visibility and weather.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about BLOOM Coffee & Espresso?
We are passionate about coffee, community, and convenience. BLOOM Coffee strives to be a welcoming place where people can feel like they are coming home or meeting a friend for coffee when they pull up. We love coffee & spent a lot of time finding the best roast and creating our favorite recipes to share with everyone. At the stand, we prioritize supporting locals with locally roasted coffee & baked goods made in TN. We have two drive-thru locations, one downtown and one opening up in April near one of our local schools & neighborhoods. We are so excited that BLOOM can now go to local events & special occasions!
