Are you ready to be transported to a floral oasis where the coffee is hot and the chocolates are sweet? Of course you are! Welcome to Blumin Florist and Espresso Bar – a stunning boutique in the heart of Sydney’s CBD that specialises in crafting bespoke bouquets of fresh blooms.
There is an incredible selection of flowers to choose from – we’re talking roses from the best international growers (which are huge and last up to ten days after purchase) and natives (like king proteas and banksias) from local farms right across Australia. And every bunch is carefully checked to ensure they are fresh and up to standard.
Blumin is also home to an enormous walk-in cool room – the first of its kind in the country. It features humidity and temperature control settings that allow the florists to maintain the perfect environment for the flowers to stay fresher for longer, even when you take them home.
Prices for the bouquets on display start at $70, but you can also purchase single flowers or the talented team of floral artists can whip you up something special that is tailored to your budget – there is no minimum requirement and you can pick and choose from the huge variety of blooms available. Blumin also do wedding and corporate flowers, or you can arrange a subscription that ensures you have a fresh delivery to your door weekly, monthly or at a personalised frequency.
Blumin’s newest bouquet collection is a special one. It combines a modern colour palette with fun textural elements – think fresh-cut flowers blended with preserved ones. And each bouquet has a super playful name, like Watermelon Whip, Lady Gaga and Flamingo.
But beautiful blooms aren’t the only thing you can get here. At the on-site café you can enjoy a locally roasted coffee served in a compostable cup, with a delicious cake, pastry or croissant. Hand-crafted chocolates by Portuguese chef João Cadete (who owns One More Chocolate in Petersham) are also available to purchase, as are a selection of gorgeous hand-blown vases made in the Netherlands.
But best of all, you’ll even receive a free coffee if you’re waiting for your bouquet to be made – what’s not to love about that?!
