Fresh flavors for whatever you’re in the mood for, BOMM in Kralingen has a variety of choices that are as enticing as they are exciting.
While biking back home after a day out at the lovely Kralingse Bos this weekend, nothing enticed my senses more than having a cocktail. I mean the timing couldn’t have been better. There I was with my partner knowing the sun would be setting in a few hours given the shorter autumn days and there I was thinking, ‘A cocktail sounds pretty good right now.’ I was on Sunday Funday mode.
Lucky for us, BOMM was close by - a place that we would have missed had it not been for its large glass storefront window showcasing its cozy and charming interior. We went in for a cocktail and left happy having discovered a place full of new things to try.
Just looking at their menu, this is the very thing that BOMM prides itself in. And rightfully so, the place not only offers seasonal specials but adds lip smacking touches to cafe and bistro classics. To some this may sound over the top, but unique and diverse is something they champion and something I was delighted to find was not excluded in their drinks. Upon taking that first sip it became apparent that standard is not what they are aiming for, but something better, something cozy, something inviting and something personal.
