About Us
Our Land Acknowledgement
Brew+Bloom acknowledges the land in which we reside on is Treaty Six Territory. We would like to thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose ancestors’ footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw, Dene, Anishinaabe, Nakota Isga, and Niitsitapi peoples.
Who Are We?
Located in the heart of downtown Edmonton, Brew+Bloom is an award-winning women-led business redefining the dining experience with flowers. We incorporate florals in all aspects of our business from the interiors of our restaurant right down to the food and drinks. Our menu is filled with beautiful, interactive, globally-inspired items because we believe good food can be playful and delicious.
Sam - Founder & Creative Director
Meet our founder and creative director, Sam. Sam is an event planner with almost a decade of experience in the industry. She has organized events of all sizes and created beautiful and memorable experiences for her clients. Although she was passionate about event planning, she was always saddened by the idea that it was all temporary. At the end of each night, the magic and beauty of her work had to be taken down. Driven by her desire to create permanent beautiful spaces for all to enjoy, she used her creative nature and keen eye for detail to create Brew + Bloom as a place people could visit time and time again. Fun fact: Did you know Sam designed and produced all of our floral installations with the help of our team? During her time as an event planner, she also became experienced in floral design!
ANN - OPERATIONS
Meet Ann, our Operations Manager, joining the Brew + Bloom family with enthusiasm and expertise! Since February, she has been part of our team, and we’re delighted to have her on board. We asked Ann what she loves most about Brew + Bloom, and she is absolutely obsessed with our decor. When she’s is not here with us, you can find her exploring new recipes or catching up with the latest fashion trend!
Sha - Events Manager & General Manager
Meet Sha, our passionate Events Manager & General Manager. There are many reasons why Sha enjoys working at Brew+Bloom, but it would be Brew+Bloom's playful and feminine take on food and dining that drew him to his current role. Sha loves the culture here within the company, and working here has provided him with an opportunity to utilize a different skill set than what he had been used to in his previous roles. A fun fact about Sha is that he is a huge Oilers fan and he hopes the team will bring home the cup one day soon! He also enjoys playing soccer recreationally.
Parker - Head Chef Southside
Meet Parker, our charming Head Chef joined our team in late April 2022. He feels that Brew & Bloom has provided him with a unique opportunity to really lean into his personal style of cooking because of the eclectic mix of different cuisines with an emphasis on whimsical and nostalgic. Parker believes it gives him the chance to always be creating something new and fun for our customers while constantly push himself to improve his skills. When he isn't at work, you can find him tucked away with a great book. He will typically read around 20+ books a year ranging from cookbooks, and fantasy to comic books and manga.

They are so adorable; we love them too! When Dione is not working hard creating beautiful dishes, she will be spotted with her step kids and 3 of her adorable dogs.

If she isn't working on developing our next drink, you can usually find her flexing her skills in the kitchen at home because of her deep love of cooking and baking.
