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!​​​​​​​​

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.

Say hello to Dione, our new Head Chef at our Downtown location! Dione recently joined our team in June, and we are super excited to see her work her magic in the kitchen! We asked Dione what she loves most about working at Brew + Bloom, and she said her favourite part is getting to see little girls come in for their princess parties. 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.

Meet Kayla, our beloved bar manager! Kayla has been an integral part of our team since June 2021. She is incredibly kind and exceptionally knowledgeable with over 20 years of working in the service and hospitality industry. What drew her to her current role is her love for coffee which she developed from a young age from working at her family's cafe. Kayla is a passionate soul who loves creating unique and delicious drinks for all to enjoy. 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.

Meet Darren, our new Assistant General Manager, who came aboard in March 2024. We caught up with him to see how he’s finding his time with us so far, and he shared, “It’s a refreshing change of pace compared to most restaurants. The evening ambiance with the lighting is simply fantastic!” You may not have guessed it, but Darren is a big nerd at heart with a passion for anime and computers! We’re thrilled to welcome Darren to our team; his upbeat and friendly attitude has been a great addition to our team!
