Springfield coffee shop closing

Bloom's Coffee Bar & Bakery is shuttering after around a year in business.

Officials with the shop, 1109 E. Battlefield Road, announced the planned March 27 closure in a Facebook post yesterday.

"This last year has been one of many joys and accomplishments for our team. It has also been a year of an unfortunate and unforeseen accident to one of our owners that ultimately led to the difficult decision of closing down," the post reads.

Nikita Skorykh, who launched the concept with his wife, Elona, was injured in a May 2022 car wreck shortly after Bloom's Coffee Bar & Bakery opened for business, according to a blog post on the Assemblies of God's website. According to the post, Skorykh attends AG Theological Seminary.

Bloom's, located in a building in front of Andy B's near the Battlefield and National Avenue intersection, serves up a variety of coffee drinks, smoothies and shakes, as well as food such as tiramisu and sausage rolls, according to its website.
