Not Just Coffee: Meet the Florist Making Casaroma Cafe Bloom.

Not Just Coffee: Meet the Florist Making Casaroma Cafe Bloom.

Walk into Casaroma Cafe on any given day and you'll notice something beautiful sitting right alongside your coffee, fresh flowers. That's not an accident. That's Brittney, the founder of Petals & Bloom, and the story behind those blooms is exactly the kind of community magic we live for.

Two Local Businesses. One Shared Vision.

When we first connected with Brittney and Petals & Bloom, it felt like a natural fit, two New Rochelle businesses that both believe in showing up for our community. The partnership is simple: Petals & Bloom brings fresh flowers into Casaroma Cafe, keeping our space vibrant and alive, and we help promote her business to everyone who walks through our doors. It's a win for us, a win for Brittney, and honestly? It's the biggest win for our customers and our community.

This is exactly what collaboration looks like when it's done right.

Meet Brittney, Founder of Petals & Bloom

Brittney isn't just a florist, she's a community builder with a mission. In her own words, her goal is simple: to spread happiness. Because in her eyes, everyone deserves flowers.

That philosophy hits different when you see it in action. Petals & Bloom isn't just about beautiful arrangements, it's about creating moments of joy, brightening someone's day, and reminding people that the little things matter. And the fact that she chose to partner with a local Dominican coffee shop in New Rochelle to do that? That tells you everything you need to know about who Brittney is.

What Community Means to Brittney

We sat down with Brittney and asked her what community really means to her. Her answer? Sticking together. Supporting each other. Growing together.

That's not just a tagline for Petals & Bloom, it's how she operates. She's not a big-box florist trying to scale. She's a New Rochelle local, rooted in this city, invested in the people here, and building something that gives back as much as it grows. Sound familiar? That's the same energy we pour into Casaroma every single day.

Why Fresh Flowers Matter at a Coffee Shop

You might wonder why a Dominican coffee shop in Westchester cares so much about having fresh flowers on display. For us, it comes back to our three pillars: Culture, Community, and Collaboration.

Culture: Flowers have always been part of how people celebrate, mourn, and connect. Having them present in our space adds a layer of warmth and intention that transforms a coffee shop into a gathering place.

Community: Every bouquet from Petals & Bloom is a small reminder that our cafe is invested in more than just serving great coffee. We're invested in making this a space that feels alive, welcoming, and cared for.

Collaboration: The partnership with Brittney is a living example of what happens when two local businesses stop competing and start building together. We both grow. Our customers benefit. New Rochelle gets stronger.
