A…read morelittle thicker than I look for consistency but good enough I had 3 of them during the week I was in town. I also tried their vanilla almond and PB overnight oats. Both good. The PB one is a little sweet for me, so the container lasted 5 days just having a little each day. I also tried the chickpea mash, cookie dough and caveman balls. They're all vegan and GF. It would be nice if there were two smoothie sizes. I don't think the price was bad. It was on point with my home area (CO). All in all, I think it's a great option in this area if you're seeking this type of food.

Please DO NOT go here if you have an allergy!!!…read more I visited, ordering something I have had before and letting them know of my nut allergy, asking for precautions. The cashier was nice but I literally went into full anaphylaxis 5 minutes after eating it and had to go to the hospital. They put cashew butter in it, which I didn't order and am deathly allergic to. I came back and let them know and got a cash refund, but ambulance and hospital bills are not $20. This occurrence is especially wrong due to the business literally having allergy policies- which I trusted.

Healthy Lunch Find in Downtown Albany! During my lunch…read morestroll through downtown Albany looking for something healthy, a coworker and I stumbled across Blend and Brew on State Street. To my surprise, both the Energizer and Lunch smoothies were delicious! They had the perfect creamy consistency--not too thick and not watery--and were packed with flavor. I ordered the Energizer in a medium and could really taste the mango, apple, and lime. It was so good that I immediately wished I had ordered a large! They also offer pre-made sandwiches, fruit bowls, and wraps, making it a great grab-and-go lunch option. Since it's a little off the main path, the line was short and service was quick, even during the busy lunch rush. If you're looking for a fresh, healthy lunch option downtown, this spot is definitely worth checking out! Yelp Rating: 4.5/5 Would I return? Absolutely--for a large Energizer next time!

Everything I have gotten is delicious. Fresh fruit, granola,, you can add all kinds of stuff. You can build your own, you can get their craft specials. I am definitely eyeballing that pineapple coconut concoction available for the summer. I'm still learning about all the combinations but this place is so good. I could eat here every day. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with the abundance of delicious choices. I got a smoothie last week. I got a smoothie bowl this week. It had fresh strawberries fresh pineapple, walnuts, little dark chocolate drops, chocolate protein with almond milk. The base tastes like ice cream. I feel like I'm being bad but I'm not. Healthy eating is fun. I order on their app. It's easy and you earn points. They also have healthy treats for dogs that you can purchase.

This is probably my favorite bare location, the girls working there are so nice and friendly and my bowls have always come out so delicious! It's also never crowded which is really nice just because the space is a bit smaller than the other locations I've been to. Overall I'm a big bare blends fan and highly recommend anyone with a craving for a smoothie bowl to stop by.

They offer a good variety of healthy smoothies including fruit blends, vegan, energy and immune boosts and acai bowls. I ordered a small Gladiator Cold Brew smoothie ($6.99 plus tax) which was made to order quickly and had a blend of protein, bananas, cold brew, ice, and milk, blended together. This smoothie was cold, sweet and had the coffee flavor I needed on a hot and humid day outside. They also do mobile orders with the pickup counter in the front. The smoothies and bowls are made ahead of time for those orders and kept cool in a glass cooler until the customer or delivery driver comes in to pickup.

Tip in advance or be punished!!!…read more I paid with a card, no pre-tip. The girl behind the counter pulled my receipt, looked at it, looked at me, and the mood turned dark. She became agitated; slamming ingredients around at the blender, yelling to the other girl in the back. I should have cancelled and left right then and there. Store was dead -- one couple waiting at the pickup end, nobody in line. She wasn't slammed. Five, ten minutes go by. She hands the couple their order, makes another smoothie in a blender and sets it on the far end of the pickup counter AWAY from me without a word or a glance my way. It's bright red. I ordered strawberry-banana-blueberry. This had no blue in it anywhere. I figured it wasn't mine. Another five or ten minutes pass. She's glancing at me from afar now and then. Still no blue smoothie shows up. Finally I walk back down and ask about it. She tells me the red one from ten minutes ago was mine. I realize she had let me stand there waiting as retaliation for not tipping upfront. Dirty trick... Here's the part that gets me: I tip in cash, at the end, based on how the service goes. That's the whole point of tipping. But the second she saw no tip on the card screen, she'd already assumed how this was going to go and fulfilled her own prophecy. Places need to stop showing employees who tipped in advance and who didn't. I've watched this same thing happen at Five Guys -- tip upfront or face slower service and vaguely deniable hassles like mine. Never going back to this one.
