Husband went in the other day for a mobile order and had to wait 30 minutes passed when it showed done and guests inside were ordering and getting items while he was there. Today, I got the breakfast bagel, which I've had multiple times and they put something different on there without any warning and flavor is not great, and my drink was to have cold foam which was non existent (I just had a cold foam drink made well the other day from them so I know what it's supposed to look like). Just very inconsistent.

Again, just milk with a slight hint of the syrup. I always like to try seasonal drinks but now that I'm old, I think I'm just gonna get regular coffee in the future. I couldn't tell you what the coffee tasted like at all. Service was fine, I read a lot of negative reviews but my barista was very nice and friendly. It definitely looked like a great place to relax at, there were quite a few tables and they were all filled. We did not get any of the baked goods; it all looked appetizing though. Next time I'm here, I'll get a cold brew.

I have yet to find anything that was even close to being mediocre in flavor. Everything is delicious. All fresh and clean foods made and served by the amazing owner, Jess. I've heard that a lot of smoothie type restaurants are MLM and/or franchise based; Blend is NOT and is a true small business. Absolutely love this place and so glad I took the chance on something new and different.

The space is large with plenty of seating, and they have a wonderful food menu with bagel sandwiches and delicious potatoes. The employee taking our order was patient and polite. I got the Parkside sandwich (bacon, egg, pesto, cheese), and Nate got a Thanksgiving sandwich special. I also got an oat milk latte. They have a pastry case full of pastries and doughnuts so I'd love to try those next time. It was nice to sit and enjoy our breakfast and I loved the latte - it was one of the best I've had recently, very creamy and smooth. The parkside bagel was quite greasy, but the flavors were so savory and yummy. I loved the pesto and it had a ton of crispy bacon. I saved half for later and it was still good heated up the next day. We got a side of the curry potatoes with some bang bang sauce to dip - these were so good! Crispy on the outside and soft inside, with lots of great curry flavor. They were pretty salty but I really loved them. This is an inclusive and welcoming space and I hope they continue to do well!
