    I love this place! There’s many option to choose from if you have food allergies. They have great service. The space has a lot of charm and warm with its high ceiling and brick accented walls. The food is fresh and delicious. The best place in Brooklyn for juices! My favorite lunch spot.

    I've had their smoothie before, but it was my first time going in person. Quaint little spot, friendly staff and great food. I got the Swai sandwich, a smoothie, and a detox juice. Loved them all.

    During our NY trip, we stopped here for breakfast and absolutely loved it! The fruit juices are simply delicious. The food is tasty and you can feel it’s made with love. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. This cafe would definitely be my favourite spot if I lived here! Thank you guys ans hopefully I’ll be back!

    Great, friendly service! I got the Vanderbilt Veggie burger and was pretty pleased with it - overall pretty tasty, burger patty was good with turmeric vibe spices, and the chipotle sauce was really good. The pickled veggies were a nice twist, although if you are picky about added sugar they are definitely on the the sweet side- which could be a nice touch if that’s your preference. I got a hot chai latte and that was really good too, and they made mine from a tea bag with steamed oat milk and a dash of maple syrup, like I ordered. Their chai tea mix is really good, and I really liked the reusable tea bags that they use - made me want to order some for myself. I sampled one of their fruity-banana-nut buttery smoothies and while I can’t remember what it was called, I thought it was wonderful and would imagine from that most of their smoothies are too. Wifi and seating was good for staying for a few hours and working/studying, but it was a little drafty inside so you might notice that on cold days. Overall a cozy little spot, would maybe eat the food again but will definitely be back to try more of the drinks!

    Refreshing!!! I need to try something new, but my go to that NEVER fails is the salmon salad, no cranberry no apples, extra chipotle sauce. Great spot to sit, do work, relax and talk. A great vibe of energy from the staff and others. I will be back. I haven't had to pleasure of trying a smoothie yet... maybe next time. Went back.. had the salmon sandwich/ burger, jerk plantain pattie, salmon patty, turkey pastrami and sautéed spinach. They have a nee side spot worh coconut drinks! Fresh coconut they cut in front of you!!

    The smoothie was delicious and the breakfast sandwich had fresh ingredients. Only issue was the wait time..which is expected with its popularity.

    I was simply working nearby and stumbled upon Blend... what a treat! Not only did I find the owner Ralph hanging out and being awesome. The folks in the shop are friendly. In addition, the coffee is top notch, and the food is creative. What more can you ask for?

    Lovely cafe with very personable staff, and personally I love their music selection. The vegan falafel sandwich is so delicious and fresh, I assume the non vegan options are just as good. It's a great place to get some work done too as long as you don't mind the slightly busy atmosphere

    I was visiting my sister in Brooklyn and while she was working, I walked over to this spot which was just a few blocks away. Loved it. I was visiting for just the weekend but I went there 3 times! I got the salmon burger each time except for the third time and I definitely regret NOT getting it. The salmon was seasoned super well and not overcooked. Overall great flavors in the sandwich but the bread was what really stood out to me. So. Damn. Good. I also got an iced latte with oat milk and it was perfect each time. Don't miss out, check out this spot.

    BKLYN Blend serves the most, delicious and fresh juices and smoothies with both smile and heart. Not just a great business for the locals, BKLYN Blend knocks it of the park for large off-site groups as well. Always a reliable reset and a refresh. Thank you.

    a love letter to BKLYN blend: first off a HUGE shoutout to our girl Sanna!!! an absolute sweetheart who made our nyc trip. we first went here because we wanted a breakfast spot near our airbnb. we ordered the willoughby spinach waffles, franklin ave frittata, and the marine park shake (because it had soursop in it, a super unique ingredient most places don't carry). the wait was quite long because the place was popping with customers, we could tell they had a lot of returning customers. Sanna came with our food and apologized about the wait even though they seem short staffed and super busy (i hope more staff can be hired to help out the workers here because I feel bad they are working non stop and can't even pick up the phone when it's ringing). the food itself was absolutely delicious and unique; the spinach waffles, tumeric toast, and soursop, phenomenal! it was so wonderful that we knew we had to come back so we did a couple of days later. this time, we ordered breakfast to go which included the smoked salmon and pumpkin patties, something we noticed many locals ordering so we wanted to try it for ourselves. we also ordered the bk nets shake reg size. we talked to Sanna this time letting her know our trip was ending but we had to came back cause the food was so good and her being the sweetheart she is, gave us her favorite lentil patty to try and up sized our drink without letting us know. that was so sweet of her and she did not have to do that!!! and girl, let me say that the shake was great and the patties were the BEST patties we've EVER had! again, they have super unique fillings (kale, ackee, Caribbean jerk as well). who knew that patties would be the nyc food that we enjoyed the most! so thank you again Sanna and sorry we couldn't come back and say bye to you like we said, we were planning to but you guys weren't open before 9am on the day of our flight. you made our experience in nyc all the better! :) <3

    I had the Park Slope Smoked Salmon Salad & ordered a smoothie for later. Both were absolutely delicious! The Salad was definitely made with care, salmon was cooked perfect to my liking (well done) & customer service was great. Disclaimer: There was way too much in and out by the 2nd door from staff. I froze most of my stay, I wouldn’t recommend. They should also rearrange if possible…

  • 5/5 Dorcas G. 6 months ago on Google
    Had a kale shrimp salad, and my husband had the salmon salad... They were both great! The service was excellent, and most importantly, the place was clean. Nice little place for a quick healthy bite. Would surely eat there again!

  • 5/5 Vincenzo H. 6 months ago on Google
    I don't live in the neighborhood but every so often one of my regular clients hits me up and BKLYN Blend happened to be nearby so I am very glad I stopped in. Client facing staff is beyond professional and affable. The young woman at the counter today deftly handled an unfortunate situation where a man was being less the charitable and kind to his girlfriend. The young man working the smoothie bar was even asked by who appeared to be a regular what the 'usual' fruit he puts in her smoothie was and the chef cooly came out to ensure service was running smoothly. Looking around I was thinking everyone employed here seemed not only happy to be at work, but also overqualified. That's a sign of a great team and in turn a great boss. The place is very well kept, clean and welcoming with lots of plants, comfortable seating and a decent bar area. You can tell the owners care about aesthetics and their patron's comfort. It's in a great corner spot and both gets a lot of light but provides shade in certain parts of the cafe. If you go, do yourself a favor and try the Brooklyn Ru-blend and the Kyoto Cherry Rose Tea with a splash of milk. The sandwich came out warm, crunchy and not as oily as most Ruben's do, with a satisfying chew and a fragrant hint of spices, likely from the turmeric bread. The tea was smooth, silky and surprisingly sweet, though that could have been the lactose, and was very satisfying. Some of the reviews mentioned the wait time and would say that good things are worth waiting for. My only regret is I cannot come back here as often as I'd like to try the rest of the delicious items on the menu. I've got my eyes on that Salmon pattie and the Brownsville Nut BKLYN Blend is a great example of when passion meets entrepreneurship and is exactly the kind of business that will get passed down for many generations.

    This restaurant was a cool gem that we just so happened to stumble upon. It’s black-owned. We got to meet the owner, Sean, who was super friendly and very hospitable with making sure we sampled a few shakes and smoothies before actually purchasing them. I had the avocado turmeric toast with shrimp that was absolutely amazing and ordered a golden chai latte that was delicious. My partner had the smoothie “pop’s special” which was also intriguing to my taste buds. I highly recommend this place!! Great atmosphere and friendly service. It gets quite busy and everything is made fresh so it make take a little time but that is alright with me. Oh I left one important tidbit of information out… I thought it was cool that each item on the menu was named after a landmark in Brooklyn

    Great place to get work done. It’s very lively but tight seating indoors. There’s outdoor seating available and free WiFi is a plus

  • 5/5 Marion 9 months ago on Google
    Yummy green smoothie and plantain patties that are made in-house. Service was swift for take out orders. It may be too hot for the summer as they only have fans indoors. Interiors are well-designed.

  • 5/5 Samantha E. 8 months ago on Google
    My only complaint would be about the seating and as it’s kinda limited and a lot of laptop people not budging. Otherwise I loved my smoothie and food. My salmon sandwich exceeded my expectations. Very friendly and quick moving staff for the moments it did get very busy. I think the owner was also helping out and they seemed warm and welcoming. Definitely will be back to try something else!

  • 5/5 Suraj B. 10 months ago on Google
    Awesome place with awesome food. Visited with my family for the first time and the atmosphere is really nice. Cool staff, cool music, and great food. Will definitely be back again in the future. The staff is so nice and the place is beautiful. If you hesitate to go there, don't, it's worth every penny!

  • 3/5 Keyani C. 1 year ago on Google
    First Time at this location was very mid!! Employees were more focused on talking to each other instead of running the business. The smoothie I purchased was very watered down compared to other ones i’ve had & I think it was reused & re-blended from a smoothie which was already made. Never again 👎🏽

    Amazing! Quality and selection is my favorite. Everything is freshly made, juices and shakes freshly organic made. Not only is everything blackity black but customer service is always immaculate. My home girl Olivia knows I’m a regular and she’s just amazing.

    I have been working from home for about two years now and I'm disappointed that I didn't visit Brooklyn Blend sooner. I walked past the store numerous times but never stopped in. I'm really happy that I had the opportunity to work from the store and enjoy an amazing smoothie. The smoothies, drinks and dishes are named after main streets and neighborhoods in Brooklyn, which is a nice touch! I ordered the Church Ave smoothie and it was so yummy. The smoothie was made with oats, bananas, spices and almond milk. If you're looking for a quiet cafe to study, enjoy a healthy bite, bomb smoothies, great service and free Wifi, this is the place to be! They also have a location in East New York. Spread love the Brooklyn way and visit Brooklyn Blend.

    So I've always wanted to try this place out for many reasons. (1) just to experience the outside dinning. (2) food. Always passing by, but was too nervous. Lol. Now I've actually came. Woohoo !! But with my sister.... Overall it was an okay experience. I ordered the park slope Salmon Sandwich with Bed-Stuy beet. And my sister ordered Saratoga Shrimp salad, no drink. And my sandwich was bad to be honest like I was looking at the reviews to get a better feel of the place and some said it was good but it's bland no flavor just taste like fish and was probably frozen. My original thought was for the salmon salad but didn't get it. Got the sandwich instead ^ I don't know but it had some white stuff on the back like dried up milk. And yes I know how fish is and it wasn't fresh. It wasn't nice and juicy with it's tenderness. Most likely bad ! And the employer suggested that if I got it you know not well done it was not gonna be dry. But poor me it's still bad. My drink is amazing like it's a 10 but the sandwich is like a 4-5. The fries is a 3 could be more seasoned, flavorful and less soggy and more crispy. My sister salad is a 10. It was and is just right. I'll be coming back for juices and salads maybe try out more thing's. Who knows?! Also threw the rest out that you see in the photo minus the drink and salad. Just didn't want it. Why didn't I get back my money? Well cause I'm not one to make the extra mile to fuss. Only when I feel it's needed. I like to have my experience and go.

    Tried the smoothies during woodstacks 10th anniversary party and it was amazing! Kids loved it. Will try when in the neighborhood.

  • 5/5 Lily 2 years ago on Google
    The staff were very welcoming and helpful! My salad had a good ratio of ingredients. We got takeout but I could see this being a really nice place to do work outside (if they let you use their wifi!) and have a lunch and coffee. I’ll definitely recommend this as a healthy, quality spot in the neighborhood. Also, if management reads this, if you make baseball caps, I would definitely buy one!

  • 5/5 Nicole J. 2 years ago on Google
    This smoothie was just what I needed on this hot summer day. Meet eastern parkway express, it includes passion fruit, pineapple, mango, passion fruit nectar and agave. Hmm so delicious

  • 5/5 Edwin F. 3 years ago on Google
    The "something poke" hot Salmon sandwich with Chipotle cream inside, is to die for. Had this 3 Years ago when I first visited Brooklyn and it's better than I remembered. Add their hot sauce. Has a great kick to it! Definitely different to this Cali kid who loves Salsa or hot sauce on his foods.

  • 5/5 Ayim J. 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    When visiting my friends in this area, I love coming here for the Canarsie cranberry! I also love that they offer sweet potato fries and the employees here are all so friendly. Mainly the woman in the front who made us rose chai shots just to try! Definitely recommend!! My friend got the b44 and it also was so good!!
