    Delicious 100% vegan food, reasonable prices, kind service. Their Lunch/breakfast menu was 5 type of meat substitutes/ vegan protein options to choose from, to which added rice and steamed cabbage was added. We tried the Curry chicken and Spare ribs, did not dissapoint. There was a chill outside in the back to eat. Ask for keys to use bathroom.

    I was visiting from Miami Florida. A Rasta that resides there in NYC enjoys this establishment. I've always wanted to try vegetarian/organic cuisine. I must say it was deliciously palate satisfying. The staff was kind and establishment was clean. Glad that my 1st experience was a great experience. I'll return when I visit again.

    The best pumpkin and plantain Patty's I've ever had. The backyard is so cute. And the drinks are delicious. The staff is so kind and warm. Go here if you want some delicious, clean, healthy, flavorful vegetarian and vegan options. Those patties are addicting.

    Got a delicious lentil patty from natural blend! Service was fast and there was lots of seating. The outdoor seating area in the back is amazing.

    All I can say is wow. I went there yesterday and got the lasagna. It was wonderful. Soy patties delicious. These patties make me forget the one with animal meat. Even my dad said he loved the food and plans on going back and making the place his new favorite restaurant. Bon appetite!!!

    This was my first time ordering from Natural Blend. The restaurant was very clean. The gentleman who served me was very polite. The food was AMAZING! the patty was soo good, I wish I had more. The rice and peas, cabbage, and vegan protein were all seasoned and flavorful. Everything was soo good, I'm gonna be a regular here. 11/10.

    One of my favorite vegan caribbean spots! I typically frequent the one on Nostrand but I recently got a patty and lentil soup from this location and as always—delicious! The patty is so flaky yet soft! I typically get the split pea. Lentil soup was delicious as well. I also got a juice, also yum.

    Some of the best vegan dishes I've ever had. The flavors, the AROMA. SMACKING. The freshness!!!! I'm in love. As soon as I opened my entree/Ital Stew+Chicken Curry (also gluten free) with side veggies, it looked and smelled amazing. I dont think my picture does it justice but the dish smelled so good I had to eat immediately. Each side dish was fresh and flavorful, and balanced out so well! The vegan chicken is juicy and so well seasoned. Looking forward to dining in next time. They have a beautiful patio in the back with alot of open sky. I got the large platter it was indeed LARGE. I'd say as a vegan, my belly and soul are both finally fed right. I wish this business so much success!

    Best spot in New York - peanut punch, patties, salt fish, curry dinners, smoothies on point. Baked goods too good. It’s all on point. I don’t review but owe it to them the feedback.

    So grateful I found this spot, I’m kinda an açaí bowl fanatic but not all are created equal. This is the best açaí I have had in Brooklyn so far! Flavorful, smooth, and delicious! The green juice was also amazing and I can’t wait to taste the vegan carrot cake later. Almost the entire menu is vegan so I’ll definitely be back to try the patties and more. Plus the staff was really kind which always make the food taste even better as I sit in their backyard tree covered oasis.

    Though not specifically listed on the menu everything is vegan. Had the "fish" pattie it was amazing. Also ordered the BBQ jerk "chicken" panini which was really good. Only complaint I was charged 3.50 for like 4 small potato wedges fries and the service is a little slow. Also did order a peanut butter smoothie that was good. They have an indoor and outside seating area which was very nice and clean.

  • 5/5 Linda L. 2 months ago on Google • 39 reviews New
    Amazing food and love that it's vegan! We've had the jerk chicken, spare ribs, and pepper steak - all delicious and flavorful. Callaloo patty was off the charts. Coffee was perfect. We enjoyed the seating area in the back- spacious and clean. Can't wait to come back!

    I discovered natural blend via a friend and have been constantly getting takeout for the last year and have yet to be disappointed. The food is favorable, the smoothies are perfectly blended, the patties are incredibly yummy, the service is always great and pricing is reasonable. This place hits all the notes! Definitely one to check out and or support.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey M. 9 months ago on Google
    I LOVE this place. I am not in the area often but whenever I go to the Brooklyn Museum I stop in here. I am in love with their coconut bread/cake. So delicious. They are very friendly here too. Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Lavicrep R. 2 years ago on Google
    They'll always get 5 stars from me. I love everything. If I ever go vegan or vegetarian, it's because of Natural Blends

  • 4/5 Kwēn D. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is amazing! I’ve tried almost everything on the menu. My personal faves are the Ribs and curry chikn. My only concern is that sometimes the lo mien is sour, as if they had it sitting out all night and tried to reheat it in the morning. That’s happened twice so now I just get the peas and rice with whatever protein I decide on for the day. Also, they’re smoothies are amazing and fresh just in case you need something quick and on the go!

  • 5/5 erin l. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a cute place and the staff was so friendly and accomodating! I will definitely be back for more food, their smoothies are made so perfectly and left me feeling the utmost refreshed and ready for my day! You can tell they really put the love in what they do and i appreciate it so much. Definitely recommend!!

    Great vegan meal. First time having curry chicken since I stopped eating animals and this meal was vegan so it was definitely an experience! Thank you for the great vegan meal welcome to brooklyn! @iamspyda

  • 2/5 tawanna m. 1 year ago on Google
    This location is okay. The Pattie’s are great but the curry chicken has no favoring at all. I had the lunch meal with the brown rice and pea and side of cabbage. The meal was eatable but I did not enjoy it one bit. It’s a hit or miss with these vegan restaurant. The best place for vegan curry chicken is in QUEENS.

  • 5/5 S. R. H. 1 year ago on Google
    Vegan restaurant in the heart of Brooklyn near the Brooklyn museum. I had the pumpkin patty. Absolutely delicious! There's a cute sitting area in the back.

  • 5/5 Randy T. 1 year ago on Google
    Came in tonight for the first time and oh my goodness the food was delicious. Good vibes, customer service, and it's a vegan restaurant! I give many thanks for the opportunity to have access to types of food like this. What a gem in our community! 🙏

  • 5/5 Harvenna F. 1 year ago on Google
    I go in there on my lunch break all the time! The staff is wonderful! And always doing a great job attending to their customers. The food , drinks and smoothies are yummy! Give it up for " Family" because that's the vibe you get when you're in there. 💫

    Welcoming smiles in this Petit West Indian vegetarian walk in take out restaurant. Smoothies with your multitude of choices and they ask you what base of milk coconut, almond, oat ... The Soups are fresh and they even have spelt dumpling 🥟 ! ISeamoss is delish! I love the Patties for the children Lentil, pumpkin, Split pea, and kale 🥬 and Callao! They have Vegan ice cream and pastries! You hear 👂🏾 nice reggae vibes when you are there. as well Breakfast Lunch and Dinner! 🖤🖤🖤

  • 5/5 Abel G. 9 months ago on Google
    Jerk plantain pocket and peanut power punch really hit the spot! Overall, a uniquely flavorful vegan spot with reasonable prices and great staff!

  • 3/5 Erik F. 2 years ago on Google
    The food itself is well-made and delicious, you just don’t get very much. For nearly $18 for a curry dish I would expect less rice, more curry. The container was 80% rice! When my partner and I tried to split it we realized it was basically a massive bed of rice with a small ladle’s worth of curry and salad sitting on top. And no, it wasn’t because the rice soaked up the curry. I’m no stranger to how curry works. It just wasn’t there! Call it a rice dish with a side of curry!

  • 5/5 marcel c. 4 years ago on Google
    Patties are banging. Customer service is great. A nice hidden gem. Please do yourself a favor and go check it out. They also sell marvelous fresh juices and food😋😋

    Excellent food. Fresh and bursting with flavor. I didn’t even realize this was a vegan place until I took my first few bites. It was so damn good! Portions are plentiful and prices are great. My smoothie was excellent also. So lucky to live close to this place.

  • 4/5 Nick T. 3 years ago on Google
    Tasty food, large portions. Really wanted to try the breadfruit with akee, would be cool if there was a vegan option of that, with a vegan protein maybe to replace the fish. There was a vegan lunches section, but none of the sides or breakfast items had a vegan label on them so a I wasn't sure what else was vegan. I got the small sized curry chicken with cabbage which seemee fairly healthy, and it was a meal for sure. Got a callaloo vegan patty (bomb), and banana nut bread. Also tried the blueberry muffin, which was dry and just okay, and the bread pudding, which was good.

  • 5/5 Sydney M. 4 months ago on Google
    Natural Blend has the best cold brew bang-for-your-buck around! So good! I love their smoothies, patties and all the vegan treats you can order. Love having this place in the neighborhood!

  • 4/5 Ronald G. 4 years ago on Google
    Since I found this place, I've been in love with their healthy awesome selection of food. Ive been working in the service industry for 20 years and there was something that didn't sit too well with me about some members of the staff. Make no mistake, their service is great but every time I tip, no one ever bothers to say a simple Thank You. I've always gone above and beyond in my job to earn my tips and I always say Thanks. Not quite sure of why that response seems foreign to them. Nevertheless, I will continue to tip and showing patronage to this great place.

  • 5/5 T Shontel H. 3 years ago on Google
    One of my fave vegan spots. Their sorrel and sea moss is great. I always stop for a visit when in Brooklyn.

  • 5/5 Danna D. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this place, good Carribean flavored vegan dishes. And the best patties ever....vegan or not! (I eat meat and still love this place)

  • 5/5 Kyasia B. 2 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    My partner told me to try the “pepper steak with rice and peas & cabbage” and I must say this was DELICIOUS!!!! I’m still shocked at how it really wasn’t steak but the flavor was just immaculate! I also tried the Mac and Cheese which will take me time to get used to but it wasn’t bad at all. (I’m just a big lover of extra sharp cheddar cheese😂) Overall I definitely enjoyed it and this meal actually gave me motivation to begin trying to give up red meat! Next time go back I want to try the patties (all of them)! Thank you for the motivation & scrumptious food!

    The absolute best vegan takeout spot in Brooklyn. They always make you feel like family when you stop by. They are generally always packed with people, which is a testament to how good their food is.

    As I’m saying good bye to NY for a bit, obviously have to crush all the vegan spots on my way out. Natural Blend is one of my favorite spots in Brooklyn. The Lentil and Pumpkin Patties, the Citrus Ribs, The Sea Moss Shake, and obviously a few desserts. Really Something special.
