I have been a Bare Blends fan since they opened their first location attached to the Hot Yoga Spot in Albany. I love trying all the new flavors and menu items as they are added. Truly nothing disappoints! Having so many locations around the capital district, I know I can always count on having access to delicious vegan food. My non-vegan friends and family have all made it a regular stop in their lives as well!
The new Stuyvesant is so cozy and is now offering a variety of sizes on both original and new menu items. I’m currently loving the avocado toasts with Eggy salad on top, their iced strawberry matcha lattes, and of course my all time favorite- Harry’s pb&j bowl! The staff is always friendly, willing to offer helpful suggestions, and efficient.
10/10 recommend checking out this woman-owned business with a focus on whole food, plant-based nutrition. No matter what you order, the house made items with locally sourced ingredients won’t let you down!

What a great location! The menu is also fantastic with the expanded items – I got the Caesar wrap and loved it. They also have some rarer ready to go items, like muffins, cookies, white chocolate matcha balls!!
I tried the cannoli muffin recently and omg it’s luxurious!! Not too sweet, but the cream core is next level. I need to try more of the muffins here! Please consider bringing them to other locations

Classic smoothie bar and health food style spot but all vegan and gluten free so their whole menu can be enjoyed by everyone! Their salads are so delicious I loved the fresh and bright flavors of the Thai salad, while the salads are very well priced, their juice is tasty but surprisingly expensive compared to their much larger smoothies so I’d definitely go for those next time

$18.90 for a bowl and a lemonade, it’s an extra $4.50 for granola on top, kinda ridiculous, cashier wasn’t that friendly

Delicious offerings and appears everything on the menu is very vegan friendly. Tried the Chai smoothie which was very yummy; mini garlic waffles with guacamole and balsamic side salad; Mini sweet cinnamon waffles with blueberries, almond butter, and side of chopped strawberries. Everything was delicious and well made. Also enjoyed all the compostable utensils and to go containers. The staff was pleasant, informative, and welcoming. Lots of space to sit down. Will check out their other locations to compare.

Bare blends is the definition of healthy. This was my first time here. This place reminds me NYC home away from home. The decorations are so nice here! There’s a huge menu to choose from. Juice, bowls, smoothie,salads etc. I ordered a smoothie bowl made with pineapple, mango and coconut water with multiple toppings. This was so refreshing after a warm day. I would definitely come here again. Btw if you’re vegan this place is for you too. Enjoy!

If you want food from here, I recommend pre ordering and not walking in, at least at noon. I ordered one sandwich with no modifications at 12:11 pm. I finally received it at 12:41. There were 4 people working their butts off. They were polite and friendly. It didn’t look that busy in terms of customers in the building.

Bare Blends is amazing I ordered the blueberry, oat milk and agave smoothie it is so creamy and delicious. The frosty texture and sweet berry flavor is a must have on a rainy or sunny day! Shout out to Genevieve she was such a great employee and kind!

I stayed away from this place for almost one year because of increasing prices with decrease in quality. On 4/7/24, I thought, let me give it another shot. The juices were reported made on 4/7/24. Watery!!! They tasted like pure ice was added.The smoothie bowls prices are up but less toppings; they tasted good because I added additional cashew cream which looked about a teaspoon. Presentation was good though. The worst part of the visit, my daughter and I were eating with about 2 spoons left to go and were rudely chased out by one of the young women (the team leader). The 3 young women were unpleasant as I could overhear them rudely discussing customers. People desperately want a good juice bar/vegan spot. Lawddd! No luck here. I have a Nama J2 and a Vitamix and can do better than this. Plan: No return.
