Blend Smoothie and Salad Bar - Monroe - Salad Near Me - Monroe, New York

This was my first time at Blend. I went to the Monroe location. As soon as I walked in I was greeted pleasantly. I had a pretty large order and they got it done quickly! I loved the salad I got it was delicious! It was recommended that I try the Dubai chocolate bowl as well (I think it was the manager I spoke to- very kind and helpful young man) I ordered a few other salads for the company I was having and they were all very satisfied with their food! The overall experience was very warm and inviting and anytime I'm in the area I plan to go back! Very nice place and nice people! read more

We have been here on two occasions and on both the orders were lack luster. Today the salad had a pool of water at the bottom. The Nutella bowl was a drizzle on top. Not sure why it's called a Nutella bowl when the serving is micro. First time we opted for the chipotle salad with extra chicken. The salad with extra chicken and the one without extra chicken looked exactly the same. They didn't even bother to add anything. The New Windsor location has better staffing and orders were fine. Consider training the employees at the Monroe location or at the very least hire people that will do the job correctly. From the looks of it, there is plenty of time to have an accurate order. read more

Absolute TRASH!! I don't know why I keep giving them another shot. First time I found 3 hairs in one salad (could have been more but I stopped eating it at that point) Today I found plastic in my smoothie. Gave them another shot because I didn't think you could mess up a smoothie... but I was wrong. Not to mention the Acai bowls are so overpriced and soo small. Its all fruit barely any acai mix underneath. Such a rip off. Workers are so slow (I gave them the benefit of the doubt in the beginning because they were new and had just opened) but 3 years later and they're still slow as molasses. Management or owners (who ever runs the place) are rude as well. I reached out to the owner via email after the hairs in the salad in 2020, (with pictures to prove) and never heard back. Typical. Such had hygiene in that place and slow service. Horrific customer service, do not give them your business. I am totally grossed out and will never return and none of my friends or family will either. read more

Love that they have sea moss gel! Smoothie was great. As was the açaí bowl I had when I stopped in for breakfast. Juice cleanse packages also available at a reasonable price. Will definitely come back. read more

Has friendly service! The smoothies are always made with fresh fruits and veggies. Just a cute little place

This place came highly recommended for salads and smoothies. They have a huge menu with salads, smoothies, quesadillas, grain bowls, wraps and much more. I chose to create my salad because I couldn't decide. I got the romaine lettuce, black olives, carrots, spicy garlic chick peas, black beans, corn and raspberry balsamic dressing. This salad was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be going back today! They have just about every topping you can think of..and two options for salads.. a 4 topping for $6.99 or 7 toppings for $1 more. This is a great spot for vegans or for anyone who just wants a healthy salad. One last thing to mention... the salad was huge..big bowl filled to the top..and worth every penny. read more

Blend Smoothie and Salad Bar - Monroe - Protein spinach shake. - Salad Near Me - Monroe, New York

I really wanted to support this place as I heard it opened up during Covid earlier this year. It's located in a strip mall next door to a CVS I believe and a McDonald's. When I first entered the store the staff seemed very friendly as multiple people greeted me at once and asked me if they could help. I had ordered a smoothie and a tuna melt. Unfortunately the smoothie did not meet my expectations as I usually prefer more milky or creamy base and this one tasted like watery. Maybe they used to much ice? As for the tuna melt it tasted fine and had an OK amount of tuna. However I felt like the prices were a little bit too high, especially for the quality and the location. I heard that there is another location in New Windsor. Perhaps I will also check out that location soon. read more

Way better than the Middletown location. The store is clean & organized. very good service.

I went yesterday for a chicken salad w several toppings and dressing. Come home and they forget the dressing. i go back and as i'm driving away I realized that they forgot the chicken as well. I decide to go back today for the same salad, different staff and as i'm leaving, i realized that they forgot the chicken again. That place is understaffed and no one knows what they're doing. I love this place. convenient and close to home. But C'mon. get it together. read more

We went here for a quick smoothie and we were very disappointed with the quality of the product. Not to mention, the cutting boards at this store was not hygienically clean and COVID friendly. Our Energy Booster smoothie had apples that were turning brown and all we taste was pineapples and no ginger taste even though we asked to add it. The outside tables were dirty. read more

You're staff borders on incompetent and your standards, like fruit chunks in your smoothies, have sunk to the bottom. Likewise, you're called Blend, but yet, every shake and smoothie I've gotten there in the past couple of years is lumpy and clogs the straw. do better, or at least the bar minimum it takes to make a passable smoothie. Not to mention, go in there at 9am and there's music blasting for the enjoyment of the staff. read more

I am reviewing as a food delivery service driver and a customer. The service is lacking. Most everyone here is not friendly with the exception of the Hispanic manager who is the only one in that building actually seeming like he cares about customers and his job. This guy could probably do a better job running the place by himself. My biggest problem with picking up from this location is their food pickup is pretty difficult. Every restaurant has a spot to either pick up the to-go bag right away or to go right to the counter and let them know you're there for your pre-made order.. I find that here - you have to wait in line with all the customers who have not yet ordered. Which takes forever at times and it diminishes my ratings with my company, making it possible to get deactivated and not have a job. They also do not put plastic forks or spoons, napkins or straws in the bag for to-go orders. You have to either do it yourself or remind them that to-go orders need proper bagging. That needs to change if they continue to do a delivery system, people are looking for quick deliveries! My review based on eating here. Well the tuna is watery and the smoothie was mediocre. My sister ordered a vegetarian panini - it came on a regular roll and had one single piece of slimy cheese on it with a couple of veggies. Not worth the cost. My husband did a juice package and he was happy with the juices. If it wasn't for that one insanely helpful and pleasant man, my review would be one star. read more

Blend Smoothie and Salad Bar - Monroe - Vile servicing of 4 juices ordered all in the bag drenched in liquids: Wheatgrass, Ginger, Inflammation, Daily Detox !! - Salad Near Me - Monroe, New York

Really tried to love this place cuz the salads and wraps are fresh and taste good but the service is horrible. I came here 3 times and all 3 times the 10+ people behind the counter were slow, confused, didn't know that orders were coming in. All 3 times the order was wrong. So we've decided not to come here anymore and try another health food spot in town. Advice to owner- train your workers better, they have no sense of process whatsoever. read more

Great food, extremely friendly staff, amazing options Definitely a go to spot for a healthy lunch read more

I ordered the coco citrus bowl which comes with, orange, pineapple, coconut, granola and honey. I received maybe a quarter of an orange with some of the peel still on most pieces which there were 5 of. They charge $10 for a small yogurt bowl, skimp on the ingredients and leave the peel on. It would be cheaper and better quality if you bought the ingredients and made yourself. read more

Blend Smoothie and Salad Bar - Monroe - Acai Bowls - Salad Near Me - Monroe, New York

Ordered a salad and expressly asked for all Romaine lettuce. The person on the phone said they would do that. The salad came and it was all nasty, whitish green, iceberg lettuce. The rest of the ingredients were sparse and uninspiring. Really disappointed in this place since the New Widsor location is really good. read more

I moved up to the area about three years ago from NYC. Things I love about this spot; 1) there's young people employed and running things which is a great way to be responsive to the community 2) there's so many choices like açaí bowls and smoothie combos which are delicious. I've had one of the pineapple smoothies, the Caesar wrap and the Krispy cheddar wrap; all we're delicious 3) the vibe- they were playing smooth R&b when I walked in which I promise you isn't what the other businesses in town are playing 4) quick, courteous service 5) insta-posing spot near the entrance so you can take cute pics Check then out! read more

Didn't realize this place existed until, as an UberEats delivery driver, I was called there to make a delivery -- but was pleased that I did. Tasty smoothie, and you can see all the fresh ingredients. I've returned a few times. So why a lower rating? 1. Charging 3% extra for using a credit card is just WRONG. Especially when you're a business selling a product aimed at modern, younger customers who are much less likely to ever carry cash. 2. Speed of service -- they have so many employees, but no clear assignments of duties, so during at least one of my visits, the order just sat in the printer because everyone was doing side work and no one was assigned to work that section of the prep area. 3. Pricing for online ordering was even higher than the credit card prices. Again, are you trying to take advantage of people during the pandemic? My smoothie was about $1.50 higher on DoorDash than if I walked in -- a 21% increase! I'll be back, but I have to remember to bring cash with me -- even though I'm no longer a teen, I never carry cash with me anymore. read more

The foods good, I'm giving it a two start because of how inconsistent they've been. We've order a couple times the first time was awesome. But honestly every time after it's so different. Oatmeal is super simple they just can't seem to get it right. It's a good healthy option and I'll still order in hopes to get that awesome meal I get once in awhile... read more

I don't eat here often but every time I have there's always something going wrong. About a year ago I did a mobile order, it said the time it would be ready was 20-30 mins. I got there right around the 30 min mark, walked in and asked for my order. They had no idea what I was talking about at first, double checked the computer and saw it there. They never even made the food so I had to stand there and wait 15 mins until it was done. They then tried to tell me I never paid when I prepaid over the phone. This was another 5 mins of my time wasted proving to them that I did in fact pay over the phone. This ordeal made me so late to where I was going. I ordered again from here today thinking maybe they got better, but sadly I was wrong. I paid extra for bacon and for the chicken to be breaded instead of grilled. Neither of those things were correct. They didn't put bacon in the wrap nor did they bread the chicken. The croutons were so stale and soggy. If you're going to make people pay extra for certain things you should actually include them in the order? Also for a place that advertises itself as "fresh" and "healthy" your croutons shouldn't be soggy and old. Just when you think it simply cannot get worse, we both had stomachaches after eating the wraps. I really have to say that the Monroe blend is awful. The one in new Windsor is ALWAYS good and worth driving out of the way for. Never again will I get blend from Monroe. The employees clearly do not pay attention to what the customers order and have the audacity to charge $14 for a wrap that's wrong and will make you sick. read more

Blend Smoothie and Salad Bar - Monroe - Salad Near Me - Monroe, New York

Another Hudson Valley location pops up from the people at Blend! They continue to go above and beyond to give the people what they crave. Centrally located, spacious, with more healthy options than your heart could desire. I had a Buffalo Chicken Wrap and a Fresh Squeezed lemonade, both of which did not disappoint! If you're looking for a healthy alternative in the area, this IS the place for you. Right next to Planet Fitness in the shopping center, perfect to stop in for a smoothie or a salad along with a variety of other options after hitting the gym. You won't regret it. read more

I've only had an Açaí bowl from here once before and was out with my boyfriend running errands when we decided to order from here for lunch. We went from getting an Açaí bowl to exploring their menu to deciding on something different. I ordered the Tuscan Avocado Toast and my BF had the Tuna melt on a tortilla. So the tuna melt was a cold sandwich with cold shredded cheese......hmmm could their version of a tuna melt be different from the rest of the world?? Before I even started eating my "toast" I called about the tuna "melt". The response I was given was that they heat it up in the panini machine and any longer than a minute it will burn. Well I can tell you the sandwich didn't even get to look at the panini appliance let alone sit in it. Anyway I was offered a free wrap.....not what my goal was but okay. Then I started eating my Avocado "toast". Notice the quotation around toast? It was a thick slab of un toasted bread. A tablespoon maybe of chicken on it and just plain tasteless. I understand the difficulties food establishments are having right now so I even included a 15% tip for me to pick it up. This is the 2nd and last time I will be ordering here.....very disappointing since we needed something like this in the area. You can try your luck but you might be better with sticking with the açaí bowls and forget the prepared food. read more

Came from NJ, visiting a special someone. Came across blend and there's nothing really like this by me in NJ. The staff was super attentive, on point, friendly and honestly made me feel at home. Definitely coming here when coming from New Jersey. And they were super friendly for not just me but to everyone who went into the store. I'm an assistant manager for a store and never felt this sort of customer service in a long time. Saying 15/10 from everyone is an understatement! Def felt like at home with these guys!!! read more

The manager & one of the employees there (Blend Smoothies In Monroe NY) are very unprofessional,racist,& give me a hard time whenever I come to the store & I strongly feel this is because of my race read more

It's great to have a healthy food/drink store in town.. The only thing that would make it better is if everything was organic.

Super friendly and accommodating staff. I ordered delivery for smoothies bowls which is expected to be kind of melty. Unfortunately I found pretty noticeable pieces of ice so I called the store and the manager remade them for me to come pick up. Even gave me the option to come get them the following day. Overall really great experience and good food. read more

The best smoothies and salads. I'm glad they opened up in Monroe to provide new options. Love their Santa Fe salad! I'm definitely a regular customer. read more

There food here is so good I can't stop coming here. There cleaning out my bank account, and all there workers are kind and very energetic!

Terrible service. I am a frequent customer & this is now the 3rd time they have messed up. I call 2 hours ahead for pick ups because I only have a certain amount of time allotted for my lunch break while I'm working, but Blend rarely makes it on time and forces me spend way more time waiting for my order THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE ALREADY AND MADE THE RIGHT WAY. Usually the order is WRONG. Terrible service, it gets worse and worse every time I go in there. Management needs to do something different because whatever they are doing, it is NOT working. Do better. The other locations are great. Not Monroe. read more
