On a recent trip to the Albany area, I found myself on back-to-back work calls in my hotel room and…read morein need of lunch. In searching for a healthy lunch option that has delivery options on Yelp, I came upon Bowled. I ordered one of their signature açai bowls. It came with an açai base, peanut butter, berries, granola, banana, and chia seeds. The ingredients were all fresh, it tasted delicious and was incredibly satisfying. It filled me up and got me through my workday. Their bowls deliver well so no worries there. My bowl arrived at my door perfect and ready to eat. Not sure what their in house experience is like but as for delivery--get to it!

Service was good, but there was a very strong odor in the restaurant. Some kind of air freshener or…read moresomething. I took my bowl to go and ate it about 10 minutes later. When I started eating it I could taste the air freshener. Determined that it was the croutons. They tasted and smelled just like the odor I smelled in the restaurant. I decided to eat the rest of my bowl and just took out the croutons, but won't be going back. Yuk

They could use high top tables or perhaps bar seating. At present, after you get their delicious creations, you have to go to the food court if you want to eat at a table. I ordered a green juice and was feeling happy and healthy until my niece gave me 1/2 of her s'mores crepe. . My kid has the berry berry waffle without the strawberry ice cream and she loved every bite. We would definitely come here again. In case you are wondering, there are no savory crepes.

Received burnt eggs on my pad Thai that where so burnt they where black and inedible. I went back and got something else to replace it (chicken tikka masala) and I'm so glad on a whim I decided to grab some fries from a neighboring food truck. Because the chicken tikka masala was just as inedible.

I have tried this food truck a couple times now, it's my go-to spot. I agree w/the poster who said…read morethe soba noodles were an issue, mushy.. starchy.. The upside, sub in the zucchini noodles and side step the issue entirely. For anyone who is not down w/the veggie noodles give them a try. Otherwise try rice. I love the "zoodles" BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I can't say enough about how much I really enjoy this food truck. Korean BBQ, steak bowl.. brisket. They're all really good. My favorite is the poke bowl, followed closely by the bruschetta bowl. The staff is the BEST of all the food trucks outside of the Capitol. They make an effort to make you happy, so switch proteins, substitute protein- they have tofu, they'll make it Keto if that's your preference.. They really make an effort to remember what you like.. they take your name w/your order & they get to know you. Today, I bought a bowl for lunch and dinner. Cuz.. that's how I bowl!

Healthy Lunch Find in Downtown Albany! During my lunch…read morestroll through downtown Albany looking for something healthy, a coworker and I stumbled across Blend and Brew on State Street. To my surprise, both the Energizer and Lunch smoothies were delicious! They had the perfect creamy consistency--not too thick and not watery--and were packed with flavor. I ordered the Energizer in a medium and could really taste the mango, apple, and lime. It was so good that I immediately wished I had ordered a large! They also offer pre-made sandwiches, fruit bowls, and wraps, making it a great grab-and-go lunch option. Since it's a little off the main path, the line was short and service was quick, even during the busy lunch rush. If you're looking for a fresh, healthy lunch option downtown, this spot is definitely worth checking out! Yelp Rating: 4.5/5 Would I return? Absolutely--for a large Energizer next time!

Enjoyed my oatmeal with berries etc and a fruit protein smoothie. Service was very pleasant and the place is an oasis in a nondescript strip mall. BTW, no, there are no fruit loops to be had, but that's ok.

Loop is a smoothie and café spot that focuses on healthier options like smoothie bowls, avocado…read moretoast, coffee, and fresh drinks, with a bright and modern space filled with greenery and colorful presentation. We walked into a café where the relaxed atmosphere makes it a nice place to stop for breakfast or a quick break, the kind of space where the environment is just as much part of the experience as the food. The interior has a fresh, airy energy with plenty of natural light and seating that encourages lingering, though finding a spot can take some patience during busier hours. The smoothie bowls were the main highlight. The texture was thick and well blended, and the fruit combinations worked well together without feeling overly heavy. We tried a few options and found the bowls balanced, with the toppings adding texture and flavor without overwhelming the base. The avocado toast was also a solid option, especially with the toppings adding more flavor instead of making it feel too basic, and the bread held up well against the spread. The drinks are another reason to visit, with smoothies and matcha options fitting the overall concept, and the coffee menu gives a good alternative for anyone who wants something less fruit-focused. The café also has some creative drink choices, which makes it feel more like a full café experience rather than just a smoothie shop. The biggest thing to keep in mind is the wait time. The food is made fresh, so orders can take longer than expected during busy periods, and allowing extra time is worth considering if you are visiting during peak hours. Service is friendly and the staff handle the flow efficiently, but the pace of the kitchen can slow down when the café fills up. Seating is also limited, so the experience works best when you are not in a hurry. Loop is a good option if you are looking for a café with healthier food choices and a nice atmosphere. The smoothie bowls and drinks are the main reason to visit, and the bright, welcoming space makes it easy to spend some time there. It is not the fastest stop, but the quality and overall experience make it worth checking out.
