I went with the Campus Crush smoothie which had banana, pineapple and orange for fruit made with coconut milk. Perfection. It tasted so good and I felt better after drinking it! My partner got the Mocha Joe smoothie which a slew of ingredients that worked amazingly well together - banana, cold brew, cocoa and almond milk. I had some and loved it too. No complaints from either of us. The smoothies aren't cheap but you're getting real quality that you can feel good and not guilty about drinking so I think it's definitely worth it!

Tip in advance or be punished!!!…read more I paid with a card, no pre-tip. The girl behind the counter pulled my receipt, looked at it, looked at me, and the mood turned dark. She became agitated; slamming ingredients around at the blender, yelling to the other girl in the back. I should have cancelled and left right then and there. Store was dead -- one couple waiting at the pickup end, nobody in line. She wasn't slammed. Five, ten minutes go by. She hands the couple their order, makes another smoothie in a blender and sets it on the far end of the pickup counter AWAY from me without a word or a glance my way. It's bright red. I ordered strawberry-banana-blueberry. This had no blue in it anywhere. I figured it wasn't mine. Another five or ten minutes pass. She's glancing at me from afar now and then. Still no blue smoothie shows up. Finally I walk back down and ask about it. She tells me the red one from ten minutes ago was mine. I realize she had let me stand there waiting as retaliation for not tipping upfront. Dirty trick... Here's the part that gets me: I tip in cash, at the end, based on how the service goes. That's the whole point of tipping. But the second she saw no tip on the card screen, she'd already assumed how this was going to go and fulfilled her own prophecy. Places need to stop showing employees who tipped in advance and who didn't. I've watched this same thing happen at Five Guys -- tip upfront or face slower service and vaguely deniable hassles like mine. Never going back to this one.

They offer a good variety of healthy smoothies including fruit blends, vegan, energy and immune boosts and acai bowls. I ordered a small Gladiator Cold Brew smoothie ($6.99 plus tax) which was made to order quickly and had a blend of protein, bananas, cold brew, ice, and milk, blended together. This smoothie was cold, sweet and had the coffee flavor I needed on a hot and humid day outside. They also do mobile orders with the pickup counter in the front. The smoothies and bowls are made ahead of time for those orders and kept cool in a glass cooler until the customer or delivery driver comes in to pickup.

The smoothie from here might have been slightly better tasting than the smoothies I ordered from the Latham location. Though the staff in Latham may have been a little more knowledgeable and friendly (not that they were bad here but the Latham spot had some really nice, friendly people). Overall, Bare Blends is a solid addition to the capital district area!

I stood there for 5 minutes, even standing right up against the counter and they did not even acknowledge me. They were too caught up in their own gossip.

Will never go back here. Awful vibes.

The menu is extensive because it includes so many combinations. It even includes energy drinks. I immediately noted that prices are certainly better than Starbucks. The options for coffees and teas are greater than at Starbucks or Dunkin'. I decided on-- Hot: The Cappuccino was prepared nicely and tasted like those made at restaurants. Cold: The Georgia Peach Tea was incredibly flavorful. Five Stars for these drinks. Drive thru was quick and convenient. The staff is helpful and patient as you decide on your order. I will return to try more beverages if I am in mood for more than my boring Go To Dunkin' Decaf Coffee. They advertise-- "7 Brew Coffee differentiates itself through a high-speed, drive-thru-only model focusing on extreme customization, offering over 20,000 combinations of coffee, energy drinks, and teas. Key differences include personalized service from "Brewistas," a focus on sweet, dessert-like drinks, and competitive pricing for larger drink sizes compared to chains like Starbucks."

Now when I clicked the fried catfish option it opted me to pay a dollar extra for cheese, which is weird because it's already in the title of the meal but I just clicked add cheese for a dollar extra. The staff was friendly. The woman who made my shake, asked me if I would like oats added to the drink to make it taste more like carrot cake. I took her advice, and I do not regret it. The shake was delicious. I took the meal home and I will say to my surprise I felt like they put a very small amount of catfish compared to everything else in the place but the catfish was pretty good. I was happy to see they didn't fry it with cornmeal. The eggs was well seasoned with salt and pepper and cheese. The grits were slightly bland, but it wasn't the worst grits that I've tried. I recommend trying this place because I will be back, especially for the shakes.
