I'm always looking for a good smoothie bowl place in Albany and Bare was really good. I love all the options they have and the ability to customize it. Their fall menu looked fun as well. My friend really enjoyed their Caesar wrap and strawberry matcha too. Overall it's a bit pricey for a smoothie bowl place but it was yummy and they do have quality ingredients. It get be a bit of a wait when it gets busy but the workers are nice.

This is my favorite place to grab a smoothie or smoothie bowl. It's always fun and keeps it interesting to try out their seasonal specials which they have every 2-3 months. It can be a bit of a wait for your food on the weekends so HIGHLY suggest ordering ahead on their app. I've used it the past two times and it's super simple. Plus they have a rewards program to earn money off a future order!

Service was SO friendly! I had no idea what I wanted to order since there were so many options! The lady who helped me advised me on the most popular shakes, and I ultimately went with brownie since she said it wasn't overly sweet. She was right. It was perfect! As for the tea, again, too many options for me, so I asked her to just make me whatever and surprise me. She made me a pink lady and I was not disappointed at all! As I taking a pic of my drink, the person in line after me asked what I got and ordered it too! Definitely will be returning the next time I'm in town! Total came out to be less than $11 for both drinks! She said the shakes are only $6.50 each. I was so surprised. I was expecting to spend at least $8 on the shake alone!

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!

This spot is a great quick stop for mornings…read more My wife and I stopped in a few days ago and ordered a smoothie bowl, a bagel, a smoothie, and a matcha. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The matcha was absolutely delicious and clearly made with care -- prepared in a proper bowl and whisked with a bamboo whisk. I asked for a bit of honey, which really pulled the entire experience together. Honestly, I'd give this place a 5/5 based on the matcha alone. The smoothie bowl (I go the one that has banana, peanut butter, honey, and some other toppings) was great overall, though I did have one small complaint: there were a few large chunks of ice mixed in, and I accidentally bit into them. Aside from that, the bowl was flavorful and enjoyable. My wife ordered a smoothie, which was just okay. I didn't particularly care for it, and she unfortunately didn't end up finishing it. The service was excellent. The woman who took our order was very friendly and helpful, and she even recommended the matcha -- which turned out to be a great suggestion. One last note: we had visited this spot about a year ago, and it looks like the interior has completely changed since then. The new layout is bright and welcoming, no longer dark, and features a mostly gray palette with accent plants and furniture that bring everything together nicely. It feels much cozier than before.

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.

They have 3 caffeine options, with energizing having the least, boosted having a medium amount, and lit being the most caffeinated.

You should definitely definitely definitely give this place a try!
