Bare Blends recently moved to a new location and also started new menu options of toasts and wraps!…read moreIt's a cute shop too. 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.

I love Bare. This review is being written for the Stuyvesant Plaza location but I have been to some…read moreof their other locations and they all are a little unique which is great. 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!

I enjoy stopping in here for a meal. There is sit-down seating, but I always get my food to go…read more This place is typical of most establishments that have a steam table setup. What isn't typical is the excellent food and friendly staff! I usually get the peril, which is excellent, but certain that the other options are also worth straying from my usual ordering habits. I need to come back to try the lentil soup (served Wednesdays). I've heard good things about it.

I come here often on my dinner break from work and I was soooo happy they survived Covid! Their…read morefood is so good, it's authentic, it's always fresh and always tasty! Their juices are delicious and I try a new one every time I go (although I do have a favorite ) this tiny little place packs a huge punch of authentic flavor which is very difficult to find up here for some reason so it's definitely worth the visit!!

A welcoming little cafe located in the Glenmont Plaza. This place is a treat. Or at least it seems…read morelike it is. I should be eating like this all the time. Everything I have gotten is delicious. Fresh fruit, granola,, you can add all kinds of stuff. You can build your own, you can get their craft specials. I am definitely eyeballing that pineapple coconut concoction available for the summer. I'm still learning about all the combinations but this place is so good. I could eat here every day. The staff is always friendly and willing to help with the abundance of delicious choices. I got a smoothie last week. I got a smoothie bowl this week. It had fresh strawberries fresh pineapple, walnuts, little dark chocolate drops, chocolate protein with almond milk. The base tastes like ice cream. I feel like I'm being bad but I'm not. Healthy eating is fun. I order on their app. It's easy and you earn points. They also have healthy treats for dogs that you can purchase.

Bare blends always has the most fun weekly flavors and the doughy bowl was one of my favorites!…read moreTasted just like a cookie and I love their healthy options which makes every bowl just the best! This is probably my favorite bare location, the girls working there are so nice and friendly and my bowls have always come out so delicious! It's also never crowded which is really nice just because the space is a bit smaller than the other locations I've been to. Overall I'm a big bare blends fan and highly recommend anyone with a craving for a smoothie bowl to stop by.

I have not been inside. I have only gotten DoorDash from this location. But the food was fantastic…read more Well packaged. The falafel is excellent. At some point soon, I want to make the trek to eat here in person. I have eaten at the location on Jay Street in Schenectady. I will update this review once I have had the ability to eat there in person. But the food itself is tasty.

If I could give Simone's Kitchen more than 5 stars, I would! I absolutely love this restaurant…read more It's such a great place to mingle with friends and family, including children. It's a kid-friendly environment and they even offer booster seats for little ones. Simone's kitchen offers an array of different table/chair sizes to accommodate those visiting solo or with a number of guests. Free water is provided and bathrooms and wifi are available onsite. Now, let's talk about the food. Simone's Kitchen is like Cava, but better! and it's Muslim-Owned. The food is always fresh! The service is friendly and quick! and the sweet treats are delicious! I've visited Simone's Kitchen a number of times and I sincerely don't get tired of it, because my taste buds enjoy's the food like it's my first time trying them. I've ordered the lil and big create your own bowls. The lil bowl is good for a serving of one and the big bowl and good for a serving of two. They offer a number of vegan and vegetarian options, which is a plus! The pita bread is always fresh and tastes great with the dips and dressings provided. The iced matcha latte is cool and it's possible to order it without the rose syrup. Loved the almond berry baklava and tahini truffle. Both treats are priced reasonably. Listen, overall, this a great place that was introduced to the Capital Region and I highly recommend giving Simone's Kitchen a visit.

Noticeably spotless! The staff all smile and really seem to love being there. Very upbeat and super…read morefriendly. I did not realize there were several locations in the capital district. There is one closer to me so I think I will be visiting there real soon. I got a toasty Big Chicken Shawarma wrap. It was stuffed full of fresh ingredients. Every single ingredient complimented the other I can't even describe it. It was a nice size and I ate it all. Absolutely delicious. I don't think I've had a toastier wrap ever. It was perfect. Pics included! A nice relaxed atmosphere with apparently several locations. I would encourage you to try one!

Staff are very welcoming and pleasant. Food very good…read more Tomato soup excellent. Shawarma bowls very good with fresh quality ingredients. Rice and pita bread very good. Fair pricing. Quality utensils. Quick service. Place and bathrooms are clean. Management/owner doing a fabulous job! Will always return! And will try the desserts next time.

Visited for the first time today and ordered a salad. Besides it being $15, none of the ingredients…read morelooked or tasted fresh. The salad greens were not chopped up and the other ingredients looked stale as if sitting out for days. I watched as the young woman who made the salad rammed everything into a bowl. The tzatziki dressing was beyond disgusting. Not sure how this passes as healthy much less appetizing. What a rip off. No customer service from the two ladies working today. They acted as they were miserable so I dumped my salad next door where I had an appointment. Never again.

Delicious vegan and gluten free smoothies and lunch! The service was friendly and helpful.read more

This is my second time going to the bowl food is delicious! You can pick your choice of rice noodle…read morenoodles or egg noodle noodles and any kind of veggies and sauce you want to go in your bowl. I love the way they cook your food in in this round mini grill. And they also have homemade passionfruit and mango green tea drink drinks. They are delicious. You can eat in or take out. The people are friendly and the service was great.

Salad was fine but nothing amazing. The summer rolls were inedible. They were 90% carrot, with a…read moregiant cucumber wedge, no lettuce or rice noodles, and a paper thin skin that tore before I even picked it up and served with a strange sauce.

I want to like their food soo bad that I have gone back time and time again just to be utterly…read moredisappointed. Their menu looks sooo amazing but the food just doesn't live up to expectations. 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!
