Excellent food. Fresh and bursting with flavor. I didn't even realize this was a vegan place until I took my first few bites. It was so damn good! Portions are plentiful and prices are great. My smoothie was excellent also. So lucky to live close to this place. read more

Love this place. Smoothies are really good - wide, healthy selection. Also some great pastries.

Around the neighborhood and went back for some veggan bread and ice cream. Great cool people thirsting me going back for more. We even got to get their calaloo patties this time. Dying to try. We got them frozen to go. Got their veggan cherry ice cream. Wonderful at such a hot weather. read more

The largest portion açaí bowl for $10- and it was delicious. Lots of seating in the back, outdoor patio as well.

Good food for my vegan friends, staff is amazing and very friendly every time great Caribbean vegan restaurant in Brooklyn

VEGANS UNITE!!! MARCH FORTH TO THIS PLACE!!! My omnivore coworker put me on to this place (yasss my plan to spread plant based diet awareness is working as she thought I'd love it and she now loves it too!). She loved their lentil patties and recommended I try them. She SWEARS by them and orders 3 at a time! So they MUST be good! I ordered 1 of the soy chicken patties and 1 slice of their vegan pumpkin bread... Pattie: light crisp, flaky outer shell. Lightly flavored and paired well with the soy chicken center. The soy chicken was nicely seasoned and they placed the perfect amount in the center. Not too bulky or too thin. Bread: oh pumpkin flavor how I adore thee! It was so moist and didn't break into a bunch of crumbs or turn to mush. They surely know how to bake vegan treats! It wasn't too sweet and definitely satisfied a sweet tooth craving. It's also situated right next to a dope spot (Eve's Lounge) which has a vegan options on their menu and happy hour 4-8pm!!! Vegan patty and grab a mimosa next door right after.... sounds like a WIN to me! The man behind the register was also super pleasant and helpful! I hope they bring back the tofu patties as I'd love to try it! The other reviews are on point! This place is amazing! Definitely recommending to fellow vegans (and omnivores alike). Places like this should surely turn into full fledged dine in restaurants!!! I'd make a reservation ASAP! read more

Natural Blend - MENU!!! - Vegetarian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Natural Blend is a very popular Caribbean vegan / vegetarian restaurant which is a staple for fresh pressed and blended juices, tasty vegan meals, vegan patties, and baked goods. I often get the small vegan citrus spareribs & jerk chicken combo. It's enough food, reasonably priced, and very tasty. My picky son even loves the vegan jerk chicken. I also love the akee & salt fish (real fish) with sautéed callaloo and roasted breadfruit so I often grab that on weekend mornings when I don't feel like cooking. The mixed grain porridge is also delish. Yumm! read more

I really like Natural Blend as the vegan/vegetarian spin off of 3Ds. They offer everything from pastries, patties, juices and meals (meat substitutes with rice and peas or variations of pastas). The staff though very kind don't know what is in the items they sell. Some items are vegan and are labeled as such while others are vegetarian. My recommendation is to have all items clearly labeled as vegan/vegetarian and to make sure everyone is aware of which items are what. read more

Very delish!! Ate here with my fefe and got the citrus ribs with a Jamaican jerk patty and the 13 bean soup that stuff was BUSSINNNN‍‍

I am DROOLING while writing this review and reminiscing of their food. The texture of their vegetarian meats can take a few bites to get comfortable with but the FLAVORS and SPICES are incredible! We tried their Pepper Steak and Curry Chicken, both vegetarian and over rice. We also shared a pea patty/empanada. The pea patty was a little too mushy and reminded me of comfort soup (and the Curry Chicken dish as well). But I would still get it again! Prices are cheap. It's $7 for a small box that can really fill you up. The empanadas are $2.50 each. It's a little bit bigger than a hole-in-the-wall with some seating. I would come here everyday if I lived nearby! read more

I've lived in the 'hood for several years and never thought to stop in this place until today -- I should kick myself. The dinner that I just consumed was so incredibly bomb. I can't believe I've been depriving myself of this. Lawd. "Fish" patty = huge, flavorful, flaky, not too dry Citrus "ribs" w/ cabbage, rice & peas. = perfect portion, perfectly seasoned, and sooo much healthier than the usual dish - just ON POINT. The food wasn't generic like Golden Krust, nor was it slapped together like some of these other carrib spots pushing out dry ol' plates of rice & peas to make their rent bill -- there was some genuine TLC put into this food. Seriously, I can't do this place justice through this review. I've consumed a lot of veg(an) food and this right here, is just ridiculous. I'll be telling everyone I know - vegetarians, vegans, carnivores, etc. - about it. I'll be back soon... possibly tomorrow -_- read more

Whoa. The vegan cassava cone ($3) is the bomb (and gluten free!). It's a huge square piece of super chewy and gooey goodness. Not too sweet either! It has a subtle spice of cinnamon...or nutmeg? Who knows...but it was AWESOME. And the sea moss drink ($4.50) is so good too. This simple combo is a filling lunch believe it or not and you can leave without feeling guilty of what you ate. Will definitely come back to try out another pastry. :) Total: $7.50 Satisfication: 100% read more

Last week at a networking event I listened to a 60 something year old white guy complain about "juice bars" in the upper west side. I was ilke, oh yeah, gentrifiers. Then he said, no no no, not the new ones. Apparently, juice bar was a thing before all the Juice Presses, Juice Generations, and Pressed Juiceries came about. And apparently to him, the old juice bars were dangerous and scary places. Fast forward to today, I stepped into Natural Blend after a short visit to the BKM. The vibe is homey and warm (temperature was also super warm and my glasses fogged immediately). Menu is somewhat vague but here is how it works - all the veggie meat dinners come with rice and peas, and for the "lasagna dinner" which is what I ended up ordering, you get veggie lasagna instead of rice and you still have to pick a protein. I actually got overwhelmed by the protein options so the nice guys gave me half pepper steak and half curry chicken. The food had massively flavor and tasted like home. It tasted so good that I forgot where home was. Throughout my meal there was a group of men next to me chitchatting in a language I didn't understand, but I could pick up the phrase "miss clinton" here and there. I assume they were just #fam since they didn't get anything to eat or drink. Everyone seemed to know each other. But yeah. I can see why some 60-something-year-old white guy wouldn't like this. read more

Natural Blend - Veggie patty and lasagna dinner w curry chicken and pepper steak - Vegetarian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I found this place because of Yelp. Beau and I decided to give it a try and as a fellow Jamaican I was pleased to know that a semi vegan restaurant was on the scene. Food: Rice and Peas - Well seasoned - Perfect Taste Curry Chicken - Needs a bit of work. The heavy curry flavor that I love was missing and it was a bit bland. SPICE/SCOTCH BONNET THAT BAD BOY UP! (wink) Stew Chicken - Taste okay. Nothing special - I think it should have some spices in it to differentiate the taste from curry. Other than the color of the two, oddly enough they were similar in taste. Citrus Spare Ribs - THE BEST! Tastes very good. It has a sweet taste to it. Very Enjoyable. Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower was semi crunchy and was seasoned well. Steamed Cabbage was the same. Very delightful to eat. Overall, with the customer service and the food I will give this place a solid 4! Thank you Dave for your kind spirit as I worked through trying to figure out what I wanted while we conducted my 11 min, question and answer on the phone. :-) Bless up to you and the business! * Hazel read more

Stopped her needing to get some rejuvenation after a workout, I yelped locations in my area and found this one. I have a passion for natural juices so decided to get a ABC juice ( apples, beets,carrots). The drink was good, however for the price it was too small. I also tried some veggie zucchini cake which was a tad bit on the dry side. They have a good round up of drinks and food but I would rather my local juicer.. read more

Post-Brooklyn Museum I was on the hunt for some vegan treats. I opened my yelp bookmarks and found Natural Blend was walking distance. It was also a good choice because one of my awesome vegan friends had already been there. Limited seating, order at the counter, Caribbean eats, includes desserts and ice cream. I ordered a pint of grapenut and pistachio ice cream to split with my buddies. I had a bite of lentil patty - yum! I definitely want to go back to try a full meal! read more

Natural Blend - Jerked tofu patty - Vegetarian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

"Oh, how I love thee!" If I were going to write a love poem to a restaurant, I would write it to Natural Blend. It is my favorite place to eat in all of the five boroughs. Natural Blend is a small Caribbean vegetarian/vegan restaurant in Prospect Heights, not far from the Brooklyn Museum. There are only four tables and a counter with a few stools in the restaurant, which specializes in making vegetarian versions of popular dishes with a Caribbean twist. My favorite item is the pepper "steak," which is served with a spicy rice with peas, and cabbage or steamed vegetables (I prefer the cabbage). The citrus spare ribs are something special too. The curry "chicken" is mild-flavored; I prefer my curry to be bold. All dishes come in two sizes (small or large). The vegan baked goods at Natural Blend are very good -- every bit as good as you'd find in the best non-vegan bakery in the city. I enjoy the vegan pumpkin bread in particular. The carrot bread is good too, but it has raisins in it. The staff are really nice and will help you choose a dish if you have a problem deciding. The first time I went to Natural Blend, I was offered samples of the dishes to help me decide what I should order. If you're nice and they're not busy, you might get offered the same thing. It's a good thing that I don't live in Brooklyn, because I would be tempted to eat at Natural Blend every day. No exaggeration. Contrary to what's posted in the business info here at Yelp, Natural Blend does not accept credit cards. The sign at the register reads "Cash Only." read more

Delicious amazing smoothies!!!! The baked goods are extraordinary. I love this place it's excellent. I do wish they had the punch cards to get a 5th or 7th free smoothie. Would be great for customers and their business. read more

Great place for a quick bite. I always go here for a smoothie and a patty. I love their lentil patty the best. It is very vegan and vegetarian friendly. It is a small place but efficient. I'm just a little confused at their menu sometimes. I can't tell if it's actually fish or vegan fish. And some stuff is just labeled chicken and I'm not sure if that implies vegan chicken? Overall worth checking out. read more

Has some quinoa with cabbage ontop, and an incredible smoothie. Very fresh, very delicious. Also a nice alike of pumpkin bread. Pretty straight forward inside space, little heavy line because only one person behind the counter, but completely worth it. read more

I tried this place recently, it was a good experience. The food was fresh and well prepared. I'd like to try more things off the menu.

I've been ordering the same Tropical Green smoothie with extra ginger for 7 years. This place has always been a diamond in the rough! Food always has great flavor. The prices are fair for the quality food. Great vegan and vegetarian lunch specials. They just redid the interior and made it look more clean and modern. I really hope this place stays around for a long while! They're so popular during lunch time there's now a line out the door sometimes! They also sell vegan ice creams and baked goods! Their pumpkin and chick'n patties are my favorite savory treat! read more

Vegan patties! I was craving beef patties and yelped for vegan joints and bam found this! I was initially feeling skeptical about this place, even when I arrived but wow. I am so glad I followed through. It's so good! It's so good! It's a vegan patty! They have three flavors but I only had two left. This was more than a fulfillment to my cravings. Love it! read more

How are u out of chicken patties (vegan) in the afternoon? Smh. They are steadily going downhill. What is most upsetting is that the staff just doesn't CARE that the product is not available. No apologies, no heartfelt empathy, NOTHING. Sadly, a product that should be sold NATIONWIDE will probably die with the owner of the establishment. Why? Because no one seems to care. I was a regular here. Now, the only reason I stopped in today is because we were in the area & figured, "hey, lets go get a patty". What the illustrious staff doesn't realize is not only was I going to buy patties, but I was going to buy dinners too. After seeing their attitudes, I PUT MY MONEY BACK IN MY POCKET and went down the street to Vegetarian Palate and had a fantastic meal. Guess what? THEY HAD ALL THEIR PRODUCTS LISTED ON THE MENU!!!!!. Perhaps someone will come along and provide what this company cannot: A consistent product. Why did i give them 3 stars you ask? Because I took home frozen patties to cook myself. At least they had that. But the real question is: IF YOU HAVE THE PATTIES IN THE FREEZER, WHY DIDN'T YOU GET SOME READY FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS!!! Smh. read more

The best vegan patties I've ever had! I'm a longtime on and off vegan and I prefer their vegan patties to all other veg or meat patties. My partner loves meat and loves these patties too! Have been coming here for over a decade and I still come here even though I don't live in Brooklyn anymore. Just got a box of frozen fish patties to bring home to Boston. Sooo good! All the patties are amazing. Fish, callaloo and split peas are must try's. I haven't had kale bc I am over kale, so can't speak to that. Please open a Boston location!!! We need you! read more

Natural Blend - Vegetarian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've had some delicious and some so-so items here. On my most recent visit, I had the vegan lasagna, which was excellent, very reasonably priced (around $4/slice), and it was full of veggies and vegan cheese. I also tried the 12-bean soup which was surprisingly rich and tasty, mostly due to the coconut milk base. I always like grabbing some vegan ice cream here but I'm a little burnt out on the very artificial-flavor of the Klein's ice cream so I'll likely try one of their homemade pastries next time. There's very limited seating but I'm usually able to get a stool at the counter, and I've always found the service to be friendly. read more

Natural Blend - $5 vegan lasagna and cabbage. Yum and cheap! - Vegetarian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I just moved to the neighborhood and was craving a nice smoothie a couple of blocks away. It did not disappoint! Every smoothie I got there was delicious. Other reviews also recommended the fish patty and I just tried it out. It was warm, flakey and very flavorful. I enjoy how it has a small, mom & pop local feel to it. The other customers appear to be locals who frequent this joint, so it's quite refreshing to see. I cannot recommend this place enough for a quick bite! read more

So after a day of pampering, my friend and I decided we needed to Kiki over some food. As we'd just gotten out nails done at a salon around the corner from Natural Blend, we decided to go there for something to eat. I love that Natural Blend offers plant based options. While I'm not vegan I do hope to adopt that way of eating soon and it's nice to know I have options. It was really nice to walk into this place and get greeted with a friendly smile and it really seemed that man behind this counter was very grateful for each and everyone that passed through the door. It made me feel like I was visiting family! Now let's talk about the food! It was delicious! I ordered a small lasagna with soy chicken chunks and I believe cabbage. I don't know what kind of magic they put in their food but the spices were on point, it was tender without being mushy, the portion was generous, the veggies were nice and soft yet a little crisp. I am definitely going here again when I'm on that side of Brooklyn. The only thing I would love to see change is the interior. I know it has nothing to do with the food, but I would love to see a brighter interior and a cleaner bathroom. The interior of Natural Blend was a bit rundown and dark as the lighting seemed a bit dim. But overall that doesn't take away from the amazing food. read more

If you like vegan food and havent eaten here you are completely missing out! I am a Pescatarian but choose vegan whenever it is available. I haven't had anything here that I disliked. Their patties are all delicious although I prefer the chicken or the split pea ones. I also love their citrus ribs because they kind of reminds me of Chinese food. Their smoothies are also really good my favorite is the energy booster because it has walnuts papaya strawberry bananas and energy booster in it I doubt that anything you try will be a miss. I brought a friend who hates vegan food here and she absolutely loved it she said she would only try vegan again if we would eat there! If that doesn't say A lot then I don't know what will. read more

Wow. This is one of those places that you literally feel healthier after taking your first bite! Or sip! I just got done with one of their sea moss smoothies and I feel amazing. I also love all of their entrees. So many healthy vegetables and spices. Treat your body right! Great grab and go spot, although they do have some seating as well. read more

Great smoothies! Try this place out if you're in the mood for a healthy drink. Lovely mom and pop shop!

No frills fresh juices. I'm not a vegan/vegetarian or an avid juicer, so perhaps that's why I'm not as easily impressed by the establishment. Tried the orange delight and the juice was definitely all natural and made to order. Price was also decent. However, place appeared slightly dark and a bit messy. Also, the interior was incredibly hot and muggy. It was actually cooler outside than inside. Not sure what's going on here... read more

A total lifesaver/go-to/neighborhood fav.... my husband and I just moved to this part of bed stuy and on our first day in our new place we were definitely starving and also definitely did not want to cook. Both being vegans, we knew the take-out pickings would be slim (unless we wanted to walk all the way to Toad Style...). We went on a short walk and saw the Natural Blend sign like an oasis in the distance and made our way there... and the rest is history. A history that involves me visiting for a meal or a juice at least twice a week. I have never ordered anything that wasn't superb, but the chicken cutlets and the ital stew are particularly phenomenal. Vegan fare is rare in this area of BK, but despite this, the food here is genuinely amazing, not just "amazing for vegan food". Come to the oasis. It's not a mirage. You won't be sorry. read more

I finally got a piece of that mouth watering lasagna. I don't know what they put in it, but I am addicted. I ordered the curry chunks and the citrus chunks and the steam cabbage to go with it. They patties are always a hit. I tried the chocolate cookie, but it taste more like a bullacake (for all my Jamaicans you know what it is). The cassava pone is pretty good too. The food here is well seasoned and tasteful. read more
