Acai bowls are also great. I have tried both iced and hot coffees as well as matcha. They are solid but nothing too stand out in terms of drinks.

The only reason it did not get five stars is the somewhat limited menu.

Came here because I was parked nearby to pick up an order…read more They advertise "great breakfast sandwiches," but I do not agree based on my order today. Ordered the BrEGGY X Sammy Local Buns + 2 Farm Eggys + White Cheddar + Avocado + Pesto+ Pink Salt The "local bun" was a version of a common white blah hamburger roll. Toasting was not an option, or it was not offered. The "Sammy" did not taste good because the eggs had bits of shell, the avocado was very soft, and the pesto made the roll soggy. Did not taste the salt, and pepper would have improved the flavor. Ate only half. Ambiance: 2 stars Seating: Mostly high top tables with metal chairs Few low round wooden tables with childlike stools (photo) A long concrete bench along one wall (photo) --One look and I regretted not ordering takeout.

My first time at Bare, I ended up creating my own which didn't come out great so I went with their winter menu Cannoli smoothie bowl this time and it was the most yum!! Their cashew butter was so delicious and the smoothie bowl itself was not lacking on the toppings either! Everything was blended so smoothly and I was so satisfied by the end of it. I'm still thinking about that bowl today and it definitely made me want to try their weekly features and download their app for more deals! I ordered online and it was ready in the fridge when I got there and was super easy to get! Love the location as well as the one in Albany which is close to lots of great shops in the plaza. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a food that makes you feel good!

The juice was straight up from a bottle powder, it looked like bright Sunny D from Walmart. Total rip off of my $19. I was the only customer there, the front guy took my order, then started doing other things, totally ignored me for like 10 minutes. New customers came in and started putting in orders and he started making their orders and delivering them. They have a n automated system that shows them, what # order is going on. I was #19, my order took them 20 minutes to make (juice part) $6.99 for powder juice, that the menu claims has fresh orange, beets and cayanne. I am going to show you the pictures. The egg in my sandwich was not cooked. Liquid yucky white stuff in my Sandwich, I didn't ask for tomato or avocado, which they put in. See I had $9.99 orange and ginger juice from the Honest Weight Food Coop couple days ago. Bitter, sweet and Freshest of all. You know my standard is already high for citrusy juice. I can't take cheap powdery from the bottle juice, came home, threw it out. The worst part is that I asked the owner/front person if they used real fresh stuff, and they said Yes they do. So clearly they lied. I will never be back. People were liking açaí bowl, which they are selling for like $9 for small thing with few choppings of fruits. Looked pretty small for $9.

There is a traffic light on Hoosick Street, so getting into and out of the parking lot is easy. There is no table service. My observation is that the vast majority of their business is take out. You order at the counter and after they're done making your order they call your name out and you pick it up at the counter. Just like Burger King or McDonald's. Your order is displayed on a touchscreen that asks how do you want to pay, what kind of receipt you want, and if you want to leave a tip. I usually leave a small tip, although they don't do anything other than their job. They just take your order and make your food and that's it. I can't see anything that differentiates good service from bad service. Eating in is functional but not comfortable. Similar to a fast food restaurant The bathrooms are relatively clean, the tables are usually, but not always, clean. The dining tables have hard wooden benches. At least they have cushions on some of the benches that make sitting a little more comfortable. All in all, a typical fast food dining experience. The food is healthy, but much more flavorful than typical health food. I like the sriracha sauce, which spices up everything. I've narrowed my selections down to one or two items that I get on a regular basis. They are consistent about how they make each food item. Every order is identical, neat, and tidy. There are a number of signature items, but everything can be customized. Some additional items come at no cost, for others there is a small up charge. This is essentially a fast food restaurant serving healthy food. The dining in experience could be improved, and the service could be more consistent, but the food itself is fresh and tasty.

But there were just enough little things that, when added up, kept my review from being more favorable. I like to craft a salad, which you can do easily here. But if you're doing that while at the counter, unless you're looking at the menu from your phone, you only see the make-your-own ingredients on one monitor that changes what it displays about every 5 seconds. It took me several iterations to see the complete list of greens, proteins, additions, dressings, etc.. Maybe you could slow down how quickly the display changes, or maybe put a laminated copy of the menu on the counter? I was disappointed that salmon wasn't available, and they said they've had a problem getting it recently. That's not their fault, but disappointing anyway. The grilled chicken I ordered instead was fine, though chilled, meaning it was cooked earlier in the day. There was also something inedible in my salad, about pea-sized. I have no idea what it was, it wouldn't have come from any of the salad ingredients I ordered. I have to watch out for things like these, because in the past I've had crowns knocked out from biting into foods with surprises at restaurants. The rest room was clean but needed service. The soap dispenser was empty, and the wastebasket was full. Since the majority of their business appears to be take-out, and the restaurant had only been open for about 3 hours, it led me to believe they didn't bother to service it in the morning. While I'm used to "healthy" being more expensive than "starchy," even knowing I'd pay additional for the protein and certain add-ins such as avocado, the overall price, with beverage and tip, was still more than an equivalent amount at other places offering similar options in the area. None of this was deal-breaking, and just a few tweaks could easily add another star to a future revised review.

I proudly announce to the front person / people that I am new to this business. So they help me by making good suggestions etc. The front lady seemed a bit shy or an introvert, I really get that and that's okay, not everyone is ready to jump on a new customer. Shout out to introverts, all respect to you guys. Although bit unfriendly but she was able to help me order a smoothie. Pitaya Smoothie : Strawberries with pineapples, coconut milk with Pitaya? I never even tried Pitaya before, she said it's like dragon fruit. These were the key ingredients. However the combination of the fruits seemed bit off. I guess I compare every smoothie to the Honest Weight food coop. But berries go together. Beets and carrots and apple and lemon are acceptable pairing. Anyways may be I am wrong, thinking that Pitaya smoothie combination is bit strange. The strawberries didn't seem fresh, powder fruit might or might not have been used. I am not able to reverse engineer this smoothie. I got a salmon salad. Salmon was cured and not fresh fried, I had wished the front lady would have told me that. I do not like cured meats at all. The salads come in two sizes. Regular and large. Other than the cured salmon, the salad was great, fresh ingredients. The salad dressing was good too. Ambience was really quiet. Seems like a popular spot. Many clients stopped to get food. I would surely go back to try more things, other than the cured salmon. I have not written a long review in a while. I would definitely try this place. May be the staff will warm up overtime
