Pastry at The Blend, Burlington
Bruce K.

"Coffee, the favorite drink of the civilized world." -Thomas Jefferson After overnighting in the RV, it was time for coffee and breakfast. The Blend was open at 7am which was super helpful as we arrived at 5 minutes past and spent an hour working out the plan for the day. Friendly baristas made a latte for Mrs. K. that she enjoyed in a proper coffee cup. My cortado was the proper two shots with steamed milk, served in a small ceramic cup. Unusual serving container but still delicious. We enjoyed a cheese danish and some wifi and some peace while we woke up and got ready to attack the day. Five stars for The Blend! [Review 57 of 2025 - 4032 in North Carolina - 23626 overall]

If you are looking for a quit place to hang out on a Friday night, the Blend hosts Jazz aretist. It a smaller and intimate space. Grab a latte and enjoy the soothing sounds... its a great stop in a downtown slowly showing signs of new life... a worthy stop

While visiting North Carolina on a work trip, I of course had to find a local coffee shop. The Blend & Co is adorable, and located in downtown Burlington. I went on day one to grab a coffee, and picked up a smoothie as well. It was delicious. The next day I tried a spiced rose latte. I thought it sounded so interesting, and it was fabulous! I also tried one of their green smoothies, which was the perfect breakfast. Their menu also includes some food items like sandwiches, salads, bagels, and diff toasts. Service was super friendly, and it was beautiful inside. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be my go to coffee shop.

When I went to visit my friend in Burlington we stopped at The Blend & Co twice! It's incredible. They have a variety of nondairy milk options (like macadamia nut), smoothie bowls, and breakfast sandwiches on the menu. The food and coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is beautiful. You can buy bags of coffee or coffee items like pour overs, French press, etc. They have a beautiful outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice and tons of plants! They even host other locals shops outside for various events or farmers markets. Overall a really cool cafe to work or hang with a friend.

Amazing coffee! Friendly people! Cute location in downtown Burlington! Pictured is a Vanilla latte.

The atmosphere of the Blend & Co is amazing, like a cozy bookstore. The service was sweet and quick. Now the smoothie I got was definitely not my favorite, it tasted more like the yogurt then any of the fruits and could only really taste pineapple. Overall not the strongest in terms of taste but definitely a cute atmosphere with good service.

Wheelchair accessible floor and bathrooms. Sensory friendly environment with quiet corners, a variety of seating choices, and natural lighting. FILLED with impressive beautiful plants. I wanted to live here. It's simply enchanting. The couches were buttery soft and comfy, there was room for small friends and big groups. I ordered a iced peach tea and it was delicious. I will absolutely be back to work here more. Such a creative and inspiring environment. There is a very nice outdoor seating area as well, with a lock art piece that was touching to explore and observe. Cute plant stickers for sale at the counter!

Latte

Always a favorite. Love the vibe inside and the barista always gets it right when I ask for "half sweet" on any specialty drink.

Every time I am in Burlington or driving through, I always make time to stop in at The Blend. It is one of my favorite local coffee shops. All of the drinks I have had there have been on point. Over the weekend I tried their Blue Moon latte and it was the best blueberry latte I have ever had. They also added frozen blueberries to it which was a fun touch! I have not tried any of their food, so I will have to do that soon. They have lots of cozy seating inside as well as a cute garden right outside with benches and tables. It is always easy to find street parking downtown but there is also a parking lot behind the building.

The young lady who helped me was very sweet and excited that I stopped in (I get mistaken for Bey all the time lol j/k I get mistaken for Janet lol ) but she could tell I was a first time visitor and assisted me in choosing a yummy sugar free green tea and also a protein shake. they offer a very a welcoming atmosphere, I was greeted as soon as I walked in. They were busy helping regulars which was nice to see. There are tables for people to sit and enjoy their drinks. I liked that it gives you a chance to slow down and enjoy the smoothie lol the next time I'm in the area I will make sure to stop by here an try more of the menu! The employees were very knowledgeable about the products and the benefits of the items such as the benefits of aloe. Can't wait to stop in and take another shot of aloe woot woot!

The service was great the workers were very friendly and welcoming. Our bowls were served quickly. The oatmeal chia base was delicious and filling. The fruit tasted fresh along with the delicious toppings to choose from such as fruit or nutella. The inside is decorated very lively and the outside seating is perfect for warmer days. I enjoyed trying this new healthy spot out! Cant wait to try the rest of the menu.

As someone that is now obsessed with açaí bowls and has them weekly, I have pretty high standards…read more I have been wanting to try Fresh Fruta forever since they are so close by. I finally went during the weekday to get something for lunch. The employee who greeted me took a few minutes to take my order because he was also making another bowl in front of me. They have a signature menu of 4 açaí bowls or you can build your own. Since this was my first time, I decided to just stick with one of the signature flavors. I ordered the Carolina Beach bowl. It had granola, strawberries, pineapple, coconut flakes, almond slices, and peanut butter. As mentioned before, they make it right in front of you and I took it to go. Once I ordered, it took less than 5 minutes to get my bowl. The bowl was average. I liked everything except the pineapple and peanut butter. The pineapple tasted like it was straight from a can and the peanut butter tasted like Jif (as someone else has said). There's nothing wrong with this, but I expected the bowl to be more fresh tasting but this tasted like something I could easily have made at home - especially for the price of $14.40. Because I love açaí bowls so much, I'd give them another chance!

The Halo Halo here cost $10+, the most expensive Halo Halo we ever purchased. For a mediocre blend, it's quite a joke to set this kind of dessert at that price. We would happily pay $10+ more if this Halo Halo was made extra special with more loaded ingredients or a taller serving, but there's nothing special in Tea-Rex's version. The Halo Halo was served to our table in front of the Pork & Spoon concession instead of us having to pick it up from the concession, so we appreciate Tea-Rex's customer service. Burlington Food Hall seemed to have a nice casual dining space to enjoy food but its layout of the shops is questionable. We had to go to the back area of the building to find Tea-Rex and the few other spots while Pork & Spoon is very visible in the front area of the hall. We haven't tried any of Tea-Rex's milk teas & other desserts but from what we've seen in its concession, the milk teas look quite generic. Pork & Spoon referred us to them when we asked if they offered Halo Halo, which I thought was a good teamwork between the two shops in Burlington Food Hall. Sadly, neither shops gave us a good reason to revisit this new food hall. I will publish my review of Pork & Spoon soon. As for Tea-Rex NC, their Halo Halo was just disappointing. We rather get the $8+ Halo Halo in the Oriental Store in Raleigh, but that's another story. | Overall Score: 2.0/5
