BKLYN BLEND

21 Great Black-Owned Coffee Shops In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Bklyn Blend is a cafe and juice bar on Tompkins Avenue right in the middle of Bed-Stuy. And while it’s important that you know they have an excellent golden chai latte, plus several kinds of Jamaican patties and sandwiches to help you survive the colder months, you should also keep Brooklyn Blend on your radar for incredible smoothies to help you thrive during spring and summer. They also have a second location in East New York." - will hartman, bryan kim, kenny yang

"Bklyn Blend is a cafe and juice bar on Tompkins Avenue right in the middle of Bed-Stuy. And while it’s important that you know they have an excellent golden chai latte, plus several kinds of Jamaican patties and sandwiches to help you survive the colder months, you should also keep Brooklyn Blend on your radar for incredible smoothies to help you thrive during spring and summer. They also have a second location in East New York. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"I had a sit-down meeting with a newly elected councilman named Chi Ossé in my district who’s representing Bed-Stuy and northern Crown Heights. We went to BKLYN Blend, which is my go-to hangout spot for meetings in Bed-Stuy. It’s good shakes, it’s healthy food, it’s Black owned, and it’s near my house."

Where NYC’s Restaurant And Bars Should Go Next As They Rebuild | Eater NY

"I would love to see more establishments like BKLYN Blend — a Black-owned business in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant that serves healthy, affordable food to local residents — and use this recovery period to pivot away from the old paradigm of processed and fast-food outlets in low-income Black and Brown communities toward greater local ownership and healthy, locally sourced options." - Eater Staff

"A juice-and-smoothie shop offering seasonal blends with playful local names; the seasonal “Fort Greene Park” juice blends melon, lemon, mint and agave (though it was out of watermelon that day), while a standard smoothie built from strawberries, banana and pineapple is commonly offered with protein add-ins—on one visit the shop substituted peanut butter when vegan protein powder was unavailable." - Alan Sytsma
