Natural Blend

Highly RECOMMENDED!!!!! It's wonderful that you're looking for a Jamaican spot. I hope you find a restaurant that you'll enjoy, with delicious food. I wish you the best of luck in your search for a great dining experience. The ackee and SALTFISH was amazing!!!!!!!. The green juice taste very healthy 😋 👌🏽.. definitely going to try their lunch or dinner!!

Best spot—been coming to natural blend at various locations for going on 15 years. Great price, great food. Even just two patties and a sea moss will have you set all day body and mind for under $15. CANNOT be beat

DO NOT GET THE GREEN DRINK!!! Tasted like someone was trying to poison me. I understand that it's not suppose to taste GREAT, but, boy was it just nasty. The food was great. Service from the kitchen staff was good. Front register needs some people skills. Bathroom was not up to par.

The purpose of this review is not to hate or harm this restaurant in any way, shape, or form. That being said, I hope you take this review as an informative review. Atmosphere: The inside says more than what you may perceive from the outside. Bright, organized, and very clean. It is a warm place to go to by yourself or with someone else. It seems more spacious when it is summertime. Unfortunately, there is not much space for a bigger group when it is winter because the backyard patio is closed. Oh, one more thing, be careful with the rounded table by the middle of the restaurant. It moves. Hopefully, they changed it. Service: Very welcoming and patient. At least, that is what I experienced with the lady who took my order. The rest of the employees also seemed pretty welcoming and respectful. Food: I ordered the Curry Chicken Meal(small) and the Kale Mary Smoothie(small). The portion of the Curry Chicken was decent, and its flavors were absolutely on point. The smoothie was great as well. I was very pleased with my order and will be trying their other dishes next time I pass by them. Price: Honestly, their prices are fair. The quality and flavors of the food do compensate their prices.

I love this place. This is a go to spot for me for coffee, and the staff are so friendly and efficient. Their coffee is so so good and always hits the spot. I love my routines, and stopping by Natural Blend has become a part of mine.

We were looking for something to eat after walking the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and decided to give Natural Blend a go. The menu is not all vegan, but is INCREDIBLY clear about what is and is not vegan ie anything with fish is not vegan, else it's vegan. The menu variety is very good, and we were able to try a few totally new things, like the jerk patty. We don't have any vegan jerk or Caribbean options but us, so this was a treat. They also have quite a bit of grab and go goodies. Pictures here is the curry chicken and the black bean burger, both of which were out of this world delicious!

Order from Grubhub today order three plates of curry chicken and Quinoa. The curry chicken taste like nothing dry. The tofu was too watery down taste so so soft it was nasty I mean nasty. Big chunks of tofu. I get my food from Church ave location and Washington Ave location the tofu is way different smaller different texture and way good. I will never order from here again nasty.

I love going to this place I'm going to this place for years they are Seven grain porridge is absolutely astonishing and delicious. I will always order that hands down over any other parts in the entire world because that's absolutely how delicious it is I don't know whose family recipe, who's grandmother, aunt, sister etc is making it but it is absolutely delicious. And please do not get me started on the Jamaican patties there that are absolutely delicious as well. My favorites are hands down the fish and pumpkin. My go to is always the mocha oatmilk latte.

*** Yes, I am an instant fan of this spot. *** A cafe with a tasty, mostly vegan approach. Everything I tried was healthy and delicious. Açaí bowl was huge. It can easily be shared. *** The back patio has a homey touch. ***

I love this place for the food and tasty bites! The coffee is also really great and people here are great too!

Came here after playing tennis at the Jackie Robinson courts and was super happy with my choice! I got the sorrel which was a perfect blend of tart and sweet. I also got the lentil patty which was delicious and filling. I then finished with an eggplant panini and it was sooo good! I will 100% be back soon to get more! They also have plenty of seating and the service is friendly.

The food is always amazing here. This panini sandwich w/ the Caribbean sausage was everything. I usually come in for patties and smoothies as well. The service is great, and usually there's a line. The space is always clean and vibrant. It's a casual dining space.

I truly love this place! There customer service and food is on point. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I mean it's just a great addition to the community and they provide healthy food alternatives!! Food : 4/5 I've had the Caribbean sausage (my fave) and ital stew not a big fan but it's pretty decent and very lightly flavored, quinoa waffles which are (my absolute fave). Service : 4/5 Ambiance : 4/5 You can come and work on a project here they have seating in the back not to big but not to small the music selection is always nice traditionally old classic reggae music which is a vibe in it self def a place to try at least once

I am so upset that I did not see that this was a vegan cafe. I would not have paid $11 for a curry chicken meal if it was not going to be actual chicken! On the scan to order menu there's no note that the meats r soy based very misleading! I was coming on here to complain about the texture of the chicken only to find out it wasn't real. At least I had a good smoothie.

This business is consistent in freshness, great customer service, and quality food. The menu items update and the popular items remain consistent. I'm never disappointed here!

Love love love this place. Cute little local spot with lots of brown faces. They seem friendly enough so the customer service was fair. I do think they could move with more urgency, but it is a very laid back place. But let's get into my order. I only order the peanut power punch with almond milk and the pumpkin pattie. The pattie had the flakiest crust. It was buttery and authentic and the filling was seasoned so so well. I'm a huge pumpkin fan, but they did it justice. The smoothie was so bomb. Like I'm def making it a regular order of mine. Spiced perfectly, cold, perfect consistency, and nothing too crazy. Super filling too. This was a whole meal and I spent about $12

My goodness! This place is SO GOOD ! I'm a Caribbean vegan and the options are plenty. I've been back 3 times including ordering delivery one of those times. I can't get enough! Get there early for the ackee and dumplings. The patty's are so tasty, they just melt in your mouth. The service is quick and efficient. I wish I could have this food everyday!

Delicious smoothies, patties, and juices, and quick service! My go-to lunch spot at work for sure.

I had one smoothie from here. I know everything else have to be delicious. I'll be back. Live, love and laugh -Sha

Love this place the Pattie's are delicious I get the fish one . The shakes are also really nice .

This restaurant is always and will forever be my go to spot when i stop in Brooklyn. Restaurant like this make me miss living in Brooklyn i been going for 4 years and the service is always amazing the food is always on point i can't get enough of this place. I appreciate what this restaurant serves and stand for FRESH FOOD

I love this place. Best smoothies in Bedstuy. The consistency of the smoothies is perfect-- not watery and just thick enough. The staff is always nice and welcoming. They also have a decent amount of seating.

This place is a neighborhood staple. Great vegan food and excellent service. I always feel good after stopping in here.

Got a tropical blend smoothie and a pumpkin pattie.. Delicious! Wish I lived closer to experience this on a regular. Service is definitely at their pace, not yours. So one can practice patience here.

I found this spot by accident and I'm not sorry. I got off the bus, ready to transfer when I saw this bright and interesting place. With this boiling weather all I wanted was something cool and refreshing. It was was really difficult for me to pick something out because there were a lot of good options. Once I finally figured what I wanted I stood where I thought the line began just for some one to come in and get in front of me. Besides that the employees were cool. This place is really busy though but I definitely understand why. I ordered the Matcha' Cado with apple juice as my choice of liquid and omggggg it was amazing! Now that I'm typing this I'm remembering all the details of how great it actually was. It wasn't until I left that I realized they serve vegan food. If I knew that before I definitely would have left with a whole meal. Anyway, I'm looking forward to being in the area again just so I can come back.

Let me start by saying it's a little expensive but the food is good. They have veggie options and in my opinion they season them well. Cause some veggie items from other places taste like dirt. They cook Jamaican style. They have juices, coffee, and some baked goods as well.

Dope Vegan Spot On the walk in; I thought it was a juice spot or a bakery. Walked past the register n found myself in a small fOur table seating area. Beautiful Decor, Fresh smells & fresh inventory even tho it was later in the day it was well kept. Jam rock type vibes from the beautiful painting to music to the colorful vegan options that included traditional Jamaican dishes like jerk chicken & curry chicken but all plant based. They have juIces, salads, plates of food which are a decent size colorful and taste like a regular Jamaican spot... BUT ITS VEGAN! Ha! (I did order salmon ((because I can)) But next time maybe I'll try a burger or the curry. My juice was perfect. I'm not vegan but I enjoyed my visit & left full.

This is a solid neighborhood Vegan cafe. The Kale and Callaloo patties are both divine. A little pricey, but seem to be handmade so I understand. The smoothies are good. I've tried the Caribbean Spicy Sausage as a small bowl recently (with rice and cabbage) and it was pretty filling. Good flavors that came together well and the meal felt worth the price. I've found the service to be inconsistent and the sole reason for my 3 star review. I'm never disappointed in the quality of the food which is why I stop in occasionally. If ordering during peak hours, call ahead for pick up. Things can get pretty busy. Overall, Natural Blend is a strong, tasty option on Malcolm X. Sweeten the service a bit and I see no reason why they shouldn't be able to expand across Brooklyn.

I was in the new Bed Stuy area today and decided to stop by Natural Blends Juice Bar. I most say it did not disappoint. I had a taste for a patty known to many as a. "Jamaican Beef Patty" well if you know Natural Blends no beef no meat sold here, Everything is organic. So I decided to try something new and in season the Pumpkin Patty. I most say it was quite the best choice this season. The pumpkin patty was flavorful and well seasoned. I also enjoyed the kale patty as well. The location is clean and comfortable. They offer a variety of organic smoothies and vegetarian dishes. The prices are reasonable for NYC lifestyle.

First time coming here and since we're on a healthy kick my girlfriend and I decided to come here. She got the peanut shake and I got the immune builder shake. They both were delicious. We brought an skew patty (5.25) which I thought was a bit too pricey! Overall I wouldn't mind coming back. The location is cute and the staff was nice even though we came pretty late

I'm so glad I live around the corner. Literally everything I've gotten here is good: the patties (like rectangular empanadas), the vegan pastries, the jerk chicken bowl, the quinoa waffles with berry topping. Even the chai latte is good. I haven't tried the açaí or smoothies/juices yet, but I'm sure they're great. Also they are like always open, unlike other cafes and restaurants nearby. If you're vegan or veganish, try Natural Blend.

If you're hungry and on a budget I don't suggest getting that $5.25 Ackee patty because you're going to be upset lol. Now it's tasty so I'm not mad at that but price point wise it's a bit too rich for my blood. My girlfriend and I both ordered shakes which was really delicious. All and all out two shakes and the patty was $29 which to me is a lot !! We won't be coming here for daily shakes only when we are trying to splurge.

Best vegan restaurant I've tried since my visit to New York. I highly recommend the jerk chicken! You can NOT tell it is not a meat dish. The curry chicken is also really good, and the macaroni and cheese is so creamy it's hard to believe that it does not contain dairy. The seasonings were authentic Jamaican spices. I also enjoyed the peanut power punch protein shake. Highly recommend this location. Parking. Same as everywhere else in the city....get in where you can fit in :) The restaurant was very clean, small, as the staff was super friendly.

delicious! i got an açaí bowl and my partner got the jerk chicken salad, good portions, super fresh, best chicken i've ever had. everyone was really nice and it's not badly priced! i'm only visiting nyc for a week and will probably be back before i leave lol. also their coffee is smooth and tasty!

I'm so glad to be able to get really good juice near my house. The line to order and pay is a little haphazard, but always works out in the end, and the staff is alway nice - more than I'd be if I were standing in that narrow space behind the counter! I'm so sad that the only Gluten Free snack is the brownies Great place to chill on a weekend afternoon with a good book!

Stopped in yesterday and had such a lukewarm and kind of dangerous experience. I don't think I'll be returning. Needed a quick yet wholesome breakfast and this spot is right in the hood. I ordered a green smoothie with oat milk (a dollar extra), no juice, ackee salt fish, and a blueberry muffin. The flow of this place is terrible. If you want to grab something there's no formal line. And if you're there when the delivery guy is there you'll get pressed against a narrow passageway as his wheels roll over your toes. The young man taking the order's lack of enthusiasm was only matched by his lack of knowledge about what was available on the menu... (at 8am on a Monday?). I digress, the gentleman took my order but couldn't find a good answer when I asked if the pumpkin loaf had nuts. A brief mumble, curious raise of the eyebrow, and a subtle and unknowing shift of his shoulders re-directed me to the safe blueberry muffin. No seed or possible nuts on that. I pay my $20 and then wait for 10 minutes as another worker distractedly made my smoothie in the midst of casual conversation with another patron. Not like I had anywhere to be. Getting home with everything, the ackee and salt fish were good, and the smoothie had the sweetness of apple juice in it despite me asking for oat milk. Where I draw the line however is with the blueberry muffin. I LOVE a good blueberry muffin, but I've NEVER had them made with almond oil or extract. I knew the smell was a bit different than the vanilla I expected to encounter and after taking a single bite my mouth itches uncontrollably. When it comes to food allergies, it can be LIFE or DEATH and this place is notorious for not labeling their potentially allergic items properly and obviously. Adding insult to injury, when I called to get answers I get bounced around a multi-line system like I'm trying to call the IRS. As they say on the line "our estimated wait time is 'we soon come'". Well, not soon enough. Thanks but I'll try to juice spot in the other direction next time or earn the calories waking to Fat Doughnut...

I've been in here twice. The first time I walked in, stood in line for nearly 10 minutes, and walked out because the line didn't move an inch. This was in the late morning - it seemed to be a combo of them being understaffed and just being extremely slow with making orders. Second time I walked in, I had better luck with the line. I asked the young guy taking my order if they had decaf espresso. He told me they did. I ordered and paid for a decaf americano. I went to the area where you wait to pick up your items (Side note: the flow of traffic on the inside is absolutely awful. You'll have no idea where to stand or move if you're going there for the first time so good luck with that). After a few minutes, the young lady making my drink asks me if I ordered the decaf americano - I tell her yes. She tells me that they don't have decaf espresso and in her next breath tells me that they just got a bag of decaf beans that same morning but she doesn't want to open the bag for me. I - what? Why would you say something like that to a customer? I didn't want to make a fuss and ask for a refund because I was short on time so I just took the caffeinated drink instead. Not returning here again.

While visiting a friend in the neighborhood I came across this vegan gem. Great atmosphere, music and energy. I order 2 patties ( kale and lentil) both were hot and flaky! I had a fresh pressed juice that was really good and the ginger had a hell of a bite!! The longer I stayed the more items I wanted to try. I ended up getting a piece of pumpkin bread, it was a little brown on top but had good flavor and it was moist. Plenty of plugs to charge and WiFi. Outdoor seating in the back. Great prices. I would definitely recommend this place and I can't wait to return.

My go-to for fresh pressed juice in Brooklyn. Don't be surprised if there's a line, it moves fast. From smoothies to juices to wheat grass shots, it's all delicious. And they also have food... had a few bites of a lentil patty. Soooo good. Definitely a key BedStuy establishment.

Such a hidden gem! My friend suggested we stop by because she raved about how amazing the curry chicken was. She definitely wasn't joking! The price was super adorable and an added bonus was how friendly the staff was. I will definitely have to make my way back to try more things on the menu!

So sad this place isn't near my job or I don't live closer. I'd be here several times a week if that were the case. I finally tried some of the food. Ital stew is perfect if you wanna do vegan but you're trying to do vegetable centric meals--Lima beans, okra, chickpeas, and potato in a curry stew. It's served with brown rice and peas and a tiny bit of cabbage. I also ordered the vegan mac and cheese. While I must say I wish there was more pepper and salt in both, I decided holding back on the sodium was probably a good idea at least for tonight. The space is welcoming and relaxing with mellow reggae tunes in the background. Lots of room for groups of 2 and a communal table out in the lovely backyard. The staff are all so pleasant too. Didn't want to leave so I ordered the 'Exotic Urge' smoothie which was SO good. Rich and creamy and textured--mango, banana, goji berries and other good things I can't recall atm. I love that they only use almond or rice milk. They even have coffee and acai bowls, which I'll have to come back for. I'm rambling and fan girling at this point, but just come. You won't be disappointed.

Service was quick and fast. Cashier was inviting and friendly guaranteeing my experience would be a treat. I ordered the Peanut Power Punch it was delicious. 10$ for a large was a perfect price for me. Will be returning.

Left me waiting for my order while they helped those who came in after me so sad I used to really like this place but for someone who comes in everyday you'd expect better service lol they chose to make like 4 orders who came in after me because of favoritism

Came here 2 days in a row! The first night i came they ran out of parries so I ended up getting a bowl of lo mein. It was good , though it could've used some sauce of sorts to moisten the noodles as i ate them. The following morning I did get to order some cornmeal porridge as well as my patty. The patty i got was the pumpkin patty and was sooooo yummy! Not too much filling oozing everywhere and the crust was perfectly flaky. The porridge was soooo good and the consistency was perfect. Wishing they were opened today so I could try something else! The service was quick and friendly.

So excited for a vegan restaurant in my neighborhood. The service is excellent and the food is even better. Their orange delight juice was the truth. My only complaint is that there is no seating for a party of 3. I know, there's limited seating and it was packed on today (Saturday at noon). So, all things considered, it wasn't that much of an issue to warrant anything less than 5 stars :-). I see there is a patio area in the back and I look forward to experiencing that when it's warmer outside.

I've been to the Bed-stuy location twice and it is now a local fave! This restaurant sells Jamaican style breakfast such as ackee and saltfish but with spelt dumplings (healthy yay) and different types of porridge like cornmeal. I took my boyfriend there on Saturday and he loved it. Their smoothies and fresh juices are also good. Last time I went, I had the small jerk chicken dinner with a side of Mac. I wasn't 100% a fan of the Mac but the dinner was so yummy. Besides the food, the customer service is great and they'll even walk you through the menu. There is seating but good luck finding a seat as it is always packed (which is a good thing). If you like plant based or vegan food, this place is good you.

I love their fish and chicken veggie patties. I always stop by when I am in bed stuy. The service is always very warm and friendly..there is not a minimum on debit card use. I also have orders through uber eats . I had the veggie spare ribs meal and the pineapple chicken. Both were to die for (super filling, delicious and savory)

Customer service itself is just badddddddddddd I go out to eat for the expierience and idk why you have bitter people working for your establishment I encountered a lot of bad service at this location, there's actually been too many times I've encountered bad service as if it were personal which I don't get because I always greet them with a smile, expected tho. Their staff is just miserable wouldn't want unhappy people serving customers Would not recommend, anybody can cook but I need great service with it as well; can't enjoy my food with a bad attitude

I can not rave about this place enough. Everything was absolutely excellent. I ordered the curry chick'n meal with a chick'n patty and a chocolate bliss smoothie.. I barely had finished the patty when I realized I was going to be needing a second one because that first one was all around perfection. My boyfriend ordered the citrus pull ribs meal and he loved it. If ever in Brooklyn again, this place will be the first and possibly only on our food list! Thank you for the hospitality and delicious food!!

The food is great but the subpar customer service and lack of organization may leave a very bad taste in your mouth.

i got a fish cake and come to find out it is soy!!!! i am allergic to soy! !!!!!!stop advertising something its not !!!! call it a soy patty . stop saying chicken and it's not!!! call it what it is not what not!!!! that god i didn't end up in the hospital!!!!!!! but i did get sick!!!

Food- I had the jerk chicken with rice and veg. The jerk chicken was cut up in cubes and it looked like beef. It didn't have much gravy on it, that made it kind of dry. It was chewy and tasted okay. The rice was dry, even with some gravy it was dry. The veggies tasted good. Service- the service wasn't so good. I mean, the staff were really nice and polite. But, they kept forgetting when we asked for things. So, we had ordered our food. Everything came except the drinks. We had to ask like 3 times. The 3rd time they said they forgot. And finally gave us our drink when we were almost done with our good. Dry food without a drink is pretty bad . But the taste of the food was good. I also told the guy there to give me some water with ice, but never received that either.

This is the best Green juice I've had in awhile. It's the perfect amount of Kale, Lemon, and Ginger. I also was recommended a veggie jerk patty. The staff are very friendly and efficient. I will be back! Thank you!

Really good good. Terribly slow service for juice. Like 45 minute wait every time. Only go if you have a lot of time to spare

Last meal in Brooklyn - and probably one of the best! While it may just look like a bakery and smoothie joint from the outside it's really a lovely little neighborhood restaurant with a Caribbean Claire! Plantain porridge with fresh berries and clove, a wide array of smoothies both healthy and decadent and savory meat and lentil pies. And yes, some yummy looking baked goods and good coffee list. Super nice staff, limited seating but enough. Not a huge menu but one will not be disappointed. A little pricey but worth the satisfied stomachs!

Food looked Appealing in the photos. Customer service was horrible. Woman at counter didn't answer any of my questions about the ingredients in the food and was very dismissive would not recommend

I had the best vegan Caribbean breakfast ever here! It was actually the best breakfast in general that I've had in awhile. Although the place caters to vegans, there is a few non-vegan options including the codfish options. Some of the baked goods are also not vegan as well. Nevertheless, next time instead of grabbing doubles and aloo pie from a carry out and eating it quickly in the cold, I'm going to come here for a nice sit down with some fresh organic food. The space is narrow but still surprisingly open. The staff seem to take pride in their work, and the food is amazing. I recommend the ackee and saltfish, the dumplings, and breadfrult. They've also got some tasty smoothies. They're known for their juices and smoothies which I'll have to go back and try more of before I can really speak to them, but be back, I will soon.

I should not have to wait 20 mins for my food. This is EVERY TIME i come in i mean it could be a juice and i still have to wait 20 mins!
