    Listen, i don't really drink smoothies like that. But I came here once last week because I was thirsty and I am back again, a week later! I must say I may be hooked on this one particular smoothie because of its taste and texture. I will venture off of the creation I created known as the "Freedom of Pineapple" (just substitute the mango) on my next visit.

    This place may burn a whole in my wallet if i'm not careful. But I would definitely recommend if you're a smoothie or boba enthusiast!

    EDIT: After receiving constructive criticism from my coworkers I have decided to change the wording of my review and rethink the experience in the establishment.

    The blend is a coffee shop that serves smoothies, coffee, boba, and a few other drinks. This review is only targeted towards my experience with their boba. I'm sure their other drinks are good, it's just I didn't like how they told me that they were out of boba and didn't offer to make more since it's on their menu.

    I had a meeting here so I was excited to venture to a new boba and coffee joint. Like at any boba place, I had to try their boba milk tea first. If they can't get a milk tea right, I'd rarely want to give them another choice. When I ordered, they told me the boba was cooking and wouldn't be ready for another 20 minutes. Talk about a bummer! I still opted for the black tea minus the boba. I waited almost 20 minutes for my drink to come out. Unfortunately, there was one worker and she was taking orders and making drinks. You go, girl! Fortunately, I had time to kill or else, I would've been annoyed for the time I had to wait.

    The verdict? Not bad but I'm not going to say it is great either. Compared to some of the other places I've gone to recently, I could taste the tea flavor. Also, it wasn't exorbitantly sweet either, which is a plus for me. My socks weren't knocked off but I wasn't offended either.

    I am curious to try some other drinks to see how they taste. After my experience, they are a place I wouldn't want to judge on the milk tea alone. I guess that says something about this place! I wouldn't get the smoothies because I saw that they use powder to make them. My milk tea was 3.55 for a small. If boba was available, it would cost an additional 55 cents. A small is comparable to a 12-16 oz drink.

    In summary, if I'm in the area and desperate for a boba or beverage, I could see myself coming back, especially if I'm on campus. It is a cute place to hang out with a group or to study. You can even tilt your head back and take a nap. That's at least what I saw someone do when I was there!

    this place needs to shut down. what the hell is this? ALL of the food was incorrect and TERRIBLE. the burrito was stuck to the paper wrapping and all fell apart. none of the bagels were toasted and they didnt even give us cream cheese. like thanks for the f***ing bread i guess? coffee was good tho. but yeah this place sucks ass and should shut down.

    This place needs more employees.  Maybe it was an off day, but waited for 20 minutes or longer for a drink.  No heads up it would take a while and finally had to ask for a refund and leave.
