Blend & Batch in Banbridge

We had lunch and the brunch rolls were very tasty.they use local produce.

Very friendly staff. Had a lovely burger, really nice, wife had buttermilk chicken, good chicken, bathroom was spotless.... will go again.

Only 1 thing I was upset about there was only 1 scone I wanted .I ordered it but some one else sold it .staff should have took it of the shelf 😞

My husband researched and planned to eat here en route to a 25th anniversary weekend hotel break. There was a queue outside, so we waited for about 25 minutes before going inside. It was cold and windy, a man in front told us it was worth the wait, he was joined by his partner holding a baby- which I felt was totally understandable before entering the cafe. What I was very annoyed with was a couple just in front of him on reaching the door to go in was then joined by four more people skipping the entire queue of people outside. Coffee was cold, pieces of shell was in my poached egg but flavours were good and these things don’t normally bother me. I was not asked how everything was on paying the bill and my husband asked me to say nothing. Infact I have never written a negative review before. However I do feel if people are expected to queue, the staff member should have at least said to the extra people all in their 20s that they should have been queuing like everyone else. This would definitely put me off this place in future.

Food was amazing the staff were lovely

Lovely breakfast and service. Only issue is it’s pretty packed in so you feel like you’re having a conversation with the stranger table next to you

Great choice of menu options very tasty

The Korean burger was the best burger I have ever tasted 10 out of 10. Service fast

We did takeaway since it was cold out and the queue was quite long

Went on a Sunday around 1. Queue out the door but didn’t have to wait long, 15 mins tops. Got seated upstairs. Very friendly staff who took food and drinks order. We had a table of 8 in front of us, which we were informed of, just if there was a wait on food. It still arrived in max 20 mins which was great. Tasted brilliant, I had the veggie brunch bap. Highly recommend

Called in late afternoon, Party of 3. I was surprised by both the variety and the nuisance of the menu. 3 mains, 1 side, 3 drinks & 2 take away buns for under £60, I think that's pretty good going in today's pricing nightmare. Coffee and the food was very tasty definitely worth a visit.

Food was generally very good, coffee lovely and the service was excellent if somewhat slow.

Great gluten free menu. Very helpful staff about gluten intolerance!

Food was great service was also good.

Really Really good food and lovely friendly staff. Excellent experience.

This place is amazing! The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly. Very good service overall and very clean place! We actually got 2 meals takeaway as we wanted to try everything!! Highly recommend :)

Had the greatest burger of my life Honey chicken burger

Well worth a visit when in banbridge, excellent menu and first class service, never disappoints

This place is amazing. Food beautiful and staff so pleasant and helpful. This is a great spot to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

Worth the wait! One of the best breakfasts we’ve ever had! The coffee was delish and then we both had steak and eggs which were amazing, rare and really luxe at a great price. We also shared a rhubarb porridge which was so unexpectedly delicious and I’ve been craving it ever since. The queue system doesn’t really work as we were only two and stuck behind large groups of 4-8people per group and we could have been having a look at the menu in the queue to save anymore waiting. But I’m glad we did end up waiting and I’d come back!

Excellent customer care..No matter what we asked for staff were so friendly helpful.. Suggested other menus and great choice.. Brilliant experience..Thanks..

Excellent stop on the road from Dublin to Belfast. Brilliant scones. Good baby changing. Friendly and reasonably priced.

Lovely place and lovely staff. They honoured a gift voucher I had forgotten about and let me use it even though it was out of date! The food was amazing too!

This is without question a well run restaurant. From the moment you are greeted at the door you will have a good experience. Warm well mannered staff who are always on the go. Tables are cleaned and cleared around you at speed and without you being washed with a spay gun of disinfectant! Food is always beautiful and good portions. And as if that is not enough the gluten free selection is great. The chips aren’t fried in the same oil as gluten containing foods so you won’t be sick before you get home! All in all it’s excellent try it! Well done managers and team keep up the good work 😊

One of the best meals we've had on our trip to Ireland so far

Table of 4 tonight. Food very tasty and good portion size. Staff all very friendly and attentive. All in all a great night out.

Excellent as always , beautiful vegetarian menu,staff are excellent.Our go to place now for date night.

There always seems to be a queue of people outside anytime I drive past so thought I'd give it a go. We were seated quite promptly and the staff were friendly. Coffee was great, food was ok but not worth queuing for. There's better nearby.

Lovely coffee, and they do gluten-free food, which my friend liked. Staff are friendly and attentive. Nice decor and child friendly.

Lovely cafe, lots of food choices on the menu, all day brunch available and great selection of cakes. Big selection of cakes and desserts too. Great place for mums with small children or babies.

Have been to blend and batch a good few times and have felt compelled to review the food and the service. On every occasion the food is top notch even though very busy all the time which is a great sign. My main complement is to the staff. In every visit each member of staff have been so polite and helpful and for me this makes the difference in a good and bad experience. To each and every member of staff a huge thank you for all your great work and the kitchen staff who we don’t see preparing great food. Look forward to our next visit soon.

Great service and food. .disappointing visit last week when I only had euros in cash and was disappointed to be asked to leave something valuble as security by manager while I go to find the post office to change currency.do I look like a thief? I needed up buying a bottle of water in a business across the road to get sterling to pay.

Lovely atmosphere and staff are lovely

Wonderful little restaurant st the top of the town Highly recommended Great menu Great taste And excellent staff Go go go

Excellent coffee and clean place

Food was served long before our coffees arrived,we tried to hold back on eating our. breakfast ,our breakfast was getting cold , two different staff came over to say them were sorry as they said they were busy with takeout orders ,I have been in regular as we travel 10mile to go as we like this place ,

Was cash only on the day we visited. The place was busy but the tables were not being cleared and cleaned so the place was somewhat scruffy. I will say the coffee and food was great.

Wonderful but expensive for casual dining.

Friendly staff and spotlessly clean

Delicious and nutritious food in a cute spot!

Very friendly staff and great options for vegans and vegetarians! Nice vibes inside. Genuinely the nicest breakfast I've had in a long time. Would definitely recommend!

Staff are lovely, food is excellent

One of our favorite places to have breakfast while we were home from America. There can be a wait time and line outside so be mindful of that.

I'd normally give you 4 or 5 stars but today it's 3. As someone who gets a coffee daily with you when I'm back home, I found it unacceptable today to be told I would have to wait 10-15 minutes for a take out coffee. If you're busy you're busy (and you were today as always which says alot about what a great place this is) but then have another person to do coffee so take out coffees can be done in a reasonable time. Asking a customer to wait 10 to 15 mins is not acceptable. I didn't wait.

Great food option, extremely friendly and welcoming staff

The coffee was nice and the scones were OK. Found the staff verging on rude but definitely uninterested in taking our order. The place was busy, lots of yummy mummy's and people taking photos. It's probably the trendy place to go. I'll visit again and see if the service is any better. Oh, wear a coat it's freezing inside.

Great atmosphere, food, and an easy break on the drive from Dublin to Belfast.

Visited for first time in two years as live outside Northern Ireland now. Brilliant as always, service is personable and the grilled cheese sourdough is to die for. Great coffee and sweet treats too. A great spot if you're ever in Banbridge.

Great food and service. Friendly staff.

Lovey place for a catch-up service is great coffee food and bakes also.

Great spot for a tasty bite. Great breakfast/brunch and lunch options. Good service. Not to be missed if you are in the area. Don't let the queue outside put you off, they have a great turnaround time without making you feel pressured to leave.

The smartie cookies are fantastic.. especially with the coffee. I'll be back.

Food nice... Got expensive 🫰... But still nice

Great food and the staff were fantastic. The one downside was the wait. Not the wait to get in. The wait to order. The food was delicious. I had the mushroom and truffle on toast. Delicious. I will definitely be back.

Buttermilk chicken to die for! Staff are extremely friendly and attentive, food is reasonably priced and delicious.

Have been a couple of times now, really excellent food, waited quite a while for food the second time but will definitely be back

Food was served very quick ,was lovely 1st time there for most of the ladies except myself ,staff were lovely ,nothing was a problem, we will be back ,

Had a lovely meal. Scampi tacos were delicious! Olivia was our server and she was so helpful! The macarons we had with our coffee were out of this world!!

This place is always packed and now I know why. The food and service were both incredible with attentive staff checking on us regularly. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of ingredients. I ordered the weekly special of Korean Fried Chicken and Waffles, and my fiancée ordered poached eggs/ Smashed avocado on sourdough with feta. Both looked beautiful and tasted even better. Hats off to the chefs & the waiting/ coffee shop staff 👏

As locals in Banbridge we find Blend &Batch is the place for all times of the day from just a coffee to go to meeting up with friends for food at any time of the day or evening The place to go in Banbridge for excellent atmosphere, service and food. You will never get a bad meal in Blend&Batch

Blend & Batch - First time after a long planning.. I had weekly Special - Korean BBQ Chicken Waffles.. Flavourful & Delicious.. Good choice of Sauce & salad makes it Special 🤤 Chai Latte was another Classic taste maker among the Menu 👌🏻 Now I know why there is a long queue coz it is Worth waiting for Good Food ☺️

Had this place saved for a while it was finally time to try and it did not disappoint. Travelled just under 30mins to get to the place but worth it, parking was a slight issue as it was the weekend and we had to wait in the queue, but it didn't take too long. Had the smashed avocado with bacon and my partner had the wild mushroom sourdough and shared the croissant french toast which was the special for the week.🤤 Everything we ate was lovely. The customer service was next to none. Lots of choices from the hot food menu. Something for everyone, vegetarian, vegan and low gluten options are offered. Great selection of sweet treats and herbal teas. Highly recommend if in the area. ☺️

the staff are very friendly and helpful, the food was tasty

Great location being clise to bus station. Bright dining area. Staff excellent. Great food

First time visiting, won't be the last, lovely relaxed atmosphere went coming in, very helpful staff, and the food is fantastic and the best thing is that you have an extensive Vegan menu, not many places do this, will definitely be recommending you to my friends

Food very good range. Service was little slow on a busy day. But kind, talkative waiters, overall good atmosphere.

The food is exceptional. Staff are friendly and very good service. Nice ambience that’s relaxing and chilled. Definitely visit again!

5 star service - excellent, prompt, efficient, friendly, helpful staff. Excellent food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Decided to go to this establishment for food , very disappointed , after driving 40min to get there , 15min more round & round laps of the the town to get the car parked , got the kids out the car & ready for food , in the door @4:08pm to be informed by the quite pleasant staff member , the kitchen closes from 4pm to 5pm for some incomprehensible reason . I don't understand why this would be necessary to close the kitchen for one hour & to refuse custom for hot food in a fully staffed restaurant for 1hr every day . It simply makes no sense & looking at the reviews I'm not the only person to have been disappointed & commented on this subject in a review. For the record if this has happened to you I can highly recommend Safari Restaurant across the road does an excellent 2 course early bird deal from 4-6 was delicious. Doubt I'll be back to try Blend Batch anytime soon ,

Very disappointed in this place, no point in posting a detailed review as whoever runs the social media likes to chastise & belittle customers , all I'll say is Google doesn't have a separate place for kitchen opening hours as nobody with any common sense closes their fully staffed kitchen for an hour a day just before tea time to give their kitchen staff a little rest mid their outrageously long 8 HR day (poor them I wish I only had to work 8hr shift with a wee 1hr paid break) Never the less there will be some long winded & unfunny response to this review by B&B .

Cannot pass this place anytime I am near Banbridge. Staff are always lovely and food is amazing too. No wonder it’s always busy - you have all done a great job.

Went here with my hubby!! He was so excited because we had talked about this place so much! Had the most DELICIOUS breakfast pancake with bacon bits! Mmmmm! We had a WONDERFUL server I forgot her name now but she had a beautiful baliage!!! I loved it here

Waiting outside for 30 minutes before being allowed inside, then waiting 10 minutes eventually left at that stage as no one could be bothered to take our order! During our wait 19 people left without anymore people being allowed in. Absolutely terrible customer service. Will never be back

Coffee was pretty good, always seems busy.

Great spot! Friendly staff, great food and gooood coffee!

Loved the food (I had shakshuka), but the portion size was rather small. We were also waiting for menus for a good while. The place itself is very welcoming and designed nicely.

Все дуже чудово! Рекомендую усім!

Cute cafe with options for eat in and take away. Quick service and excellent bakery options

Every time we are here food is fantastic, never had issues of any kind , also food quality is consistently very good . Just to mention also team is extremely friendly and helpful.

Food was lovely, can’t complain it was excellent. Did feel a little awkward when we arrived as we hadn’t realised two girls on the bench outside were queuing and had came inside so as to not wait out in the cold with our baby, we were quickly ushered back outside feeling awkward that it was implied we were being queue jumpers, all the young girls who served us were fantastic and the food was fantastic but whoever was on the door on 6/11/23 was maybe just having a bad day but she looked super dooper annoyed with us, we almost left but decided not to and we were glad we stuck around.

Great food-great service-well priced!👍

Great environment for a cafe, it literally has everything you would want. Amazing food with so much on the menu, great coffee and really nice staff who are incredibly friendly. The manger Jessica is always so helpful and make you feel welcome. I would go with friends to catch up over lunch or go solo and work from Blend and batch. Both are always a good experience All in, its a brilliant cafe no matter what you are after

The fact that there is always a queue here speaks volumes to its excellent food options and service. Their range of baked goods in the window is excellent and the vegan superseeded bar, in particular, is *unreal*. Their website is also excellent. Highly recommend visiting!

Nice coffee and well decorated cafe.

Great place food was delicious, service was fast and there was a nice vibe

Dog tolerant, not dog friendly. I arrived here with my dog yesterday and was told that the only dog friendly table was in use by customers without a dog. I was then asked if I wanted to sit outside which I agreed to because I’d travelled 25 minutes to get there, despite it being chilly. I was told to walk around the back to get to the terrace, not to go through the cafe. I was seated and got my food and coffee which were both very nice. My dog got a bowl of water and a sausage and was treated kindly by a different member of staff. When I went inside to pay, staff members gave dirty looks because I brought my dog inside. Overall, nice food but don’t advertise you’re dog friendly if you’re not.

Food was amazing but it was quite noisy inside.

We just arrived and got a table straight away. Service was quick and efficient. The menu had some lovely options. Our choices were absolutely smashing. Loved the restaurant . Will definitely be back.

Blend and Batch is a restaurant on the corner of Banbridge's main street. It is super popular and for good reason! The interior is fresh and feels very on trend. They have a full vegan menu for both lunch and dinner. We tried the salt & chilli tempura florets poke bowl which was fabulous. The tempura florets were crispy and delicious and matched perfectly with the fresh vegetables and sauce. We also had the Mediterranean grilled cheese which was lovely. I usually don't enjoy vegan cheese but found this delicious and would definitely order it again. The bread was great and the cheese was melted inside with some great toppings. We were served by Jordan who was brilliant and made sure that everything went perfectly. Overall a delicious lunch at a very reasonable price! We will be back for sure 😁

Great coffee, great food, great vibes.

I love this place, there's something for everyone here. I want to keep going back so I can try everything on the menu. Great takeaway coffee. Really organised and nice staff even when it's busy.

Blend n batch has a nuce atmosphere, though regularly busy. Food is of a good standard however I would like more choice on the menu or maybe a different choice. Service is always great and I love their cocktails, best in town.

Food was served very quickly. Very tasty. Friendly and efficient staff.

Great selection of pastries and breakfast / lunch options. Some tasty Vegan dishes. Perfect stop before or after traveling to Belfast. Staff are very conscious of customers dietary restrictions.

Lovely place to eat , with a good loyalty discount. Tip : If you get tea pour it quick and ask for more water immediately. One of our favourites places to visit . Smash burger in the evening is delicious Never disappointed, staff are always lovely .

Excellent espresso martini mind. Always a good shout when a cafe serves one. All of the food was banging but the piece de la resistance was this Whoopie Pie I got to take away. Very good indeed. Overall a bloody lovely time I'd say.

A very lovely experience. Love the layout of the restaurant, and everything felt very clean. Staff were lovely, so kind and quick with service. No complaints!

Lovely food , friendly efficient staff, light airy ,modern decor.. Short wait for a table on a Monday but this is testament to the popularity of this establishment. Thoroughly recommend it.

Food was top drawer. Fantastic

Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. I got the chicken flatbread. The chicken was crispy but a little dry. Would have been nice with more sauce. The curry aioli/sauce it comes with is an odd pairing in my opinion. I didn't ask if it could be changed as I wanted to try it but I don't think there would have been any issues getting it changed. I'd have preferred garlic mayo.
