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.

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.

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 👏

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. ☺️

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 .

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 ,

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.

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 😁

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.

Beside us living in Drogheda .. we are very keen to travel and enjoy the food and atmosphere in this lovely Cafe / restaurant. It has to be at least twentieth time visiting Blend & Batch and overall there is always small que which does NOT mean you will be waiting long ! It is smooth and staff will do all they can to sit you ASAP and then food arrives tasty every single time. Also, coffee —- you can not leave the place without cup of coffee. It is great coffee. All in all, the best food and service not even locally … within couple of counties :) Thank you and see you soon !

Been a few times since my last review so had to update it from 4 to 5 stars. Blend and batch is without doubt the best there is in what is does. It’s clear to see the ownership are constantly seeking ways to improve the business and to ensure every customer has a positive experience. There’s ample high chairs. Space to leave prams. Rain protection if you have to queue outside. Comfy chairs. Big tables to fit everything. Fast and attentive staff. I could go on. On a personal note, I absolutely love the smash burger, it is everything a burger should be. I would legit drive to banbridge just to get it. Highly highly recommend as a brunch/restaurant! One of my favourite places to visit for a meal out with friends. My only pain point is they changed their coffee bean a few years back and went away from supporting local speciality coffee roasters like root&branch etc. If they went back to something like that, and had a real specialty coffee focus, to me it would make them potentially the best coffee shop in the country.
