The Blend (Central Ave) Coffee and Cocktails

Owners please step up this location is falling apart 😪

This was a regular spot for me on my way to work, stopped coming in shortly before the hurricane. So I’ve been craving my fruity pebbles drink for A LONG TIME. At one point was even going to order the lavender syrup and make it myself. Well today I had a few extra dollars and decided to treat myself. If you’ve ever ordered the fruity pebbles you know the drink is a milky purple, looks beautiful. Well today that’s not what I got. I got what looked like a regular coffee. I was kinda upset cause I was looking forward to the purple. I’m including a screenshot of the drink off their mobile order website to show what it’s supposed to look like. When I told the lady at the window it’s supposed to be purple they said they don’t do the dye anymore… if that’s the case maybe you should update your online photos to reflect that. It also doesn’t really taste the same either. Kinda disappointed… edited to add that I also ordered their bacon gluten free breakfast sandwich and got sausage instead and no cheese…. It seems like this location is starting to go downhill based on all the other reviews. I think maybe the owners need to step in and see what’s up

Very nice, friendly people working there. I was the only customer, mid afternoon on a Fri. The coffee was pricey, mediocre, warm -- I'd driven away, so didn't ask for it to be heated. I won't go again because I can get better, hotter coffee for a better price elsewhere.

We've heard really good things about this place and were excited to try it. We had a coffee flight, which is a great way to sample multiple flavors. Some were good, one we didn't care for, and overall we thought it was over-priced for the tiny amounts of coffee you receive. It also was difficult to figure out what to order, as there wasn't a printed menu to read.

Asked for cold foam didn't get it, Everytime no matter what size it's like milk with a hint of espresso.

This morning I went to the drive through, my first time at this location. It was 7:30 a.m. I was tired and ordered a cold brew hot. The ladies working there were accommodating and sweet. They wished me a wonderful day. I appreciated that a lot.
My cold/hot brew was delicious, she walked me through what ingredients I wanted.
Thank you Ladies

As a treasure island resident, The Blend was once a regular stop for me on the weekends, but after my interaction with the staff today I’ll never go back. Multiple paying patrons were essentially chased away while trying to buy coffee…all of us confused. I’ll happily support another local business.

literally incredible

I'd really like to like The Blend, but the quality of lattes for the price, the baristas need more training on how to steam milk. There is 2-3 inches of milk foam not even filled close to the top, my 16 oz latte feels 2/3 empty. It isn't a cappuccino. For almost $6, I'd rather go to Kraft across the street because I know it's made properly. It is a very Dunkin Dunuts latte.

Great latte! Fast line! Kind servers :)

Never gotten so much smoothie for such an affordable price! Delicious thanks for being awesome!

Wow this place is good. They have the strongest iced lattes I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. It’s like jet fuel. Got a 16oz iced vanilla latte and an Asiago bagel sandwich with bacon. Hit the spot. Cheaper and so much better than
