The food isn’t gonna knock your socks off or anything but it’s a good quick and healthy meal right near Penn/MSG. Nobody at all in there when I went in around 6:30pm on a Saturday

Exactly as promised: fresh, friendly, welcoming. We got a falafel grain bowl and a natural grain bowl. Portions are generous - maybe more than a single person can do at lunch (not a complaint, just a heads up! ) . Hummus was tasty, falafel done perfect, veggies generous and def fresh. Cold brew iced and ice tea both done well. What a gem of a place! *(Pic is after if already started to demolish lunch)

A really nice place with great, healthy food and smoothies. I especially loved the Avococo Shake and the Chicken Cesar salad, but there's a lot to choose from on the menu. Highly recommended!

Not worth spending almost $30 on a soup and large juice. Lack of customer service and overall mediocre. Def a tourist trap. There are plenty of other places in the area that are more reasonably priced with a staff that has some what of a personality. This was lacking at all levels. One and done here, was trying out something new today.

If you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal in New York City, GREEN BLEND / Balanced Food on 8th Avenue is a fantastic choice. I recently visited this spot during a busy afternoon, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the overall experience.
The menu focuses on clean eating with a great selection of salads, smoothies, bowls, and wraps. I ordered a quinoa bowl with grilled chicken, avocado, kale, and a tangy lemon tahini dressing — everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. The portion size was generous and left me feeling full but not heavy. They also offer a wide range of vegan and gluten-free options, which makes it perfect for people with dietary restrictions.
What really stands out is the attention to detail. The ingredients are clearly high-quality, and the presentation is clean and appealing. The staff was friendly and patient, helping me customize my order to my preferences. The interior is modern and calming — a nice escape from the noise outside.
Prices are reasonable for the area and quality you get. I’d definitely recommend GREEN BLEND to anyone who wants a nutritious and flavorful meal without compromising on taste.
Hours say open until 11:30pm. I come in at 11:20pm. All I want is a smoothie. That’s it. Rude woman at the counter says they are closed.
I told her it’s not 11:30. She said it didn’t matter, they were closed.
The guys behind the counter were still making orders! It’s not like they were finished and cleaning up.
Super rude woman. Won’t be returning.

It’s a nice, cozy restaurant with a well-thought-out design that creates a green, eco-friendly atmosphere. The place is clean and well kept, and the food menus are clearly visible for ordering. Although there is seating available, most customers seem to place takeaway orders. The food tastes a bit bland; adding the right touch of flavor would improve it significantly. Still, it’s worth visiting if you’re in the area to enjoy the cool atmosphere over a meal.
