The girls working were very kind and knowledgeable about the vegan options, but realistically there are only 3 fruit smoothie options, and none are the ‘fun’ flavors like cookie dough or peanut butter pie. They do have vegan vanilla protein but I was advised to only do a vanilla shake if I wanted that as the whey protein really makes the flavor of the shakes ie the cookie dough whey protein = cookie dough shake. I wish there were more vegan options for the flavored shakes especially when the restaurant advertises their vast vegan options!

I absolutely love this place! My favorite smoothies are the mint chocolate chip and cinnamon toast crunch. Their bowls are also delicious. This is one of the only places in the Cincinnati area to get a protein smoothie without all the added junk and it tastes THE BEST! The only drawback is they need to bring back Black Raspberry Chip Smoothie!

The staff is so underwhelming. I dunno if Cincinnati is just glum but these kids look like they can barely bother.They do a good job, product is quick and great but I've been 4 times and I can tell you for sure who the manager is.All the smoothies are sweet if you don't make your own.

After witnessing Austin be talked down to by another customer, I just wanted to give him the kudos he deserves for how well he handled the situation. We need more smiles like his in the face of adversity.

Fantastic service and yummy smoothies. I was very impressed with the menu of protein smoothies... sooooo many flavors to choose from. I ordered the Blueberry Cake Donut and Strawberry Shortcake and was not disappointed. I look forward to visiting Cincinnati again so I can try other flavors from here.

Better Blend is elite. I recommend the Cinnamon Roll blend with blueberries, energy, and honey.
I ordered from one of these locations because I love smoothie bowls and was very happy with what I got the first few times I've prefer it, however, I just realized they're charging 0.50 per topping and you're required to pick 4 toppings? I am not sure why you would charge AND require a certain amount of toppings on top of the bowl being $8+ also. Seems a little absurd. Needless to say I'm going to order elsewhere.

This is my new go-to breakfast and/or lunch. Strawberry Shortcake is my absolute favorite, but I'm looking forward to trying some others. Highly recommend to those that want to start the New Year off to a fresh start by eating healthy.

Okay, okay-- it's about time I write a TEN STAR review for this place seeing as I go every single day when I'm home! Let me ask you something... where else (not just in Cincinnati, but in all of America tbh...) can you buy an Acai Bowl FOR under $10 with toppings, no added sugar, and legit the fastest service you've ever had anywhere of any type of food... the answer is literally NOWHERE in the country other than at Better Blend in DT Cincy. I consider myself a walking billboard for Better Blend's Acai bc I order a Super Bowl everyday (YUM!) with my four toppings for $9.99, and I walk across the city with it-- to my home, to my office, to Fountain Square, into OTHER restaurants to meet friends (ooops!)--and everyone who sees it can't help but ask "Woah, where'd you get that!?" Because it's THAT delicious and refreshing looking! I'll add some pics here but know this is just a fraction of our outings together lol. This is not the kind of place people generally stay and eat. I'd recommend ordering to-go... but with service like theirs, you could quite literally double-park, order, receive your order, and leave before a single other car pulls past on 4th (not recommended-- just a hyperbolic example). The people are awesome-- Zach always helps me-- and I love that it's a locally owned spot (other chain locations). Go Better Blend!!! And yes, I will officially be your Better Blender Influencer if you ask.

I kept meaning to walk here but never seemed to make it. Glad I was finally able to tonight because a smoothy really hit the spot. I wasn't sure what I was going to order and really appreciate the help picking just the right blend (which was slightly off menu but excellent). Now that I've been here I'm sure it will be a regular stop for a snack or bowl.
