Blend & Batch - Banbridge

This is one of the best cafes I’ve ever been to, worth the drive from Belfast! Staff are very friendly and the atmosphere and decorations are amazing. The food is great too, really good portions and presented beautifully.

Visited Blend & Batch for a catch-up with a friend and left as a lifetime customer!

We arrived around 1 pm on a Sunday, so there was a bit of a wait to be seated and served, but it was absolutely worth it.

To start, we tried the Strawberry Spears Soda, recommended by our waitress. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with it. It was refreshing and not too minty.

For food, I ordered the Crème Brûlée French Toast as a light snack. It’s hands down the best French toast I’ve ever had. The cream was frozen and melted beautifully into the toast, while the caramelised sugar layer kept everything crisp. The strawberries balanced the sweetness perfectly, ideal for brunch! It wasn’t very filling, so I’d recommend ordering something extra or a light dessert if you’re hungry.

My friend had the Smash Burger and Fries. It was a nice portion with two patties, and she loved it; not overly filling either, so it was just right for a casual meal.

The staff were so welcoming, always smiling, and really made the atmosphere pleasant.

If you have time and don’t mind a short wait, definitely try Blend & Batch. I can’t wait to try everything else on the menu.

10/10!

Midweek treat that hit the spot!

We popped in for dinner this evening for a midweek treat, and it absolutely didn’t disappoint. The food was incredibly tasty — full of flavour and clearly made with care. As always, the service was excellent from start to finish. From the moment we were seated to the minute we left, we felt completely looked after — 10/10.

Even with a bustling atmosphere and a queue at the door, the staff never missed a beat. We were made to feel like the only customers in the room — and so was everyone around us, which really speaks volumes about the consistency and quality of the service.

I grab a coffee here nearly every morning, and I’ve never had a single negative experience. Whether it’s 8am or 8pm, the service, the smiles, and the experience are always the same: welcoming, warm, and top notch.

Highly recommend — every visit is a reminder of why this place is a favourite!

Found the service very slow as we waited 35 minutes for food, after waiting nearly an hour to get in and order food. When it did arrive the quality was hit and miss, for example the fish tacos had one tiny nugget of fish and were so dry. For £15 for fish tacos and a dip it was extremely overpriced for what you get. The mushroom toast was tasty. We also ordered drinks when we came in that didn’t arrive.

Overall, wouldn’t rate here at all for food and service. The restaurant itself is very nice but there’s better quality food closer by without the extremely long wait.

Brunch bap was absolutely amazing. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The coffee is some of the nicest I've tried. The music was little loud to me but that's just my opinion.

Recommend to us by our daughter and didn’t disappoint. Food was fresh clean and so tasty. The chicken was so tender. The tea cake was delicious with our tea and coffee. Highly recommend.
