Blend & Glow is a neighbourhood smoothie bar that starts before sunrise, so every cup you pick up is already at its best by the time you walk through the door.

Read moreThere's a version of a smoothie bar that makes everything in large batches at the start of the day and pours from a jug until it's gone. It's faster, it's cheaper to run, and the smoothies are fine. They're also noticeably worse than something blended five minutes ago, and once you've had both side by side, you can't un-know that.

"Maya Osei trained as a chef in hotel kitchens, spending her last three years before Blend & Glow as a breakfast chef at a city-centre hotel. She opened the bar's first incarnation as a market hatch in March 2019, running it solo with one blender and a handwritten menu. She has a habit of arriving before sunrise, which she says is the only time the prep work feels calm. On slow mornings she reads at the window seat facing east. She keeps a small notebook of recipe ideas that she says is mostly crossed-out failures, which she considers a good sign."
7 a.m., every day of the week including Sunday. We close at 3 p.m. The smoothie bowls are only available until noon, or until we run out, whichever comes first. If you're coming specifically for a bowl, earlier is safer.
Most of our smoothies are already dairy-free. We use oat milk and coconut milk as our standard bases. If something on the menu has dairy in it, the board says so. Just ask and we'll tell you exactly what's in whatever you're looking at.
Yes. You can order ahead through the website and pick up at the bar. It's useful if you're passing through on a busy morning and don't want to wait. We'll have it ready in the window for you.
Fill in the form and we'll get back to you within one working day. For catering enquiries, it helps to include your event date and rough number of guests.
