The Blend

Excellent service and atmosphere! I had a large iced Snickers latte with whipped cream. It was delicious but had a lot of ice for the price I paid (nearly $7). That and the slightly cramped middle setting area led me to knock this location down a star despite how delicious my drink was. It's definitely worth a visit; maybe just ask for less ice.

What's okay about this place is the decor and community aspect of it. The drinks and employees were not very good. Hopefully I went in on off day (Sunday morning). The woman working the register sounded miserable. Not friendly, she made you feel unwelcome and like you were interrupting her conversation with the barista. I ordered a blended drink and it was absolutely terrible. I threw it away because I did not want a confrontation with the woman that made it. I ordered a specialy latte with oat milk and with tip it was $8. Check out the size of it. LOL. Definitely won't be back!

Review Date: October 28th, 2014 The Blend is… A nice combination of upscale, cozy, delicious and comforting. Offering a nice selection of coffees and baked goods to choose from, you’ll find something there that will tickle whatever it is you are craving. Everyone that I know that has been to The Blend loves it. I wouldn’t say I love it, but I really do enjoying there for some reason. I can’t quite put my finger on it, but the place just feels nice to be at. Between plenty of seating, free wifi, a large and varied coffee menu, board games (I think they still have them), it feels like a big chain place, but maintains that small town comfort. I have only had coffee here and wait… I usually try something new every time I go. I don’t always love the new ones I pick but how could you not want Snickerdoodle coffee?! They offered quite some fun combinations of flavors for wild tasting coffees. Overall, a really nice and cozy coffee place. They have one of those ‘stand alone’ shacks also in Washington, so if you are in a rush, you can go there and stay in your car while getting some deliciousness in your belly. Definitely a recommended place if you love coffee and are in the Central Illinois area.

Very nice place to get good coffee and a small bite to eat. Staff is extremely friendly and quick at getting your drinks to you. Coffee flavor is nice without the burnt flavor other places have at times. The seating area is very warm and inviting with nice decorations and atmosphere. I recommend it as an office on the go for traveling business people.

The Blend is an excellent local coffee shop. Even though my family doesn’t live in Washington we will frequently take a 20 minute road trip to have some. There are many specialty drinks that we like. My wife loves the Heath Bar latte. If you are in for something very unique try the Mayan Mocha. It has a great balance of Sweet and Spicy. It has a really relaxed atmosphere great for families and groups. A must try!
