I can’t recommend this place enough. Good coffee, great grilled cheese, and tasty sweet treats. What makes this place so special is that the staff are all fantastic. Dee has done so well at creating a lovely place that is great to hang out with friends and catch up over good food/drinks.
The best independent coffee shop in Nottingham. Bright, spacious, airy. Coffee is home roasted-best I've had and staff are utterly delightful. Food amazing as well. Well worth a visit. ��
Being the owner of The Vinyl Passion music room in Nottingham we were invited to the Vinyl lounge event Blend celebrating the great Bob Dylan.. all i can say is what a superb space to chill enjoy really good quality food and drinks with an outstanding atmosphere and friendly staff a must stop for an hours sanity whenever i hit the city..
Great eatery. Lovely food , lovely coffee and even lovlier staff. Really impressed with the age of the staff( all appeared to be under 25) and the quality of food and menu they provide. Great service. Can't wait for my next visit.
Really pleased I tried here! Was a little dubious as had heard there was vegan options but not much on the menu for a mid morning snack when I looked, but when I went to the counter there were vegan pastries, filled croissants and chocolate short breads to die for! Along with a choice of soya, almond, oat and coconut milk! The staff were super too and very accommodating �
Found the place out of nowhere trying to kill some time before a meeting (tattoo) just asked for a regular coffee and it was great compared to few others I have been too friendly staff/owners nice place to chill away from the crowd �
Easily one of the best coffee experiences in Nottingham. I love what they had done with the space, huge amount of light. Makes for great meeting. Staff are lovely and welcoming making me feel like a regular after the first or second time I came in. If your going for the cheese toasty get it with extra bacon, you won't regret it! The coffee is always the perfect temperature and it comes in generous servings. Tastes and smells extremely fresh, almost like it's been roasted next door... big fan of this place. 5/5!
Great coffee and friendly staff. The place has a good vibe. Our gf muffin was delicious. Only found you on Saturday and been twice already!
Bit of a hidden gem!
Lovely chilled atmosphere,spacious interior.
Staff really friendly & helpful.
Only had coffee & cake but will definitely be back for a toasty or breakfast soon.
Liked the outdoor seating area too! 😊
Best coffee shop in Notts and great food awesome great staff a must try 😊
Great place
Great coffee
Grilled cheese sandwiches are amazing
Play super music , lovely place to chill
An amazing space selling the best coffee in Nottinghamshire! We were made to feel extremely welcome and will definitely be returning to such a great place.
Superb coffee and ultimate bacon sarnie.
Light and spacious place with outdoor space to enjoy on sunny days.
Great Coffee, amazing grilled cheese sandwiches and a great bunch of folks running the place! I recommend to everyone!
What a hidden gem! A brilliant range of cleverly named fresh food just on the edge of the city centre. My "Brieyoncé" grilled cheese was delicious! Not to mention the excellent, friendly service from Dani who served us. I'll definitely be going back!
Grilled cheese to die for & a lovely little place to watch the world go by! �
A massive thank you to Blend and all the staff for allowing us to hold a joint 40th Birthday party at the weekend. Fantastic venue, great atmosphere and staff were brilliant!
This cafe is the old central market in Nottingham. It is a really nice place to have lunch. Coffee is excellent with good food. Fabulous atmosphere.

Lovely chill venue with lots of natural light as it has roof windows and is on the corner of the market. Loads of vegan options. Everything under Herbivore can be made vegan. I paid £8 for a grilled vegan cheese sandwich with celeriac and sweet Apple chutney. They have loads of vegan cakes, drinks and even a soy roll. Grab a table, check the menu, go up to order (tell them your table number). Collect drinks, food is delivered to the table. AF on the menu basically means vegan. AFO means can be made vegan. Everything is made in the same kitchen though.
As a local to the coffee shop, I often dropped by to grab a delicious cup of coffee. Whenever heading into town, I would stop by here to grab what I knew would be a delicious, flavour filled drink. Each time I’ve entered the shop, I’ve been greeted with friendly service, provided a ton of great recommendations and felt empowered leaving their clean and stylish cafe.
We love an oat milk latte here with our business meetings or after the gym. Breakfast granola and toast with coffee is 👌
Great coffee, calm friendly vibe and the cake is a real treat. We love Blend
So good, we had the grilled cheeses and they were both amazing! great coffee and cakes as well. Definitely will be back for the brunch. Service is lovely :)
We stumbled upon blend while exploring Nottingham city. It was always really busy and felt we had to give it a go while in Nottingham. It absolute did not disappoint! The service was friendly, the atmosphere really had a ‘feel good’ vibe and the toasty was to die for, absolutely delicious. We loved it. Could not recommend it more highly!
Whoa—we happened to be round the corner so thought we'd pop in to try Blend and I can confidently say we had the BEST coffee around (from Stewart's next door). The grilled cheeses were out of this world, too! What a neat place—an open, airy space with natural light just pouring in over comfy seating, lively greenery, colourful décor, and even a welcoming workbench area (for more productive visitors!) Clean, casual, fun, and friendly with sprawling outdoor seating just outside—the perfect spot to pop in and take away or sit and stay a while. Coffee and reusable cups available to buy as well—the coffee prices are competitive with the likes of Lavazza, so absolutely no reason not to get your hands on these incredible locally roasted beans to enjoy at home! Full marks all round—we'll definitely be back x x
Update: this is our default grub when we're on this side of town. They change the menu often and we've tried several more of their delicious creations. The service and food is consistently top-notch and staff are happy to grind any beans you buy to takeaway. Really glad to see other locations around the city (although this is the only spot they do a full hot breakfast / brunch / grilled cheese menu). No complaints—highly recommend!
spacious and nice place to hv coffee. but i hope more dessert menu will be
Amazing coffee, great food made in house, and the nicest staff. The vibes are good all round and the experience is exactly what you want from somewhere to hang out or somewhere to work. Disabled access is great and the staff are great about it. Queer haven
By far my favorite coffee shop to work from in all the cities I have visited. It is spacious, with ample natural light, very friendly staff with awesome coffee. It was my regular place tonwork from while I was in Nottingham. Highly recommend the place.
