Other Thoughts:
Large, spacious space, 3 couches, multiple size table options. Space for rental for meetings, get togethers, etc. Love the combination of old brick, white walls with murals, and very well lit.
Great location for work, studying, and just hanging out. Nice outdoor seating area. 4 table tops, easily seat about 24 people in the secondary area - can be closed off.
Located in downtown Burlington, NC. Major construction across the street at the time of this writing, should be very nice when the construction is complete. Parking and still very accessible. Easy to get to from I40/I85.
Skip the lines and order off of their website or via QR code on the The Blend - Burlington brochure.
What You Should Know Before You Go
A great coffee shop with plenty of seating, pastries, and specialty coffee and tea selections. Easy access from I40 makes The Blend - Burlington a great quick-stop location as well as a place to study or work. A fair amount of street parking, lot parking appears to be close by (I did not check if The Blend - Burlington patrons can use the lots.)
Plenty of room while waiting for your coffee drink to be made. Relax, enjoy, and make yourself at home for a few minutes or a few hours.
