GUILDERLAND — BARE Blends, a women-owned, healthy-foods eatery, which moved across Stuyvesant Plaza, is celebrating its new space on Oct. 3 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A new menu includes wraps, baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, matcha drinks, and avocado toasts made on locally sourced sourdough bread. A new espresso and coffee bar offers hot and cold beverages. Returning favorites include acai bowls, fresh-pressed juices, and smoothies.

Annie Berdar and Jessica Fuller launched BARE Blends in 2018 at Stuyvesant Plaza as a vegan, dairy-free, plant-based eatery and smoothie shop within a shared space alongside The Hot Yoga Spot. Since that time, it has expanded to include additional locations in New York, Massachusetts, Colorado, and Florida.

“The new space brings our vision for BARE Blends to life in a bigger, cozier, and more functional way,” said Berdar in a release from the plaza. “We’ve enhanced our behind-the-scenes operations for more efficient service while maintaining the quality and flavor our guests love.”

“We’re thrilled to unveil our new location, which truly reflects the vision we’ve always had for the BARE Blends brand,” said Fuller in the release. “Guests can expect the same beloved menu items, along with exciting new additions that elevate the experience even further. We know everyone is going to be blown away.”
