The best and most consistent coffee shop within a hour radius. There’s been 1 time it was a little off but always good. Service isn’t anything special but nothing to complain about either. Definitely check it out!

I was disappointed to see that they serve coffee in disposable cups even if you drink it there.

I've been coming here since they opened (and long before when it was still "The Meeting Grounds" and this place has come a long way since becoming Local Blend. The bakery consistently offers great choices and they are regularly experimenting with new flavors and offerings. Most importantly for me and my wife (who is highly gluten sensitive) they have some wonderful gluten free bakery items and she's never once had any issues with contamination! Some of their vegan/dairy free offerings arent always the most flavorful but they are still high quality. Everything can't be perfect when you cater to a wide variety of dietary options but they certainly have put in the effort to try . As far ras I am concerned this is truely one of the gems in St. Joe and St. Cloud areas and I've never had a anything but good experiences.

Chamber quartet music every second Saturday of the month by an extremely talented group of local musicians. Service is excellent. Menu is varied and well executed.

What a gem!!! Great coffee, delicious baked goods, and so enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich. The counter staff was cheerful and welcoming! Perfect place to meet and treat my niece for an after class chat.

I love the atmosphere!!! Besides coffee and tea, they offer baked goods and breakfast. There are some vegan items too and vegetarian friendly. Ice cream is offered. Large booths and a lovely fireplace in winter. It has a feeling of an old style place.

This place is the epitome of cozy. There's a wonderful way in which they have movable chairs - within a booth setting. Also, lots of plug ins for work/play. Super coffee!

Stopped in to buy Espresso beans for a holiday gift. Realized that a brew from the 15th-century Yemeni district in Arabia, concocted to keep one alert at rituals, couldn't hold a candle to the products available at The Local Blend. Nor would I assume the baristas from that era, even amidst industrious sales, to be as fervent and cordial to this simple javaphile. A treasured preference!

The decor of Local Blend gives a very cozy feel. We needed to do take out so was unable to stay. And since it is not close to us I may never get to either. They do have an open mic night but once again not living close and being in the middle of the week I'll probably never make that either. Staff was friendly and latte was really good. The food looked really and sounded really good but we had just been out to eat so were very full.
