Good selection of smoothies and healthy snacks. Even the free infused water is good. I was disappointed to see 'turkey bacon' for the egg sandwich, though. Let's be honest... That isn't real bacon... ;) Still, the smoothies were really good. And they even had some dairy-free options, which I liked seeing (lactose is the devil). Be sure to stop in here and check it out.

This place is awesome. I have never eaten there, but I often cater them in for our office. The provide a nice break from all the normal lunch meeting food of pizza and subs. The food is fresh, creative and always tasty. They are always on time and get the orders correct and the service is fantastic! I usually work with Tracy for catering, not sure if she is the owner or not but she makes catering with them so easy that I just keep using them over and over!

Balance Café and Smoothies is a great, healthy place! There are plenty of smoothie options but not as many food options, which was my only disappointment. The food and smoothie that I had was great, and the prices are very reasonable! A great, healthy place to choose.
(4)Daniel R.
Hands down the best place to enjoy a freshly made meal created with fresh ingredients. My wife and I enjoyed the customer service and if you get a chance to speak with Tracy, the owner, you will be treated like family. Balance Cafe is our new Hotspot for healthy food and can't wait to return for more. They also have a nice reward program worth checking out!

Great place. Quality food. Loved the protein waffle. Quick, health and affordable. Hard to beat.

I, too, have a new Diamond in the Rough Café amongst the numerous Brown Food joints, thanks to all the other Yelp reviews. Food should still have life in it to give you life, and Balance is just that place. The Owner, Tracy, deserves to thrive and continue providing a Healthy alternative to dried/fried. Had the small Fruit of Steel Smoothie - $6.49. Simply Delicious! The larger size could be a meal in itself. Enjoyed the Grilled Veggie Salad $7.25, which surprisingly came with cheese (not on the ingredient list) but missed the Basil Pesto flavor. The grill flavor was perfect, might have to add chicken if you have a ferocious appetite. Remember, you get what you pay for . . . .how much are you worth?

This is my first time going to balance cafe and smoothies. I loved it very welcoming and the food was delicious
(5)Mitch G.
Wonderful. Budget friendly. Excellent tastes. Creative ingredients. Friendly staff that treats you like personal friends. Been here a half dozen times now, tried new things every time and I have not been the least bit disappointed yet. (Anyone that knows me, knows I can find something to complain about). Everything is fresh and very nice sized portions. There's tons of gluten, sugar and dairy free stuff to choose from and they are more than willing to alter something to fit your needs! If this is what healthy food should taste like, sign me up!
(5)Megan M.
We have been to balance smoothie cafe about 5 times now and have tried most of their offerings. None have disappointed! Soups are delicious. Kids love the smoothies which can be made with almond milk for my dairy free folks! The complimentary water infused with fruit is always fun and creative. The breakfast sandwich was not what I was expecting, but was totally the bomb. How can you go wrong with cherry tomatoes and spinach added to the eggs and cheese and sausage and a whole grain muffin! Ok salads were great! Wraps and sandwiches also were awesome, unique, and healthy. Finally service is superb friendly and willing to work with customers to find the perfect combos! All in all a great new addition to the fields ertel area. And you will feel much less guilty eating here than any of the other offerings in this fast fried food mecca!
(5)Lynn S.
Yummy and nutricious food, but the portion sizes are way too small for the price. 8.49 for a tiny veggie wrap is way too much. I could have gotten the ingredients from the store accross the street for much less and just made the wrap in the car.
(3)Sean D.
Very happy to find this local cafe. Noticeably high quality ingredients, excellent preparation! Nice. Prices were spot on reasonable and that is a big plus in my book. Vibe is very friendly and upbeat and comfortable. Food arrived quickly. The food and smoothie we tried were excellent. Cool place!
(5)Bob D.
Had the Turkey Ghost Burger and a side of Zucchini Chips. Burger had some nice bite to it. Perfect balance with the spring mix and pico de gale sauce. Loved the infused water. Just felt healthy walking out. Great place. Will be back.
(5)My T.
The food is pretty good here but I think it's a little overpriced for the amount of food you get. Try the smoothies and fish salad. It was delish.
(4)Jon K.
Had a salad that rocks. Chicken Bacon Avocado: Arugula, spring mix, baby spinach, chickpea, avocado, turkey bacon, boiled egg, and basil pesto chicken breast. What else can I add? You read those ingredients you just HAVE to order this salad. It was amazing. Service was great although it took some time to get our food, but it was so fresh it was so worth the wait.
(4)Deborah H.
Delicious and healthy....yes, they can go together, and Balance Cafe is proof! I am officially addicted to the City Chicken Pita (once again Yelp reviews were spot-on). The grilled chicken is amazing and plays perfectly with the feta and tomatoes. I have tried the fruit cup and orzo salad as a side with my pita, and both were fresh and delicious.
(5)Marie M.
Super good and healthy smoothies. Great sized portions on food. If you want a full breakfast menu, I don't suggest this. The interior is a tad drab, but with a little upgrade would be great. The drawback- I've been waiting for 15 minutes for two smoothies and the place isn't even busy. There's two people here that have already been served before I even placed my order. . I came here to avoid the wait at smoothie king. Bad choice! Bummer.
(3)Stephanie G.
GREAT little restaurant!! Food prepared fresh for you upon order. Fabulous menu for clean-eating with a very home-made feel. You leave feeling full and well nourished. It is quality clean-eating without cleaning out your wallet! The smoothie menu was very impressive, sure to please anyone in the group. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone trying to eat clean on a budget!!
(5)Rishi S.
A diamond in the rough! We found this place on yelp while waiting in line for the pancake house! We did not know what to expect! We left the pancake house, and so glad that we left! This place is for the health conscious with several gluten-free and other healthy options. The brunch and smoothies were fantastic!! The egg sandwich was amazing! Wow! Also, it was $4. $4?!!! The best $4 bagel sandwich that I have ever had! This is a must when u r in the fields ertel/Loveland area! Also, there is $1 yelp coupon! It is definitely a BALANCED and healthy meal! Bal
(5)Johnny M.
I am in love with this place! Great brekfast selection and protein packed smoothies. Also check the cooler around the corner for homemade energy shots and energy bars. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie was fantastic. Great fast service too. Cant wait to come back!
(5)Christy C.
Great place! Had the City Chicken Pita. Highly recommend! Tomato orzo wasn't bad just not my cup of tea. Loved the complimentary fruit infused water! Can't wait to go back and try a smoothie. Heard the chocolate covered strawberry smoothie is good!
(5)sam r.
There is nothing in the immediate area that compares... Smoothies are great Chicken Pita Sandwich is amazing. The breakfast scrambles are very cheap and healthy. They are the perfect start to my day. Going there right now....
(5)Lynsey B.
I have yet to be disappointed! My favorite item is the City Chicken Pita but I've tried various items and they are all equally as good. The food is fresh and I don't feel guilty eating it. I feel the pricing is reasonable for all the quality food you receive. The only downside is the traffic I have to fight getting through the area around lunch time.
(5)Vanessa C.
Decided to try this place for an afternoon snack after seeing all the great reviews here on Yelp. They did not disappoint! They serve breakfast all day (hallelujah) so I ordered an egg burrito- delicious! Perfect for a snack! Egg, spinach, cheese and fresh tomatoes made on a small whole grain tortilla shell. Also had a raspberry kale smoothie that was SO refreshing! I could tell it was all fresh ingredients without any fillers. This pregnant lady will be back for more! Oh- and a cold bottle of water comes with all breakfast orders. Holla! Really nice people and all items are made to order (I.e. They haven't been sitting on a heating shelf for hours).
(5)Amy E.
LOVE the healthy options, the affordable prices, delicious smoothies. Breakfast sandwich for $4. Snacking on green beans instead of fries. Ok, you have to be in the mood for something healthy, but this is an EXCELLENT healthy option in the area. Everything on the menu (including the cuban) is less than 500 calories. Infused water was perfect.
(4)Amanda M.
Yes i am back. This little twenty first century dinner is my bed and BREAKFAST option in the world of corporate travel. Tracy makes every effort to feed me and leave me with a smile. I just read a review that there wad not enough selection... I say no. This week started with pumpkin waffles, protien shakes, salads, wraps, this morning it was steak and eggs...and of course my fav, the bake goods are to die for... keep up the great work Balance Cafe!
(5)Karen B.
Visited today for the first time, and it was great! I had a gluten-free pumpkin waffle and roasted red pepper soup. My husband had oatmeal with craisins, pineapple, and lots of other good stuff and some vegetable soup. Very nice, friendly place with great food. We will definitely be back for soup and salad soon.
(5)Geoff D.
Had the Fruit of Steel smoothie and the Egg Sandwich. Both were quite tasty! Service was very friendly and attentive.
(5)Todd W.
So the wife wants to try out this new healthy restaurant. I'm starving and want something good to eat - not usually what I consider "healthy eating". But I give in and give this place a try. Wow. I had the Cuban sandwich. Best. Sandwich. Ever. I am not exaggerating when I say it was the best tasting sandwich I ever had. I now love this place! Trust me - if I like it (as picky as I am) you will love it! Get the Cuban!
(5)Eric M.
Great new concept in Cincinnati! Overall I feel that Cincy has been lacking in restaurant options that focus strictly on healthy alternatives so I'm happy to see it finally break through. The menu is pretty vast with smoothies, sandwiches, salads, and breakfast - all pretty different from what you can get anywhere else. Food is high quality.
(5)John M.
Delicious smoothies and breakfast burrito. Very friendly staff as well. I definitely will be going back.
(5)Jason W.
Grilled chicken pita is amazing as are the sides. Usually get the orzo or spicy green beans.
(4)A.J. E.
Two words: Turkey Burgers. I know it's tough for non-chain restaurants and cafès to survive in this area, but if any of them deserve to not only survive but flourish it's this place. If you're into healthy food or not I promise you will still enjoy what they have to offer
(5)Jenna M.
Adorable cafe with delicious and healthy food. Plus it is very inexpensive. A rare find. The service and owners are super friendly! They gave my kids vegetables to plant!
(5)Anzhelicka B.
What a wonderful place!!! I absolutely love that everything is freshly made for you! The options are really healthy! Every item I have tried so far was delicious and staff is super friendly. It's clean and kid friendly!!! Prices are so affordable too! I am definitely addicted to this cafe!
(5)Sam Z.
Went here for first time for a business breakfast. Concerned at first because the place was empty but it was a snow and ice day. Looking at the menu there are a ton of smoothies and some breakfast sandwiches, scrambles, waffles and oatmeal. I went for the bagel egg sandwich and my friend ordered a smoothie and a single burrito. The prices are very reasonable...a bagel sandwich with eggs, cheese, spinach and turkey bacon...$3.99. The single egg burrito was $1.99. So affordable that I worry how they can stay open at those prices. Why do I worry...because the food was very good. Freshly made, great tasting and even came with a free bottle of water! I will be back again for breakfast and try out lunch as well as those reviews are good as well. So, try this place and frequent it often especially if you like it. We need to keep them in business.
(4)Niki T.
This place is delicious!! My husband and I eat here at least three times a week for either lunch or breakfast. I usually get the city chicken pita with the side of orzo. My husband loves the toasted Cuban with orzo and he always gets the fruit of steel smoothie. My 2 1/2 year old loves the wAffle with strawberries and bananas on it and we all love the brownies. I highly recommend this restaurant it just so nice to have a healthy choice in the area. :-)
(5)Ben B.
This place is a gem. Food is very high quality, and the owner is super helpful. Carrot Mango smoothie was a surprising treat. Custom breakfast tacos were extremely good (and I lived in TX for 13 years so I know a good taco). Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in north Cincinnati/Mason!
(5)Elizabeth S.
Today was our first visit, but it won't be our last! I love the healthy and tasty choices here. Also the service was friendly and our server told us that the menu will have regularly updated specials. I am sold! The pumpkin steak soup was great and our smoothies were delicious. Also, I agree about the Cuban...very yummy!
(5)Irina S.
It was ok.....sorry. Everyone is raving about it, but my family was in agreement that it was mediocre. The food was so-so, tasty but nothing to rave about. The peanut butter cookie was the highlight of the meal. If you have a glutten allergy you may want to try it.....
(3)Kevin C.
The breakfast tacos and english muffin sandwich were great. My wife's smoothie was also pretty solid.
(4)Kristen G.
First time trying this place due to a cincysaver, and it would be worth it even if we didn't have one. Great fresh food and smoothies. The perfect serving size and a good price for what you get. Can't wait to return to try other options!
(5)Leanna S.
Excellent Service Great food, smoothies & coffee. I ordered the breakfast burrito and added mango salsa.
(5)Diane G.
Loved the selection of dishes and the healthy options. One of the best Chicken Pita's I have ever had and will go back. Its a bit pricey for lunch but worth it. The kids menu is awesome and more affordable. They offer fruit infused water free which was great. I will definitely be eating there often!
(4)Liora A.
Sampled Balance at Farm Fresh so made it over there for lunch. We were not disappointed! The cuban sandwich was great and "sort" of healthy. There many very healthy items on the menu. We sampled "the Fruit of Steel " smoothie. That's on my list for our next visit which I don't think will be too far off. The staff is very helpful. The second picture I posted without a caption was a child's lunch. the restaurant was fairly busy at lunchtime and there were seats both inside and outside.
(4)Jackson S.
Delicious, wholesome foods with a great variety of options. Bit of a hole-in-the-wall; you could drive right by and miss it. I had the waffles with fresh fruit and the egg sandwich with turkey bacon and tomatoes on a 12 grain bagel. And the Blue-Straw protein smoothly was amazing. Not too protein-y! The server was terrific, friendly, knowledgeable and patient. Great prices, everything under $10.
(5)Lindsay W.
Stopped here before traveling home from vacation, as the Yelp reviews steered us towards an award winning breakfast :) I got the burrito and my husband got the breakfast bowl, equally delicious and included a bottle of water which is always nice for the road. Wish we lived in the area to experience it more often. Thanks for some road trip fuel for the tummy!
(5)Emily S.
Stopped for a smoothie, and I'm so happy I did! The selections are fantastic, service was great, and it was very reasonably priced. I hope I get a job in the cinci area soon, so I can become a regular!!!
(5)Kimberly M.
I ordered lunch here for about 17 people. Everyone's orders came out correct, fresh, and delicious, which made me look like a genius in the eyes of my coworkers. Thanks Balance Cafe! Customer service was top notch. They even called the following day to make sure everything went well. Lunch items were less than $10 per person. It's hard to find healthy, quality food for that price when traveling on a national tour, so I'm a huge fan.
(5)Tabitha M.
This place just rocks, hands down! Tucked among all of the chain and fried food options on Fields Ertel, this gem just sticks out for fresh, healthy food. Now granted, I'm sure the gluten free peanut butter cookie I had with lunch yesterday is not the best option for dessert, but you have to have your little indulgences every now and then. I have eaten here a handful of times and have loved every meal. Most of the time, for my main entree, I have opted for the City Chicken Pita that everyone talks about. Grilled white meat chicken, feta cheese, greens, little cherry tomatoes and a wonderful cucumber/tzatziki sauce. I rotate sides, from the permanent tomato orzo salad to one of their daily rotating items...never had kamut before, but found it a nice change especially paired with mushrooms, spinach & a bit of feta. I recently have started grabbing a couple of the single serving sides they keep in the fridge on my way out to throw in my lunches for the week...definitely a better option than baked cheetos or pretzels. Oh, and a hidden bonus is the complimentary daily infused water that they have out. I get this every time, I don't think I've ever actually purchased a beverage, the combinations in the water carafe are always so good. I have not sampled any of the breakfast or smoothie items, mostly because I am normally rushing out the door to work with not much time to spare other than to grab the coffee off the Keurig, but I may have to set the alarm a bit earlier soon to stop by...everything listed looks yummy. Fight the traffic, take a chance a joint tucked in a strip mall...you won't be sorry!
(5)Dara M.
Got the toasted Cuban. It's was good but a little messy (small bun with lots of fillings). Got some spiced nuts to go. Pretty good.
(4)Nikki S.
I came to this place because it is close to my house, but I didn't have any real expectations. My friend and I both got the egg breakfast sandwich on whole wheat bagels and fruit smoothies. It came with bottled water and the price was super reasonable and the customer service was fantastic! I feel like we just found a gem!
(5)Mary ellen F.
I'm going to go ahead and chime in & agree with all the super positive reviews. Balance Cafe is an awesome place to grab a healthy and delicious meal. The owners/employees are super friendly and helpful so an experience at the Balance Cafe is definitely deserving of 5 stars. It's always great to thoroughly enjoy your meal AND feel good about putting what you just ate into your body. The menu reflects what's fresh/in season and I felt that for the quality and quantity of food it was all well priced. I would venture that you could find something on the menu to suit any taste. I feel fortunate to have such a great lunch option nearby work!
(5)Alexandre D.
I was looking for a new place to have lunch and I found this place in Yelp. And I'm so glad I did ! I did not try the smoothies yet but the Salmon wraps were delicious ! I definitely found an awesome restaurant to have lunch. If you work close to this place, you must give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Very friendly staff and food is not expensive at all for the quality you'll have. Hope these guys will have the success they deserve.
(5)Hanna T.
My favorite new place! This was my first time but by no means will be my last! I am vegan and they without any hesitation have me vegan options and then I had the pumpkin waffle but vegan and it was amazing!! The mushroom pepper soup that the employee recommended was delicious! She was also very helpful and just overall a nice and welcoming atmosphere! Plus everything is under 500 calories but doesn't taste like it!
(5)Beth F.
Since I moved back to Ohio, I have been looking for some healthy type places near me, so my waist line wouldn't keep growing as I parked my butt at my new desk. I ordered the city chicken pita sandwich with the spicy green beans. As I waited for my lunch I helped myself to some of their infused water, which contains a myriad of different fruits. YUM!!! So excited to see a place offering the infused water. I tried it at home, and let's just say it ended up growing some nice gross things because I couldn't drink it all fast enough... oops. So, I basked in the deliciousness of my fruity water as I waited for my food to arrive. Once it did, I wanted to bust out my instagram app to take some pictures of that amazing piece of art. It not only looked amazing, the taste went along with it. Red juicy tomatoes, white chunks of salty feta cheese, tender chicken and greens. I wanted to take 5 minutes just chewing each morsel of that pita. Holy WOW!!! When I could stop shoving the pita in my face hole I grabbed some of the spicy green beans.. whew.. they weren't kidding!! Crunchy with a nice kick! The only complaint that I have is that that I don't have two mouths so I can try more food at one time...now what was that original comment I was saying about my waist line??? Ah well... that's a personal problem and not Balance's problem. I went yesterday, and I'm planning on going back today. Question is, will I eat the same thing or try something new??/ AHHHHH Life decisions... sheesh!!!

Nestled in the area of Fields-Ertel where fast food and chain restaurants thrive, exists my kind of eatery: Balance Cafe and Smoothies. Bored of eating at my office cafeteria and bland homemade lunches, I decided to give Balance a try after reading all the positive yelp reviews. A local establishment offering natural, healthy, AND delicious food? Let's do this. Located in the middle of a shopping plaza where the "main" store is a furniture store, I can see how Balance could go unnoticed to the average driver in the area. Anyway, I go in and the Ghost Turkey Burger catches my eye immediately and I go for it. I get the Avocado Chickpea salad as my side, grab some of their refreshing fruit infused water (which has been different every time I've gone in so far) and wait. Food comes out and is the real deal. Perfectly cooked ground turkey with perfectly spiced ghost pepper sauce laying on a bed of mixed greens comfortably squeezed between two pieces of healthy looking (and tasting) bread. The side is a perfectly mashed duo of chickpeas and fresh avocado accompanied by minced onions and other spices. I finish my meal quickly, left wanting more. So I came back a few days later and got the City Chicken Pita, which was also outrageously good. And then I came back and saw that the Ghost Turkey Burger wasn't the special :( but asked them about it anyway and they said they could make it :)...how cool! They also have other sides and goodies like fresh kale chips and homemade peanut butter cookies. Wonderful. Anyway, this review is getting long and annoying to type out on my phone--if you're in the area, just go there. Good vibes, good food, happy Earth.
(5)Stephanie P.
Delicious, fresh, and healthy food, great atmosphere, wonderful customer service!! There is not one bad thing about this place. Once you try it, it will be your favorite place to eat!
(5)Laura T.
So my office used to bring in Panera on Fridays, cake for anniversaries and any other day that we could find an excuse to bring junk food in. Recently, we undertook a healthy initiative and so instead of these unhealthy sugar loaded treats, we bring in Balance Café. Their treats are A MILLION TIMES BETTER than the other stuff we used to bring in. They have the most amazing protein cupcakes (you have to try the blueberry with lemon icing!), smoothies, protein cookies, etc... Now, some people were a bit upset to be losing their Panera on Fridays, but the food from Balance Café is so good that no one seems to be complaining. I haven't been the café but I can't wait to try it!
(5)Jamie B.
I saw this place on yelp with great reviews. I was in the area and thought I would try it out. I was not impressed. I feel like the smoothies are over priced. I ordered the special oatmeal and it was very chewy. The staff remained in the back and would only come on to take an order. I was not impressed with how long I for my smoothie.
