Blue Apron Reviews

I was given 2 weeks of Blue Apron as a Christmas Gift by my son and his wife. I really did like the meals and enjoyed cooking again so I signed up for the program.. The choice of menus are great. You always find meals you will enjoy. For those who don't like spicy things, I say, "don't use it".The food will still be wonderful.. I can skip weeks if I go out of town. I have always disliked grocery shopping and now all I have to shop for is milk and cereal. I also save money by not doing what I call "pick up shopping". I don't buy things I don't need and things that will go bad in the fridge because I don't use all of it. I recommend this program.

I have been loving Blue Apron! The meals are fresh and beautiful! Its so exciting when you get your Blue Apron box!! Ha!
I love every single one so far! Love that you get everything you need to make your meal. No waisting anymore food! And its just enough. You wont over eat because its perfectly proportioned. Just enough and I am full. And nothing comes from a grocery store. All from organic farms and fisherman. Love supporting that!
I love to cook and I am making new thing that I would have never tried before Blue Apron.
I love it!!!!

Ingredients and recipes were fine. I'm not a good cook so my meals didn't come out well. Not happy that they wouldn't let me quit before my next delivery with 5 days notice. Scam.

My wife and I have been using Blue Apron for a while. We love it because we cook dishes and use ingredients we never would think to otherwise. It has really broadened our tastes and our willingness to cook new and different things. My only complaint is that I wish there was more variety each week. We will skip a week if we don't love the menu options.

We started ordering BA to save time & $. It was fun for a min... then we got sick of cheap ingredients & lack of choice.. celery roots, meatballs and sunny side up eggs! R u kidding me?! We quickly switched to Home Chef and now we can chose from 10 dinners! We get steak every week... this week we got steak, veal & shrimp! Last week we ordered steak, salmon,
rack of ribs & boneless chicken breasts!
When BA send us a chicken dinner, it was 2 little thighs (bone in) ..that was ridiculous. ..hardly enough food for 1 of us, so we had to go buy more chicken...
Both companies charge the same amount... Home Chef also offers for $4 fresh fruit bowls & fresh fruit smooties... they also always include a breakfast entree and over the holidays they offered appetizer trays (stuffed mushrooms & bruschetta ) and cheese cakes.
For Valentines Day they are sending us Filet Mignon & chocolate mousse. .yummm & strawberry crepes! :)
It didn't take long to see that we were being "had" by BA.. they take your $ and spend it on advertising. .. Home Chef spends your money on your next meals!
Home Chef's meals also taste Amazing! I only ever had 1 real good meal w BA... the rest were either "ehh" or "no way" !
My puppy however preferred BA cuz she got to eat most of it lol
Time to go make Shrimp Jambalaya for dinner ! I've been looking forward to this all week :)

I am a very good cook, but I work 10-12 hours a day. And, I despise grocery shopping. My SO doesn't cook unless you count "stir fry" every night. BA has allowed me to have the freedom to cook like they do on TV. All meals are done in 30-45 minutes, and are restaurant quality. I worried the portion sizes seemed small, they aren't. Even for my SO who is a big eater. BA rocks in my book.

I have used Blue Apron for a while now; not only do they constantly leave ingredients out, but this week they didn't send the entire box!! I emailed them twice and left a voicemail - no surprise that nobody got back to me. Use them only if you want them to steal your money. Thieves.

just wanted to give a quick shout out to BLUE APRON for its commitment to QUALITY and CUSTOMER SERVICE.

a friend of mine sent me a 'trial meal'...and to make a long story short...i wasn't able to receive it until just before thanksgiving...and didn't quite understand the logistics of 'canceling' or how to 'move forward' (or not) with a Blue Apron subscription.

that said...between already having too much food (single woman...kids dispersed...)...i had WAY TOO MUCH FOOD for the holiday AND to include a Blue Apron meal for 'two'.

i then was charged for a SECOND delivery...before i could actually 'prepare' my second meal...which became overwhelming and potential 'food and money' wasted...while i still hadn't determined whether i'll be a BLUE APRON customer in the future.

i contacted CUSTOMER SERVICE right away...and they RESPONDED TO ME RIGHT AWAY :)...and not ONLY did they 'refund' the charge for the second 'box'...but the delivery still arrived 'as scheduled'...and MOST IMPORTANTLY...their 'understanding', professionalism and overall great handling of the situation was FABULOUS and so positive...if/when i'm able to join 'Blue Apron'...i already anticipate it being a wonderful 'service'.

this is—sadly, 'rare' i'd say...(hahaha...cooking term!)...especially 'ONLINE' so THANK YOU, BLUE APRON. i hope when the dust settles and i have 'time' to put together the robust and imaginative menus your company puts together—i'll be joining BLUE APRON for the long haul!

all the best and thank you,

Thought I would give this service a try since I love cooking and would like to change up my meals. Ordered my service and delivery was guaranteed for Delivery on the 3rd of December by 8PM. 8PM came and went and I guess my order ended up at someone house in a different city and was sent back to facility. Next day called customer service which took 10 minutes to talk to live person and cancelled my service. They didn't try to resolve problem just let me on my way. 1st impressions can kill a business and will talk of this for months with people who ask me what I think or if I have tried the service. They are growing to fast to control major problems. I have since found Hello Fresh which is a bit more expensive but better reviews and better meals.

Great concept. I only cook for 2 so the portion control is perfect. They overestimate on the calories usually. I initially freaked out on the 600-700 estimated calories they provide on the cards. I downloaded the ingredients and most of the time the estimated calories are way over. That's a good thing for my waistline. Service is consistent. Once I didn't receive an ingredient. I wrote an email and received a reply within an hour. On the weekend!!! If you don't like the selection you can skip the delivery that week. I've used Blue Apron for 4 months now and very happy with it.

My husband and I decided to try blue apron after adding up our weekly food bill that consisted mostly of eating out and a few hurried meals if I could make it to the grocery store after football, basketball, etc. . We are both foodies and love to cook but the time to plan and shop was the problem. Blue apron delivers 3 meals a week that we choose. The portions are really made for 2 to 3 people, but we stretch it to feed 4 by adding another vegetable or grain, etc. The only thing you really need is eggs, salt, pepper and olive oil, everything else is provided. All the meals have been tasty and easy to make. The service is cheaper than Plated and they have just added a monthly wine pairing for an extra $65 a month. I think the service could be improved if they had portions to feed a family of 4 for 5 days I have yet to find any meal service that provides this. . In addition, they limit your choices each week. For example, you can choose 3 meals out of about 7, but if you select certain meals it eliminates other selections automatically. I would also suggest a desert selection. Overall, my family is enjoying the service and the home cooked meals. I would recommend highly recommend it.

The food is not bad (not necessarily the healthiest), but the food took awhile to cook. They say 35 minutes, but it took about an hour. It would've been faster for me to cook myself.

I used to dread cooking for our sunday dinners for family night. Hours of shopping, recipe preparation and then cooking was draining. Buying from blue apron and all for under 50 dollars is a wonderful deal.

I am not a chef and could barely make pasta. I tried out blueapron to cook for my girlfriend and it was easy and she was extremely impressed with my skills.

I tried plated first but sometimes the cost was a little bit too high for me. Blue apron is about $5 less per meal which can add up over time. I found the meals to be just as good too.

AWESOME!! Great food, super convenient, you can skip abny meals, and you cancel by sending an email! Great stuff, great company!

Ten dollars per person for a meal is a great deal. My only hangup is I like to be low carb and some of their options are very carb heavy.
