    Fresheria had recently opened in La Mesa. They offer very good healthy eats, smoothies, salads, and espresso based beverages, and teas. I stopped in for breakfast and ordered the whole wheat breakfast bagel. I was so happy they offered a whole wheat bagel. It's so hard to find these days. The breakfast bagel came with scrambled eggs, ham, cheese, and tomato on the well toasted bagel. I also had an Americano with the meal. The quality of the bagel was very good, and the eggs were well scrambled and lightly seasoned. A little more salt and black pepper would have been good however. It was a very good breakfast bagel. The young lady who made my Americano was a newbie to making espresso and she did quite well. The coffee was very smooth and very flavorful. I had it black with a touch of cinnamon. Well done! The service was very good. They offer inside seating and there will be some outside seating in the near future. Great addition to the community of La Mesa.

    We need more restaurants like these in La Mesa. I love that it is walking distance from my place and the food is quick and yummy. I got a horchalatte and a ham omelette. The omelette has this extra cheese/ salsa mixture that makes it extra delicious, so while I grabbed some hot sauce out of habit it had so much flavor that I ate it on its own. The portions are very filling but don't make you feel heavy. The space is more conducive for takeout but they have a few seating areas on the inside and a couple tables outside where I could sit with my dog.

    Friendly service and great options for fresh healthy food. Pretty quick for our Togo order and they also had a smoothie and wrap special the night we came in. Acai bowl was good but market price ($13ish). The wraps we got were large and delicious. They have tables and seats inside and outside. Parking in the strip can be a little tight but manageable.

    Fresheria is the absolute most needed new business in this part of La Mesa. For about nine years, I have had an office nearby. So many time, I had found myself looking for something healthy, especially a juice or a smoothie. I tried several nearby businesses but none had fresh fruit smoothies.t So far, I have been to Fresheria twice, for two different smoothies: The Green Power and Blueberry Kale. Both were delicious and I feel were made with the best ingredients. The owner had been there each time taking to me about the products. Anyway, as someone who has worked nearby for many years, I seriously cannot say how happy I am that Fresheria has opened. I really needed somewhere to help power me through my workday. So many time I had been leaving work, skipping lunch, and needing to run errands, hoping I could find the perfect smoothie. Anyway, now I have found the perfect smoothie to energize me through the errands. I also look forward to trying their other healthy options such as ceviche, juices, and aciai bowels. I am super happy that Fresheria is now in my neighborhood.

    I had the cauliflower ceviche and a strawberry agua fresca. The ceviche was bright and flavorful, crunchy and limey. The agua fresca was just right, not at all a sugar bomb. I personally do not like a very sweet agua. Will definitely be back to try the lentil soup.

    I'm excited to have this new place walking distance from where I now reside. There are so many great healthy options on the menu. My first visit I had the spinach wrap with avocado, ham, cheese and egg plus a cold brew. The wrap was tasty and the cold brew was strong! The second visit, I ordered on their website for pick up, and when I got there, everything was ready. I ordered the breakfast soychoripapas burrito, plus the High C juice. The wrap was delicious, still piping hot when I got home, not too greasy, and the juice tasted fresh. I prefer my juice colder and served on ice, but you get a lot more fresh-squeezed juice without ice so I think they are doing customers a favor to maximize what you get. It was a bit more tart with the grapefruit flavor being the strongest, but overall, I liked the taste. Both times, the service was quick, and I was greeted with a warm welcome. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more out on the menu! If you are looking for a place that has healthy and freshly made food, this is a great spot.

    Vegetable soup & vampire juice
    Natalia R.

    Pulled over to Fresheria La Mesa in search of a healthy, light meal as it looked to fit my needs perfectly. They sport a great selection of tortas, sandwiches, wraps, juices, and I was surprised they even offered vegetable soup as well as some yummy looking Mexican snacks (definitely saving room for tostilocos for next time). Cashier was super friendly and helpful, offering to answer any questions. I ordered a Cesar salad wrap, vegetable soup, and an unsweetened latte. Holy cow was I in for a surprise. -The soup: just like my grandma makes, seriously. So delicious, aromatic, and hit the spot. -The Cesar salad wrap: great ratios, just the right amount of crunch, perfectly light but filling. -The latte: surprisingly good, never would have imagined such a delicious latte from what looks to be a juice bar. They had a variety of different flavors that I want to try next time--like Mexican hot chocolate--but I ordered it unsweetened because I wanted to really taste the espresso, and boy am I glad I did. Absolutely delicious. Place was clean, service was friendly and fast, and I even got a free sample of their (amazing) fresas con crema. I only wish I had more room in my stomach to fit it!

    Forget the common haunts. This isn't just a coffee shop; it's an **experience**. You walk in, and the atmosphere hits you first: **quaint, but exquisitely clean**. There is **no grease smell**, just the pure aroma of high-quality goods. The food is **healthy fuel**, not filler. And I just had to stop the presses for the **Special Torta**! It was absolutely **full of flavor** and hit the perfect, necessary heat with its **jalapeño and chipotle sauce**. But the obsession starts and ends with the coffee: The **Mexican Chocolate Coffee** delivers the exact, thrilling **kick** you need. It's not a gentle lift--it's the liquid motivation that **demands you go dominate the rest of your day.**

I think it would've been better with hot honey and syrup on the side? - Again these pancakes are THICK and flavor was "meh" so you prolly won't even finish them all and you might need to ask for extra syrup (like myself) I honestly think the chicken and French toast would've been a better option and I might ask for that accommodation next time if I order the same thing (I prolly won't, I like to try new tings hehe).

This particular location is a stylish, full-service restaurant. And, overall, the restaurant prices itself on its modern take on breakfast, brunch and dinner. Some of their go to items are Eggs in Purgatory, the Smoked Salmon Toast, the Stuffed French Toast and their mimosas, which change regularly (and you can get the bottomless mimosas for $25). I am a super fan of their potatoes, Eggs Benedict options and gently cooked eggs. The ambiance is cozy and cool, and even though it gets very busy, it doesn't feel crammed or overwhelming. I appreciate the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of the team here. They appear to have planned comfort over everything, because even the tables are crammed next to one another too close that you can hear your neighbor breathing. Plus, the space is bright and open with a clean and modern feel. I love that the large windows let in plenty of natural light and, when it is cooler out, a lovely breeze. Given the food, ambiance and service, it really is a perfect spot for brunch. Other food options include (and are sometimes on rotation): roasted salmon, duck tacos, short ribs, burgers and wood-fired pizzas. They also serve wine, beer and craft cocktails. They also have lots of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

    We had a 6pm restaurant but still wound up having to wait until 6:15 for our table to be ready…read more Which was no big deal, because they were very busy that night and they had a nice little waiting area. The host was very nice and personable so we didn't mind waiting at all. The decor/ambiance was nice throughout. Sadly we got seated at one of the bar height tables on the patio that had EXTREMELY uncomfortable tall metal chairs that had an unusual tilt to the seats leaning down towards the back (all 3 people in our party were super uncomfortable and left with horrible back back and numb legs). So just a tip, make sure you request to sit at a normal height table, they seemed fine in comparison as far as we observed. On a positive note, our waitress was very friendly and attentive, unfortunately we were not able to change tables when we asked but we understood because they were so busy. We were determined to make the best of it though because we were all really looking forward to the food and drinks after reading so many good reviews. We all ordered different specialty drinks which were fine, a little to syrupy and overly sweet for our taste but I could see how some might like that, the presentation was seriously lacking compared to the photos on their website though, again we just chalked this up to them being busy so no big deal, just a bummer because we wanted to cute tasty drinks for our ladies night out. The biggest bummer though was the food... We ordered everything our waitress recommended, so perhaps the kitchen was just having an off night because they were so busy.. It did take well over an hour to get served after ordering, but we are troopers and wouldn't have minded waiting so long if the chairs hadn't been so uncomfortable. But we were seriously disappointed with every dish, everything was "fine and edible" but lacked any real flavor. These are the dishes we had: Appetizer - Tabla de Antojitos (presentation was okay) platter included: Chicken barbacoa empanadas (very bland) Sweet potato, caramelized onion & chipotle taquitos (flavorless and used regular potato not sweet potato) Mini queso fundido (was literally just cheese and beans with no chorizo or seasoning at all) Bacon wrapped jalapenos (these were okay, just nothing special) Entrees - Enchiladas Marisco Suiza - Presentation was good, it was a pretty dish thanks to the sauce and looked promising, but unfortunately the food was very bland, seriously lacking in the flavor department. Birria de la Abuela - Presentation was lacking it looked like someone just threw the food on the plate, and it was edible but not good. Crispy Carnitas - This we all agreed was the most edible thing we got. Presentation was lacking, but the beans and carnitas had good flavor and was cooked just right. It still wasn't "great", but it was better than everything else we had ordered. Overall we were pleased with the staff we encountered during our visit all very friendly, but very disappointed in the food. We left in agreement that we could've spent a fraction of the cost at just about any of our local friendly taco shops for the same or similar dishes and had much better tasting food.
