    Watermelon Fresca
    Jim D.

    Saul provided us 5-star service and attention along with great food and healthy juices and smoothies. I had the Loma torta and my wife got the chicken torta, both were delicious with a capital 'D'! Get the salsa to level up the flavor. I ordered the Detox drink and my wife got the evergreen drink, both were made to order and fresh. The bread is fresh, soft and delivery by a local bakery. Their menu is deep with a lot of fresh juices, smoothies all made from scratch. You have a lot of choices in the area but the Mexican food here is authentic and made to order. They even have an app to pick up your order. If you need your coffee fix they open at 7 am. They have regular and arriving soon decaf Coffee. They have seats inside if you want to pull out your laptop. It is nice to see a New Mexican shop open here with authentic food and great service!! There is parking in this square and it's easy to find. We will be back. Thank you Saul!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Blueberry Kale Smoothie

    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.

    Natural High C Juice

    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.

    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 ordered it with nonfat milk I waited for only a couple of minutes for my drink to be made. During that time I saw that they were playing records and had several records for sale. That was really cool. If I lived in the area I would definitely hang out and listen to records while sipping on coffee. The reason for only 4 stars.... my charge was abut $8 which felt a bit stiff for only the 16 oz drink. It made me wary of what a 20 oz would cost. All in all, I had a good experience at The Simple Coffee House. My drink had good flavor without being overly sweet. I liked the records and the vibe at the coffeehouse.

It can get pretty busy so come early to prep. Seating: Chill plenty of seating both inside and outside. Good for small groups with room for about 30 people. Vibes: Welcome to Normal Heights nothing too flashy, just plenty of local eateries and businesses. The spot itself is relatively clean, modern, pretentious. I dig the 90s house music in the background. This seems to be a trusted neighborly coffee shop with students are working, friends are catching up, and regulars seem to know the staff by name. It helps there's a pizza shop next door as well. FOOD / DRINKS Cherie Amour (Recommend) Delish. A latte with housemade cherry and almond syrup, and if you get it iced, it comes topped with a little cold foam. I dig the sweetness and the fruitiness of the cherry, it balanced out the bitterness of the coffee which was pretty cool. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly and welcoming. Sara helped contribute to the neighborhood feel of the place and made the experience easy and enjoyable. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, reasonable prices, and a pleasant atmosphere. I know there are plenty of coffeeshops in SD but this is a cool neighborly one. It doesnt seem like a trendy place but a place more in community and steady service. Till next time, Scrimshaw!
