The balance is what keeps me coming back: fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and a rich base in every bite. Everything tastes fresh and well put together. Honestly, I'm lucky this place is only 3 minutes from home. It's an easy go-to.

My first visit to Fruitylicious! I had the Birria grilled cheese sandwich on sourdough bread, and…read moreit was an incredible choice. Esmeralda, who made my order, was so friendly and welcoming, guiding me through the menu and letting me know that the Birria grilled cheese is a favorite. Now, about the sandwich--wow! It was buttery toasted and packed with an impressive amount of cheese and meat, truly a delightful indulgence. It also came with a side of consomé for dipping, along with a refreshing lime slice, which complemented the flavors perfectly. Fruitylicious offers a fantastic range of options since they've transitioned from being a cheese grill sandwich place to a full-service spot with both Mexican and American cuisine. Besides the grilled cheese, they also have ice cream, shakes, fruit juices, and specialty drinks that I can't wait to try on my next visit. If you're looking for a delicious meal and a warm atmosphere, I highly recommend stopping by. You won't regret it and bring the kids as they have Jenga and Connect for fun for the family.

Went back to Fruitylicious for lunch. This time I chose the Birra Burritos for takeout. They…read moresounded interesting and I do love birria. The burritos were served as three mini burritos with a side of onions, cilantro and crumbly queso as toppings along with a cup of consommé for dipping. Upon arriving home, I immediately poured the consommé from the Styrofoam container into a real vessel that won't leach carcinogens into my food. I abhor Styrofoam. Then I tore into the first little burrito. Delicious! Packed with tender juicy beef and packed with flavor! The consommé was excellent. Rich and flavorful. I was only able to manage two and saved one for the next day's lunch. Excellent!

I was surprised that it was shaken in a cocktail mixer so it was more frothy which gave it a good texture. None of the mentioned flavors stood out over the others so it was well balanced and wasn't overly sweet which I appreciated. He also asked if I wanted coffee ice for $1 more. Ice made from coffee, never heard of that before what an idea! They are a stand alone small building across the parking lot that they share with Estradas Mexican Food. I loved that they were hand shaken. I'll certainly return to try other cold brew drinks. They also have smoothies and açaí bowls.

Got in at about 4 on a Friday, since I had to go to work at 4:30, (I work a 2 minute walk away, so I thought I had plenty of time.) Placed my order (Just 1 smoothie) and the place did not seem very busy, there ended up only being 3 drinks that were ordered before mine, but it took until 4:29 for my order to be ready, at least 25 minutes from when I ordered, I barely got to work on time and had very little time to actually drink the smoothie I got. I work in the service industry so I was hesitant to even ask about my order until just a few minutes before that, and the young lady making the smoothies seemed to be in no rush, very slowly walking in the back, and she kept hand-fanning her face every thirty seconds or so. While I was waiting, the 'next shift' of workers came in, and they seemed just as frustrated with her as everyone inside was, perhaps a bit better at hiding it. Unfortunately this experience is heavily discouraging, I can't see myself coming in before work anymore unless I schedule a reservation in the hopes I get my drink at a reasonable time.

The frozen yogurt is self-serve with plenty of flavors to choose from. I got the French vanilla and my girls got strawberry, and we topped ours with Hawaiian Hawaiian Delight Sorbet. Everything was delicious! The topping bar had so many choices, and everything we picked tasted fresh. They also have a pretty large menu beyond frozen yogurt, including teas, milkshakes and other drinks and treats, so we'll definitely have to try some of those next time. It was really hot the day we went, so we were glad there was seating inside. There are only a few tables indoors, but they also have more tables outside with umbrellas. The person who rang us up was very nice. They also have a punch card where you can earn $5 off a future purchase after buying a certain number of yogurts or shakes, which is a nice bonus because we already know we'll be back. This is definitely going to become one of our regular family spots!

This was my first time and I was absolutely delighted! This popular self-serve frozen yogurt shop…read moreis located in Santee among other shops and restaurants. Known for its wide variety of rotating yogurt flavors, numerous toppings, and other treats like boba, shaved ice, and coffee (yes, coffee)! Staff were friendly and helpful, making great recommendations (since it was our first time). The vibe was cheerful and pleasant. They had a great indoor and outdoor space to enjoy your delicious treats! It is a bit pricey compared to other froyo shops! But they do offer a loyalty program which offers a stamp card for frequent customers. Overall, the frozen yogurt was creamy and slightly tangy. The dole whip and pomegranate sorbet were the perfect combination of sweet and citrus flavors. My daughter is pretty basic- she ordered plain vanilla with boba. And she said it was the best she had ever had! We will definitely be back for more!

I enjoy their signature lattes when I'm in the mood for a sweet treat. On my recent visit, I ordered the Havana Latte. The vanilla powder helps give the drink a slightly creamer texture, and the caramel adds a nice touch. Obviously this drink is on the sweeter side, but I'd also say it's not overpowering, you can still get some of that coffee taste. Their americanos are strong, and their drip coffee is good. When I'm ordering those, I like to keep them black and avoid the creams and sugars, but they do offer simple creamer and sugars at their coffee station if you want to doctor hours up a bit. I haven't been to their other location, but this one does have some small food items and prepackaged pastries if you need a quick bite. My friends have also purchased their retail coffee beans and enjoyed them. I'll have to grab some myself and update when I do. If you're going to get a sweet drink, I'd highly recommend ditching the Starbucks usual and give this place a try instead. They do have a drive-thru as well, but PLENTY of parking is available.
