The lentil burger was the best burger I ever had! It was delicious! The staff were very nice too. Perfect date spot!

Awesome all around experience! Ordered the large BBQ pizza which was on special and the curry butternut squash soup with the BBQ sandwich. Our order was ready in 20min for pick up which was super and the Covid precautions for pick up made it clear they value the safety of their employees and customers! The food was incredible! The ingredients super fresh and the flavors combined in sweet harmony!! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if you are looking for vegetarian/vegan options or even if you're not and just looking for delicious healthy food! read more

I ordered the Greek Salad with "feta". It was delicious! I have been on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet and Fresca on Addison offered a large variety of options for me! read more

I'm not Vegan can't claim being Vegetarian but I love meat free meals. Tofu is one of my favorite foods right now so I decided to wait until I got to the Cap City til I ate, Fresca on Addison it was. Street parking was easy to find and that's a plus. I pulled up, walked in and liked the vibe. After scanning the menu for a moment, I was set. I'm old school so as soon as I saw, BBQ and knowing that it wasn't Beef or Pork, I ordered what was a BBQ Seitan Sandwich with ease. I'm not riding the Sriracha wave. A mi no me gusta. Service was cool. I sat sipping water, that I served myself--a plus and put my Kombucha I bought in my bag. The dude behind the counter warned me that it was strong.* I sat there, checking out the spot, snapping pics, reading the paper and thinking about the pizza I would order next time. By then my sandwich and quinoa salad were ready. My sandwich showed me that I prefer Tofu over Seitan but it was a bet. It was cool. I liked that it was warm and I liked the BBQ sauce. It wasn't overly sweet, it was just right. With the slaw on top, I guess that what it was, it was all veggie and no mayo, it was a great meal. *He pegged me for a rookie because it wasn't strong. read more

The chicken salad I had was amazing! The seitan gyro my mom had was disappointing. The lentil burger was a lentil burger... So go chicken salad and those delightful fries! read more

Everything was really fresh and delicious. Not 100% sure, but I think they make all of the pita in house. They make all of the cheese from scratch! Super yummy! Sandwiches and pizza were the stars of the show. read more

Holy ship this food is amazing. I was skeptical but came out a believer. Flavor texture sustenance color service. Definitely coming back.

Not only is the food here flavorful, but it is also delicious. Service is always friendly and helpful. I really like the bread they serve with the burgers. Plenty of options for sides as well. Prices are very reasonable. read more

Delicious food with lots of options---always nice for a vegan used to only 1-2 "safe" choices. Daughter had 3 uniquely flavored tacos that she loved. I had a large, fresh Greek salad. Nice staff too. read more

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant with, by far, some of the kindest people I have ever come across. Both of the people working behind the counter made sure that my partner and I knew that there was going to be a wait, but still ensured that we were both well taken care of. The restaurant itself also has impeccable vibes. I will have to frequent this place much more. read more

This place is a miracle. With an artsy exterior you can't miss, you will be transported into a haven for vegetarians and vegans. Not everything here is vegan, but all items on the menu can be made vegan. Although the pizza looked really good, I have not met a vegan cheese I like, so I played it safe and ordered the black bean burger and the butternut squash soup. My friend ordered tacos, which come in a set of three, as well as a cup of butternut squash soup. Since it was a pretty brisk January day that we had spent exploring outside, we needed food that was hearty and warm. Fresca's delivered! The flavors in my black bean burger were out of this world and everything about the sandwich flowed together perfectly. My omnivore friend loved her selections, and we both fell head over heels in love with the soup, especially to dip my sandwich in!! It helped that the bread on my sandwich had just been made in the brick oven onsite for my order! If I'm ever in Richmond again, I think I'll have to give the vegan pizza a try! With that brick oven, I'm sure it will be amazing! read more

One of the few all vegetarian spots in Richmond and they can make pretty much everything vegan, which is awesome. Food is consistently great. I've tried a bunch of their offerings but my favorite, hands down, is the vegan chicken salad. Soooo good! Even non-veg friends would love it. Their sides are pretty good as well. They have an awesome mustard potato salad (which I usually hate anywhere else, but here it's delish!) and the brussell sprouts are definitely worth a try. The only downside to this place are their hours. They're only open for lunch Tues-Sat. It's be awesome if they were open for dinner. read more

This place is THE Vegan spot in Richmond! They have the best all-vegan food, many options, and all handmade! I love the staff for being so kind and friendly, great guys to have a conversation with. Their work ethic and creativity is also unbeatable. If you haven't already, go check this place out!! read more

The "chicken" salad sandwich alone is enough to give this place 5 stars! I was so impressed by this vegan restaurant - fresh, delicious food for a good price, and no meat! Great restaurant, I'll definitely be back! read more

Fresca on Addison has always been a great, convenient spot for tasty, quick food with vegan and GF options. This place was my saving grace during my VCU days and I haven't been back since pre-COVID. I think it's under new ownership because the food is even better than I remember. Very fresh and flavorful-- grateful Fresca has managed to thrive given these trying times. Highly recommend for all my vegan/ vegetarian/gluten-sensitive folks. read more

Fresh, flavorful awesome vegan/vegetarian food. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy this place. The chicken salad sandwich was AMAZING. The pita used was super fresh and ingredients were balanced just right. Total hit! Their pizza is decent, although the dough/crust was nothing to write home about. My only gripe is that their hours are very strange. They are only open 10AM-4PM which really limits people who work a 9-5 job. I kind of get the family business vibe from them so I guess it makes sense! read more

I am so happy to have discovered this hidden gem only walking distance to my home! This place rocks for a bunch of reasons; First one is cuz you can get anything on the menu vegan or gluten free. You can get a gluten free crust pizza with daia cheese. Simple. Second; they offer a good variety in thin crust pizza and sandwiches (Personally speaking, my fav is the lentil burger. Such a fulfilling sandwich with great consistency. Very good mock patty) From pizzas; I tried the pesto pizza today and l loved it. It has some tiny surprise potato chunks on it (surprise cuz you don't expect potatoes on your pizza, even though it is written on the menu). Third reason to love this place; They have a good selection of craft kombuchas as well as pure coconut water back in the fridge (it is hard to choose so get them both). Last but not least; The staff is very friendly and down-to-earth. FYI They always offer couple of different soups and a few side dishes such as potato salad, pineappleslaw etc. for quick snacks. read more

THIS IS NOW (tied for) MY FAVORITE PLACE TO EAT IN RICHMOND - meat eaters, vegans, veggies, everyone should come to this place. Absolutely phenomenal food - beautifully prepared and presented - and everything, EVERYTHING, can be made vegan. The whole menu is basically vegan but they have feta and mozzarella as options for a couple of dishes. BUT FOR THE MEAT EATERS OUT THERE : I have taken tons of meat-eating friends here and NONE of them has ever been anything other than extremely blown away by the food. They love it. The slogan here is that you don't miss the meat and it's true. This is good food made by good people. Plain and simple. The only complaint I've ever heard about this place EVER is that they have limited hours (11-4, Tues-Sat) but the thing is, I completely appreciate why they do this - the owner/head chef wants to be completely in control of the quality of every dish that leaves her kitchen and because of that she only is open when she can be there. I respect that a lot. I'm currently working my way through the entire menu but for now some of my favorites are, basically everything I've ever eaten here: the curry veg tacos, sushi sandwich, kale Caesar, the orzo side, potato salad, the cookie, broccolini sandwich, LENTIL BURGER - to be sure, it's just all so good. Today I'm trying the pesto pizza. I have complete faith that it will be fantastic. They're cooking it right now. :) Do yourself a favor. Eat here. Eat here often. read more

Fresca doesn't hate meat, they just don't serve it. Vegan, vegetarian, or omnivore, there is something here you won't just like, but love. They have a brick oven for making amazing pizzas, soup to kill for, and rotating goodies that you will rationalize eating more or because you are so well beforehand. read more

I'm obsessed with the Greek Salad Sandwich! Obsessed. I cannot get enough of this vegetarian delight, and it has truly become my most-craved sandwich as of late. I don't know where they get the pita bread, but that whole wheat pita is pillowy soft and unlike any other pita I've had. Maybe it's because it's paired with lettuce, tomatoes, pepperoncinis, Greek dressing and feta, which sounds so simple, but comes together in a beautiful explosion of flavors. They also serve the pita slightly warm, which is just the perfect pairing with the crisp veggies. I had an errand to run in Carytown this afternoon around 3pm, and I purposefully didn't eat lunch so that I could pick up one of these beauties for an oddly timed meal. In fact, half of it is waiting for me in the fridge, and my tastebuds are super stoked to have it for dinner, too! I'm also a fan of their vegan pizzas with wheat crust, because even though I'm not vegan, I'm a sucker for vegan cheese. Weird, I know. I've tried the tacos, too, and they're pretty darn tasty. I've had the chorizo, seitan, and avocado and would recommend one of each (you can mix and match) to taste a variety of flavors. I couldn't tell you which was my favorite; I enjoyed all three. If you're in the mood for a delicious vegetarian meal, in a casual (order-at-the-counter), unpretentious setting, go here. And on that note, my sammie is calling my name... read more

All vegetarian food, most of it can be made vegan. Very healthy offerings and super tasty. I love all the little paintings that have been done on the walls of their character. The lighting was kind of dim when I went in but that was really my only complaint. They had four different wines and a small beer selection as well. Mostly sandwiches with some entrees, all prepared in easy view of the dining room. You go to the counter and order and they bring you your food. They have vegan and vegetarian desserts on the counter and some market-type foodstuffs you can buy to take home with you (like at 8 1/2) along the counterside where food is prepared. It looked like it was mostly sandwiches and pizza, which I wasn't interested in eating while I was there. I picked an entree, the curry. That was a really great curry! I'd definitely love to have that again. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Very relaxed, friendly and open. read more

I wanted something "light" for lunch and chose to embark on Fresca. Every time I head over to Lamplighter Roaster this place always caught my attention. So today was its lucky day! The board menu is located on the north side wall. I don't have the patients to glance at everything so I always ask the people who work the counter for their recommendations. The kind lady behind the prep line heard my indecisiveness on which to order. She recommended the Veggie Plate - it's light but you won't feel overstuffed, as I said "OK!! I'll take that..." the young women behind the cash register shouted out, "How about a Tomato Pita Sandwich?!" then said "I'll take that instead!!" See what I mean by indecisive? So I wait and was starving! I beat the lunch crowd and placed myself near the window overlooking Cary St... Food came and the first bite was HEAVEN!!! The Pineapple Cole Slaw was a refreshing side dish that complemented the summer aroma of the Tomatoe Pita Sandwich. I was so full, but not overstuffed by the time I took the last bite but I couldn't stop. :) I'd love to try their other dishes. SOOON! read more

If you are a vegetarian, you should go. If you are not a vegetarian, you should go. If you're a raging tiger-like carnivore you should go. It's delicious. Every single last thing on this menu is delicious. Their pitas are made fresh and are warm and fluffy unlike the stale nonsense you buy at the grocery store. The sides are delicious and my favorite is the apple/fennel slaw. Holy hell. I have gotten the greek salad pita, the broccolini with white bean spread. Amazing. My little brother got the BBQ plate when he visited and he loved it. It is all made right on site and you can watch it being made while you wait. Tip: DO NOT DISCOUNT THE GLUTEN FREE/VEGAN DESSERTS! I almost did and I really would have missed one of the most delicious chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. No need for all that. As the other reviews state - yes you have to seat yourself, get your own silverware, put your stuff away, etc but let's be real folks - you have to do the same thing at Panera or Chipotle so if that takes away from your dining experience, this may not be a good fit for you. read more

the pizza here is fantastic. fresh food just like the sign says. the folks serving are kind as well.

I went here on a lunch date with a friend and got the vegan potato and onion pizza. She got BBQ seitan wrap sandwich. Both were delicious.

I'm the type of person to ALWAYS, and I really do mean ALWAYS have to have to have meat in my meals. This place though....this place has excellent vegan meat. I had the Greek pizza and my friends had the spicy sausage pita sandwich and that thing was BOMB. My friend just made a lifestyle change to vegan, so I was supporting her and eating here. It turned out to amazing. Highly recommend it for vegans and those open to change. Great variety and options to fit all taste buds read more

Found a hair in my food. Also the 'pizza' flatbread was so burnt around the edges. Super disappointing. YMMV

Get the broccolini sandwich with a side of brussels sprouts and be full and happy. This place is a great little local vegetarian/vegan restaurant. Pizzas, sandwiches and other surprisingly filling items make up most of the menu. Service can be a little slow so plan accordingly when there for a weekday lunch or some such thing. read more

Good food- horrible customer service. Morgan the Assistant Manager should never be a frontline supervisor to handle complaints. She is extremely disrespectful and doesn't honor the notion of protecting the integrity of small businesses. Extremely combative, cuts you off and instead of being more customer focused or solution oriented, they communicate "it's not my fault " fashion ... bad bad bad experience. Customer service is the reputation of all businesses regardless of size. Update was contacted by the owner who provided excellent resolve. The owner went above and beyond to make matters whole and because of that reason, I will resume supporting this business. read more

I have eaten at this restaurant multiple times and the food has been outstanding. Today I ate from this restaurant and there were two new female cooks that I've never seen before and the food was awful. I ordered a falafel sandwich with fries and the fries were cold. The falafel tasted like it was fried in very old grease. If I return to this restaurant and these two cooks are there to serve me I will walk the other direction. read more
