They specialise in different variety of drinks including fresh squeezed juices, smoothies, aguas frescas and even raspados. They also serve some snacks and sandwichies. I have tried their Blue Hawaii smoothie and pineapple agua fresca and they were fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and welcoming too. This juice bar is not too big but has enough space inside to sit down and enjoy your drinks. If you are in the area and looking for fresh drinks, then definitely try this place. read more

I've been coming to this place for years...the previous gentleman owner was always nice and welcoming. Unfortunately, the last few times I've been here, the two ladies that run it are not welcoming at all. They always seem unhappy and bothered when placing an order. No "hello" or "thank you". As a business owner myself, I always greet people and make them feel welcome. Fortunately, there are other choices for us as consumers. read more

This place has lots of options for smoothies and juices . The service sucked , a lady who was on the phone when we walked in, helped us. She was rude and you can tell she was annoyed with our presence. We ordered one orange cooler smoothie with protein, there was literally no orange in it . It just tasted like strawberry milk. My girlfriend ordered the watermelon cooler and it has no flavor at all. While we were there I saw the same lady treat another customer terribly, she even rolled her eyes at her! That's wild . I wouldn't come back the smoothies are basic, and the customer service is cringe. read more

**June 2021 Visit** Was looking for something refreshing to quench my thirst and Papayas Juice Bar happened to be in the same shopping strip I was at. The store is intimate and has two indoor tables for patrons to enjoy their beverages or snacks. After looking at the hand-written menu above the cashier my mom and I decided on the following. Mango Manila: Mango, Pineapple Juice Mucho Berry: Frozen Yogurt, Banana, Orange, Berry Mix Drinks came in four sizes: Small $4.95, Medium $5.50, Large $5.95, SX $7.95 and we decided to go with the Large - go big or go home? right? Wow the Mango Manila was extremely rich and creamy. The mango tasted ripe and was a winner by my book. Great drinks and it was just what I needed to recharge from a hot and sweaty afternoon. read more

Went to Papaya's today and as I was trying to pay for my stuff using a card, this guy pressed the 20% tip button as he turned the credit card terminal towards me. Then he quickly walked away to tell me that he's going to make it right away. I pressed the back button to get back on the tip screen and made that tip zero! Don't try to be slick and steal from your customers. I know the excuse will be "Oh, my finger slipped" Nope, your finger PRESSED on that 20% and you made sure that the only screen I saw was the total! read more

I'm not sure why someone finally said 'Thanks' to my review, after 4 months. I gave 1 Star for Grace. But, if one is practicing Witchcraft, Daniel Adams would be the One to go to for Deliverance. The reason why I'm saying this is because I noticed when I came to the Shop, the woman was less engaging when I wore my sparkly vest...And, the time I came in- woman was happier when I came to the shop all sloppy and on an off day ,I was having. And, she was more pleasant and offered better customer service....which, was nice. But, it was weird coz I felt she was happy I looked more sloppier. But, when the next time I came to the shop, dressed up and looking Great, she gave me dagger eyes...This Experience made me feel very Uncomfortable.....But, Jesus Loves you and wants you to Encounter Him. God Bless, Bless, Bless you. I want to mention I Appreciate the shorter Hispanic woman in the kitchen.... I don't think she speaks English. Who smiled at me. And, that was Beautiful.

Stopped by into this hole in the wall juice bar after eating at TJ Oyster Bar next door and it was the best decision. I got the strawberry luicado and papaya flavor as well. To top it off, saw how refreshing the fruit salad looked so I ordered myself one too! The fruit salad came with the following fruits: cantaloupe, pineapple, watermelon, papaya, strawberry, banana, oats, raisins, and cottage cheese. Honey is provided as a side if needed. Honey is a must in this case, it sure enhances the flavor! I really enjoyed the drinks as it was light and refreshing. For the drinks, you can decide whether you want it with whole cow milk, 2% or with almond milk. Great varieties and selections to pick from! Although this location is rather far from where I live, it will always be on the list when I am back in the area. read more

Papayas Juice Bar is located in a small parking lot off Bonita Rd in between Bonita Dog Grooming and Bonita Barber Shop. It was my first time at the location and ordering anything from there as I was craving a smoothie and a sandwich. The cashier (with glasses) was very polite and welcoming. She suggested some sandwiches and paninis that were very popular. I ended up ordering a Turkey Pesto Panini and a Tropical Island Smoothie to go. I did have to wait a bit for my order since they were somewhat busy. While driving home, the smoothie was very refreshing and almost finished it before getting home. The turkey pesto panini was very delicious, fresh and warm. The cheese was melted in between the sourdough bread with the turkey, tomato, mayo and pesto. I definitely want to return to try more items but may get that turkey panini again. read more

A great spot for sandwiches, smoothies, and snacks. The workers are very friendly. I used to get their turkey pesto panini with a smoothie special. Now we get their turkey torta and chicken jalapeno torta. We always ask for extra jalapenos because they go so well with the sandwiches and tortas. The smoothies that we usually get are the Blue Hawaii, Watermelon Cooler, and Tropical Island. I have had their chamango too and you can also get different flavored smoothies chamango style. We usually like to call in our order. read more

1st time here. This fruit bar is located in bonita, drive slow are you could miss it. It's located in a small business plaza. They offer an array of salad, fresh fruits, sandwiches, smoothies amongst other tasty menu items. Everything is reasonable priced. Customer service great. The gentlemen was very patience and knowledgeable as it relates to me ordering plus the menu. Extremely clean inside. Tables were wiped down. No visible trash. Delicious torta and smoothie. I ordered ham added turkey torta plus a large tropical island smoothie. Both were delicious. The torta was a nice size... I ordered the half portion. The bread very soft and fluffy. Definitely a plus. The veggies tasted fresh and vibrant. The smoothie was delicious as well. Very refreshing on a cool day. Will return in the future to try more menu items. read more

This review is mainly about the service. (I also don't write reviews on places unless the service is actually just horrible) I went today, I started my order and the lady turned around after asking for the first two things without even letting me finish my order. I figured that when she came back with the first things I'd let her know that I wanted one more thing. She then came back with the first two things which were a sandwich and a smoothie. She asked "will that be all" and I said I would like another sandwich. I don't know what triggered her but I could tell she thought I was telling her that the sandwich was made wrong when that was not at all what I was telling her I was simply telling her I wanted another one (she btw kept repeating this for like 2 minutes before she realized that I was telling her I wanted one more sandwich). In the many years I've been coming here she has always had some sort of attitude, but this time she was actually so rude. Her tone and her expressions towards me were horrible. She needs to keep her attitude in check. So many people who have gone here that I know always speak of her horrible demeanor (so I know it isn't just me).

It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink.

Food: Chili Crisp BFast Sando- (Biroche, Egg, Cheese, Bacon, Chiptole Aioli, Sesame Chili Crisp) Tots with House Seasoning - with Ranch Cup of Coffee Buko Pandan Latte Hot & Cold First the drinks were yummy. The hot Buko Pandan was stronger in flavor than the cold/iced drink. The tots were yummy and crisped perfectly but I'm not sure about the supposedly ranch dip. It was tangy for me. The Chilio Crisp Bfast Sando was delicious. It was so good that I want to return soon and have it again. The worker taking our order was very nice. He even mentioned about a restaurant in Vegas and asked if I've ever tried it-Public Us and yes I have. Overall, a great spot that can get very busy in the AM. The front window area has seats on one side and seats outside. It worked for us. Definitely will return.

I ordered sushi from hakosushibox.com and got there at the pick up time. My food was ready to go. I ordered sushi combo A: one classic roll, one specialty and one drink enough for 1 person...maybe one ravenous person. I got spicy tuna, dynamite scallop and a Diet Coke. The total came out to $25. I don't have any complaints. I'm still on the search for decent sushi that's average priced to replace Sushi Diner that was lost.

I ordered the Chicken Katsu with fries, and it's consistently a good-sized portion. The only downside is that it's a bit pricey for what you get. For drinks, I ordered the Mango Pandan Blend, which was different but the combo works. I also ordered the Pandan Coffee, but it was much sweeter than I expected. I also happened to see one of the employees cutting open Vietnamese instant coffee packets while preparing drinks, which honestly caught me off guard and changed my expectations a bit. In total, three items came out to over $30, so it can add up pretty quickly. Overall, the food and drinks are decent, but between the pricing and my experience with the coffee, I'm not sure it's a place I'd visit often.

Coming back last night and seeing all the changes was pretty neat! The owner, Sarah, came out to greet us and personally took care of us, which made the experience feel even more special. I ordered the single burger, and my buddy went with the sliders. Both were solid not dry at all, and you could really taste the great quality of the meat. Sarah shared with us that she and her husband source their beef directly from Monterrey, Mexico, just three hours from the Texas border (you can even fly straight there from the TJ airport!). The meat is grass-fed and hormone-free, and it definitely shows in the flavor and juiciness of the patties. My single burger was juicy and packed with flavor, and the truffle fries were amazing crispy, savory, and perfectly seasoned. I love supporting local spots like this, especially when you can feel the passion behind what they do. Thanks for the great night, Sarah and the Lopez family can't wait to come back soon

Everything tasted fresh and the ingredients were high quality. The flavor was excellent, and the chipotle-style sauce brought it all together. I also ordered a papaya agua fresca, which was incredibly refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. It tasted fresh, natural, and wasn't overly sweet like many other drinks. The wrap was a little smaller than I expected for the price, but the freshness, quality, and flavor more than made up for it. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and the menu offers a great variety of healthy options, including smoothies, juices, salads, and bowls. If you're looking for a fresh, healthy meal that's packed with flavor, Fresheria is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back to try more of the menu on my next visit. Highly recommend!

There's plenty of parking and both indoor and outdoor seating, which is always a plus. I loved seeing such a big variety of options -- fresh juices, salads, bowls, and other healthy choices -- but also some traditional Mexican items you'd find at a tiendita like tortas, aguas frescas, and tostilocos. A really nice blend of nutritious meals and fun treats. I ordered the sandwich meal, and the price felt very reasonable for the size of the sandwich and the generous side of lentil soup it came with. They also offer coffee and lots of canned drinks to go. One thing to note: my to‑go order took a bit longer than expected, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush. I was so hungry I scarfed it down before I could snap a pic, but trust me -- it looked delicious. Overall, it's great to finally have a spot in this area with healthy, good‑quality options on the go.

Unfortunately, all of their smoothie and bowl bases are pre-sweetened and half of them are just rice milk. Aside from some berry and other fresh fruit toppings, there is virtually no whole food at this place. It probably wouldn't have bothered me that much, but their entire marketing strategy is geared toward health and wellness. Everbowl is anything but that. It's effectively a milkshake with a scoop of metamucil. Unless your carb-loading for an ultramarathon, I'd skip this place.
