Fresh Monkee - La Costa — Restaurant in Carlsbad

This use to be the absolute best healthy shake place around. I was so addicted. I would go daily. All of a sudden, the shakes stopped being-consistent - missing key ingredients. My last Stawberry moon was misding the chocolate cookie crumbles (the best part) and was made with 1% milk instead of the Almond milk I requested. The shake before that was missing the dates I added and was charged for. The morning crew has a lot of friends visiting. While the staff is relatively friendly and polite, the attention to basic details is not there. I hope they find it again soon, as I loved this place. Mabey the afternoon crew...

Every time I visit, I’m greeted with a warm welcome—Craig, the owner, clearly takes pride in creating a friendly, community-focused environment.

The ingredients are always fresh, the menu is creative and customizable, and whether you’re fueling up post-workout or just looking for a nutritious snack, there’s something for everyone. I really appreciate that they prioritize health without sacrificing flavor.

Craig’s passion for wellness and customer service really sets this place apart. You can tell he genuinely cares about every customer’s experience. Highly recommend stopping by if you're...

I stopped by Fresh Monkee and tried the chocolate pumpkin smoothie and wow, it was absolutely amazing. Perfectly blended, rich in flavor, and the kind of treat you feel good about enjoying.

But as great as the smoothie was, the real highlight was the owner, Craig. He was incredibly laid back, friendly, and genuinely personal in the way he connected with customers. Craig offered us some tasty peanut butter chocolate balls as a snack; such a thoughtful touch and seriously delicious!

If you’re looking for high-quality smoothies and a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe, Fresh Monkee...
