A clean & pleasantly decorated establishment greeted by lovely kind staff. I really appreciate the attentiveness from Giza & Angie for explaining Vegan & Gluten Free options on the menu. Angie provided me the GF bread they have available so I could read over the ingredients. I had the Veggie Omelet with added chicken & no bread. The omelet was the smallest I’ve ever had at a restaurant with a LOT of mozzarella cheese, a bit more than expected. My Dad had the Chicken Quesadilla. The food was good but portions rather small for the overall cost. You can see by the pictures. The only real turnoff for us was having our hot meals placed in closed plastic takeout containers to dine-in. I was told this has been since 2020 but we’re well past that & I really just wish there was less plastic waste & food on real plates because no matter how clean the food, the off-gassing of plastic into hot food is not at all appealing nor nourishing. I could tell the water was filtered which was nice but again, I’m not a fan of drinking out of plastic. For the amount paid I expected to eat on real plates without the waste. My only suggestion to improve the dining experience would be to provide real plates, cups, & utensils to those who are dining in. Thank You Giza for the...
Read moreI do not know where to even start with bombarding Fresca Vida with nothing but compliments! I’ve been staying for almost four months in Clearwater as my boyfriend was getting treatments. We had to completely change our diet and this is where Fresca Vida helped me out a lot as we had lunch there almost every day! Less cooking for me and it is only five minutes away from the clinic he was getting treatments at. Aysegul, who is the owner has been exceptional! Not only is she a very hardworking, humble person with incredible proper etiquette, she had a smile on her face every time I’ve seen her. Her and her whole staff are amazing people, who really make you feel very welcome and just create a beautiful ambiance! There has not been one dish that wasn’t good! Every dish was very flavorful and made one enjoy eating healthy! Our favorite juice is the Clearwater juice! It is very refreshing and healthy at the same time! Every fruit I ate at Fresca Vida is fresh and tasty! The meals are delicious and I already miss eating the Mexicali bowl or the Down Dog Açaí bowl! Aysegul, if you are reading this I want you thank you very much for everything! There should be more people such as yourself! We already miss you and your lovely...
Read moreI've searched for vegan and/or vegetarian options online and decided to visit "Fresca Vida".
The place is nicely decorated, airy and clean with a fresh and healthy vibe.
The staff is lovely.
Don't expect to get your order within no time. It is freshly prepared for you and that takes time.
Don't expect the food to taste the same way as at conventional restaurants. The ingredients are all natural and non-processed, none of the foods taste overly salty, very sweet or artificially elevated. If you are not used to natural food, you might be disappointed.
I've had the "Protein Smoothie in a Bowl", which was good but could have been elevated by adding some fruit with natural acidity to make the taste pop more. This way it tasted a little flat.
The "Avocado Egg Wrap" was good. I would order it again.
The "Vegan Brownie" was delicious and just sweet enough with a light cocao bitterness to it - I'm hooked.
I will visit again and try other options.
Update: I visited, again, and had two Bliss balls as a dessert, a "Walnut Cocao Bliss" and a "Lemon Turmeric Bliss" - both...
