Freshii

Delicious quick breakfast. I had the egg, mushroom, spinach, goat cheese grilled pocket. The food is fresh, tasty, and the staff is pleasant and helpful.

Trying to be a healthier version of chipotle I guess. But the flavored were way too overpowering. You can’t have a good meal of you can barely taste the food because of the sauce. Not too «freshii» with all that sauce. And the chicken tastes like shredded can chicken or something lol why is it so soft and not chicken like!

One of my go-​to lunch options on the west side. I have never had a bad meal here. Love how they shake up the salads for you so everything is pre-​mixed right before you eat.
I would have to say the mediterranean bowl is a favorite, with quinoa, greens, tomatoes, red peppers, cucumber, kalamata, almonds, and feta. Such a great balance, and they throw on a red pepper sauce that is to die for. Also doesn’t hurt not having that bloated, tired post-​lunch depression you get from other places.
Staff is super friendly and willing to give opinions for those who can’t make up their mind.
Low-​down: Diverse menu, quality ingredients, friendly staff. 5 stars every time i go.

Sometimes I feel fat and decide to try and eat healthy… When this happens, I usually eat at Freshii. The food is great and they claim that eating it is good for your health. I would suggest that you eat here next time you’re feeling fat. Also, don’t be cheap; add a juice and a smoothie to your meal.

I was so excited to see a Freshii location in the Madison area as I am a native Chicagoan and they are everywhere throughout the city. Freshii is a FRESH fast food eatery that offers healthy salads, wraps, bowls, burritos, soups, frozen yogurt, juices, and smoothies. My go to menu item is the Freshii Green Smoothie. It’s loaded with kale, spinach, pineapple, and avocado and always satisfies. The best part about this green smoothie is that you can taste the green and it tastes great.

Tried this spot out in an effort to grab a decent salad. We had the metaboost salad with tofu and buffalo chicken wrap. Somewhat underwhelming, the tofu was not cooked and the chicken was an unrecognizable pulp. Most concerning is the complete absence of nutritional info from their menus and websites. If your brand is healthy fresh food, why not provide nutritional info? I would suspect it is because their food is not as healthy as advertised.

Great food but prices were okay I guess. Their smoothies and green juice were over priced for the amount you get. And they messed up on my order and looked at me like it was my fault. Maybe they should do a better job at training the cashier…

Freshii is okay. I sort of have a love/​hate relationship with it, and I wish I could give it more than three stars.
I really like the concept of fresh ingredients, fresh food, minimal processing and vegan options. The idea behind Freshii is wonderful. But I really don’t like the mediocre food that I receive at Freshii along with the high prices. The majority of the burritos at Freshii are just brown rice and/​or quinoa — so you’re paying upwards of $ 10 for a bunch of grains. The $ 5.99 smoothies also come in little 8 oz. cups and taste very yogurt-​y, so I don’t know how much of the pineapple, spinach or other fruits and veggies really even make up the smoothie.
The meals I’ve had at Freshii have always been in need of more seasoning, more salsa, more sauce, more salt/​pepper, or something else.
Chipotle has a somewhat similar «fresh food» concept, and you get much more flavor and a similar quantity of food for a lower price at Chipotle. So in my opinion, Chipotle still wins.

I really love that a place like this exists in Madison, especially away from downtown where the only fast food options are otherwise decidedly unhealthy. Freshii smelled good walking in the door and didn’t disappoint.
Walking up to the counter the employees were friendly and helpful, taking me through their three main options (wraps, bowls, burritos). There’s quite a few choices within each category, but they had a few suggestions ready when I asked for guidance. They explained to me that all the dishes start vegetarian but that you can add meat if interested. I was starting to work up a thirst too so they showed me the smoothies and juices.
I settled on a Tex Mex burrito (brown rice, black beans, corn, avocado, aged cheddar, pico de gallo, salsa) and a Green Energy Juice (apple, cucumber, kale, lemon, carrot, romaine, spinach) based on their suggestions. The juice price irk’d me a bit at $ 6, but I like to give new things a chance so I stomached that cost this time around. The result? Let’s just say it’s probably an acquired taste, and while I’m sure some of the other juices are a bit more accessible, the green energy one was too earthy for my palate.
The Burrito on the other hand was excellent. Great size, nice grill marks, well packed, and like the name of the place says — very fresh. Two bites in I could tell it was a lot better than the usual fare from the likes of Chipotle and Qdoba, and I loved the smattering of ingredients as well as the fact that there were so many other options to try in the future. I had just had Chipotle a few days earlier and am growing increasingly bugged by the fact that they skimp on the portions these days and don’t have any innovation. Freshii gives you what you paid for.
Speaking of cash-​money, that’s the one thing Freshii could improve on. I get it, fresh ingredients. But if you want to convince patrons that this is a reasonable alternative to the unhealthy competition there needs to be a little bridging the gap. my Burrito with chicken and a juice was $ 16, which is a far cry from the $ 9 – 10 at Chipotle for similar items. Like I said before, you get an upgrade for that price, but certainly something to improve on. Or maybe just skip the juice.
Quit killing yourself on that fried food next door, and come here to feast on delicious vegetables

So the food is decent but the only thing that really irks me about this place is the smoothies. Isn’t the whole point of a smoothie a bunch a fruit and a little frozen yogurt? Their smoothies are a tiny 8oz full glass of frozen yogurt and literally like 2 or three pieces of fruit. For $ 7 for a smoothie give us our money’s worth. You can get all fruit smoothies at the farmers market for half that price.

I visited Freshii during a weekday morning for their «chipotfrii» promo (½ of any Mexican item).
The breakfast burrito contains scrambled eggs, salsa, beans, cheese, and avocado. I appreciated the avocado, as it was exactly ripe, and the burrito was griddle pressed after assembly. I did notice the fresh juices on the menu, but I’m not sure if I will ever pay $ 6 for a juice, even though my understanding is that this is an average juice price.
The interior is very large, super clean and polished, and has free wifi. No other customers were present during my visit.
I would consider visiting for a more virtuous lunch than the majority of restaurants in this area.

I first ate at a Freshii in Boston last year. I was so excited to find out that I could get Freshii in Madison too! It’s definitely got a California feel to it. Spacious, bright, plant décor on the wall, tall ceilings.
When I ate there today for the first time, I was so relieved to be in that kind of space… Nice change from the plentiful burger and beer joints.
The Metaboost salad without goat cheese was delicious. It was no problem to add the beet slaw and corn. I had a Mighty Detox too. Yum. My brave carnivore friend had the Buddha Satay bowl and a smoothie. He had to request some extra sauce for the bowl which was a little dry, but other than that invests filling and delicious. Oh, and the cookies were sooooo good! Very coconutty.
Clearly this should be Google Map bookmarked for health-​conscious vegans in Madison. Thanks, Freshii!

They have nutritious options, but it’s not nearly as across-​the-​board healthy as their marketing would have you believe. There are a few too many calorie and sodium bombs on the menu for a place that’s pitching itself as healthy. You have to be careful with your choices or else you’ll end up with more calories and sodium than you might’ve bargained for. To sum up the nutrition info:
All but 2 of the salads are 500+ calories before you add a protein. The Buffalo and Ninja are 230 and 350 calories, respectively.
All of the wraps except the Buffalo & Ninja are 800+ calories before adding a protein, and have about 1000 mg of sodium.
The bowls are all in the 500 calorie range except the Pangoa which is 770, but all of them have giant piles of sodium. The LEAST salty bowl is the Warrior with 1390 mg of sodium.
The burritos are all in the 500 – 600 calorie range with ok amounts of sodium but watch out for the Bangkok which has 1370 mg of sodium.
The smoothies are all 400 – 600 calories.
Personally, I stay far far away from the wraps, bowls, and smoothies. If you stick to the salads and burritos they’re generally decent options. Be careful on the burritos though, because sometimes the cooks make a particularly over-​stuffed one. Which is fine, but if my burrito ends up Chipotle size here, I eat about ²⁄₃ of it and save the rest for later.

The prices are high but the service is friendly and quick. By high prices I mean you could goto a «real» restaurant and spend about the same. It’s a variety of healthy types of food at a higher price. I recommend the smoothies and burritos from my experience for value/​taste. I do like the large abundance of vegetarian items and their quality.

As an enthusiastic eater who frequently dines out, I can tell you that throwing caution to the wind catches up with you. And while I don’t consider Taco Tuesdays, Friday Fish Frys, gourmet burgers, and decadent brunches evil, my health can’t pay the bills on the upkeep with making these things a regular part of my lifestyle. What does that have to do with this review?
Freshii is awesome because everything is delicious despite being relatively simple and exceptionally healthy. My favorites are the Sushito, Spicy Thai, and the Fiesta, and my wife loves the Market wrap. You can get any of their menu items on a whole wheat wrap or a green wrap, which is made out of kale. Meat (all hormone-​free) is an optional add-​on, but the food is flavorful enough to easily stand on its own without it.
For drinks, highlights include coconut water, Mexican Coca Cola (real sugar instead of high-​fructose corn syrup), and fresh juices made to order. If you have room, the kefir frozen yogurt is delicious, and they use that same stuff in many of their yummy smoothies.
The owner, Jack, is an extremely nice guy who cares a lot about the customer experience. We love this place and heartily recommend it, so give it a shot. Both your taste buds and your waistline will thank you!

My first time in wisconsin (on a business trip), I’m looking for a vegetarian place on grubhub and found this. Grubhub said it will take 60 – 70 minutes to deliver AND my email confimation stated that my order will arrive 5:55 — 6:05. I ordered it before i get to the hotel thinking that I wouldn’t have to wait too long for it.
Come 5:22 (WHILE I’M IN A MEETING), i get multiple calls saying my order is at the hotel and they sounded pissed that I’m not there yet and that I wasn’t answering my phone initially. Too much disappointing and offensive stuff happened during the interaction but I eventually got to the hotel and got my food. The driver has the guts to tell me to give him more tip even though I already included tip in my online payment.
But what the hell, I’m hungry.
I got the Pangoa Bowl and it is DELICIOUS. Mostly because of the sauce. They call it «hot sauce» on the menu, but it’s more of a mildy spicy BBQ sauce. It was great though. Smoky and tangy, but not too much. It blended really well with the corn, rice, beans, shredded cheese and grape tomatoes in the bowl. I wouldn’t mind ordering that again. Although I won’t trust their delivery time info anymore

I LOVE Freshii and I don’t understand why the line isn’t out the door every time I visit.
The vegetarian options are abundant and the best thing about Freshii is that all of the items on the menu are considerably healthy. Why has this concept not caught on with other restaurants?
Their menu consists of many suggested bowls and wraps, all with different toppings and sauces. You can make a custom wrap or bowl, with everything ranging from tofu to sriracha to greens. One of my favorite menu items is the Buddha bowl.
They also have smoothies, which are quite good. The green smoothie is both healthy and quite delicious, so I normally splurge for it (they’re upwards of $ 5 each).
There’s quite a bit of tables in the dining room and the staff have been friendly on every visit thus far. The place is clean and bright too!
Now if only it were closer to downtown…

So happy we have some decent, healthy fast food on the west side of town. Very nice breakfast menu, with not too much bread with the breakfast pocket (I got the meat version they offer). The yogurt/​berry/​granola parfait on offer for breakfast is great if you don’t feel like oatmeal, burritos or sandwiches, but I would ask that they not add honey, as it was a little too sweet for me. Local coffee, True, is served.
The salads and soups are terrific. If you would like your salad, soup or wrap custom made, they can do that. Many ingredients to choose from. This seems like a great place if you are doing a juice cleanse, are vegetarian/​vegan or have food allergies (on their local menu tab on the site online, they have a list of their ingredients that may trigger allergies.
Added bonus: They have a few tables outside and customers can bring their dogs to sit outside with them.

If you’re a healthy eater… you’re going to LOVE Freshii’s! I only recently started trying to eat better, so this has been a great place to try to stop at during lunch. They have salads, bowls, wraps and burritos. Most options are set to go for the vegetarians with easy to add meat options.
If you choose to eat there, whether their is snow or rain outside, it will feel like a nice sunny day in the park. Some of their seating resembles park benches and Freshii’s tables looks like (clean) picnic tables. Plus, they have a wall of what looks like alfalfa sprouts (fake… but from a distance, it looks real). Oh, there is also a free water station next to their coffee, makes it easy if you’re thirsty and want a quick glass of water.
The staff is very friendly and attentive. I remember my first visit, not understanding where the meat was or that I could order it — they very patiently helped me understand. Order fulfillment took just a few minutes and I was on my way again.

Freshii is a blissful combination of Chipotle, Sweet Green and Chop’t that I could only dream of in my wildest fantasies. AND IT IS HERE IN MADISON!
The menu includes salads that they will also assemble as wraps, interesting «bowls» (Asian inspired teriyaki, Mediterranean, etc), burritos, smoothies/​juices and Froyo. This is healthy and delicious fast food and even better, it’s decently priced! Everything can come with your choice of protein. There are some uniquely awesome options like falafel so you will never ever get bored.
I got the Fiesta salad as a wrap and never wanted it to end. The greens, corn, AVOCADO, black beans (I’m picky about black beans but these passed my test), cheese and pico de gallo went together perfectly. I added STEAK, which I was nervous about but wasn’t disappointed. So impressed by the quality flank steak in my wrap; this would be served at a legitimate sit down restaurant and still be impressive. Also impressive: the steak wrap with a can of coke zero rang up to $ 11.
I’m only in this neighborhood if I have to go to the mall or a store nearby, so I really wish there was a Freshii in Fitchburg or downtown (can you imagine how successful it’d be with UW students?). I could totally see myself driving 15 min out of the way for this though, and will definitely be popping in anytime I’m on Gammon Road! AND DREAMING ABOUT IT EVERYDAY!
