Food was not tooBad but the place needs a bit of clean up on the inside

I've been a frequent visitor to Zarios Fresh Stop, and I've had the pleasure of sampling all their breakfast items, including the delectable avocado toast and the delightful peanut butter toast. Each dish is not only delicious but also impeccably crafted. However, the standout for me is the horchata matcha. The matcha has a rich, earthy flavor that blends seamlessly with the subtle sweetness of horchata. It's a refreshing and well-balanced beverage, not overly sweet but wonderfully flavorful. Zarios Fresh Stop has truly mastered the art of combining unique flavors, making every visit a delightful experience! Highly recommend trying the horchata matcha - it's a definite highlight.

Do yourself and favor and try Zarios! I needed a quick, affordable, healthy option that wasn't far off the freeway and this was it!The guy behind the counter was super friendly and patient. The breakfast sandwich was made to order and he went back into the kitchen, whipped it up, and a few minutes later I had a fresh sandwich in my hands. Would definitely recommend!Order to go, Dec 2023:Breakfast sandwich on toasted sourdough, whole egg, add a bit of cream cheese - 9/10Green wealth juice - 9/10green detox juice - 9/10The breakfast sandwhich was so delicious! It comes with a large slice of tomato and so much fresh spinach. I asked for the whole egg instead of just egg whites and a little bit of cream cheese as well. I didn't realize there was avocado and next time I'd chose to skip it but that's just me since I'm not a huge avocado lover like most. 9/10Loved the green juice as well and buy one get one half off was a great deal. I just wish they had more options. Both green juices contain celery (I'm not a big celery fan in my green juice) but I still really enjoyed both of them, though I liked the green wealth better.

This used to be my go to spot until the recent price changes. Yikes, 14$ for a wrap ?

It's nice to finally have a healthy food option in Pico Rivera! To top it off the staff is always nice and efficient. The restaurant has a nice open feel to it. Thank you Zario's! :)

I got the iced cafe de olla and the bowl, it was so delicious and light breakfast. The Cafe de olla was perfect.

I'm thrilled to have a healthy spot right here in the city. It's refreshing to find this option amidst a sea of fast food spots. I decided to try the chicken tomato basil wrap, and it was absolutely delicious! I can't wait to return and explore their yogurt bowls or breakfast items.

I hate that I love this place so much. Time after time I visit, I tell myself I won't go back. When I rate businesses- I take it ALL into consideration. The PROS: Food is beyond delish (reason I keep going back), it's very fresh and for the most part "healthy". Food options that city of Pico Rivera has been missing for many, many years. The CONS: staff is not very friendly, whenever I walk in I feel like I'm bothering them. Over the phone feels like they are rushing to get off and very robotic. They are pretty slow, which is understandable when they are a "mom and pop" establishment. But then, why take phone orders ahead of time and still not have the order ready in a reasonable amount of time? They offer options such as "lightly toasted, toasted or extra toasty" for sandwiches/bagels. Every time I have selected one of those options- I have NEVER gotten what I asked for. Again, then why offer? When I have went to pay, they they add an additional fee for using cc, debit or apply pay- nothing new, right? One time I paid cash, and asked why I was still being charged this fee. Their response was "oh you're not". *looking at my receipt with the fee on there* This has happened, not once - but twice. Prices online are completely wrong vs once you order. For example, menu online says Chicken Pesto sandwich is $6.47, but when you add to cart and checkout- its $9.50. AGAIN- but the food is delish and worth it. Hopefully they are open to improving :)

Food - the food I've tasted so far here is fresh, delicious with lots of flavor. The pesto wrap, avocado toast and peanut butter toast all super delicious with its own flavorful punch. Drinks - the cafe de olla with oat milk - bomb! Horchata Latte also bomb! And all there fresh juices are spot on! Service - I'm always greeted with a smile and the place is super cute and clean.Definitely recommend!
Clean and healthy choices, decently priced. Great service.

Quality: The first photo was taken when they first opened up shop and the toping portions were generous for a half bagel and one piece of toast. The food is flavorful and the prices are good. The lemon zest/lemon on top of the Avocado toast really makes it!! I usually ask for the toast to be extra toasted, but it still comes out soft. A second chef recently joined the team and this time my order was extra toasted, I was pleased. Service: The place is not busy , there is never a line when come in between (10am - 12:00 pm) so I must say that the wait time can improve. I typically order a half bagel with avocado or an avocado toast and it typically takes about 15-20 minutes to get my order. Staff: The staff and cooks are very friendly. Environment: Very cozy and welcoming. I'll be back.

Went for the lentil soup around 1:30pm - they didn't have ANY soup. The location was clean and appealing, and, although staff was friendly, they were unprofessional discussing their hours and clock-in, clock-out procedures (which delayed my order). Then I found hair in my salad. First and last time purchasing from this location.

I just stopped by here on this hot afternoon. I’ve been meaning to try their menu. I ordered to go a custom salad with romaine, kale, turkey, chickpeas, carrots, cucumber, avocado and feta; their vitamin juice with pineapple, apple, and carrot; and a turkey sandwich for later. I was so glad to see they stock Celsius in their fridge, which I got too. The store interior is comfy and bright, decorated like a good spot to read, chat, and enjoy lunch. I joined the rewards program and I intend to buy their juice bundle next time so I can save a little and try out their other flavors. The salad is delicious, crisp, and refreshing for today’s weather. The “Vitamin” juice flavor combination tastes fresh, tart, and sweet from the natural fruit flavors, very tasty. I noticed they also stock fun keychains and other assorted merchandise. Customer service was kind, clear and welcoming, thank you!

Very good place for some fresh food. Some quick notes:- it did take some time when doing takeout- they didn't have pesto sauce so they were able to substitute- price is decent- it's right next to Zario's Salon - don't get confused - save yourself and don't get the chicken pesto sandwich. It was alright but the chicken...omg the chicken. Chicken was SHREDDED AND DRIED. If they change their chicken to something more moist, I'd be ok to try it again. But it was sooo difficult to eat. Their Ham and Pesto wrap was good.I also did a GrubHub order and they forgot a lot of meal modifications and some items.I do see myself returning because they are a nearby healthy option near my work.
