While being shown a healthy alternative to some of the other food places. I recently had the chance to try their beach salad and ordered a smoothie from them as well. What i did receive was a salad that did not come anywhere close to meeting my expectations with no smoothie in sight.

The açaí bowl is way too sweet. I’ve noticed most things here are sugar based. So I guess it depends on your definition of healthy.

Great place to get an acai or pitaya bowl. Food was delicious. Just wish they had more options/variety of acai bowl to choose from.
Jeff Parker
great spot, my kinda food and drinks, everything is made fresh, really enjoy this place, definitely needed downtown

I love the concept. The staff couldn't give me any information about the sugar content of their smoothies. I ordered a breakfast wrap. Although the Turkey bacon and eggs had just been cooked it was cold because the veggies, cheese, and salsa were straight from the fridge. Also, it took 20 minutes to receive my order despite there only being two customers.

I've been here a few times for lunch, and it is by far one of my favorite spots! They have the option to order online to avoid a lengthy wait, but I haven't had issues with just ordering in person either. It is freshly made, so expect a wait, but for fresh food, a 5/10 mins is not bad. The service and food is exceptional! I have had their protein bowl which is delicious and their smoothies are amazing, especially Avocado Dream! My literal only complaint is the paper straws for the smoothies, I know they're more environmentally friendly, but I don't gulp my smoothies and the straw breaks down very quickly and I end up drinking paper. But I put up with it, because it's amazing!

I went yesterday for the first time and I loved the food! The customer service was Great. There was an employee she looked young and wearing a blue athletic shirt and was really nice! Also she did an outstanding job taking our order and providing a great customer service. Thank you!

What a (literal & figurative) mess this entire experience was. I was so excited to discover a new place opened up in the Lincoln area that was healthy and had a great menu. I was starving and pressed for time and it looked like Fresh Healthy Café was quick, healthy, and easy. It's a fairly small place, so it seemed pretty busy when I got there. There were three people working and they all seemed very overwhelmed. When I first walked in, one of the employees flew out of the door like a bat out of hell leaving the door to hit me on his way out. I didn't know what was going on but I didn't think too much of it. It was very unclear where the line to order was and the line to pick up your orders. So there was just a big cluster. When I finally ordered I got a shot of fresh pressed ginger and a breakfast wrap. There is limited indoor seating and there's also a second floor, I didn't go up there but it seemed convenient to make it less crowded on the first floor. I was sitting down and I got into emails for a little while, then I realized that I had been waiting for a long time. I went back up to check on the status of my order. As I approached one of the employees, I realized that their entire workstation was an absolute mess. There was juice, stains, crumbs, dirty rags, it was disgusting. If I hadn't already ordered, waited, and paid I probably would've left. It was a nightmare! It seemed that they were in over their heads, understaffed, and in need of possibly more leadership. I finally got my wrap, took my shot, and got the heck out of there! The wrap would've been good if they didn't overload it with salsa. All I could taste was salsa. Overall, I would not waste your time here. Maybe if they got new management and literally and figuratively cleaned their act up, it might stand a chance.

Kale veggie wrap is excellent. Pomegranate punch is good. Tough to drink thru the paper straw. Front register girl has her hat down over her eyes and doesn't speak clearly. Look up at me and speak.

Give it some time...will try again. Nice place like the seating and colors, feels relaxing. Help is really green (as in inexperienced). In the 20 minutes we were there they forgot the meat in two wraps. Seemed confusion on the ordering process. Asked names sometimes for orders others times not. My meat in my wrap was heated (nuked?) which I thought was odd. Large wrap was smaller than expressed, I asked since I was sharing. They hand gauged about a foot... Got an 8 inch. Biggest turn off is the smoothies... Didn't have one.. I am sure they are great...but the blenders are very loud. Sort kills the mood of a relaxing environment. They don't even shut them to help muffle the sound.
1st visit! A nice selection of choices with quality ingredients. I created my own powerbowl from a list of possibilities - very good and filling. My sister had the soup with bread - she said it was excellent! Not an abundance of seating, several patrons came in to pick up orders made online while we were there so a quick healthy option for those on the go.

The food was fantastic. I was a little skeptical going in thinking it was going to be a place where you paid for the health aspect, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity for the price we paid. I would definitely recommend this if you're in downtown Lincoln and looking for somewhere on the healthier side.

The food is simple and good but pricey. 4 stars. My beef is with the service (and a noticeably large number of flies in the kitchen). Cashier kept incorrectly repeating back what I ordered (my friend later told me this happened to her too). Cashier seemed to indicate she got it after several tries, but I ended up with a meal missing ingredients, the wrong smoothie, and part of someone else's order. Part of my friend's meal was missing and not to-go as requested. Gals behind the counter ignored us for awhile when we went up to ask for corrections.

I've only tried their Pitaya Bowl but it is my favorite! I get it every single time and I highly recommend. The service is also good and everything is reasonably priced. If you're a student don't forget to show them your NCard for a discount!
