Came in to order Mac bowl and saw they also had drink place in the same spot. I'm in from out of town for work and decided to see what they had. I asked the gal who was working what were some good things to try. Let me tell you something. I'm so happy I tried these. I got the Dragon Smoothie and Tropical tea. Smoothie was for dinner and tea for in the morning. The Dragon Smoothie is like sunshine in a glass. You want to feel happiness? Take a good sip of it and it feels like you got transported to a sunny place where the sun is shining and everything is right in the world for a moment. I'm not a smoothie person. But this one is a game changer. It's got Dragon fruit, peach, pineapple, mango and strawberry. It's every bit delicious as it is healthy. Tropical Tea is made with Tropical fruits and iced black tea. It's light and refreshing. Super excited to have it for my morning rush. The staff is absolutely wonderful and patient. Greeted me with a smile and answered all of my questions. This is my first time going here and I have to say it won't be my last time. Definitely going to make a trip over here before I leave to go back home.
Editing my review to come back to reiterate my love for this place! I moved out of the area a few years ago, and anytime I am back in the area, this place is on my list to revisit! You cannot beat the juice, pasta, or sandwiches! I absolutely love aqua fresh!! They have great service and it’s incredibly fast! You can’t go wrong with anything that you pick to eat!
Tasty Healthy lunch! Smoothies, juices & super bowls. Acai, hummus, cucumber, feta cheese....breakfast croissants all day. GLUTEN FREE BREADS on all sandwiches! We will visit again.
One of the best places that we like to eat at in Brookings since it has the healthiest menu IMO. After eating here you don't feel the huge gut punch you normally do from eating out at a restaurant with big ole meals. The juices are excellent and the wraps are equally as good. Just wish they had something other than chips and a little salad for a side?
I had a poor experience initially but Bilal, the owner, went above and beyond to correct it. The food, bubble tea, and smoothie were delicious and the customer service was top notch! I was very impressed with how my issue was handled quickly and pleasantly.
Wow. Such a friendly staff and amazing establishment for a lunch break! I went here about a week ago and want to go back everyday. From the unique names of the smoothies to the delicious sandwiches it is probably the best place in Brookings I have eaten at for lunch!
Agua Fresh is one of the best spots in Brookings! 🧋✨ Their boba drinks are super fresh, perfectly sweet, and full of flavor. The tapioca pearls are soft and chewy — just the way they should be! The food is also amazing 🔥 Fresh ingredients, great portion size, and everything tastes clean and well-prepared. You can really tell they care about quality. The place is clean, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere feels welcoming. Definitely a must-try spot if you’re in Brookings! Highly recommended! 🙌
We’re from Texas and were only visiting temporarily, and Agua Fresh was truly such a gem to find! Everything was so fresh and delicious — from the sandwiches 🥪 to the drinks and the mac bowls, every bite was yummy and satisfying. It became our favorite stop to refresh during bike rides, and even when we weren’t riding, we loved coming back just to enjoy the food. The staff was always so kind and welcoming, which made it feel extra special. We even made sure to stop by for one last meal before heading home, and we’ll definitely be back whenever we visit again. Agua Fresh left such a great impression on us — truly a must-visit spot!
My fiancée and I Love this place!! Our go to when we’re cycling around town or just want to grab a quick bite. Their food is delicious and their drinks are amazing and so refreshing! Our favorite is the Tropical Island. The staff are also very welcoming and they’ve also been nice to refill our water bottles when we bike through. We’re from out of town and have been coming here for months now so Agua Fresh have really made a great impression for us. We will definitely miss this place!!
This was my first time at Agua Fresh and it did not disappoint. I ordered one of the bowls and it was scrumptious! The inside is super cute and the garage door was super cool. There was also only one worker and she did a fabulous job. I will defiantly be back. If you are in Brookings definitely stop here for some refreshing and satisfying food!
