Me and my bf loooove going here for dessert, it's our go to when we don't know where to go for and don't want to look up new places. They have kiosks set up for customers as I know they do get busy sometimes. The only thing is the kiosk interface kind of bugs out or lags sometimes which can be annoying at times but besides that, wait isn't long and it is sooooo good! I like the q mochi bingsoo a lot, they have so many options that I don't even know where to start sometimes. Def recommend read more

There was a similar review about a month ago, but my friend came to this cafe to study and was racially targeted and harassed by the staff. My friend is a frequent customer at this location and we both like to come for drinks and studying. This time however, they came alone with their laptop and were working for 20 minutes max before an employee (seems to be a shift lead or manager) came up to them asking if anything had been ordered. My friend replied "no not yet," and the worker proceeded to say the tables were for customers only and walk away before they could say anything else. They were approached a SECOND time by another staff member only 10 minutes after the first, who asked the SAME thing. This time my friend was able to respond that they were actually waiting for me to arrive. The first worker then STARED at them for the next 30 minutes, making them insanely uncomfortable until I arrived. My friend was one of the only brown skin people in the cafe...horrifically rude. What a horrible way to treat a person, let alone a regular customer. And what a waste of time, staring at a customer instead of doing your job...We both had interacted with this employee and ordered with them several times in the past, so it's crazy they couldn't remember any of it. Never returning, all of our classmates and family have been warned and now you have too. read more

Came here for drinks and studying, but felt racially targeted. My friend and I came in with our laptops (like most people in the shop) to study! When I ordered, the tablets did not provide a receipt, but usually they send a text when done, so I don't mind. My friend and I studied while waiting, but soon after, an employee came to ask if we had ordered or if we were loitering! I had just ordered!! We were the only brown skin people in the cafe and nobody else was asked this. I explained I was waiting and they rolled their eyes and said it was ready and they'd been calling my order "hella times already". I apologized saying I didn't get a text, they said I should've known my number! I didn't have a reciept!! Unfortunately will not be coming back here, even though I love the food and drinks! This used to be my favorite spot for shaved ice, but now with this recent interaction, I've felt so uncomfortable. I wish they were less rude, I know they probably were just asking us due to their establishment rules, but the cadence and situation felt racist and mean. read more

Quick grab and go service option with tablets or you can choose to dine in as there are many seats. Can't say much on service since I used the tablet to order but the workers did provide me a warm welcome upon walking in. Really only came here to grab their waffles although they have a great assortment of desserts that I want to come back to try! I got their matcha and chocolate waffles with the chocolate having more of a stronger taste compared to the matcha, which had more of a subtle flavor. I liked the shape of the waffles and how crispy they were once served. I also saw that there was a tiramisu milk tea, which got me curious cause I love tiramisu. However, it didn't have a strong taste of tiramisu so I would more than likely skip this drink the next time around. If I were to do a milk tea here, I'd probably just do a simple oolong milk tea. read more

Nice spot, spacious, can get busy. You have to order on the two self serve kiosks so the wait to order might be long. The grass jelly soup has been great, a good amount of toppings, and I like the amount of each topping their putting in the soup compared to other locations. read more

I got the hot tofu signature with added black sugar boba. Flavor is good. Service was fast. But what is this? I couldn't even pull the boba balls apart. It was just a big tapioca blob. read more

Average at best, I'd say the best part about this place is the seating. The items aren't as good as they'd seem, and I find most of their drinks lacking in flavor. Their teas taste almost watered down and their sago is small in portion. The worst part about this place is the service. I get the use of touch screens to take orders, but the owners of this establishment should do training with their staff on how to interact with customers. I guess the drinks and desserts lacking in flavor are made up with the bad taste the servers leave in my mouth. Try elsewhere! read more

Meet Fresh - Signature ice - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Meet Fresh is such a cute place to grab an after-dinner treat. They have a good variety of desserts, drinks, and even food options if you want something more filling. We got the original egg waffle, chocolate egg waffle, and jasmine green tea, and everything was really yummy. The egg waffles were warm and fresh, and the tea was refreshing without being too sweet. It's definitely a good spot to hang out since there are plenty of seats and a nice casual vibe. read more

I've always seen the ads but finally gave this place a try and I was throughly impressed by these Taiwanese desserts! Beans in dessert had me shook, but it's the mix of herby grass jelly, cold shaved ice, black sesame balls, and taro balls that when eaten together gives you a deep flavor that almost feels beyond just a dessert. It's a colorful concoction that makes you excited to try it again and again with so many different combinations and toppings you can't go wrong! Big open spaces for you and the crew to get a bowl! Having the electronic kiosk also helps going with a group and you can customize exactly what you want, although the staff is willing to help if you have any questions read more

Worst customer service ever at this location. They have a self-ordering iPad as well as a cashier. I have always gone to the Irvine location and been assisted by cashier since I often add side/additional items. Upon arriving, the cashier offered to take my order; I needed time since the menu is a bit different than the one in Irvine. I even noticed an item that was not on the menu at Irvine and asked the cashier but she just said "I don't know" and walked away. As customers were lining up, no one seems to care to take orders, but every guests were directed to the ONE iPad that was available for self-ordering. It took forever and everyone had to figure out the use of it by themselves. When I received my items, I explained to her that I wanted to add more milk, but it wasn't available for add-ons, she then open the register and charged me 50 cent. As for the desserts, it was good. Less sweet then the Irvine and better quality. read more

My friends have been telling me about this place. I finally visited this place recently after a birthday celebration to continue the celebration. My friends weren't kidding when they said the large shave ice was huge, and there is apparently an XL available. Egg Waffles were also ordered, plain, matcha and chocolate. I also got a pineapple green tea. Grab a friend or two and check it out read more

I like that there is a wide array of options in shareable desserts. The portions are generous and definitely enough for 2 or 3, maybe 4 if you're getting the shaved ice. Plenty of seating and you can order at the kiosk. Orders take more than 10 minutes so be patient. And clean up after yourself! read more

Customer service was so weird, employees glared and made my regular, a brown sugar boba, so bland tasting like pure milk and when I asked for an adjustment, tried to charge me extra, and refused an exchange. Employees didn't make drink right, and just gave me simple syrup to pour in my drink. Looked at me weird when asking to fix my drink and didn't even greet or say anything, management needs to fix this. read more

I came with my friend. I go here regularly, the drinks did not taste like usual. We asked to adjust our drinks and the staff was extremely rude. We asked if we could change our drinks and the staff declined and glared at us with a disgusted expression. We felt very uncomfortable. read more

Meet Fresh is exactly what you expect and in the best way possible. The desserts are consistently solid, with chewy taro balls, smooth tofu pudding, and just the right level of sweetness. Nothing flashy or surprising, but everything is done well and hits the spot when you're craving something comforting. A reliable go to that never really disappoints. read more

Fun, bright, packed. Very lively for a Friday night. Took about 10 minutes for our order. The shaved ice is huge! Good thing there was 4 of us to share it. So many flavors and textures with shaved ice, ice cream, mochi, grass jelly, etc. It was really good. read more

We don't order to go because you only get 25% of what you would get if you dined in and it's the same price. We ordered dined in tonight but it was just after 9:30pm. Had they told us all orders after 9:30pm would be to go, we would have left. It was only when we picked up our order they told us orders after 9:30pm are in these tiny to go containers. No signage at the door. No signage where you order. Instead, they out the signage where you pick up, AFTER you've already overpaid in their tiny, tiny to go container. read more

It's located in the plaza full of diversity. I had a dinner next door and came straight over. This place is bright and shiny. The service is good. Mostly self-service, you go order at the counter and they call your number when it's ready. You'll return the plate afterwards. The shaved ice and the waffle were delicious. I wish I had ordered the big shaved ice mountain. read more

Livin' my best life on taro bite at a time! I visited Meet Fresh last year and really enjoyed my Lemon Wintermelon tea. I definitely knew then that I would back here to try out their Signature series dessert bowls. Fast forward to this year and I finally got to check off trying their famous desserts bowls. For my second visit here; I got their Double Taro Signature. I love taro and this dessert definitely was a taro fan's dream come true. It was packed with taro signature balls, chunks of taro paste, herbal jelly, grass jelly and vanilla ice cream, It was true taro happiness in a bowl! I loved the chewy taro balls, the soft jelly squares and the sweet ice cream. They give creamer on the side and though this is a nice touch; it's not needed because the vanilla ice cream already gives a wonderful creamy touch. I read that the Double Taro Signature is a customer favorite and I can definitely see why. I really enjoyed the Double Taro Signature! I am already making plans to come back to try other items from their Signature Series. I also want to try their Shaved Ice! Meet Fresh, we will be sure to meet again ;)! Gotta keep livin' my best foodie life :). read more

I'm so glad that they open up in Cerrito's area so I got to visit this after dinner with a friend. Not only this place is pretty specious, but as usual Meet Fresh is always full. This time around on Friday night there were open seats so we were able to get a table right away. Our food took a while and we have to reach a couple times because we were sitting in the corner and we couldn't hear if our number was called. The place itself is very comfy and relaxing, and there are a couple people who brought their laptop to study or work. There are plenty of parking space in the plaza. read more

The Icy Passion Fruit Sorbet Bowl Signature comes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream stacked on top of four scoops of passion fruit sorbet, layered over shaved ice and condensed milk. It's surrounded by melon jelly, boba, sago, and Mini Q. I recommend dunking the bubble waffle into the bottom layer for a satisfying crunch and flavor combo. I do wish the waffle was a bit more doughy inside. It's crispy, which I liked, but also mostly hollow. The Winter Melon Tea w Mini Q Taro Ball was super refreshing. It starts off barely sweet, but once the ice melts, the sweetness really comes through. The Mini Q Taro Ball has a grainy, taro-like texture, so if that's not your thing, I'd go with boba instead. Bonus: I got a magnet for ordering the $19.99 combo! read more

My five-year-old nephew--small in stature but mighty in his culinary convictions--led me here. He has a singular passion, an unwavering devotion, really: grass jelly desserts. Unlike most kids his age, he has no interest in the towering, frosting-laden confections that define American sweets. No birthday cake, no cupcakes, no sugar bombs disguised as treats. Just grass jelly. And so, this place was a revelation. The desserts here are subtle, gentle in their sweetness, kissed by a little swirl of half-and-half. My nephew goes for the plain ice grass jelly--pure, unembellished, exactly as he likes it. We've ventured into the more elaborate offerings too, the ones adorned with mochi and taro, each bite soft and chewy, delicate yet deeply satisfying. They're all delicious, but never cloying. And here's the real magic trick: grass jelly isn't just dessert. It's a quiet little wonder of an ingredient--an herbal, slightly medicinal, entirely wholesome kind of treat. A reminder that indulgence doesn't have to shout. Sometimes, it simply whispers. I think my nephew also has a crush on one of the cashiers. We walked out and his eye were locked on one of the cashiers... so cute! read more

My go to spot for Taiwanese dessert in the Cerritos area. There isn't much choice for that around here. Meet fresh is a chain from Taiwan and one that I have visited many times in Taiwan. The menu is similar but also very different. Price wise - it's not even comparable to Taiwan but average price here in the states. Ok on to the food - my go to is the tofu pudding with my favorite toppings - usually peanut, red bean, sesame balls and the mini qq. So good! Their egg waffle is also delish but takes a while to come out. In terms of service, I'm not sure why but it always takes forever. And only because I can compare to Taiwan, it takes half the time there. Not sure why it takes so long here to put already made ingredients into a bowl. On averages takes at least 10-15min for orders here. read more

I never choose to come here but when my friends are around Cerritos they often wanna meetup here just because it is a good big place with a lot of choices.... There really is only one thing I ever get here and it's always the Grass Jelly Ice no other things mixed with it.... I can't go wrong with it and they better not since it is the simplest thing you can make.... The place is not bad a lot of seating and never overly noisy....the tables aren't always clean though....as their employees rarely leave the back area..... The other thing that sucks is they seemed to have fully moved to a kiosk ordering system only....they don't seem to talk much to you as well unless you go up and ask for something.... Anyhow after getting used to everything and the system there I guess it's okay. read more

Meet Fresh - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

The Manager/owner of this location lacks basic critical reasoning skills. I came in with some friends and bought a drink, but we were asked to leave since someone in the group brought an outside drink. I don't mind having to leave, but I wanted to know why. When I asked the manager why we were targeted, but the people on laptops in the back with fast food didn't. The old man shrugged his shoulders and couldn't respond. Then, I tested him asking if there is a non zero chance that people coming in with outside food might purchase something from here due to sheer proximity and convenience and he said there is zero chance. Such an absolutist way of thinking is pretty ironic considering the lack of standard enforcement of rules. Afterwards, he felt his ego was challenged so he brought up how he knows the founder of Panda Express as if that is even relevant. Again, I don't mind complying with establishment rules since private businesses have the right to create them. However, the lack of standard enforcement and critical reasoning from leadership at this establishment is concerning. Terrible experience with the owner. Employees are great though. read more

I love coming here for a refreshing sweet treat. I usually get their shaved ice bowls (can come in regular or large). I like adding condensed milk, q mochi, and mini mochis, as well as ice cream. They also have bubble waffles which is also good to have with cold treats. Typically you would order on the ipad kiosks, or sometimes there would be an employee to take your order on the counter. Wait times could be long depending on how busy they are. They have a water station, and plenty of seating (unfortunately they do not allow board games). Plenty of parking in a busy dining plaza. read more

I got the Strawberry Passionfruit Green Tea + added some lychee jelly and it was super refreshing! I like tart drinks so I was very happy lol. Our group also got the mochi milk shaved ice! Very tasty, really big portion and was enough for like 6 of us! read more

I think this is a fantastic dessert spot. Plus this plaza has ayce sushi, donuts, and hot pot. There a lot of places to grab a meal and then come here for dessert after. Meet fresh does get very busy sometimes so the wait can get horrendous at times. This is an area where they can do better. They have a lot of seating. Potentially a good place to do some work or study if you need an alternative to a cafe. The desserts I've gotten here have always been solid quality and delicious. Overall I would recommend, and if you come during off hours, there will be no line. read more

This shaved ice is bomb. Shout out to Mon whom introed me to this place. I will say you have to waaaait, for this goodness. Twice I've gotten shaved ice from here and it does feel like a 15 minute wait for it. The order is LARGE, so it's probably nicely shared between 4 adults. My husband and I dominated but still had like two cups left over. Good enough ratio of ice cream, to syrup to fruit to sweetener to all that snow. It's like a cafe/panera like set up. They played soft jazz and it's like you could probably study here. It was pleasant. The drinks are good. Their traditional sweet soups are good and comforting more for the cold seasons when I order it hot, I haven't tried the cold sweet soups version yet. read more

Back again, as tradition, to have Meet Fresh and catch up with an old friend. We got our usual Icy Grass Jelly Signature - the ratio of grass jelly to ice has increased - still tastes amazing and will remain my favorite. We had some issues with the waffles today which was really disappointing. My friend ordered a original egg waffle - it came out half the normal size we were expecting (seems like they ran out of batter or something because I notice other waffles coming out full size for other folks) and it contained a few chocolate chips on one half the waffle even though my friend didn't ask for it and unfortunately she doesn't like the chocolate chips in the waffles so end up only eating half the waffle. read more

Meet Fresh is conveniently located right beside my dental clinic, so I often swing by for one of their egg waffles after a visit. The serving size is perfect for me--just the right amount to finish in one sitting. It's not overly sweet, and the waffle comes out wonderfully crunchy. You can tell it's freshly made. Service is decent--pleasant overall, though not particularly friendly. The space is clean and tidy, which makes the whole experience comfortable. If you're in the area and craving a crisp, lightly sweet waffle, Meet Fresh is a solid pick. read more
