This place really needs to have the employees clean up. I watched a customer try to figure out why this pile of trash is with the clean cups and bowls. Supposed to be a hand washing area and can't even do that. read more

Haiku: Meet Fresh Meet cute with some drinks Heck, even share a shaved ice Perfect for a date. --- Meet Fresh is your Taiwanese dessert heaven. Whether you want boba milk tea, hot grass jelly soup, egg waffle, tofu pudding, or shaved ice--there's something for everyone's taste. I usually order what's appropriate for the weather outside. If it's sweltering hot, I opt for anything shaved ice or an iced milk tea. If it's wintery cold and windy, I get a hot grass jelly or hot almond soup signature. They usually satisfy my palate. On my most recent visit, I got the Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice: Coconut flakes, caramel sauce, mini Q, melon jelly, potaro balls, Q mochi, ice cream, and condensed milk. There's a wide variety of Taiwanese desserts, so come try the whole menu. read more

Fast service! Music is relaxing, you can study or just have a nice evening out. This is definitely baby friendly dessert spot in Cerritos. I found it to be clean and tidy. We came on a Tuesday evening, and it was pretty empty so we got our chocolate waffle and with vanilla ice cream and black tea boba within 5-6 minutes. I've been here on the weekends, and you can expect a wait time of at least 15-20 minutes to get the same order. As for the taste, super yummy and I really like the flavor and soft texture of the waffle, the ice cream is meh, but the black tea was really outstanding -- I enjoyed the hot black pearls. As for the prices, it's a tad expensive but the presentation and taste of the chocolate waffle is worth it in my opinion. read more

A refreshing twist on traditional shaved ice. We ordered the large mochi shaved ice and the mochi soup. A nice blend of ice and warm dessert. Really love the mixture of condensed milk with brown sugar drizzled on top of the shaved ic and biting into the warm boba. It was perfect for a warm days. Large eating area that can accommodate large groups. Service was quick. Kiosh made it easy to order, but sometimes its helpful to speak to a live person to ask questions especially if you're new to this cafe. Would definitely visit again read more

Very sadly disappointed after spending $$$ to eat & drink here. I ordered a taro coco Q drink that was too bland & pasty to drink. I couldn't even sip this drink. They put too much taro paste inside that even though I mixed it up it didn't help at all. Taste wasn't good either. I asked the manager nicely if I may exchange it & she said No refund & no exchange. Never will go here again. Bad customer service. Wasted my money here. read more

Perfect for sharing on a hot day. Order at the kiosk and find seating in the large dining area. Extra bowls and spoons are self service for convenient sharing. read more

Old man at the cashier told me to wait 15 min before he can take my order, the self order window was being used and there were ppl struggling. Old man pointed at all the orders he must finish stating he can't bear this no more I ordered a fresh milk brown sugar boba and a double taro signature with less ice, the wait was about 10 mins but the dessert looks awful. Can't believe I paid money for this, meet fresh in Cerritos service and quality has deteriorated so bad. Never coming back again. I will make the drive to Westminster instead. read more

Meet Fresh - There is no grass jelly - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

We came today to celebrate for the Christmas. Everything was great until my husband asked for some extra half and half. He wasn't mind paying if the Asian girl (short hair) explained that to us. Instead she gave him a wierd look and said in short sentences : need to pay and charged .25 cents for each half and half. When she handed to my husband, she not even had an eye contact. She just throw the 6 half and half small cups to his hand, even dropping one without picking up, and walk away. We even got charged $1.65/ 2 togo cups but in the receipt listed Open Food Items. This is the 1st time we came to Meet Fresh after for a while, trying to have some Fresh and Fun atmosphere for the Christmas Day. However, this experience totally ruined the mood for the whole family. read more

I must say that I am very disappointed with how it is being run at this location. It is a Sunday and they only have two workers working on the floor, expecting that they could handle it all by themselves. They don't have any systems in place to handle a rush. Customers are complaining about the wait, and these two for ladies are trying to bust their butt off just to get yelled at about the wait time. Clearly if a company can't pay for more than two people to work the floor on a weekend they shouldn't be open. They should of at least prepared their customers to wait at least 30 mins so their workers wouldn't be constantly stopped and yelled at. Makes sense why they only have 3 stars read more

Our original boba place was too full so we decided to try Meet Fresh and overall, our experience was positive. What I liked: - plenty of seating indoor which is nice when it's cold or a late night out - plenty of parking spots - a variety of dessert choices - good portion for boba drinks and delicious chocolate egg waffle The only negative was the self serve kiosk. I didn't mind using a machine to place my order but there's only one so the line moves slowly especially if you get someone in front of you who is not technologically savvy. They should have someone available to help in case there's any questions or problems with the kiosk or add another one. read more

Meet Fresh - Boba Fresh Milk Black Tea, Boba Fresh Milk Oolong Tea, and chocolate egg waffle - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Their dessert and drinks are pretty good but the kid workers need to be trained or re-trained. They don't clean the trash and where you leave your trays need to be emptied out. Everything is self-serve, you put in your order in the kiosk and you clean after yourself. I did not like how the boy worker would yell out your order on the megaphone in a very disrespectful way! We can't even understand what he was yelling/screaming about, if that was a number or what??!! I hope the owner would do a surprise visit to his/her store so he/she could see that this place could be chaotic on Saturday evening. Not a friendly and welcoming establishment. read more

There's nothing like an iced cold drink to beat the heat. We stepped into an almost deserted Meet Fresh on a late weekday afternoon. We ordered a milk tea with boba and a Jin Xuan Oolong tea. Prices seemed on par with other similar places. Counter staff were patient with our indecision... they must be used to it with such a large and varied menu! Drinks were ready quickly. Decent boba tea. I prefer stronger tea, but was happy with my refreshing treat on such a hot afternoon. read more

We got there inside not a lot people but inside it's hot to wait. Worst is we waited 25 minutes for orders So I double check, they forgot our orders. First time this happened. Cerritos location read more

They really mean no outside food or drinks. We had a drink from Starbucks and literally someone from the back came to the table and told us to put that drink away. I didn't notice that every table had a label stated no outside food. Until it was told it was company policy and it's on every table .It made the experience so uncomfortable. yet took my order and money in the front and proceeded . For dessert not worth it , wouldn't be going back. read more

I've visited once prior and ordered their boba which was quite the disappointment. I had no plans on revisiting but after a friend insisted that their shaved ice was delicious, I decided another chance wouldn't hurt. Three of us split a Pudding & Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice which was way too big for all of us. All the mochi with the ice cream was heavenly and I've been craving this dessert since I've had it. Service was quick and there was plenty of indoor seating! read more

Meet Fresh - Pudding and Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice - Desserts Near Me - Cerritos, California

Disappointed. Vanilla ice cream with shaved ice and strawberries. Nothing special. The ice melted into clumps. Waste of money.

Meet Fresh is a fantastic spot to relax and enjoy some quality desserts and drinks! The dessert was delicious, and the drinks were even better--super refreshing and full of flavor. The ambiance really added to the experience, with playful music and a lively atmosphere. The place was spacious enough that, even with a large group, we had no trouble finding a spot to sit and enjoy. Prices are on the higher side, but it's absolutely worth it. This is the place to go if you want to treat yourself and have a good time with friends! Everything was done using kiosk. Service was good. read more

We are here twice a month on average. Love the variety of hot and cold desserts. Gets pretty crowded on the weekends.

We used to come to here often, but our last few visits have been very disappointing to say the least. The service here is ridiculously slow. We had to wait over 45 minutes for our small order on a couple of occasions. On our last visit, we sat there waiting 30 minutes for our shaved ice, only to find out it had been sitting on the counter for a while. Our number was never called, and we only discovered it was ours because we approached the employee to ask. The employees were working hard and did the best they could, but it's poor management to have only 2 workers behind the counter on busy days. That's not fair for the employees or for the customers. read more

My wife and I were really excited to try this place, but unfortunately left feeling very underwhelmed and disappointed. When we arrived, the location was very busy and we thought that would be a good sign. Upon entering there is signage stating that this is a cashless and kiosk only café. Once we got to the kiosk the menu was extremely confusing. It took us more than five minutes to figure out where the drinks were located and what drinks we even wanted to order by the time I had found my drink, which was a iced matcha latte and a fresh milk tea with Taro. After we placed our order, we went to find seating until it was time to pick up. table that we were sitting at was not clean. In fact we ended up moving to the seating near the window instead, because it was not sanitary to sit. We did happen to come on the weekend and the inside of the café is not very large, which is fine, but the seating was very limited. It was also very stuffy. I would assume that considering how small their seating is that there would be at least some type of air-conditioning or even have the door open to let in some type of airflow.We ended up waiting at least 35 minutes for order to be called and by the time we went to pick it up we were both questioning the quality of our items. As soon as we left we both took our first step in immediately were disappointed. My iced Matcha latte was not flavorful at all. The Matcha itself was a very dirty green color and not a vibrant shade. I also ordered my drink with half sugar because I wasn't sure how sweet the drink may be because the description left me with no idea of the taste profile. Unfortunately there was no flavor to be had even though there was strawberry purée at the bottom of my drink. I am also lactose intolerant, but unfortunately, there was no option for me to substitute my whole milk for a dairy free or lactose option which was disappointing. My milk tea looked like dirty dish water and tasted like straight whole milk. We also order a matcha red bean waffle that was very underwhelming. There was also an unnamed item in our waffle box, a popsicle stick wrapped in blue masking tape. Not sure why that would be included in the box seeing that it looked extremely unsanitary. The waffle itself was tasteless and dry. Our order total came out to $26.80 for THREE ITEMS. I also experienced an allergic reaction after taking a sip of my drink, for context I'm allergic to certain protein additives. This place is not worth the money, we are extremely disappointed with our experience read more

Order can be placed online or at a digital kiosk to the left of the store. Easy to navigate and quick to place the order. Average wait time is about 15-30 minutes depending on how busy. No slushy or smoothies made on the weekend as told by a staff to several customers entering. Dessert is the traditional Taiwanese kind, delicious bobas and jelly's. Everything tasted great, priced for about $6-9 plus topping cost per item. One star knocked down for the staff that was pretty annoyed with customers entering. Short responses and not very friendly. Seemed frustrated to work on the weekend. Picture of staff provided. read more

My "shaved ice" dessert was just chunks of ice with meager amount of fruit. When I complained about it, the manager argued with me. And blamed me for his quality "creation" I will never waste my time and money on this horrid place. Skip Meet Fresh and go somewhere that values it's customers. Check the photos.. would you pay 15 dollars for this garbage? read more

I love their herbal tea and grass jelly drink and their egg waffles. Tried their Savory Egg waffle. OMG!! It's so small!! Like they ran out batter so they split it into 2 "whole" egg waffle. I asked the worker if it's supposed to be this small and he said yes!! He also said because it's got pork floss, and toppings that's why it is very small!! Wow! Never had I got an egg waffle that's half the size of their samples and call it a full size item because it includes toppings! Never go there again. Not worth spending my time and money there. So disappointed. read more

Very racist staff! Very upset at these stupid kids running the place because there is no management ever. I am Asian and my spouse is Caucasian. He came to love Asian food and treats because of me. Whenever he goes without me, he is treated with no regard and pure disrespect. This man is a US Marine that defended our country so that all of us including us immigrants to live a life of freedom. Yet he is treated like this. Last visit they made him wait 37 min for a waffle when no other patron was there. When he asked about it, they said " I will get to you" and turned away. This is such BS in this day and age. A customer is a customer regardless of race. I will make sure I tell you this in person the next time I am in this shop to remind you that we are all people and paying customers. read more

Love almost everything about this place! Desserts are 5/5. Drinks are 5/5. Just didn't like them screaming the number/order that totally disrupts whatever you're doing. Other than that -- will definitely go back here. read more

Great place. Three ways to offer app, kiosk, or with one of their help staff. Fast service. Very nostalgic. Love how they separate the ingredients from the red bean soup. Tofu is just so so good. Warm and feels like I'm "home". read more

It's a unique dessert spot so it is good. It's like halo halo (Filipinos) but not as sweeet and flavorful. It's more bland with different tapioca balls it seems. The milk tea was okay.

I love coming to meet fresh for their traditional Taiwanese style shaved ice and grass jelly. I normally get the signature grass jelly that comes with taro balls. I also like to add the sesame mochi ball. It's so good! Parking is fairly easy in this plaza. Lots of space! You can also make online orders for convenient pick up read more

Food and drinks have been good. Here is the issue I run into... Because they are short staffed they encourage you to use the self serve kiosk to order. However when I use it and pay with a gift card it gives me an error. I'm not able to pay with gift card and then just pay the difference. So then I have to go to the cashier and have to explain to them I'm using a gift card and kiosk won't accept the payment. They will finally take my order, but then I feel like I'm inconveniencing them. If Meet Fresh can fix this issue, that would be great! read more

Love the food here and the space and the music. The only thing I don't love is the volume of the music! It's so hard to hear my friends over the music. We have to shout a bit. Also even with headphones on, I have to crank the volume on my headphones to drown out the sounds from their speakers. read more

I usually order the Icy Taro Ball but since it was a little cloudy, I felt like having a hot dessert for a change and ordered the Hot Red Bean Soup Signature. I was surprised when I picked my order up, it was indeed red bean soup with 2 humongous pieces of taro sticking out. I had to dig to the bottom of the bowl to scoop the other ingredients out. It's one of those desserts that tastes better than it looks. Overall the taste was really good, wish the taro was cut a little smaller though because it was hard to eat. I was afraid that my plastic spoon would break when I tried to cut it up. read more

I came here with the ladies church group as a post Mother's Day celebration. It was so much fun choosing from the extensive menu!!! This was a first time visit so everything is new!!! I had the pineapple sorbet C, it was very refreshing ! Everybody shared so we could try lots of the dishes, both hot and cold!!! So yummy!! Everything is pretty much self serve from ordering from the kiosk tablet to getting bowls, cups, napkins spoons etc from the counter help yourself bar! I will definitely be back to try more!!! read more

I love meet fresh, I really do, but tonight September 10th, I was ignored at the counter while I was trying to place an order. There were two male employees cleaning just a few feet away from me, so I know that they saw me and straight up ignored me. I walked in about 10 minutes before closing and wanted to order milk tea with boba. I have no problem being turned away if they're no longer accepting orders due to closing but I was completely ignored for a few minutes and decided to walk out and take my business elsewhere. It's not hard to let customers know that the kitchen is closed. I am disappointed as I have never been turned down before closing at this location. read more

Went back last night and the AC issue was resolved. Got the Signature Icy Grass Jelly which was good. Seems the biggest issue now is the ordering process at the self serve kiosk. Wait time to order at least 15 min on a Monday evening. read more

I love coming here with my friends; we appreciate the charging outlets as students who like to study/work here. The thai tea and food are good as well. The only flaw, in my opinion, is how loud the music tends to be. I understand that this business is oriented towards casual dine-ins and not intended to be a pure study spot, but sometimes the music is too overbearing that it's hard to converse or listen to our own devices. A lot of students come to this location to study, so I know I'm not the only one who may also feel this way. Other than that, it's a great spot! I like the blueberry muffin as well. read more

An authentic Taiwanese experience here! Sweet things likely a bit foreign to the traditional American taste, but could be addictive once you acquire the taste! We ordered the grass jelly #3 and the tofu pudding ; both are good albeit a bit too sweet for our taste. Count on spending $10 for each item. There are many of this chain throughout Southern California but this one has one of the nicest interior decor and the two figurines of their founders. read more
