    Red bean soup signature (comes with taro, sesame balls, sweet potato mochi, red bean, and boba)
    Fortuna N.

    I came here to pick up the signature Red Bean soup (4/5) which comes with two big scoops of taro, tanyuan (sesame filled mochi balls), sweet potato mochi, red bean, and boba all in a warm, sweetened red bean soup! I really enjoyed the toppings in this one with the tanyuan being filled with sweetened black sesame, the taro being lightly sweetened that went so well with the red bean soup, and the boba and sweet potato mochi consistency was so bouncy. I do wish they gave more of the sweet potato mochi balls or more of the mochi balls but the regular serving at $10/11 is a nice size for one person if hungry or two if just for dessert. Mine came out only warm and wish it was hotter but I just reheated it back at home. They do NOT update their in progress and ready numbers on the screen much lol so watch out for it being called by looking at your receipt number.

    This place is crowded, we came here after shopping, ordered a few drinks and tofu pudding to go, service was okay, it took awhile for our orders to come out!

    I always love coming to Meet Fresh after eating in the Diamond Jamboree plaza for dessert. The store is spacious with plenty of seating. Even on a Tuesday night there was a lot of people eating here. We ordered the crystal mochi milk shaved ice which came out fast and was delicious and big enough for us to share amongst 4 girls. We were waiting on our hot items that we ordered - Hot Grass Jelly combo and Bubble waffle. We were waiting for almost 30 min and we never saw our number move out of the In Progress to Ready on the digital board. The staff wasn't calling out numbers either and where we were sitting we were far from their serving area. When we finally went to check up on our order, apparently it's been sitting out there for a long time and our hot items already cooled down. We asked for them to reheat our bubble waffle so at least it's warm. I think the staff wasn't updating any of the orders that it's ready on the board bc all the parties around us had to go check on their order. The food is still consistent but all the customers can only count on that order board to get our order. It was disappointing we were waiting around for a long time not knowing our food was already ready and it got cold sitting out there.

    After my lobster dinner, stopped by this Meet Fresh location on the way home for a dessert. Same as the other location in Tustin, service was very slow even though they have five (5) associates working behind the counter and making dessert I stood there for a long time and no one even acknowledged my presence nor asked me what I needed, or how they can help me. I realized that they have a self-order kiosk but someone has been on it forever doing his orders for a table of four. I finally had to ask out loud to get their attention if I can order. The dessert wasn't cheap but it was very good. The place however, was not clean, tables were sticky with foods and crumbs leftover from previous customers and no one wipes them down.

    So many options! I recommend going when they are not too busy. Most of the time I always see a lot of others here. But I came in the afternoon to get their red bean soup. Will need to come back to try other items

    Food: Delicious, refreshing icy herbal. The Icy Grass Jelly No.6 is my favorite. I usually order it and add on extra jelly, taro balls. Each add on is only around $0.50 ~ $1. The herbal shaved ice is always interesting to enjoy. It'll bring a good refreshing coldness to your mouth at first, then followed by a slight bitterness from herbal, and sweetness from rock sugar (I think). If I happen to want more of the herbal, I order Herbal Tea with Milk. It's delicious too. Service: Friendly staff, online order. I highly recommended placing online order just 10 or 15 minutes before you get to the store so that you can skip the wait and enjoy your freshly made orders.

    I ordered the special: purple rice but it came out kinda cold even though it's suppose to be hot... and the service was poor. Lack of communication and warmth... he lets me stand there wondering how to order up to 5-10 min! I ordered dine in and I have to pick it up myself? Overall food wasn't too bad but the service was hella POOR!!!

    Luv a good meet fresh. Staff were helpful and accommodating. Inside seating available. First time trying the taro it was plump, chewy and filling. Grass jelly was refreshing! Wish there was a little more of the crushed ice to balance everything but still enjoyed chewing and chewing. If you're not a fan of boba or mochi texture this may not be your thing. I'd recommend trying the shaved ice!

    We tried the boba shaved ice. It came with a syrup with the boba My bro crave this. He says this boba is hard to make. Need constant stirring Dessert is great Dessert Service is fast But not enough staff cleaning tables. 1/3 of the tables needs cleaning Bathroom broken and smelled like chlorine?? We sat outside :-/

    It seems like they changed their menu recently as they don't have as many shaved ice bowls as they used to. I also noticed that the grass jelly bowl doesn't include a lot of the toppings it formerly did and I had to pay extra for the melon jelly which used to automatically come with the item (I believe it also used to come with boba, but I didn't pay extra for that this time). I think I prefer more variety with less of each item than giving more of the glutenous rice cubes.

    Filthy bathroom door

    After seeing the restroom I refused to eat here. Keep in mind that the employees making the food use that restroom too and it's disgusting!!! There are puddles on the floor (fall hazard AND sanitation violation). The door and walls are black with dirt. The whole restroom smells like wet dog and is humid. It looks like the trash can has never been cleaned. The sink inside the restroom is gross, but there is another sink just outside the restroom door. The water in that sink gets scalding hot and literally almost burned me. I don't know how this place hasn't been shut down. Eat at your own risk here! See video and pictures. Appalling.

    This chain is known for more traditional Taiwanese shaved ice and chewy balls. We ordered the signature icy taro ball, which was a good amount for two people. I think this type of Taiwanese shaved ice is meant to be more on the light side, I prefer sweeter desserts. I wish they gave more of the creamer, I think we age it all very early and the bottom portion of the bowl did not have any. I would definitely get one of the bigger shaved ices since they have more flavor, but the portion size is pretty big. Diamond jamboree is busy as always and parking will be hard, but this store wasn't too crowded on a Wednesday evening. There was plenty of seating, though the tables did not seem like they were regularly cleaned.

    Cold Tofu with Boba and Rice Balls
    Beto R.

    With the temperature hitting the 80s, we stopped by Meet Fresh for some shaved ice. The store is huge for a dessert shop with seating for 60+ people. Orders can be placed through 2 in-store digital panels or at the counter. Each order comes with customizations such as how much sugar and ice, plus you can also add extra toppings like rice ball, taro, jelly and boba at additional charges. Adding toppings can be fun, but the cost will add up quite quickly. We ordered the following: Icy Taro Ball Signature with 1/2 Sugar: The shaved ice was smooth, and all toppings were fresh and delicious. The reduced sugar option was perfect, refreshing without being overly sweet. Cold Tofu with Boba and Rice Balls: Tofu was silky soft and the rice balls and boba had a very nice texture. The downside: 30 minutes wait to get the orders when the store was not busy. Hopefully it was one those rare short staffed days.

    What tea is used for their herbal tea? It tastes exactly like herbal jelly, so I wanted to check if they added any tea to it or if it is just the same herb-filled liquid they use to make the jelly.

    Think of it this way Herbal Jelly = Less sweetened herbal tea added in agar to be jello.

    Are you offering curbside pickup?

    Unfortunately the plaza offered no curbside for such service. Also extremely understaffed.

    Any vegan options?

    Hi Amy! Most of our items are vegan-friendly. There are a few items that contain dairy, milk, creamer, whipped cream, or condensed milk. Be sure to check-in with a store associate for more information regarding the nutrition facts of our items.

    What do you use as sweetener in the milk tea? High fructose corn syrup? White sugar? Honey?

    Everything in the store is sweeten with genuine sugar.

    Can I just get the toppings? I only want to eat a lot of taro balls

    Yeah, it would just be $1 per serving.

    Do they offer ordering by app or phone?

    Hi Julie, currently you can place orders through the Meet Fresh app or through Yelp. We are not accepting phone orders at the time due to high order volumes. Hope to see you soon!

    Are they open on Christmas?

    Yes, Meet Fresh is open regular hours on Christmas day 11am to 11pm on weekdays and 11am to 12am on weekends.

    It says "Please return trays to return area." Where is the 'return area'? I see a 'pickup area' only.

    There is a return area next to the utensils and napkins station, which is also next to the bathrooms. Keep walking towards the back of the store and you'll see it on the right.

    Any non dairy options for the drinks?

    Yeah, they have a new soy milk option for drinks and you can even substitute the milk in the drinks with soy.

    Does your dessert contain any gluten products?

    Hi Thanh, most of our items are gluten-free. However, the barley, sesame ball, Q mochi, mung bean cakes, and nougat cookies contain gluten.

    Do you have less sweetened red bean soup? Love the red bean but would like less sugar?

    They can do less sweet, but they add water to make it less sweet

When I searched on Google for ice cream near me- chocolate shoppe ice cream popped up then upon looking further I realized it was sold within duck donuts. Still ventured to try it Two guys working, one said he was new, and didn't know where all the flavors were / allowed us to try some b4 we ordered but was a pain bc the flavors were spread between two freezers in front of store and whatever was in the back. Placed an order for 3 double scoop cups (all they had) and took a really long time to make them having to figure out where the flavors were between the front and back of store. Then. They didn't have lids to cover them or a bag to put them in - so we literally covered each cup with another cup and put in a box I had from Costco in my trunk to get them home without dripping everywhere in my car. And I say dripping everywhere bc by the time he finished the last cup/. The others were melted from taking so long. They should probably just stick to donuts if they can't fully support the ice cream products. If I knew now/ I wouldn't have chosen to try there for ice cream. Very unfortunate, bc we probably would have loved the ice cream - but the experience clearly trumped the product.

The tiramisu was decent, more cream-forward and lighter on the coffee flavor than I expected. Overall, these pastries are definitely on the sweeter, cream-based side, and honestly, that is exactly what made them so good to me. I do not want desserts to be less sweet, I want them to feel indulgent and perfect, and these did. I will absolutely keep going back, especially for the lavender, chocolate, and pistachio pastries.

    I originally just had a craving and wanted to go buy a cake--specifically heading there for the…read more*Greenteatella*--but the owner told me it's only available on weekends . Instead, he recommended the *Creamtella* and their matcha beverages. I was absolutely blown away; who would have thought that *Cheesetella's matcha drinks would be this delicious?! There is a wide selection of matcha drinks available in-store. The owner mentioned that they use high-quality matcha (I'm guessing he meant ceremonial grade?), and he even showed me their preparation process--specifically how they whisk it to achieve that smooth, "mirror-like" finish! Matcha Einspanner Personally, I prefer this kind of simple flavor profile: matcha blended with a rich, thick cream topping. It offers a satisfyingly subtle tea aroma with every sip--a true delight for any matcha enthusiast! Strawberry Matcha w/ Pistachio Cream If you love strawberries and enjoy sweet flavors, you'll likely enjoy this one. However, since I'm not personally a huge fan of the combination of strawberry jam and matcha, I felt just "okay" about it--though it is a tasty drink! The pistachio cream topping definitely earns some extra points here! Creamtella The combination of cream and cake gave me a whole new appreciation for their pastries. The cream perfectly counteracts the cake's tendency to be a bit dry; together, they make for a truly perfect pairing! You absolutely *must* give this a try!! It gets a huge thumbs-up from me! Chocotella This one is fairly standard and straightforward. The small chocolate pieces add a nice textural element, and the flavor is a definite plus--especially if you're a chocolate lover! However, the cake itself leans a bit toward the drier side--much like their original plain flavor (which is why I still highly recommend going for the versions with added cream!) To be honest, the first time I tried their cakes, I wasn't particularly impressed. Later, I saw posts suggesting that heating them up before eating makes them taste much better. But this time, the *Creamtella* truly blew me away, completely changing my opinion of the brand. And the matcha drinks are just the icing on the cake! The owner is genuinely a wonderful person--so friendly and enthusiastic! Since it's just him and one other employee working in the shop, making the drinks takes a little time, so please be patient! ^_^

    It was one stressful week and when I saw this dessert shop, it put a smile on my face!…read more The souffle plain cheesecake was our pick. It was a pretty good size, about 4 servings for us. We had it with some fresh berries. Super moist and fluffy with a light cheese taste. So delicious. So many ways to serve too, like with side of fresh whipped cream, a scoop of ice cream, macerated berries, skies the limit. They also have coffee on the menu, only caffeinated though. Would have loved one, but it was just too late in the day. Next time! It paired very well with tea :) It is located in the Harvard Place shopping center, where parking is plenty. Perfect little pick me up for you and your loved ones. Makes a sweet gift for your favorite person too. Enjoy!

    Such a cute boba place . I been here when it was bober tea and now they're naricha tea. This place…read moreis cute a lot of areas in this place that you can do photo ops with your friends and family a perfect hang out spot . Their boba is really good and flavorful let alone refreshing perfect for the hot summer. I really love places that have kiosk , makes it easier to order and very convenient you order from the machine and like 5-10mins later your drinks are ready . I will come back because I eat to try their Dubai strawberries and see what the hype is about. All and all this place is pretty good. Spacious and has a very friendly welcoming. Oh and have I mentioned they have a lot of Filipino inspired drinks ! THAT IS 100% AMAZING ! I love that they have Taho on their menu ! Thank you Naricha for making amazing drinks and awesome good vibes

    Decided to try this shop due to a BOGO free offer on the brown sugar brûlée and boba. Drinks were…read morealready ready when we arrived. Parking can get a little tight in the free parking lot, but we didn't have too much trouble on Sunday afternoon. The interior was very cute and pretty with flowers. They also sell mochi donuts -- this looks like a rebrand Bober Tea shop that's known for their "stir fried" boba. The brown sugar boba in our drinks tasted like the super soft and flavorful boba. My husband and I really loved the boba. But at 100% sweet, the drink was wayyy too sweet that we had to dilute it with water. Next time I would get half sweet. It had a very nice black tea flavor that shone through which is unique from other boba shops.

    This was actually my second visit because I wanted to try more of their specialties. The first…read moretime, I had their Chocolate Bingsoo, and it was amazing. I'm honestly not a big fan of bingsoo, but this one changed my mind. The ice was so smooth and creamy, almost like ice cream. It wasn't overly sweet, but it kept you coming back for another bite. This time, I decided to try their Mango Special since it's one of their bestsellers. I love mangoes, but unfortunately this one was a bit too sour for my taste, so I didn't enjoy it as much as the chocolate version. I'd still come back though. The Chocolate Bingsoo is definitely my favorite, and I think I'll give the Watermelon Bingsoo a try next time.

Where it gets disappointing is when I recall for my last 2 visits to Southern California based locations have left me wondering if I'm ever terribly unlucky with their product or their shaved ice is always produced like ice pebbles, and not like the smooth, creamy shaved snow their competition offers. I most recently visited their Irvine location and on this busy evening, I ordered their Strawberry Bingsoo. After about a 15+ min wait, my buzzer rang, and I picked it up at the counter. Fortunately a table had just opened up. Otherwise there are tables outside their shop as well. Once again their Bingsoo was more crunchy than smooth and velvety in my mouth. There were strawberry slices on top with a few mochi pieces, and a little condensed milk drizzle on top. The middle and bottom layers were just crunchy ice. This was also gravely disappointing. Parking on weekend evenings look to be challenging as it was for me.
