Coffee27
Bryan C.

So first off this location dropped their franchise of Meet Fresh and is now been rebranded to Coffee27. Most of everything is still reusing Meet Fresh bowls and paper bowls/cups as they transition over on a lazy way. Ordered their signature Ice Grassy jelly named similar to how Meet Fresh had it. The grass jelly is still very good, with large colored mochi balls on it. The bottom ice is still nice and sweet but a bit different in texture than the Meet Fresh dark ice. All right other add ins like jelly and boba is missing. Still a great dessert and would still come here for it. Fruit shave ice has been completely phased out :( and the owner wants this to be more of a coffee place. I don't understand this as there are so many empty new coffee shops around and places like Twinkle Tea, Molly Tea, Cha Express, and 7 leaves already full this void and have much of us loyal to them already that there really isn't a room for another coffee shop... Service with Diana handling both ordering and making the orders was awesome and see her getting overwhelmed with just apologizing and trying to explain to transition to so many disappointed customers that ended up walking out is very discouraging. I do hope this place improves and does something different to draw people in but at the moment they will have a uphill battle. Give them a chance though as it's still a good place to kick back.

I've never been to a more lackluster Meet Fresh or cafe or even franchise for that matter like ... barebones give us NOTHINGGGG Literally half the menu isn't even able to be ordered but they can't even take it off the kiosk and you have to reference all the notes + signs before you place your order because it being on the kiosk does not mean it is actually available !!! And you HAVE to order at the kiosk they won't take your order in person!!! The girl working there was actually so unfriendly like I am sorry that your management is doing a terrible job and you have to deal with everyone's questions ("hi sorry so does that mean XYZ is unavailable? Can ABC be substituted for DEF?") but these are valid questions given all the signs and everything going on! Also she THREW spoons onto the tray my friend was holding like ... that was so unnecessarily rude ?? The food was fine but ... service and management is NOT it !! Handle your inventory better and don't take out your frustrations on your guests!! No taro paste, no taro anything, no crystal boba, no mochi q, no mochi in general, no mango... just so much is unavailable and those ingredients are BUILT INTO the sets when you try to order! Don't get mad at us for wondering how to customize and go around it! See video for reference (muted on purpose... but it's pretty self explanatory)

QQ mochi and pudding shaved ice
Vira P.

I'm the type that doesn't skip dessert. But I'm an old lady that needs to watch her blood sugar. So when I saw this beautiful Pudding & Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice, I opted for 50% sugar It was so good! The sweetness of the milk in the shaved ice wasn't too sweet, which is just want I wanted. The mochi definitely had the QQ factor. They had a bouncy chew. The larger Q mochi consisted of a brown sugar mochi, which is basically boba, and a regular one. They were sweet, so it paired well with the less-sweet shaved ice. The mini Q mochi didn't taste like anything, so they were there purely for texture. There were also almond and caramel puddings. The almond pudding was reminiscent of haupia. And the caramel pudding was basically a flan. Though, it did have coffee notes. The melon jelly was a little sweet, and also brought a different chewy texture to the dessert along with the crunchy coconut flakes. And on top was a scoop of vanilla ice cream with caramel. This dessert was truly a feast for the eyes and stomach. Despite this dessert looking large, it was actually the medium size. It definitely could feed a party of 4, so it was plenty for a party of 2. We couldn't finish it. We were there late in the evening, and there were signs everywhere about the unavailability of the bubble waffles. The employees even taped a sign on their backs! We were there a second night, and even more dishes weren't available. So it seems it's better to get there earlier in the day, unless they're having inventory issues. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very large space with ample seating. And they have large screens where you can check your order number[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can get pretty noisy, but that's part of the vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hope one day to get their waffles.

Passion fruit icy
Peggy C.

Tried a new Meet Fresh location, and enjoyed our experience as always. This one is located in the front corner of the Hilton, which has underground parking (as well as some time-limited spots at ground level). [[HIGHLIGHT]]I liked the decor of this location, and it is huge.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff member I interacted with was very sweet, and helpful, and our dessert (the passion fruit icy) was fantastic. That being said, this also does have all the usual hallmarks of seemingly every Meet Fresh I visit: [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the surface it looks clean, but all the tables are for some reason kind of sticky.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kiosks that make it overly difficult to find what it is you want to order (Which is why I had to find a staff member - the item I wanted wasn't listed in the section that it's supposed to be in). Menus scattered all over the counter, and this one had a lot of - while very cute and well drawn - signs saying they were out of a LOT of items. And clearly this was a long-term problem, not only because these signs had clearly had time put into drawing them, but also the menus had full sections blocked out with tape. It's just a lot of really simple things that could easily be fixed and make a Meet Fresh experience all that much better.

It was definitely my first time here and I had a good experience here. The desserts I ordered were very nice and nicely presented and tasted good as well. Maybe I will order something else to try, but if not, I might order the same thing. The Boba drink was nice and fresh, especially on a hot weather. The service was well and efficient and accurate. It actually came out fast. Now that's a service!

This is next to a hotel by Atlantic Times Square. This is a huge space with bright lighting, and lots of seating with couches and large tables. There's 2 large ordering screens at the front but you can also order with the staff at the front counter. I did this since it was taking a while with people taking their time to decide. The desserts and drinks came out pretty fast. I got a tofu pudding with taro balls and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too sweet at all! It didn't seem like there was much sugar added to the tofu pudding and taro. The only sugar came from the sweet soup. Very refreshing on a hot day!

I like the location as is it's close to the freeway, restaurants, AMC, and supermarket with the hotels on top. There's some 30 min parking but otherwise you will need to walk from the structure. I parked at the 30 min so not sure if the structure is free or paid parking. You need to order from the kiosk. The items on the kiosks does not have a price tag. As a paying customer, I would like to know how much it cost. You can find out by either checking out and looking at the cost or go out of line and look at the front TV waiting for it to change to your item if it's on there. I ordered the Mango sago and the egg waffle in matcha red bean, chocolate and original to go. You need to make sure the boxes are not stacked once you get to the car so the cut out holes in the boxes allows the moisture to escape so the egg waffle doesn't get soggy.Personally I like the chocolate the best. Not too many places have egg waffle so I'm happy a spot closer to me has opened. The Mango sago was overly sweet but still good. However at $12.50+ tax and potential tip, it's quite expensive. I'll rather go pay for a meal or just get a boba drink.

Order was ready for pick-up
Ann A.

While I must confess a slight preference for traditional ordering methods, my difficulty with the kiosk is simply a matter of personal familiarity. Thankfully, a staff member kindly assisted me in ordering the Icy Passion Fruit Sorbet Bowl Signature, and I thoroughly enjoyed the delightful textural variety. My husband also appreciated the sorbet. I had initially hoped to order a mango shaved ice dessert, as pictured in the window display. I believe the mango-shaped items were mini q? I enjoyed all the toppings, while my husband enjoyed the Sorbet.

Benjamin R.

I enjoyed trying Meet Fresh for the first time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a great place to chat and relax so i would come back here for dessert with friends![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I do strongly feel that $15 is too expensive, especially if the medium is only a dollar cheaper. The dessert itself wasn't that special as well. The toppings were good but I preferred more flavored ice.

First time.e trying out this location, vs the Temple City one. Love it! The staff is super friendly. The portions are huge! Tried two grass jelly specials and a shaved ice. Had plenty to bring home. Plenty of free parking in the attached garage (shared with Holiday Inn). Felt less crowded and not as chaotic as the Temple City location. Will be back!

Icy Sherbet Bowl
Travis P.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Can never really go wrong with Meet Fresh (besides that its usually crowded) but I came to this one after watching at AMC nearby and it wasn't that crowded around dinner time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a ice sherbet bowl and it came out in about 2 minutes. Delicious dessert and everything was as I expected. Love that they opened until 11 pm on Friday so was able to hangout until it closed.

Drinking a freshly passion fruit green tea drink.
Sergio Z.

Meet Fresh is a dessert spot in Monterey Park located in the same plaza with the Holiday Inn Express and a short walking distances to Atlantic Times Square. They serve refreshing drinks like tea,and shave ice and other kind desserts.

Thai Tea Shaved Ice
Justina N.

I've tried multiple Meet Fresh locations and this one is pretty nice. The place wasn't too busy at night. Ordered a large Thai Tea shaved ice which was seriously huge. Definitely large enough to be split with at least 4 people. I think this is one of the better shaved ices because when the ice melts down, it still tastes like a regular Thai tea vs a watered down dessert. It might be a little sweet to start for some. It doesn't have a dedicated parking lot, but does have a parking structure with some 30 minute spots. The inside is spacious with a good amount of tables. But it might be hard to hear if your order is ready if you sit at the opposite end of the room

Is there a working phone number for this location?Phone number listed always goes straight to voicemail. Pretty inconvenient as I wasn't able to call to ask about my order I placed online.

I don't think they answer their phone

As the name of the bakery implies, it's "Perfectly Sweet"…read more I'm generally a bit more wary of purchasing baked goods from non-Asian bakeries since they tend to be sweeter than what my palate likes, but not here! The hours are a bit limited, but I managed to make it in time to grab some pre-made baked goods to go. I got a bag of coconut macaroons, bag of several chocolate chip cookies, 2 red velvet cookies, a baked dog cookie biscuit, and a cute Keroppi sugar cookie. Most of these ended up being gifts, but I did enjoy one of the red velvet cookies and for an already sweet flavor profile with white chocolate chips in it, I was already fearing the worse, but went perfect with a glass of milk. The edges were nicely crisped by the baking too. Delicious. Love that they had a stock of cute, pre-decorated cookies available as well (some Sanrio characters, animals, etc.) They also list all the ingredients used in each of the baked goods that they have prepackaged, which is nice. It's also a cafe where you can order drinks, as well as a place you can order cakes custom order or what they have behind the glass already. There's both seating inside and outside.

The cashier was quick and friendly. Total came out to $9 which is pricey in my opinion, but I thought the taste would make up for it. Ube and matcha swirl: Honestly, the ice cream was just okay. I definitely could taste the ube flavor, but the matcha flavor was weak. Additionally, the ice cream was not creamy. It was slightly icey. Somisomi's ice cream is much creamier, so I was disappointed with With Love's quality. Taiyaki with cookie butter: I really liked their taiyaki! It was crispy and slightly sweet. The cookie butter was great, but I just wish there was more filling. I do think their taiyaki is better than Somisomi's! Overall, With Love was a nice place to try for the first time, but I don't think I'll be back. I still prefer Somisomi, especially since they are actually cheaper than With Love with better quality.

Its a small shop on Main in Alhambra and there's a lot in the back as well as street parking. It's a brightly lit, pick up and go type place though there are a couple tables out front. The baked goods look really cute and enticing and I ended up going for a mystery box since I wasn't after a specific cake and the mystery aspect seemed appealing. I also got 6 egg tarts, which were a great price at $1 each. The baked goods/sweets looked better than they tasted flr me. The egg tarts had a texture that was a bit off putting for myself, it was more of a steamed egg texture than a silky custardy filling. Flavorwise, they were ok though. The mystery box was fun and I got an apple cake, peach cake, and a panda cake. Now the mystery box is day old cakes so keeping that in mind, they are like cream based "cakes" and are essentially cream covered gels/jellies of some sort. The flavor and textures were good, very light cream with strong fruit flavors (the panda was also a peach flavor, I think). As a set of the mystery box price, I think the cakes are fun to try but I wouldn't, personally, pay those prices for essentially shaped cream. I'm glad I tried a new spot but ultimately don't think it was super impressive and found most of their desserts and baked items to be average, or a little less so as for the egg tarts.

The Egg Heaven was honestly one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The flavors were light but still incredibly satisfying.

It was also definitely worth the price, it came with three pieces, which was more than enough to share between two people. The Iced Honeycomb Latte was just as good. It doesn't come sweetened at first, but as the dalgona slowly melts into the coffee, it adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, you can always ask for less dalgona. On top of the great food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly.
