    Signature Hot Red Bean Soup with grass jelly
    Sarah S.

    Wanted some dessert after dinner so decided to get some grass jelly here since I haven't came here in years. The parking in this plaza isn't the easiest but they do have underground parking. There is a large indoor seating area with comfortable seats. You can order at the counter or at the kiosks. We got the Signature Ice Grass Jelly ($10) and added red bean topping ($1), and also got the Signature Hot Red Bean Soup ($10) with additional grass jelly as topping ($1). The toppings are kinda expensive so didn't add more. The menu has a good variety of dessert options, hot and cold, plus drinks. Their shaved ice looked pretty good so I do want to come back someday. We did dine in so we took a seat while we waited. When the order is ready, they send a text to the number provided and you go to the pick up area. And they have small bowls and spoons to grab yourself if needed, which I liked. I liked the signature ice grass jelly. The portion is pretty big for the price and is good enough for two people to share. The taro and pumpkin balls are as good as I remember, and they tasted good with the grass jelly and shaved ice. I did do less ice but it was still a big portion for two. It tasted extra good after adding the half and half. For the hot red bean soup, it was pretty good too with the taro scoops inside. But I still prefer the iced desserts. Overall, this is a safe dessert spot option for Taiwanese grass jelly, shaved ice, and drinks. They have lots of Taiwanese options to choose from. I think it isn't as popular as it used to be with all the new spots opening up but it is a good Taiwanese dessert and boba spot. It is not amazing but the quality and portion are both good.

    Enjoyed the shaved ice with various mochi, different jellies, peanut. Alll of it was covered in condensed milk. 3 people shared one after dinner and we did not finish it. They gave all sorts of drinks and can choose the level of sweetness, you order in the front, given a buzzer and pick up your own order. Parking can be a bit challenging

    The dessert here definitely taste better fresh and especially at this location. Arcadia location is okay... its hit or miss for consistency. This location, the service is ehhhhh ... young teens who dont want to work or avoid interactions with customers . No smile or eye contact. I come here 1x a week . If u need the bathroom, they won't give u the code, u MUST purchase something first and then you'll get a code to use bathroom .. my daughter had to use bathroom so badly but we had to order first . We tried to ask employee if we can use it first. Strictly whisper 'no'. So I asked another person... he gave us the wrong code .... unbelievable employees here. Atmosphere is nice . Parking is hard to find, so go underground for parking. Its in a nice plaza with a variety of foods and places to hang out if u want to come here to meet with friends and family . Ill give this place after 3 star since employees here show no interest to work there and horrible attitudes. U can just take anyone's order... they don't even care . If u asked them where is my order, they whisper softly .. honestly they cant even put effort to vocalize but i can hesr them talking amongst each other normally with normal voices . Anyways... Someone took our order and they didn't even know or care. Just let them know and they'll remake it. You'll get a text message when your order is ready . I only come here for authentication dessert, disregard the employees. Hehe

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature
    Sherry T.

    I've been coming here since they've been opened. I remembered the days when the lines were out the door and there were no kiosk ordering. It's nice to see it's still busy on a Friday night with big groups gathering. Because of the big groups, it's quite loud. Good amount of seating but the attention to the tables is lacking. I understand it gets busy, but the tables were not wiped down. We had to do it ourselves. The servers are not very friendly considering the fact that we're not even ordering with them. They just have to call our names. They are soft spoken and we couldn't hear or tell who they are calling. I still enjoy the desserts especially the Icy Grass Jelly Signature. The drinks are also yummy and my daughter loves their egg waffle.

    Ordered icy grass jelly for $10.50. Taro balls were nice and chewy. Plenty of underground parking.

    I really like their taro balls and hot grass jelly, so I order them quite often. Since parking in this plaza is not very convenient, I usually order through Uber Eats. The desserts always arrive still warm, which I really appreciate.

    Jenny T.

    This is my first time here and I thought that it was a little pricey for a bowl of ice grass jelly, two sesame balls, sago and almond pudding. Each item was tasty enough but the grass jelly and almond pudding could've had more flavor and the textures were a little too soft. I enjoyed it as it brought me back to my childhood when my great grandma would make these desserts for Chinese new year. Service is fast but not super helpful. The place was busy and people seemed to be doing family style but it felt a a little chaotic and messy.

    Winter Melon Tea
    Jane K.

    I got the winter melon tea half sweet with caramel pudding and the drink is sooo sweet! Thank goodness I got half sugar. But it's very good! Nice and velvety. Also I ordered the crystal mochi and mung bean mochi set and the crystal mochi is sooo good with red bean inside, very soft and delicate! I didn't really enjoy the mung bean cakes! That's okay though I'll still come back to get other things. My roommate got the tofu pudding set and really enjoyed that.

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature
    Tiffany H.

    Ordered the ice signature grass jelly with q mochi as an additional topping. It was good, and a nice refreshing treat especially on a warm day but giving it a 4 instead of a 5 star because they only gave me two pieces of q mochi, and I paid additional for that extra topping. Service was good, I received my order at the counter within 5 minutes of ordering. There is plenty of seating inside and you drop your tray and bowls off at the drop off window. Parking can be difficult since it's in a busy plaza with other shared businesses. Meet fresh is a safe option for Asian dessert imo.

    I will tell my story as how it happened. I was in Temple City. I needed to use the restroom like quick. I got lucky to have found a parking spot in the Camellia Square where Meet Fresh is located. I knew they were the biz that would have a restroom. I quickly walked in and headed to the restroom area. A code is required. I had to get the code from the staff at the front counter. I thought they were "All Gender" restrooms so I quickly punched in the code at the very first restroom closest to me. Well, they are not "All Gender" restrooms. I mistakenly went into the wrong restroom. Oh well, first time for everything. Funny thing is that two people came into the restroom I was in shortly after I entered. Luckily, they used the urinal. It's my fault I entered the wrong restroom, but seriously, they should have a different code for the women's and men's restrooms IMHO. This is one story that I will never forget! LOL In support of Meet Fresh, I ordered the Coco Sago Soup Signature to-go via their self-ordering kiosk. Staff was friendly. The wait time wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, for the last few Meet Fresh locations including this one that I have visited recently, their dining area is just a mess. Tables and chairs are not clean and organized. Floors are not swept. Atmosphere just looks dirty. Sorry, but I am a stickler when it comes to cleaniless and organization. They need to have dedicated staff to attend to the dining area throughout the day. THIS IS A MUST! Anyway, the Coco Sago Soup Signature had tons of great ingredients such as taro, miniature taro balls, soft and chewy boba, coconut flavored mochi, soft and bouncy sago, and freshly made coco sago soup which I love. It was good overall. However, I was surprised it did not taste sweet at all. I may have to ask them to sweeten it if I should get it again.

    Meet Fresh is my go-to spot for Egg Waffles. I love ordering via their self-pay kiosk but not too crazy about the wait for the order - it can take up to 20 to 30 minutes. Price is average and portions & taste are equivalent to that. They share a parking lot along with 8 other dining establishments, a bakery, some retail shops, and a gym so finding a parking may be a bit rough if you come during dinner time or weekends. Overall, a nice place to grab dessert after dinner.

    Grass jelly w/ taro and sweet potato balls (left) mochi (right)
    Yolanda S.

    Great location right next to Bistro Na's in Teapot Plaza. Ordering is easy with the self-serve kiosks by the front door. Our go-tos are the grass jelly signature and their seasonal shaved ice. You really can't go wrong with the sweet potato and taro balls, super bouncy and so satisfying. Not to mention, it's a legit Taiwanese dessert spot, the flavors and textures feel authentic, making it a place we're always happy to come back to!

    Do not order egg waffles here, especially to go. Half the size of anywhere else
    Tiff L.

    Once Upon a Time this place had more customer service and now everything is pretty much automated. You order from machines when you go in and then pick up your order at a counter with no pager or any notification of any sort. You just kind of have to figure it out. Not going to lie, there's stuff used to be considered pretty overpriced but now it's pretty much on par with how expensive everything's gotten. They didn't really raise their prices so I would consider it almost Fair now. I usually customize a grass jelly dessert and sometimes will get drinks. The one thing you can expect from them is definitely consistency. If you like their stuff you will, if you don't you won't. I won't post a picture of all the things other people take pictures of but I will definitely say absolutely do not get their egg waffle. The portion is half the size of what you would get anywhere else and it costs just as much. Especially to go, it comes in this crinkled nasty looking thing

    Hot Coco Sago Soup Signature with potaro balls; yum!

The staff here are boba masters. Prices here are competitive/standard. Expect about $5/drink. They also have a stampcard program! Buy 8 and get 1 free. We frequent Hello Boba because it's nearby and good. Even if there's more unique places like half and half, 3 cats, and twinkle brown sugar. I prefer Hello Boba. They're just really good, consistant, and quick. Always hits the spot. Staff are generally friendly and greet you with a smile. There's this one swole asian dude who's that has a rbf. I don't think it's personal though, he's probably always sore from hitting the gym. I almost never get a smile from him-- it's just business. He shows his love in a through his consistant drinks. Which I can appreciate. I usually take my drinks to go. But there was one time me and my son hung out and played board games. They have a nice variety. But just like all other boba places, the games are usually really beat up from all the useage from previous customers. Very casual. The only downside is that this place is dangerous to my waistline. Overall good for everyone of all ages and different ethnic backgrounds. Special Shoutout to Tuan. When my wife or son wants boba, sometimes I forget what our go-to order is. Tuan knows our order. It's people like Tuan that make places like Hello Boba special.

The lot itself doesn't really have enough parking spots available for the 4 or 5 businesses that are in this little plaza. My husband and I have been to the location in Arcadia a few times and decided to check out this location since we were in the area. We came here last Saturday night and ordered our drinks at the kiosk (not sure if you are order with an employee or not, but the 2 employees we saw behind the counter seemed busy working on drinks, since their backs were towards us). We ended up ordering: Purple Rice Drink, $5.95- My husband ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I didn't have any but he thought it was just fine and enjoyed it. But the size was rather small. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea $6.75 + Large Size $0.75- I ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I was disappointed with this drink because the tea was overstepped. Quite a shame because that bitter taste lingered and had a weird after taste with the osmanthus (which is a flower). But the osmanthus flavor seemed a little artificial (I really like osmanthus and usually like to order it at tea houses so I am familiar with the taste). This drink did not taste good. ----------------------------- (Total= $13.45) Wait time was a little after 10 minutes. There wasn't really much interaction with the employees. The staff just placed our drink on the counter and called out the drink order number and then my husband walked up to the counter to get it. You had to get your own straw, which is right by the area where you pick up the drinks. I really don't see myself coming back to this location and probably won't be going back to BenGong's Tea in general anytime soon (the last time we went to the Arcadia location, my drink was also over steeped).

    Torotea has become one of my go-to's in the SGV although they are definitely on the pricier side…read more The interior is modern and cozy, but there is no space to sit and chit chat, only a space to sit to wait for drinks. They provide self-serve water outside of the store in the case that there is a long wait. Fortunately, this has never been the case when I have visited. The employees were also super helpful and very well-versed with their menu. They knew exactly what drink paired well with what jelly. All the drinks are true to the taste profile as described on the website. The Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi is one of the most popular items and it was indeed very buttery. It had a very unique taste profile, but definitely not for me. I personally really really really enjoyed the Misty Oolong MT which had a light-roasted, malty flavor with subtle buttery highlights. It paired perfectly with the osmanthus jelly. The best drink Torotea has to offer by far!

    Second time visiting this location, and it was just as good as I remembered!…read more I hadn't been here in a few months, and it looks like they've expanded their menu. They also added more outdoor seating, which is nice since the interior is pretty small. Parking is street parking only, but I've never had any trouble finding a spot. Emily, the cashier, was incredibly friendly and helpful. She took the time to walk us through the new seasonal drinks and menu additions, which made it much easier to decide what to order. Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapioca ($7.85) - My go-to drink! - Perfect level of sweetness without being overpowering - Rich, creamy, nutty flavor - Brown sugar tapioca had the perfect soft and chewy texture (only wished it was cut a bit smaller) Pinewood Milk Tea ($6.85) - Similar to the Popcorn Milk Tea, but with a lighter, more subtle nutty flavor - Still delicious, though I personally prefer the Popcorn Milk Tea Jasmine Oolong Milk Tea ($6.85) - A great option if you're looking for something lighter and more refreshing Everything was made well, and the service made the experience even better. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu. Love that they still do daily samples!
