I hate that I know about this place bc it's my new addiction. I usually grab two when I'm there, one to eat now and one to eat later my absolute favorite is the black sesame walnut dessert. The texture is so light and creamy so it feels like eating healthy ice cream. You can order at the counter but there's also a convenient kiosk if you already know what you want. Only downside is that when I initially looked at the nutrition facts I was like "oh, it's 165 calories for this dessert! Nice" but if you look at it more closely it says the there's 3 servings in a container. Okay, no way there's 3 servings in that jar read more

Coconut lovers' dessert spot! Prices are on the higher side, but it's worth it for us since we do love coconut. It's a reusable, cute glass jar, which made it a little pricey too. Wide selections of flavors. We got their mango coconut. Not too sweet jelly and sweet mango toppings. I like that the tip starts at $1, not 15% or even 18% on their POS terminal. They only accept credit cards for payment. The place is small but has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff was nice and offered us to taste their coconut jelly before we ordered. It's a must try. Will absolutely back and try different flavors. read more

The store design is inviting. Nice ambience, cozy place, Tge jar tapioca was awesomely tasty and flavorable, can taste the coconut and almond. The price for $12 plus was ok. Free container and a bag. Recommendable. Service was awesome. read more

So refreshingly good! If you're the kind of person who prefers their desserts not too sweet and a little healthier, then this is the perfect spot for you! I love that they have so many flavors to choose from--you can go all the way fruity with mango, strawberry or even avocado, or choose one with coffee, matcha, or even banana nutella! Every coconut dessert comes in the cutest jar too. I think I'll actually be reusing mine instead of disposing them. What we tried: Jasmine Coconut - 3.5/5 Sunset Mango Coconut - 4/5 Banana Nutella Coconut - 4/5 Triple Latte - 5/5 My favorite out of the ones we had was definitely the Triple Latte. The coffee jelly added a bit of different texture to the dessert and the coffee flavor wasn't too strong, which surprisingly I preferred for this. I couldn't help but finish the whole thing on my own, and super quick at that too! Another one I was really excited to try was the Jasmine Coconut, which comes in a smaller jar, but it turned out to be a little underwhelming for me. You can barely taste the jasmine tea jelly. Don't get me wrong, it was still good--I just hoped you could taste the jasmine more. The shop was charming with a few tables and chairs, but it was a little hot inside. There was also just one person at the counter, but she was quick, friendly and very helpful--I don't think the speed of service suffered at all. read more

I like that they use cute, glass jars and that their dessert isn't sweet. However, I didn't love the texture of it and there wasn't much flavor to it. It also was not good after one day as a leftover. It's cute, but this is just one of those over-hyped places thanks to social media. Not really interested in coming back to try more flavors. read more

If you're a fan of coconut desserts, MeloMelo Coconut Dessert at Westfield UTC is absolutely worth the visit! The Mango Coconut, Avocado Coconut, and Cream Oreo flavors were all incredibly delicious--fresh, creamy, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. Every bite was rich in flavor and beautifully presented. The drive from Chula Vista was completely worth it, and I'll definitely be back to try more flavors. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions and make recommendations, making the entire experience even better. If you're in the La Jolla/UTC area and craving a unique dessert, this place is a must-visit! read more

The quality of the contents is great! Our experience was odd because we ordered on their kiosk then were basically forgotten about. We gave them the benefit of the doubt that maybe they needed to make/assemble the order. After 10-15 minutes I asked them how long it generally takes. They asked if XYZ was my order and pulled it from the case where it was already prepped and sitting from before we arrived (so they saw it but didn't complete it during that time). Again, the quality of the product was great but the service was disappointing considering we were the only people in the store. read more

MeloMelo is a coconut dessert place inside the UTC mall. The flavor of the coconut is subtle and enjoyable. It does seem a bit pricey though since each jar is over $10+ for a dessert. They do give you cute glass jars with their dessert which does work great for my overnight oats at home. The coconut jelly was much more enjoyable than the oat jelly that had some tea flavor. The jellies are not too sweet and a good level of sweetness. read more

I enjoy the mango coconut -- fresh, not too sweet, and clean-tasting. The yogurt itself is super light and smooth, almost tastes like a crossover between yogurt and the Asian soft tofu dessert. If you like delicate textures rather than thick or tangy yogurt, this will be right up your alley. They also have a bunch of options and toppings to choose from. It is pretty pricey for what you get, which is why I'm knocking off a star. Still, it's a nice treat once in a while, especially on a warm day. Would come back when I'm in the mood for something refreshing and not too heavy. read more

Having a store dedicated to coconut jelly is different. I purchased the mango coconut jelly and sesame coconut jelly. The mango jelly came with fresh fruit. The sesame coconut jelly had a couple of walnuts and a black nutty sesame paste. Both were light, not overly sweet and refreshing. I preferred the mango coconut since the flavor was more balanced. These desserts are costly partly due to the packaging (glass containers that are reusable) and prime space and location in the UTC mall. The store is small, airy, bright and welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful. read more

One of my favorite desserts to get! I've tried a few flavors now and my consistent favorite is sunset mango which is the coconut pudding, purple rice, and mango - reminds me a lot of mango sticky rice! Sooo good. They have other unique flavors that I like to sometimes rotate in but my go to is definitely sunset mango. Staff are friendly and service is really quick even when there's a line. read more

If you don't like desserts that are "too sweet" this might be the place for you. It definitely feels and tastes healthy. The coconut base is addicting. However, it is super expensive. It's $12 for one glass cup (which you can keep) but that's too much for the amount you get. I wish it was cheaper otherwise I would get it all the time. The service is great though for sure. read more

First had this in the east bay and is a nice but expensive dessert. You're basically paying for the glass jar and the pink bag it comes with. Even so, it's a great and light dessert. This location is in Westfield Mall and took a while to find it. My wife had the avocado coconut but tried my taro one and wanted to order mine for the road. There's a digital pad you can order if you know what you want and pay there. Once order went thru, we got it within a minute. Pre made for sure. We love this dessert. Favorite based on employee is the Mango and the taro read more

First time here at this MeloMelo Coconut Dessert location at Westfield UTC in San Diego. Both my daughters and I arrived towards closing time. A few other customers were also here getting their coconut jello dessert. Cool! I am all for dessert any time of the day and night LOL. It's a cute place. Love their soft peach theme color! Lady staff who took my order was very friendly and helpful. I asked her what were her favorite flavors. She said the staff pick has been oreo matcha and sunset mango coconut. Thank you miss! I'll have to try them one day. We went with our go-to(s)... 2 coconut double, 1 mango coconut, 1 oreo cream. Durian coconut is one of my favorites. I didn't get it this time around... will have to catch it next time. I love the smooth and wiggly texture of the coconut jelly. They are not overly sweet which is perfect. What I like about the fruit ones is that they use real fruits. Thank you! Prices can be on the higher end, but it's worth every penny! Highly recommend for the coconut connoisseur! If you're not a big fan of coconut, still give it a try and see if you like it or not. You never know... it may surprise you. We'll definitely be back for sure the next time we're at Westfield UTC. Happy Coconut'ing! read more

If you've never been you must try! Rio the shift lead and Harris took care of us. It was our first time at this location. Our previous trip was at an LA location where the service was lacking. Rio and Harris were understanding of the importance of great customer service and they more than made up for the lacking at the LA location. The kindness we experienced here today in comparison was like night and day. Rio shared some samples of the coconut base where was super tasty. The pudding was light and easy to eat. All Asians like desserts that aren't too sweet and this wasn't too sweet. A promotion was going on for spending $20 and getting the 3rd one half off. They have so many yummy options we picked mango, durian and banana Nutella. Rio opened up a container of the mango to show us how ripe the mango coconut pudding was. My kid picked that because what's better than juicy ripe mango? The answer is durian. Durian cannot be eaten at the store, there was a sign by the display. This was such a refreshing dessert for the abnormally hot weather we've been having. Right after I got home, I dug right into the durian coconut pudding. On the bottom were big pieces of creamy sweet ripe durian. The aroma perfumed my entire home. Each dessert comes with this cute reusable glass container and a lid. I've been reusing them for chia puddings, overnight oats, salad dressings, spice mixes...etc. I saw on their website that we can return 10 clean containers for one free Jasmine coconut pudding! Just another way to help the planet a little. I shared this dessert location with a friend from Hong Kong because the texture and taste is similar to cold double skinned milk. Iykyk. read more

The staffs were friendly and attentive. The service was quick. Not that many tables inside. What stood out the most was the freshness of the food. Everything looked vibrant and delicious. We got durian coconut, cream Oreo, ube and mango! read more

This was a refreshing and delicious treat after a few hours of shopping at the UTC Mall. We ordered the Mango Puree Coconut and the Mango River. Both were equally delicious .The Mango Purée Coconut was like coconut puddling with chunks of sweet mango . And the Mango River was all mango chucks , puree with sago. It's $9.99 each, not cheap but they are in glass containers that you can reuse and repurpose. They also packaged them to go nicely in the resealable red bag. Happy I tried this place and now I'm hooked. read more

First time here. At first I thought the pricing was overwhelming, but it was delicious. I think the price point accommodates the pricing and the packaging. Paying for the glass container and fresh fruit. I think the people who work there are knowledgeable and friendly. Clean environment with no weird smell. The downside, I will say the mango I got was room temp. I wish I was cold and it would have elevated my dessert more. read more

Was looking for a replacement to the Hui Lau Shan which closed in Kearny Mesa last year. They still have one in Irvine but too far of a drive. Unfortunately the coconut mousse/cream was a miss. It tasted too much like a pina colada to me and I didn't enjoy it. One more sad thing to add was they were out of spoons so we had to go to an ice cream place to buy some ice cream to get some spoons. Doh! Don't think I will come back here any time soon. read more

Love going to Melo Melo when we are at UTC. There is usually a line, sometimes longer than others, but the staff is awesome and the wait is never too long. The store is very bright, open, and welcoming inside as well. There are plenty of options from the plain coconut to various toppings. I think my favorite has been just the plain and simple coconut melo melo and the coffee melo melo. My daughter loves the options with the fresh fruit (strawberries or dragon fruit usually are her go to if not plain). They are all so light and refreshing and you feel like you are eating something indulgent yet not too bad for you if that makes sense. They have three sizes in most, single, double, and triple. Prices range but I believe they are all under $10 and they are packed in these awesome glass mason jars (which are great for reuse at home). read more

We love their dessert BUT the last time we had it one of the jar tasted sour. For that price point they need to make sure it's super fresh. Disappointing! read more

I ordered the coconut mango dessert, and it was delicious -- creamy with a jello-like texture rather than pudding, which I actually prefer. If you like coconut milk, this is definitely for you. Great service too! I'll definitely be coming back. read more

MeloMelo is SO good and SO refreshing. If you love coconut it's a must try. They make many different flavors but if you want the coconut flavor to stand out, the double coconut is the best option. The other flavors tend to overpower the natural taste of the coconut milk and coconut jelly. They are a bit pricy but I think you can recycle the glass jars back to the shop for free MeloMelo or I keep them to use at home, so it's a win win. read more

This is located next to the movie theatre at UTC. We ordered t the counter and the young man behind the counter was very helpful. Bought 3 items and the 3rd item was 50% off. This is a dessert that's very good. It's not too sweet but tastes very good read more

COCONUT JELLY PUDDING DESSERT (5 stars + meteor shower + Starlinks) Uhm WOW! This "slaps" and someone can slap my face because it was "giving". This is leveling up on the coconut game! I did not expect this dessert to taste the way it did! Also, didn't expect the price to be that high either but will say it was worth every jiggle and slurp. First and foremost... this was the most delicate, creamiest, and silkiest coconut jelly/pudding dessert that has ever entered my mouth. It was so soft and jiggly - the slurp was almost like a gulp/sip. BANANA NUTELLA COCONUT ($12.99) - milk, coconut milk, coconut water, Nutella, banana. OK, this was the one that truly spun my heart. I love banana flavored things and so I had to have this one. And best paired with Nutella! Let me say, the banana is not a typical Chiquita banana... it's more like the saba bananas (or plantains). The texture is cooked down almost to mush but still keeping a little bit of shape. Now imagine the combination of silky creamy slurpable coconut jelly, Nutella, and that banana all in a small jar of heavily goodness. HIGHLY RECOMMEND SUNSET MANGO COCONUT ($9.99) - milk, coconut milk, coconut water, fresh mango, blood glutinous rice. The texture had me on this one - the mango and the rice, especially the rice giving this texture some character. Yummy and flavor is predicable to what you imagine it's going to taste like. It you want to be safe - this is that choice. RECOMMEND If I could afford to eat this on a daily, I would! Until the next review.... read more

Such a goodd coconut pudding spot. There was a buy 2, get 1 free deal so we got the taro, espresso, and regular mango melomelo. The taro (9/10) was sooo good. I can really taste the taro flavor, and it's not too sweet so I was able to finish it. it's only here for a limited time so you should definitely get it!! The espresso (8/10) is VERY coffee tasting. I'm not a big fan of coffee flavor but my friend loved it. read more

Saw this on instagram for a while and always wanted to try it. Store is cute and clean and there was no one when I went on a weekday afternoon. There's close to 20 flavors in stock. The mango coconut is a top seller so I got it. The coconut jelly is super soft it almost just falls off my spoon and the mangos are super sweet. For $10 a piece I think it's worth trying since it's delicious but not something I would buy regularly. read more

Tried out this place on a nice sunny day. I ordered the mango river and it was really yummy! It's like a mango sago treat. It's really good but super pricey for the size of this thing. I think it's because you also get to keep the jars, but overall the dessert isn't anything special for $10 per jar. It was refreshing but again, just really expensive in my opinion. read more

I think MeloMelo has the best tasting & best textured coconut jelly that I've ever tried. It's super silky, smooth, and light so it's a great refreshing dessert to have when you want something sweet but not too heavy. They offer a huge variety of flavors with fresh ingredients. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because of how expensive each little jar is. The regular sized jars are $11 or $14 depending on the toppings, and the small jar is $10 (you may as well get the larger size). You do get to keep the nice glass jars and re-purpose them for other things, and the to go packaging is really nice (ready for gift giving). I will still swing by on occasion, but this is definitely more like a special treat than a go to dessert spot. read more

Finally got a chance to stop by here with my friend! This shop is located inside the UTC mall, super clean and modern. Staff greeted us immediately and we felt very welcomed. We took our coconut jelly to go and they packaged them in these adorable durable containers. Can definitely repurpose the jars. The price is a little on the higher side (~$13) but might be due to the glass containers. I got the pistachio rose and it was 5/5. Very flavorful and a good balance without the rose overpowering the coconut jelly. I would appreciate more pistachio flavoring though. My friend got the dragonfruit and it was 4/5. She said it the fruit was a bit bland. Both of us loved the coconut jelly though! Super silky and smooth. Would definitely recommend trying if you're in the area ! read more

I tried the double coconut and strawberry. It was both really good. It was like $10 a pop, so it is on a slightly expensive side. So I kept it in my fridge and I was taking a bite after every meal for next 3 days. It does say on the lid, it don't contain no preservatives so I should eat it asap. But it was so good and expensive, I kept on rationing it over time. Unlike many other places that has coconut desserts,it was not overwhelmingly sweet. I liked it because I get to enjoy the quality of the ingredient itself. read more
