    Matcha and mango passionfruit
    Vivien L.

    Incredible light dessert. I appreciate they add calories next to each shaved ice. My group tried the matcha and mango passionfruit, and I loved the matcha more. Mango passionfruit was tart. Definitely coming back to try the same thing or new menu items.

    Spring Seasonal Flavor: Jasmine Green Tea Shaved Ice
    Delilah S.

    I parked across the street to visit Trader Joe's and remembered I had been wanting to try Mewame! When I walked in, the space was moody and clean. The staff member was kind and friendly as well as patient when it came to me trying to decide which flavor to try. I chose the Spring Seasonal Flavor which happened to be Jasmine Green Tea and it was incredibly delicious. Sweet, fragrant, and light. It made for a perfect blend that was refreshing and smooth. I thought the texture of the shaved ice was really interesting and melted in a soft serve way. Overall, highly recommend. Absolutely worth a try for vegans and non-dairy people alike.

    Matcha

    Came here with a friend for a post meal dessert. Street parking on Santa Monica is tough (and metered!) but there is free street parking on the side street this is located on if you're good to walk a bit. Seating is exclusively indoors and its limited BUT mewame is right next to a small outdoor park where you can take your dessert to-go and eat at! Matcha shaved ice 4.5/5, this was delicious and I would definitely would come again! It's more of a traditionally bitter green tea tasting matcha flavor and the hints of coconut throughout add some sweetness. Each portion is big enough to share for two!

    A small cute spot located in a little shopping plaza! There's a retail parking lot that does 1 hour of free parking (and maybe free parking in general on the weekends? not super sure). They do vegan shaved ice and also drinks, but I mainly came for the shaved ice. They have both coconut and oat based flavors for the shaved ice, and I got their seasonal honeydew pandan flavor which has a coconut base. The coconut makes it soooo much more creamy than regular shaved ice. Like it feels rich and creamy yet light and airy at the same time! There was a strong melon flavor as well that was not overshadowed by the baseline coconut flavor. The coconut cream and small cookie on top were fun too. Everything gets made quickly and the staff are really friendly.

    Matcha and jasmine tea
    Tiffany M.

    So far only tried the matcha flavor but I loved it. Will definitely be back to try other flavors. Service was great! The girl at the front was friendly and our order was done quick. Really loved how the matcha was not very sweet which balanced out well with the sweet cream on top. This spot is small and cute, really enjoyed coming here with friends.

    Yummy dessert spot tucked away in a plaza between weho/hollywood. The flavors are delicate and subtly sweet. My friend and I tried the spring seasonal flavor Jasmine Green Tea Shaved Ice and Cashew Coconut. The texture is super fluffy and light, I haven't tried this style of dessert before! Parking is easy in the underground free lot, and the shop is beautiful and feels super new and clean. Our server was super helpful and patient too.

    Mango Passionfruit & Houjicha bingsoo
    Erin T.

    Tried out this bingsoo place when craving it, and was also intrigued that it was fully vegan. The interior of the space was super nice and cute. Very clean and modern. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a nice place to study, hang out, or catch up with friends. Service was friendly, and I thought it was nice that they brought the bingsoo directly to our table. Parking on a Thursday night wasn't too bad with street parking available, though I'm not sure if there are other better options. My friends and I tried the Mango Passionfruit and the Houjicha bingsoo. The shaved ice was really soft and delicious. Flavor-wise, they were decent, but the mango passionfruit was much more tart than I would have expected and preferred, and I found myself wishing the houjicha flavor was a bit stronger and bitmore pronounced. Overall, it's a pretty nice spot for a quick sweet treat. I'd come back to try other flavors if I happened to be in the area, but probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    Mango passion fruit
    Ash B.

    Was looking for something, sweet, filling but not heavy. The mango passion fruit shaved ice hit the spot. It was so smooth and creamy and absolutely delicious. Every few bites my friend and I were saying how good it was. I also got the mango pineapple smoothie. It leaned a little heavy on the banana but was good was well!

    Matcha shaved ice cream
    Sam R.

    I came here as a treat after having a scary medical exam done, and it was the perfect pick me up. Not as thick as gelato/ice cream but thicker than other shaved ice I've tried, it was a pretty unique textural dessert. They have lots of flavors but we tried strawberry (coconut based) and matcha (oat based). The strawberry one tasted like strawberry milk to me, a little more sweet and creamy than I'd expect, but the matcha one was soooo good. It tasted just like a matcha Einspänner, and I know I'll be craving this come summer. The service was also great - the attendant took his time explaining everything to us and was very intentional in the display of the dessert. Pro tip: just park in the Trader Joe's lot off pointsettia, it's free parking for an hour without any validation needed. I would definitely return for the matcha shaved ice alone!

    Mango and Matcha shaved ice
    Dannielle G.

    Mewame is a small shop nestled almost hidden away around the corner/in a shopping mall. The shaved ice was much creamier than anticipated but it was so flavorful. The matcha was a fan favorite among our group and almost had a chocolate flavor to it. Seating was casual and comfortable for a quick sweet treat. There is also structure for free parking attached to the building which was very convenient.

    Mango Passion Fruit (coconut base) Shaved Ice
    Tiffany P.

    Guilt-free desserts? Say less, I'm omw! I'm talking about a vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, and artificial junk-free menu with zero compromise on flavor and quality. My Matcha Shaved Ice was fluffy and not-too-sweet, just the way I like it. The worker said the mango passion fruit and cashew coconut have been the top sellers, so I guess I'll have to come back to try those :) The simplicity and cleanliness of the shop gave us a refreshing break from the usual LA chaos. Swing by for a well-balanced and light snack!

    Update: Absolutely love the new spring flavor: Jasmine Green Tea Shaved Ice!! Felt as if I was sitting under a flower tree at a chill picnic hangout with friends. Came after lunch on Sunday around 2PM. I love how light & approachable this shaved ice is! You know when you /have to/ commit to eating dessert in LA.. there's plenty of dessert spots are either filling, food coma inducing, really sweet or quite large like they are making a big statement? Well this is one of those rare breed of where they do it quality, light & tasty shaved ice. This isn't your bingsoo or your halo halo kind of spot. The owner apparently upgraded his Hojicha drink and that's why it taste soooo much better than the basic Hojicha you taste at other places. This is that relaxed light dessert you CAN have after a medium to heavy meal. The staff here are nice, polite and do a quality job presenting these delights.

    Mango Passion Fruit (top left), cashew coconut (bottom), and hongsi - persimmon (top right)
    Aiko K.

    I have yet to find a shaved ice place I like in LA. Our favorite was called Wicked Snow in Dallas, we absolutely don't understand the hype for Oakobing and was hoping Mewame would hit the spot but it didn't quite do it for us. - Mango Passion Fruit: it was just tart. Which the employee did let us know it was going to be tart but I couldn't really distinguish the flavors well. It was a bit more passion fruit-y than mango. It wasn't bad but most of us (me, my fiancé and 4 of our friends) eventually got tired of the flavor - Hongsi: I just... didn't get any flavor. I know even the persimmon fruit itself won't be sweet unless it's completely ripe but this one just didn't stand out at all - Cashew Coconut: surprisingly everyone's favorite. It was light, but creamy and actually tasted the coconut flavor. If we were to go back, we'd get this again Maybe we just need to try their other flavors but we're not rushing to go back unfortunately. There's metered street parking available and if you're going to the TJs in the same area, you should be able to get your parking validated. Service was nice thought! Would give this 3.5 starts and possible re-visit in the future

I was listening to some music by the clock tower and needed a shake to quench my palate. I like NEEDED it lolz! A few places have them at the Farmers Market but I want to always support the indepedent, old school spots so popped over to Bennett's. I went with a Cookies-n-Cream milkshake which ran me just under $15. Sticker shock startled me a bit but I had high hopes for an amazing milkshake. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty but it was too milky without any lumps or ice cream bigger bits in it as I was hoping for! This is probably just personal preference but I prefer my milkshakes with some texture. My friend had the butter pecan and didn't love it. The coffee flavor sounds delicious though! Overall, good shake but it wasn't my ideal! I still will go back to try other things from the menu though as they have some very cool flavors offered!

The Original Farmers Market was a little overwhelming, I had decision-paralysis figuring out what I wanted for dessert! After walking around a while, I settled on Bennett's Ice Cream and it all-in-all, it was ok. It was a Saturday, around 2:00pm, when I walked up to the counter on the side to place my order. I had a hankering for custard but after my experience, I wish I would've gotten a couple scoops of the hard ice cream, or, gone somewhere else for custard. A young man took, made my order but I need to be honest, he looked miserable and made me feel like I was inconveniencing him, but at least he was quick. The cash register is at the front counter so once you've paid, you're right in the melee of people at the Original Farmers Market. I ordered a medium twist custard in a bowl but, to me, it seemed like I got a small as I was charged for a "single scoop" cone. I went with the bowl instead of a cone as I thought that would be cleaner - I was wrong. When the young man was filling the small bowl, the custard was a bit lopsided and hanged to the side and quickly started melting. I ended up wearing quite a bit of my custard. Now, was the custard good? Yeah, it was very creamy, great flavor! When it comes to prices, the quality is high but the portion I got was small, and looking at what I paid, that was too much for what I got. Bennett's Ice Cream is a mainstay at the Original Famers Market, and the quality is good, but the customer service and portion sizes need improvement. If I were to come back to the Original Farmers Market, I'd probably look elsewhere for custard, but I'd be willing try Bennett's hard ice cream.

Line is usually long at any Bacio di Latte, but we got lucky and line was not out the door at least not as of yet at the time. They had several staff members attending to the customers which is always a good thing. The young gentleman who helped us was okay... he wasn't the most smiliest. I think he was annoyed I was taking photos and holding up the line LOL. Even though I have been to other Bacio's, I still like to try the same flavors sometimes just in case they are somehow different in taste due to location. I tried a few free sample flavors. I ended up with half Liana's Shortcake and half Torta Paradise. Both were very good and delightful. Very smooth. Unfortunately, the gelato was on the softer side. It was already melting by the time I exited the shop. It was a warm day, but still, not while I'm still inside the shop. I don't like melty gelato. I prefer they are a bit firmer in texture. Hence, 3 stars! One small gripe, very limited seating inside. No restrooms available. It's just a grab n go gelato spot. Nevertheless, I will always be back to Bacio di Latte wherever they are. Thanks for amazing gelato! Just don't serve melty ones.
