    Taro Yuan House Special
    Raul B.

    not! too! sweet! the drinks at taro yuan are the definition of not too sweet! i tried their Taro Yuan House Special, which was a taro smoothie with taro balls. They use real taro here, not the artificially bright purple (but begrudgingly tasty) powder that's common at many boba stores. The taro flavor is super mild, smooth, and earthy. The drink was definitely not too sweet which I enjoyed, but I found that the taro flavor was a bit too mild; I wish there was a bit more of that taro paste swirl they had on the side of the cup. The interior was super cutesy and pink which was fun, and the service was great! The cashier was kind and didn't hesitate to offer recommendations. Overall, the drink didn't blow me out of the water, but a good change in pace if you're looking for a light sweet treat!

    I stopped by Taro Yuan for some dessert that wasn't too sweet. The desserts are similar to MeetFresh with a stronger emphasis on taro toppings! I customized my own grass jelly dessert with taro paste, taro balls, mini taro balls, and red bean. The dessert melted pretty fast and there wasn't a strong taro taste that I was expecting. Keep in mind, this was during their soft opening, so maybe the quality has changed!

    The drinks were really good and came out fast! I ordered at the Kiosk but I ask led the person at the register a few questions and they answered it very nicely! I got the Taro Yuan House Special which is like a taro smoothie and it wasn't that sweet! The place is average size and it wasn't too loud and as there wasn't a lot of people. Would come back!

    I came to the soft opening and it was very spacious with bright lights. This is right next to the boiling crab to go. Plenty of parking on the weekdays. The service was amazing: the host greeted us with glee and let us know some of the signature items. I went for the grass jelly with taro balls and grass jelly trio mix. All were refreshing and tasty. And not too sweet. Perfect to eat. Definitely come check it out when it first open!

    Good service. Good drink. Ive alway love meetfresh and wanted to find a place like that closer to the house. Im glad i tried it here. Very yummy. Love the real taro

    House hot grass jelly soup

    Came in on a Thursday afternoon and it was empty. The shop was clean and super cute. There are plenty of tables to sit and eat. The girls that were working there were so nice. I really wanted grass jelly dessert so I ordered the house hot grass jelly soup to go. I didn't order their drinks because it seems like there were quite a few reviews that their milk tea isn't great. The taro balls were delicious and chewy. Boba was good but could have slightly less chew (not bad but just a personal preference). Grass jelly had great flavor, not as intense as grass jelly you would find in Taiwan or Hong Kong but good enough! So happy to have an alternative to meet fresh. Also they gave me 10% off because they are having a special promo for March. Definitely going back next time to enjoy some of their other desserts with some friends.

    I get the hype! Airoma Cafe constantly ranks high on the list of best matcha spots in Southern…read moreCalifornia. The cafe is cute with a small number of interior tables. They are located in the same plaza as Brodard, Vox Kitchen, Rol Handbar, etc. in Fountain Valley. This location is open later than the other Airoma. They use ceremonial matcha which makes a huge difference. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte (74% sweet) after trying one previously in LA. I paid and waited for my order to be ready. After a few minutes, I received my order. I shook it up and tried it. Delicious! Even better than I remembered. My husband who doesn't usually enjoy matcha, tried it and liked it. He does not dig the earthy taste, but this drink changed his perspective. Airoma made my husband a believer in matcha. We do not usually go out too often for matcha, but when I'm in the mood next, this place will be a must visit. I'll have to try their egg coffee in the future too.

    Let me tell you of this da Vien coffee shop at a new location in garden grove (for me, I'm sure…read morethis has been around for over a year or 2). Located next to AR market, it is a large interior with lots of lighting due to glass walls for half the store. I was a bit weary of da vien considering I couldn't sleep after trying their egg coffee at their bolsa location (I know Vietnamese coffee is famous for their caffeine that sneaks up on you due to the sweetness of their coffee (being Vietnamese myself) but not at this level). However, the manager or owner of the bolsa location did reach out to me to make it right after my critique. Going here is a night and day experience! Let me tell you of the tastiest coffee that rivals Starbucks... and I still got ample sleep! I got their marble drip coffee. I ordered mine with "50% sweetness and less caffeine." The moment it flowed through the straw and hit my tongue, it was the smoothest, creamiest most tasty coffee I ever had. Perfect amount of sweetness and a kick of caffeine, I was so amazed!! Their customer service here is nice and polite at the counter but that's pretty much it. They have a touch screen kiosk to also order on the side. When I came, there were 4 people ahead of me but the wait time wasn't that long thanks to the above things. I would definitely come here again. I would never guess to give a Vietnamese coffee establishment the highest rating on yelp considering my caffeine sensitivity but this is it!

Parking is ok, but can be a bit hectic sometimes!

Vibe: Summerfield is a staple in Garden Grove for friends to chat at or students to do some homework in.The place is very clean and has its really nice charm to it. There's plenty of natural lighting, despite being somewhat tucked away at the ground floor of a complex with other businesses in the same complex. The interior space and the two outdoor patios are really nice and roomy. Food & Drinks: I got a MIso Crunch Platter for ~$15, and the value for this was really great. The salad was very filling especially because it came with a lot of popcorn chicken, almonds, fried crisps, salad green mix, and a mildly spicy dressing. The combo also comes with a milk two of your choice (which I believe there were only two options, if I'm not mistaken). The Wintermelon Milk Tea at regular sweetness is really sweet in my opinion, so for folks that like their drinks to taste more of a beverage instead of a dessert I'd recommend starting at at 50% sweetness. I'd recommend bringing your own water since the store policy bars staff members from refilling customer-brought water containers (e.g., Hydroflasks and Owalas), and their water cup is really tiny and almost only the size of a standard shotglass. Work-Friendliness: Lots of outlets and very stable wi-fi! There's also tons of seating, both indoor and outdoor. The shop has music they play, but it's not too loud to the point that you can't focus, or put headphones on to listen to your own music. There's a lot of seating options for you to choose from. Getting There: The parking lot immediately next to it doesn't quite get busy, so driving there is an option. If it does get filled up, however, street parking is pretty easy since the shop is at a complex immediately neighboring suburbs. Public transit doesn't seem like it would be ideal. Service: Really kind staff and very patient. Going back to their water refill policy: Christine kept helping me out very patiently with water refills even though I kept coming back for what felt like the 50th time. Christine always assisted me with a smile on her face, which didn't make me feel like a burden at all. Big shout out to you diva

This quaint cafe has a lot of seating, and even some with outlets. You order with the cashier and then seat yourself. Service could be friendlier. Since it was my first time I was looking at the menu and their staff kept asking me questions and I felt pressured to make a decision. They did make recommendations but it wasn't anything I liked. I disclosed up front I wanted the labubu topping, and they said a drink was required. No problem. I was going to get a drink anyways. Honestly I would have gotten more stuff in general if the service was better. I ordered the Cereal Flakes Milk Tea ($7) and added the Labubu Jelly ($2.50?). For their characters, I am told they all taste the same. It looks like they use molds, but a lot of the execution is sloppy and the colors get mixed over to different sections. I would pay more for a better executed character. Okay, I had all my stuff with me and talked about outlets because I was clearly enjoying my purchase for here... tell me why... this young man decided to package everything up in togo packaging and then he even put my labubu in a separate container, and there was no space for me to throw the topping on. THIS REALLY DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF MY VISIT. Also I gave them back all the togo materials cause I felt like that was wasteful. Anyways, I liked the drink. Don't think it tastes like a cereal drink... but oh well. The taste was good, but it needs a different name. The labubu jelly was overly gelatinous. I know it's a formula balance with the ingredients when using these molds so it comes out, and lasts, but I feel like this could be a little silkier. Enjoy the gimmick. I really didn't expect much coming here. Just for laughs and some photos. I would come back if my niece wants to check it out... but I hope their customer service improves during future visits.
