Was recommended to this cute place by a friend! Right outside of John Wayne, there's this tucked away plaza with a bunch of food places, and Chewie and Mallow was right inside. The cafe itself has you order at the front, and there is a small, but cutely decorated seating area that leads down a hallway. (No bathrooms by the way, so you will have to go elsewhere if looking for that). I saw that they had a promo for a free milk pudding, and I tried to register for an account, and my friends and I ordered enough to make the cutoff, but then the guy at the register said that the account had to be another day old before I could use that promo sadly. We ordered the strawberry milk mochi, the mango tango, and the mango pomelo sago milk. All of these were delicious, and I really liked the smoothness of the mochi in my strawberry drink compared to 3cat's mochi. Drinks came out decently fast, and overall good service. Would come again next time I drop by the airport! read more

Chewie & Mellow - Strawberry Milk Mochi, Mango Pomelo Sago Milk Pudding, Mango Tango - Desserts Near Me - Irvine, California

My favorite place for hongkong style milk pudding. Locates in a big plaza with plenty of parking. Both of the Mango & Mango Pomelo Sago (杨枝甘露) Milk Pudding is very tasty, it balances between the sweetness, creaminess of the pudding and the tartness of the topping. Will return to try their bowl. read more

Came here on a mission for the Coconut Revolution... and yeah, it revolted by not being on the menu . Audible called and landed on the seasonal watermelon coconut--and honestly, no regrets. This place hits that perfect "treat yourself" lane. The drink was super refreshing, nicely sweet, and loaded with that fun chewy texture that makes you feel like you're eating and drinking at the same time. You can customize sugar and ingredients, but I rolled with the standard and it was dialed in just right. On a hot Irvine day, this was exactly what I needed...a little pep in the step, a little sugar happiness, and a solid excuse to slow down for 10 minutes. Located in one of those busy Michelson shopping centers where parking feels like a competitive sport, but worth the effort once you've got a cup in hand. Bottom line for me: fun spot, great flavors, and a solid mood booster when life (or traffic) starts testing you. read more

So delicious!! This is the cutest dessert shop. Lots of cute trinkets and stuffies on the walls. They have a good selection of drinks, dessert bowls and Hong Kong pudding. I love their white peach Hong Kong pudding. The pudding is not too sweet - just perfect. The toppings for the white peach one is so fun. It's like little pieces of peach in a ball. It's super refreshing. The desserts come out pretty fast after you order on the kiosk. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program! As a welcome gift, there are many discounts including free pudding when you spend $15. read more

Just happened to be at the center and stumbled across this cute fun place! The sign out front caught my eye, so I decided to try one. Then, decided to get two. (Hahah!) When the guy saw I spent over $15, he told me I get an ADDITIONAL one for free!! OMGGG... So here I am with 3 perishable items all to myself. Thinking back, I should have given one to a passerby, but I just thought of that right now. I would have really made someone's day! They were all delicious. I was actually able to just take a taste of all three and they made it home to save for later. My favorite being the Korean milk pudding. The toppings that came on the White Peach flavor was similar to popping boba, but even more fun and crunchy! The pudding reminded me of Melo Melo. Very refreshing and not too sweet. - Mochi Matcha Bowl - White Peach Milk Pudding - Mango Coconut Mochi Drink I was able to get the Mango Coconut Mochi Drink with ZERO SUGAR!! Guilt free and still amazing! Win-Win-Win! read more

What a cute little dessert shop! I've only been here once, a few years ago, but trying it this time was like a whole new experience. Something I do remember about them is that they have the cutest decor inside that's great for photo opts. Ordering is super easy with the kiosk out front, and it takes about 10 minutes for the order to be ready. I got the mango milk pudding and the tropical mango bowl. The mango milk pudding was probably my favorite of the two! The mango on this one tasted sweeter, and the milk pudding was also slightly sweet making it mesh well. The tropical mango bowl was filled with slightly unripe mango, sago, jelly, purple rice, crystal boba, and mango pudding. It was a little underwhelming, and even with the added side milk that they give, it doesn't add much taste. read more

Came across this place after stopping by the food court and so glad I got some milk pudding cups to go! Brought it home and put it in the fridge for the next day and it was still so good and fresh!! I got mango and taro, super tasty. Not too sweet, fresh and creamy milk pudding so addicting! Service is excellent, order on iPad and it came out so fast! Ambiance is very cute cafe , lots of decor and trinkets. Definitely coming back!! read more

Need a cute Asian dessert date? Chewie & Mellow is probably one of the cutest and most Instagrammable dessert spots in OC. We're huge mango lovers, so we had to go all-in on mango everything: Mango Tango, Sweet Tofu with Mango, Tropical Mango Bowl, and Mango Milk Pudding The Cantonese-style milk pudding was hands down the best ! smooth, creamy, and not overly sweet IG: socalhkfoodies read more

Chewie & Mellow is a cute Chinese dessert shop located in a nice plaza in Irvine. They serve drinks, dessert bowls, and Hong Kong milk pudding. We ordered a Pandan Bliss Bowl and a Strawberry Milk Mochi. Absolutely loved both, not too sweet at all, the flavors were on point, and the dessert comes packaged super conveniently for takeout. There's some tables off to the side of the shop, good for sitting for a short duration but not the best for large groups. Also adored the cute displays they had going on here. Highly recommend giving this place a shot! read more

This was a cute little shop to visit with refreshing desserts! The person taking it order didn't go too in depth about their menu, but then again we didn't ask too much. So not much to complain shot. My parents really enjoyed their drinks, and my dessert was good, but I'm not sure I'd order it again. I'd love to give other menu items a shot! Especially with such cute decorations and refreshing food items for hot days like when I visited. read more

Ok this place is underrated. If you like Chinese desert or boba tea, this is the place to try. Selection is plenty, lots of interesting combinations I don't see in many places. Ingredients are fresh and they definitely take their time to make it perfect for their customers. Their tofu pudding is definitely their best dessert but that taro purple rice bowl though is so good. Their hawthorn fruit drink is superb. Definitely a must try! read more

This is such a cute place I couldn't stop taking pictures! The coconut pudding is really reasonably priced, and the coconut flavor was very strong and delicious. There's a good variety of toppings for all of the coconut dessert, desserts and I'm already planning on going back to try some of the other flavors. It's a pretty small café, but they do have a row of seating along one side of the restaurant so you can definitely find a spot to sit with a friend or two. There's a lot of really good places in this mini mall so parking can get crowded quickly but other than that everything about this particular dessert shop was excellent! read more

Very cutely decorated interior with pink seats, bear decor, wall of toys you can buy. One worker but can order at kiosks or with worker. Worker answered any questions we had about the drinks and service was pretty good, but we were also one of the only customers Peach princess bowl was good for the price (~$9) considering how many toppings you get and its not too sweet. Milk pudding (~$6) is the best by far. It is very smooth, rich, creamy, and milky pudding. Would highly recommend anyone try it I would come back here just for the pudding read more

|[ c o o l ]| 3.5 stars rounded up. Cute lil shop, I do like that there's a 'no added sugar' option! I tried the grass jelly medley which was pretty good! I can tell there was still sugary syrup in it but prob not as much as it would be if I didn't indicate no added sugar. So imo the sweetness was more than enough without it added. Was still great the next day since I didn't finish it. Pretty filling. |[ n o t e s ]| Interior was small, a lot of cutesy decor and a photo op, and an ordering kiosk. They sell blind boxes I believe. What bothered me though was that since there were outdoor seating/waiting outside for neighboring businesses that the smell of cigarettes bled into the shop. :/ Hope they'll take that into consideration and maybe close the door next time? Parking lot out front. Service- minimal interaction since we used kiosk! read more

I've been on the hunt for a red bean/coconut dessert. I will start by saying the interior of this is super cute and has some great photo op areas. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well. Unfortunately, I did not love the Red Bean Hong Kong Milk Pudding. A lot of places usually have the pudding in a glass or plastic jar and this came in a cardboard container. The texture and sweetness of the red bean was lacking. If I were to come back I would likely try one of the drinks instead. read more

Super shady. I was going to scan to get a free drink or milk pudding. The cashier told me she would register me and quickly did so before I read the directions. She took my order and told me no free drink/milk pudding dessert. I was confused. You have to spend $15 before tax. I wish she explained it before quickly registering and taking my order. She wasn't sorry at all. Seemed she had done this before. This happened around 1:28pm on 3/13/26. First time and not coming back. read more

nice decor inside, although it might be too small for an actually study spot but if it's not too crowded then i'm sure it'll work!! i got the barley mochi milk and mango mochi milk and both were SCRUMPTIOUS. I cant recommend it enough. it's not too sweet so if you prefer your drink a little on the sweeter side you should request that. the servers were more than friendly . They explained everything for us when we were confused about the drinks. definitely will be back! read more

Went on a Monday night and got the Tropical Mango. The workers there were really helpful and gave us a few recommendations. They do have very limited seating on the side as well. FOOD - Got the Tropical Mango that includes Mango Pudding, Purple Rice, Sago, Mango Jelly, Mango chunks, coconut jelly, and coconut milk. The portion was smaller than I expected but it was really good. The mango pudding really goes well with the different toppings. PARKING - There were a lot of parking that are shared among many different stores. They do have a limit of 90 minutes. Parking was really easy to find. OVERALL - great experience, would def come again! read more

Chewie & Mellow - Tropical Mango Bowltropical - Desserts Near Me - Irvine, California

Great place to pick up some unique asian desserts! Came here on a Sunday night and there was no line, but a steady number of people stopping by for drinks + desserts. ~the food~ - Peach Princess (~$10): This dessert bowl had a peach pudding base with a bunch of fun toppings like water chestnut filled popping boba, agar boba, milk pudding, etc. I really liked the peach pudding flavor, it didn't taste artificial and was not too sweet! I love that you can adjust the sweetness level of the bowl, we opted for 50% and it was just perfect! I think the only thing was that we were expecting the bowl to be cold, but it was room temperature. Maybe that's how their dessert bowls are support to be lol I think I would still prefer it cold, since the flavors were giving refreshing peach. However, we still really enjoyed it! ~parking~ Parking wasn't too tough, but there is a pretty popular ramen place + food hall in the same plaza, so parking might be a bit challenging for peak weekend dinner time. ~overall~ Super cute decor, a great casual place to pick up some nice desserts! read more

Such a cute dessert shop! It's located in a plaza south of the 405 with ample parking. I have yet to try their drinks, but love their Hong Kong milk puddings. I first sampled their desserts at the Tustin Farmers Market and have been craving it often! The milk pudding is so silky and mildly sweet that pairs perfectly with mango or taro. Everything is made to order and much more affordable than its competitors. It's the perfect snack or dessert after a meal that doesn't feel too heavy! read more

Came to Chewie & Mellow for a light dessert fix and was really impressed! I ordered the Hawthorn Strawberry Fruit Juice and the Tropical Mango Bowl with extra taro ball topping. The Hawthorn Strawberry Fruit Juice was super refreshing - a nice tangy blend of hawthorn and fresh strawberry that felt healthy and invigorating without being overly sugary. The Tropical Mango Bowl was the highlight: creamy mango base with chewy textures, and adding the taro balls made it even better with that perfect QQ bounce. Everything was not too sweet at all, just the right level of natural fruit flavor that left me feeling satisfied but not weighed down. read more

Such a cute dessert shop that also sells blind boxes!! The decor was absolutely adorable. We got the pandan paradise bowl, and it was filled with refreshing pandan jelly, red bean, agar boba, coconut jelly, and mochi. While the jelly was chilled, everything else was more room temperature. We got 50% sweetness, but ideally 75% or 100% would have been better as the pandan jelly wasn't as sweet as what we were accustomed to. Overall, great dessert spot with reasonable pricing (~10$ for the bowl) read more

Desserts are good. Drinks are good. Mango Milk Pudding is good. But if you're coming at 9:50 when they say it's closed at 10, they won't serve you. You guys should change your yelp page to say 9:50, not 10. We drove 30 mins to get this only to be rejected. All we wanted was milk pudding, guys. read more

Service was top notch but I think this isn't my kind of dessert. The guy was so nice & informative since it was our first time. We should've ordered one & shared. Portions are really generous.
