Looking at the menu, it took forever to order because everything looked really good. I ended up going with their popcorn chicken entree which was the perfect balance of greens, protein and carbs from their purple rice. Chicken was pretty standard for popcorn chicken but tasted hot and fresh. Their miso salmon and peppercorn ribeye steak looked really good too. I tried their sweet peach drink too which was good too, a bit sugary but was fine. I was co-working and it was honestly a great spot to just relax, eat, drink some boba and get some work done. With free Wifi, bathroom, it just was a comfortable spot and it wasn't too busy in there that it distracted us. I would most definitely come back if I was in the area and I really am intrigued about their desserts.

Both workers didn't really try to assist or say something until you come up to the register to tell them you are ready to go order. Maybe a little tip for workers that maybe they should ask the people if they have any questions or something they could help. I felt that some sort of training can be nice to workers. The inside is very spacious as what I remember few years back. But it seems like they have less options as before. I gave this a 3 star for maybe have more hospitality training for being FOH.

We were looking for a good shaved ice place and decided to give this spot a try…read more The place was very clean, nice, and welcoming, and the shaved ice was fresh, fluffy, and beautifully presented. We tried the strawberry and mango flavors, and both were refreshing and enjoyable. Overall, we had a good experience, although I think there is still room to make the flavors and toppings a little more special and unique. With a few improvements, this place could be amazing!

I went with the tiramisu flavor. Midway through my bingsu, I realized they may have used the wrong base in mine. I think they mistakenly used pistachio instead of coffee! The employee apologized, which was totally not a big deal, but I do worry if anyone has specific food allergies, and if the labeling was a problem. Other than that, I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and how clean the place was!

As a basic vanilla and chocolate lover, I always opt for the Original Cream Puff shell with Vanilla cream - I feel like this one tastes more creamier than the chocolate one, but chocolate is good too! My boyfriend loves ordering the different flavored shells, but tbh, the shells are a little too much for me aka too sweet (ex: raspberry chocolate shell, Oreo shell, etc.) and not necessary to enjoy their cream puffs. If I could have a dream dessert at my wedding (or just in general), it would be infinite Beard Papa's!!!

I Came in to buy some Sonny angels originally but then realized I had some rewards to use for my next purchase. While I was waiting in line, a customer went straight to the cashier and got tended. I loudly asked the staff behind the register where did the line begin and they pointed out right where I was standing. I said "then why isn't she in the back?" One of the employees looked at me and said "ohhh..." then continued to ignore me and continued to tend the customer. I let it go since I was two people away. Once it's my turn to get two my yummy cream puffs, I expressed I had rewards and wanted to use them (I chose the in-person option). The cashier told me I could only use them online through the app. Mind you I was using the app in fact. She then called another employee (youngster Asian girl) and they seemed confused and unsure on what to do. They kept telling me I could only use my rewards online so I asked "then why did it ask me to choose to use them in person or online?" I could see one the young girl manually waiving it and they charged me. I let it go. Once I finished my desert, I decided I wanted to buy one more trinket so I got in line again and got tended to pay. As I was saying thank you, the young Asian girl, rudely tells me to use the online reward option on the app next time that way she doesn't have to deal with all of that and doesn't contradict the managers rules. She says she doesn't know how to app works but to use it online regardless so I don't make it harder on them. I got pretty upset and disappointed at this statement as I shouldn't be told what to do if I am being asked options on the app itself. This is something Beard papas should be improving and training their employees on when team meetings happen. Not tell customers in a very unprofessional and rude way on what to do. Yikes

I got mine without the soft serve, which is probably why I thought this place was mid lol. I can see how mixing the shaved ice with ice cream would be good. The mochi topping was average.

BOGO Icy Grass Jelly Signature 9/23-25…read more I have mixed feelings and struggle with the Irvine store. It's at a convenient location and near other eats we frequent, but it is probably one of the most run down Meet Fresh locations we've been to in SoCal. The booth chairs are peeling, there's an unrepaired leak in the ceiling. The bathroom fan is broken so it's stuffy and gross, and the floor is constantly wet. It's hard to believe Irvine Company would allow them to operate in this condition. Furthermore, they do not enforce the Health and Safety code by allowing non-service dogs. Onto their signature grass jelly which is their flagship offering and one we fell in love with when they first opened over 12 years ago. BOGO made the inflated price a lot easier to swallow. We had it twice this week and the last day was not so good. Since it was Friday and with the BOGO offer, it was crazy busy, but we got our food pretty quickly by ordering online. Today's serving was 15% less than their normal serving. The worst part was the grass jelly was noticeably bitter and I'm not sure if that was a good thing. Also, the shaved ice wasn't from grass jelly, it was herbal syrup poured over regular shaved ice as you could tell the texture, consistency, and taste were different. I also watched them make it this way. Halfway through my bowl, I noticed white caking parts in the grass jelly, and we've never seen that before. When I asked the staff, she said it was normal because they're going through grass jelly batches more quickly due to the promo. I was dubious and she offered to make another, which was nice of her.

Although it is a tiny place, they are very friendly folks. If no one is at the front and you see a man with his back to you, feel free to say a little "hi" or "excuse me", and he will call a woman out from the back. I have had their taiyaki before with various filling options and they are pretty standard. However, I have yet to try their savory ones like the new pizza flavor, so I definitely will be returning for that. Another time, I went rather early and I got a medium bag of their walnut pastries (which was a hit with my coworkers - will be returning for more one day). Both taiyaki and walnut pastries are made fresh when ordered, so please be patient with with them. Just a bit of information for those who are not aware, both taiyaki and the walnut pastry use the same/similar pancake-like batter for the outside. Taiyaki (shaped like a fish) can have whatever filling option they listed on their menu, while the walnut pastry (shaped like a walnut) has a traditional sweet red bean filling with large chunks of walnut (probably a single walnut but broke to chunks when added). Both of these are great when fresh, soft, and warm; however, you can also toast up leftovers in an air fryer to give it a bit of a crisp surface. I know there is an online version through other platforms, but the prices are much higher than in-person. I have not asked if there is a call-in option, but I hope there is since I do not always have much time to wait for a fresh batch - will have to ask next time. Overall, it is a nice little place for a treat (for yourself or to share) and I will definitely be coming back.
