Meet Fresh is perhaps the top destination for not-too-sweet desserts in the Valley, and the Thai…read moretea series in September actually has me dreaming of coming back. I ordered the iced Thai Milk Tea Tofu dessert, really just expecting some silken tofu with Thai tea syrup on top. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of toppings it came with -- chewy boba, sago, and "potaro balls" that were made with taro or sweet potato dough and filled with black sesame. The tofu was also incredibly soft for a contrasting texture. All of it was placed in the perfect amount of actual Thai milk tea. So sad it'll be gone soon, but it makes me more inspired to try other tofu desserts on their menu :') Beyond the specials, I'm a huge fan of their iced grass jelly dessert (so refreshing!), which come with a delightful mix of textures. They also have hot desserts, like red bean soup, that are actually rare to find in-state. Pretty much all the main desserts comes in a shareable size. Lots of parking, easy kiosk ordering, and so much seating in a clean environment. Will be back!

It doesn't matter how often you come, I feel like you'll never run out of something new to try. I ordered a fluffy matcha smoothie and it came to $12.67. That does account for an extra $2 since I wanted to be a big back and get condensed milk and taro in addition. I'm not sure I'd come regularly for the boba as it's definitely pricier. There's booth seating and also a few tables to sit at. It's quite spacious for a boba shop.

I was in the mood for snacking and therefore, looking for a boba spot with more than popcorn chicken. Their seasonal hot honey fries caught my eye as I was scrolling through recent menu photos and in we went. They were out of the calamari, and the staff was friendly in cautioning us that the snacks may take a while since there's one fryer and luckily, we weren't in a hurry. We ending up ordering the following: - Jasmine Milk Tea with aloe vera - was quite disappointed to have the aloe vera super mushy. I would have switched it out if I had tried it in stores before leaving. - Fried Shrimp - this was pretty salty to the point I could barely finish these - Hot Honey Fries - seasoning was superb and would come back alone for this! - Popcorn chicken - okay, not much breading to it and therefore, not too crispy, but the sauces helped There is a smile/satisfaction guarantee, and perhaps we should've tried everything before leaving, but that's moreso on us wanting to go home. Unfortunately, phone did not eat first so not much photos taken.

However, I was the only one there. I ordered the Strawberry Lemonade with their signature green boba. I didn't know Tastea was known for its green boba until now, so I was excited to try it. The drink itself was decent, but the boba was too chewy and tasted like it might have been sitting for a while. Oh well, I don't think I will be back.

The lines can be long but they are quite fast! After ordering I waited at a table that I luckily found. It was busy and there is not much seating available. I was able to see all the food get prepared and people called up for their orders. Once I got my order of a taro milk slush, angus short ribs crepe, and strawberry banana nutella crepe, I went to sit outside. It's nice that they have that option for more seating. There was nothing special about the strawberry nutella crepe as expected, but the angus short ribs crepe stole the show. It was incredible and a good portion. They come in a really cute cone holding as well. They have togo baggies that are the shape of the cone which is thoughtful as well. The taro milk slush was really good as well. Overall it was a great place and I would recommend trying it at least once!

We were very excited for this place to open, as it highlighted vegan options!…read more The vegan options were limited. Vanilla and coffee flavor. The 2 sorbets were good as well. They labeled what items are vegan on the toppings but I noticed some items that are vegan were not labeled vegan. So that's a little confusing. It was $19 before tip. A little steep but it was good. We probably won't be able to come regularly. They had a sour raspberry sorbet but it was not vegan. Not sure why they add milk to it. I hope more vegan options soon. The staff was friendly. Everything was stocked and clean. It was busy. No outdoor seating.

We ordered the Cookies and Cream soft serve in a cup ($4.50) with crushed toppings and macarons, along with an order of two Taiyaki's ($4.95), both filled with nutella. I've visited few Somisomi locations before. The consistency of the soft serve is very smooth, but the highlight of the menu for me is the nutella filled Taiyaki. It was fresh & hot and it definitely balances the cold soft serve. I could also eat the Taiyaki on it's own. My main critique is that the soft serve flavor is very subtle and a bit too mild for my taste. I could barely taste any Cookies and Cream flavor beyond the toppings that were added. If it wasn't for the Taiyaki, I would not order the soft serve on it's own. I'd be open to giving Somisomi another try. True rating would be a 3.5 Visited 5/11/26
