What a good impression she left me with this store definitely will go back again ! They use all fresh fruit and cane sugar no preservatives and it's not even that sweet it's Asian sweet . Everything is based on fresh coconut the meat, water and the milk ! Love this place it does get busy later and especially on weekends , there are few outdoors seatings , most people just grab and go . Got the triple coconut and a durian coconut, the triple coconut is in a whole coconut with coconut with all the goodies so light and refreshingly delicious! Of course Durian is never a disappointment ! #melomelo

8/2/26 Would you believe this Melo Melo run is instigated by Hubby? A-yup!! I got dressed as…read morequickly as possible and we were on a quest for Melo Melo! I was just here yesterday & at 4 pm they were sold out of my favorite, Triple Coconut (the entire coconut filled with coconut jelly & coconut pudding with its own coconut meat) I love scraping it off once I eat the goodies. There's nothing like eating dessert that brings back childhood memories, except it's better in this rendition. Lo & behold, they have 3 Triple Coconut even at this late hour (10:40 pm). Hubby wanted the Triple Coconut, too, & 2 more Double Coconut. I also ordered one with mango puree. I learned that the coconut pudding is made at another location and the ones they sell at this location that has fruit added, these staff cut the fruit and add to the bottle. So the recipe is unknown to the staff. Best kept secret, I suppose. Believe me, I tried to copy and I have yet to achieve success. The shop is modern & clean. The staff are super friendly. Parking is free and could get challenging at peak hours due to shared among many businesses at this Diamond Plaza in Rowland Heights. Glad it's open late (11 pm), the one near us, Sam Gabriel closes at 10 pm. I'm so glad we made a dash coz we got 3 of the last Triple Coconut!

SHAVED ICE REVIEW…read more You have two options. Both are matcha shaved ice with scoop of red beans, 2 pillowy soft mochi balls and a cute chestnut... but one has ice cream and the other only condensed milk. I got the one with ice cream and my God it was the most creamiest delicious vanilla soft serve! Mixing the melted ice cream w/ the matcha ice creates a refreshing drink at the end. If you're sharing this I advise you add extra mochi balls because you're going to want your own lol.

There's something about a delicious matcha soft serve that just closes out a meal perfectly, and…read moreCafe Maiko nails it every single visit. Initially, the shop doesn't scream out anything other than grab-and-go, but the taste and quality go MUCH deeper. The matcha flavor is exactly where it should be: genuine, but not so intense that it overwhelms you. It's the kind of balance that's more difficult than it sounds, and they've just got it. Smooth, creamy, and clean-tasting from start to finish. Whether it's in a cup or on a cone, it is also extremely customizable, as you can add any topics you would like. And for what you're paying, the portion is generous. No complaints there. Honestly, it doesn't need much more of a pitch than that it's a really, really good matcha soft serve. Simple as that. Whether you're wrapping up dinner nearby, having grabbed a bit to eat next door, or making a dessert run, Cafe Maiko is worth the visit. The shop is also located within a plaza, so you'll find parking. There are also chairs/tables outside, so you can bask in the fresh air while enjoying your soft serve. Highly recommended! A++!

This place is such a cute ice cream parlor. You don't find those anymore. When my family and I…read morevisited, we were greeted so warmly by a couple of young guys. They were so helpful. They let me know all the different desserts and options. They also explained pricing and availability to me. They showed me all the different toppings that they have for not just ice cream and sundaes, but crêpes as well. Considering I walked in here, thinking that this was strictly an ice cream place, they have a very large menu. One thing that I remember very fondly about my visit here was not that there were a lot of people here, but the people that were dining in, they were mostly families with children. That may not seem like an important thing, but to me, seeing that is precious More often than not, you see children, their parents, and even their parents parents. So sometimes you get a small group of people, but really you have three generations. Quality time like that is absolutely precious and to see them so engaged in conversation with one another and laughing the entire time and sharing dessert, that was so awesome. Sharing ice cream with my dad at an ice cream parlor near our home is a very fond memory for me. So I guess that's why I paid attention to this while we died at scoop Street. When I took a moment to take a step back and look at our little family, we also were there in our lil three generational group: me, my kiddo & my Mom. The prices here are more than reasonable. The ice cream that is used for their desserts is from thrifty. The waffle cones are made in house and smell amazing. There really wasn't anything more than I could've asked of this visit to the ice cream shop. This was so special. Servers: Art & Austin

They have all sorts of different options - funnel cake, cookie sundaes, brownie sundaes, cookie ice cream sandwiches, deep fried oreos, etc. Everything is made fresh - i saw balls of cookie dough, my funnel cake was fried right there, and so were the oreos. The portions are generous. My favorite thing was the oreos. Im not wild about thrifty ice cream which is why i got funnel cake, but i guess i just...wasnt that into it.

I usually tend…read moreto talk directly to the people, but this is now the second time I've walked into ice cream chef I had the worst experience possible. A few years ago I came in and the person working the front was extremely rude to me. Let me know I contact with me, didn't greet me, we had to get their attention and when we did, they gave attitude. I ended up walking out and they're not purchasing anything. Years ago when they first opened, I used to work in one of the nearby shops and people that were so kind and reall I used to genuinely care about and support this business, but the customer service has steadily declined. Today, I walked in with my service animal. As soon as we entered, he lay down because it was extremely hot outside. Like most dogs, he was curious about the smells around him, but he remained calm and under control. The employees at the front asked whether he was a service animal, and I told them that he was. While I was trying to place my order on the tablet, no one offered to help me. My dog walked a few steps away from me while still attached to his leash. There were no other customers in the shop. One of the employees told me that if my dog continued to pull against the leash, she would have to ask me to leave. After noticing my reaction, she quietly added that I could leave him outside. I simply replied, "No, thank you," and walked out. I understand the importance of maintaining health and safety standards and following company policies, but the way this situation was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. My dog was not bothering anyone, and there wasn't a single customer in the store. Businesses should also understand that service animals are protected under the law and generally cannot be excluded simply because they are present. A service animal must be under the handler's control, but asking someone to leave under these circumstances was disappointing. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.

I've doordashed their taro yuan house special drink and various taiyaki a shameful amount of times…read more(to the chagrin of my personal finances). I never really have to go to that plaza, but maybe someday I will lol. The taro yuan house special drink is one of my favorites. The boba like taro pieces, the not too sweet yet very refreshing flavor, and fresh taro (not powdered) makes this such a special treat. If you are looking for something sweeter, the Nutella taiyaki is so good. The other flavors are okay in my opinion (I've had fresh red bean desserts in Hong Kong that blow their red bean out of the water). But I could just be nitpicking. My wallet needs me to take a break from this place, but give it a try!

Any of the T-Swirls actually are worth going to, I wish there was one in the Bay Area. I may be hyping it up because I personally like it so much. Ordering is easy, there are two kiosks and then you get your crepe within 5 minutes. I always order the Matcha Chocolate Truffles crepe. My boyfriend and family members have ordered other ones. Everyone generally likes the crepes they ordered. I like how the crepe is super crispy and the ingredients in it is like a party in my mouth. I have yet to try a crepe like the Matcha Chocolate Truffles! Can't wait to come back during my next SoCal trip.

Delicious and filling, but long wait…read more.. Been a while since I came here. This is at least my second time ordering from here. Somehow I always end up ordering a savory crepe. The first time I got something with imitation crab and it was so flavorful! Egg White Mushroom Ttruffle (savory crepe) ($10 pre tax) + $1.50 to add avocado Everything was very fresh and made to order. There is a bit of tangy/vinegar taste from the sauce they added which worked well with the rest of the flavors. Spinach was nice and fresh, can taste the natural flavors of the mushrooms. The egg whites were cooked/pan fried with beautifully crispy edges. Inside is not bad. There are some tables and seats and some cute decorations. If you're in a hurry, don't order here, especially if it's a savory crepe. Two orders after me with sweet crepes were ready before mine was ready...I waited 20 minutes. Only two staff members were there to prepare food and drinks. There are two kiosks for placing orders. They now have $4.99 mini crepes from 12-5pm daily, but they only had a few to choose from, none of which are savory crepes. Lots of parking spaces in the plaza. Love the food (5 stars), but just minus one star for the wait.

I say, "what does that mean??" He said they can only make 1 of my 3 drinks and i would have to choose 2 more that are not blended. I tell him to give me a dew minutes, i then proceed to request 2 new drinks... he then tells me they are out of boba. ‍‍‍ At this point i told him to just give me 2 random drinks. I am not going to sit there all night only to be told they are out of stuff or their machines are not working. One blender? I mean if this is your bread and butter, i would suggest getting a 2nd blender, even if it's a crappy one from Walmart for $35. This is like a hamburger stand telling you they don't have a grill to make a burger. Also, out of boba on a Tuesday (off night??) Stock up. Who's doing inventory? I was more angry at the fact that they let over 30 minutes go by and didn't tell me via email or phone call that the blender was down. I would canceled my order and promptly received a refund... i hope. I wasn't offered any kind of remedy. No partial refund, no refund, no extra drinks. Just your kinda outta luck. We don't have the proper tools to make you a drink. I will never return here again. I used to like this place and even used to come here when they offered 3 drinks for the price of 2. After spending $20 on 3 drinks (2 of them not even being my choice). I will forever skip this place for the humongous disappointment and terrible service. There are boba places all around this area. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.
