This Taiwanese dessert spot is located at the Promenade outside portion of the Santa Anita Mall They're open daily and hours are: - Sun-Thurs - 11am-8pm - Fri & Sat - 11am-10pm Parking was ok since there are plenty of parking spots but can be challenging, especially on the weekends. Ordering was easy and convenient since they have 2 kiosks to self-order. However, they seem fairly busy so it would be nice if there were more than just 2 kiosks since I noticed some customers take their time. The menu had an impressive variety of drinks and all kinds of desserts (e.g.shaved ice, tofu pudding, egg waffle, etc.) Pricing was a bit pricey and most items were $10+. However, the portions were very generous! Inside had plenty of seating and very spacious. I enjoyed the sink station, as well as the water refill station next to it. The Double Taro Signature ($12) consisted of grass jelly, taro balls, taro paste, and ice cream. The presentation could have been better but it's not a big deal! The taro paste was very delicious and fresh! However, I wish it was blended better since it literally felt and tasted like huge chunks of taro mixed together. The taro balls were very chewy but didn't have much of a taro flavor. The grass jelly was ok but a tad bitter so that was my least favorite item. The ice cream was just regular vanilla ice cream so nothing special. The Original QQ Mochi Egg Waffle ($4.99) was so yummy! It was so similar to the ones I had in Hong Kong! It was so crispy and fresh! I got it without chocolate chips so I received $2 discount. It was just the right amount of sweetness. I enjoyed how almost every piece had soft and chewy mochi inside. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and the dessert was so good so I'll definitely return and recommend! read more

This Meet Fresh location appears smaller than other branches. Parking may be difficult because it is located inside the Santa Anita Mall. Customer service is okay. I ordered Egg Waffles to go and it came in a paper bag that was soaking wet. They didn't appear too friendly when we asked for utensils for our other items so I didn't want to ask them for a new bag. Their Kiosks is frustrating to navigate because it doesn't recognize your phone number to locate your membership. This happened to three other customers so it wasn't just an user error. Overall, store was clean. I'll probably skip this location and head to the one in Temple City if I ever crave for anything at Meet Fresh. read more

Excellent dessert place. Love to stop here every time when in the area. Love the egg waffle read more

This location is always super busy on weekends/holidays, so expect a wait if you come at those times. I went on a Wednesday weekday evening yesterday with my husband, and it was completely empty. They have two kiosks at the front for ordering. We always get the icy grass jelly signature, and yesterday we got some additional boba on top because my mother-in-law loves the unique textures. I wish they served it in a reusable bowl like at the other locations so that the toppings wouldn't spill out the edge while eating, but this location probably does a lot of to-go and they gave it to us in a cute disposable bowl. The drinks at the location sometimes tend to be a lot sweeter, but overall the desserts are pretty consistent tastewise with other locations. Staff is nice and efficient, and there is an adequate amount of seating (but you can always bring it outside to eat if there are no tables available on a busier day). read more

I really like their taro balls and hot grass jelly with boba. This location inside a mall, which is much easier to park, so I often stop by while I'm shopping. The portions are very generous, and everything is always served hot and fresh. So delicious, this is my favorite Taiwanese dessert shop. read more

Ahhh self ordering kiosk requires you to have a phone number or meet fresh account. Took me awhile to create one but it was fast. Ordered the Nikke mini red bean soup half sweet and it comes with a lot of toppings! Worth my price. Free sticker too! But i think since they put all those toppings my red bean was cold. Perfect sweetness for me who is quite scared of sweetness. Ordered another original red bean soup on the side and that was hot and tasty. read more

The boba Thai tea was really good as always but customer service is bad here. They make you use a kiosk to order and then take 15-20 mins for your order to come out and to top it off they ask for tip. They need more man power to speed up order fulfillments. read more

Meet Fresh - Thai tea with boba - Desserts Near Me - Arcadia, California

When my friends and I were at the Santa Anita Shops, we needed tea. Like our bodies were so parched the dehydration felt deadly! Thank goodness for Meet Fresh being at this outdoor mall. I'm always going back to basics with my simple teas without any frills. I like a good brew on ice, in particular green tea is my jam. They tons of dessert items which I am sure I will one day try, but their Jasmine Green Tea? Lovely floral kick to my usual icy goodness. My friends also got varying milk teas and herbal teas -n we were all happy with what we got. Plus with just getting drinks it didn't take too long! I'd definitely go back to Meet Fresh. read more

This branch of the Meet Fresh chain is in the former Westfield Mall, now The Shops at Santa Anita. There is a large shared lot which does get full at peak hours such as after work on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. However, you can almost always get a parking if you park further away. The shop is located outside on the upper level. The shop has limited seating and can get very full. They have traditional Taiwanese boba drinks, shaved ice, and grass jelly items. The shaved ice has more traditional Taiwanese items as well as a few more western style choices. You order at a kiosk and they call your number. The do not accept cash. The seating is fairly well maintained, but can be sticky. Seats are pretty close together. Overall, better parking than other locations and shorter lines as well. Worth a visit. read more

Meet Fresh - Strawberry and mango shaved ice with ice cream - Desserts Near Me - Arcadia, California

Constantly disappointed at this location. Ordering through the kiosks can be frustrating as their menu is extensive, so when customers don't know what they want, it creates a huge backlog and unnecessary line. Food is pretty decent and was in the mood for their bubble waffles. Today was especially irritating. Their counter specifically says "Do not interrupt staff, as they are fulfilling orders. Use kiosk". But after I waited over 5min for the kiosk, the counter girl helps the people behind me with their order. Service 0/5 stars. Spend your money elsewhere. There are other options at better quality and prices. read more

I absolutely love Meet Fresh and always loved their quality and service, but I am so incredibly disappointed by their quality today. I rarely write reviews under 4 stars. Meet Fresh was known to have the "healthier alternative" desserts. I would always look forward to enjoying their dessert in their ceramic bowls but now all I get is a luke-warm dessert in a small paper bowl. Here's What I got: HOT Red Bean Signature: ‣ [6/10] ‣ Dish came out luke-warm (it's NEVER came out like this before) ‣ Toppings are good ‣ Dish came out with separated layers I am so disappointed that one of my once favorite dessert spots is decreasing in quality. read more

i got to try their lemon winter melon tea at the HITC festival, and it was super refreshing! it had the perfect balance of sweet and sour

Ordered your drink from the kiosk. They have great selections and customizable. The drinks came out fast and my ice cup dessert is my favorite. I choose normal ice but it barely has any ice and the cup is filled up with the jelly and boba. Lovely. However, I couldn't stand the flies there. I don't mean one or two flies but a LOT!. Got to walked out and eat outside because it's annoying and kind of gross. Hope they can figured out how to tackle the issue. Beside that everything is great. read more

Meet Fresh has been a staple for years. I usually skip the drinks, but the shaved ice and grass jelly desserts are my favorites. One issue I often have with shaved ice is that toward the end, it just becomes plain ice, but that isn't the case with Meet Fresh because of the ice cream and generous amount of condensed milk. The toppings were also on point, though I do wish there had been more Q Mochi as I only got 2 pieces. read more

So this place does have tons of unique options for shaved iced combined with boba, different jellies, puddings etc. which I have not seen before! We got the signature ice grass jelly and it wasn't very good in my opinion, it just tasted flavorless and it was just too much chewy jelly stuff for me and not enough shaved ice. We also got the caramel pudding milk tea. This was better but again not the best. The flavor of the milk tea was good I just wasn't liking the flavor of the pudding! Service wise they seemed nice, they were able to explain to us what some of the things were since it was our first time. You can order at a kiosk which is faster although this place was not packed. Inside they have tons of seating and tables, and there are tables outside as well. It's located at a huge mall! Overall I like the unique food options it has, I just didn't like what I ordered. I will probably come back to try something different! read more

Tried this place for the first time last night. Not bad. They were really busy. Took a long time to receive our order. The dining area feels like your typical dessert or fast food place. The Thai tea is good. Ordering is slightly different from the posted menu but once you figure it out it's not so bad. The shaved ice was a little more corse than I expected. I thought it was going to be like a soft snow but was more like a snow cone. But the flavors were there! Overall a good (not great) experience and I would recommend giving it a try for sure! We'll be back. Hopefully when not so busy next time. read more

Meet Fresh - Desserts Near Me - Arcadia, California

This is the Meet Fresh location in the Santa Anita Mall whatever they're calling it now. It is located in the promenade section of the mall and it is a great addition to that area. There are a lot of great selections of dessert and drink items here. For the drinks typically I'll got a winter melon tea or even the hot almond tea is very good as well. They are most known for their grass jelly items here but there's also a wide array of other items too. Depending on the weather that's when I got the iced or the hot grass jelly. There is a decent amount of seating inside the store. The store is shaped weird but it works. The line is towards the front of the store and the staff is very quick at putting orders through. Then you're handed a buzzer and once that goes off you can go and pick up from the counter. Sometimes they're running promotions but it's almost always not a decent promotion and it feels disingenuous to even have it at all. Anyway, this isn't the store's fault. But if you're looking for desserts and you're in the Arcadia mall, be sure to stop in! read more

Ran to the mall to get something. I wanted something cold to drink. I had points with meet fresh. Ordered online. The app said it would text when done. IT DIDN'T! Estimated time was 10 mins. I was waiting outside 15 minutes before I went inside to ask. Sure enough, it was sitting in the counter. I didn't want to just grab it, so I waited for the girl behind the counter. Her head was down, looking at her phone or something. I waited for her to look up. It took her literally a minute before she looked. Got my drink and went back outside. Since the drink was sitting so long, the honeycomb already melted. Didn't look anything like the picture on the website. With so many other coffee/tea/dessert shoppes in the mall, this won't be the first place I think of. read more

I love grass jelly and I was craving it. My first time at this location. We ordered through the machines and we got the signature grass jelly and added additional rice balls. They had a special, $2.99 for a small portion of egg waffles if we order $10 or more. Of course that's not a problem because one order of their dessert is usually over $10. We got the orders, but some disappointments. They forgot to add the rice balls for us until we asked them about it! Also, even we were dining in they used paper cups which is okay but obviously the cup is smaller than the bowls they used to use. So the portions are smaller than before. But the dessert still tastes good and consistent. Their egg waffles were surprisingly good because I tried it at another location and it wasn't good. This location made it very good! Ambiance was just okay here, kind of small and there was a bit of a weird smell when I went in. Felt like the ventilation wasn't too good. read more

Meet Fresh - signature grass jelly. $2.99 egg waffles special when you order more than $10. - Desserts Near Me - Arcadia, California

The promenade has so many selection of stores selling beverages and handcrafted drinks, but it's been a while since I've had meet fresh. It was a Sunday afternoon and we entered the place, although there were plenty of people, it wasn't as busy. We used their ordering kiosk to place a drink order, there's so much to choose from but I really wanted just a cold milk tea. I think I tried looking for the boba milk tea but I only saw milk tea and you can pick toppings (extra $) to add so I gave up. I got the receipt from the kiosk and went to a table to wait. There are plenty of tables to sit, the store stretches pretty long and ends near the entrance into the mall. We just sat at the nearest table next to the entrance. Since you order using your phone number, it'll send you a text once your order is ready. The staff will also call out your order number once it's ready for pick up at the counter. But, I got the text once we left the place though. The drink was great, half sweet, less ice, good tea flavor (not strong though), and pretty satisfying. Next time I'll try ordering it with boba. They also have snacks and appetizers to order, but I just wanted a drink for now and might come back for food later. read more

Great Taiwanese style desserts featuring shaved ice, grass jelly, ice cream and mochi. The desserts feature more naturally sweet ingredients so may not be appetizing to everyone. The portions are bigger than I thought and quite hefty. They have plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. Lots of different dessert and drink options. read more

Meet Fresh Arcadia, located upstairs in the mall, may be smaller than other locations, but it delivers the same great quality. The desserts are just as refreshing and well-made--classic herbal jelly, taro balls, and tofu pudding all hit the mark. Service is quick, and the space, while limited, is clean and comfortable enough for a casual hangout. If you're craving Meet Fresh, this compact spot still gets the job done right. read more

So we needed to find a study spot at Santa Anita Mall. Our 3 must-haves: outlets, free WiFi, and a restroom. Meet Fresh looked perfect, big sign on the door promising outlets + free WiFi, and every single table had a "FREE WIFI" sticker. Sold. We ordered drinks, sat down, and then... no WiFi. The stickers were everywhere, but no password in sight. We asked the staff, and one of them started rummaging through drawers before suggesting we scan the QR code on the table. Spoiler: the QR code just makes you download the Meet Fresh app. He looked as confused as we were. Another worker finally told us, "Oh, we don't have free WiFi." ...Then WHY advertise it on literally every surface?? ‍ On top of that, my jasmine tea was way too sweet, it tasted more like syrup than tea. Overall, not a great study spot, and definitely not the place if you're looking for WiFi. read more

A mixed experience at this establishment. Although I typically get consistently positive service here, I recently went here and ordered a fresh milk/herbal jelly drink with mini taro ball add on. Unfortunately I was given the larger sized taro balls, which made the drink almost undrinkable given the size. I attribute this mostly to language barriers between staff and customers, as I tried clarifying my order in person using English. read more

Icy Taro Ball 2 - (3/5) I enjoyed some of the toppings such as the red bean and taro balls. The shaved ice is not the best consistency and flavor but is just okay. It wasn't bad. The dessert overall is just okay, it was still enjoyable but not the best shaved ice I've ever had. To order, you either do it yourself at the two kiosks available or go up to the register and order from staff themselves. The desserts don't take long to come out either. It's pretty packed and you may or may not find a seat. The place isn't huge but it seems very clean and nicely decorated. read more

We placed the order on the self served kiosk when you enter the establishment, it's to the left. The printer is not aligned properly so make sure to look at the receipt for your number. They also ask for your phone number so they also text you when the drinks are ready. I got a mango black tea and the milk tea with brown sugar boba. The drinks here are pretty good, not too sweet. Oh you can also customize the drinks as well. They have some seatings available inside but we took ours to go and sipped while we enjoyed the outdoor. read more
