My first time try Meet Fresh Brown Sugar Boba milk tea. Tips: using mobile app and order online so you can skip the line during a busy weekend. This location located at the Arcadia mall. Packed during weekend. I got my drink pretty quick cause I ordered ahead. I was a bit disappointed to see the drink. It doesn't look right. Looks like HK milk tea not brown sugar boba milk tea. I got the regularly sweetness, OMG it almost choke me. Sweet to a different level. Avoid regular sweet if you can. Drink doesn't taste good either, too sweet and I don't taste any tea flavor in it. Inside is super busy but there are outdoor seating areas you can sit. read more

This is the strawberry shaved ice when I JUST got it, the strawberries aren't fresh they're super syrupy and this was $16. SO NOT WORTH IT save your money!!! Way better places in the same area for cheaper. -update- I emailed them like they requested below and have not heard back lol read more

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

Food: Meet fresh used to be one of my favorite dessert places in China. You could actually taste the taro in the taro balls. But I don't like how the taro balls here in the US just taste like boba - only chewy and feels like they're made from powder. Even the rice balls taste exactly like boba. All the texture are very similar and have no layers. But the red bean soup base is decent and the taro itself is great. Price: it's very pricey. A red bean soup combo comes out to $10+ without adding anything. Service and ambiance: not much service. It's pretty much self serve: you get your own water and pick up your food when it's ready. The place is cute with seating available. It's usually packed. read more

7/20/25 - Very terrible service from this location. No cashiers wanting to help place order and was directed to do it through the kiosk. Had trouble inputting my order. Only received 2/3 orders. Tried to call their number to address my missing 3rd order for a week straight. Mailbox is full and no other contact information to reach them. I cannot physically go in person since I live out of state. Filed a dispute with my bank to get my refund back. I will not be a returning customer for this location. read more

Highly recommend that you order on the app 20 mins prior to picking up (for any order - even a simple drink will take 20 mins). Their pudding milk tea has been my go to! Perfectly sweetened with an abundant amount of pudding and grass jelly. So tasty and so refreshing! Too bad I usually visit the mall in late afternoon... and I can't have the whole drink without sabotaging my sleep schedule for the night. Skip the egg waffles - they are harrrrrrd and tasted super stale despite being freshly made. read more

Meet Fresh - Pudding milk tea yum - Desserts Near Me - Arcadia, California

They have above average egg waffle. Besides egg waffle, tofu dessert is our favorite too. I like big variety of dessert, hot and cold. Seasonal items keep the menu refreshed. It's probably the only Asian dessert restaurant in the tri valley. Service is either a hit or miss. The dining area is always clean which I really appreciate. read more

I've never really cared for the type of desserts this place advertises but I've always seen long lines with this chain. Since my mom is a fan of the type of desserts this place offers, I decided to give it a shot. Our mistake was ordering the wrong items. My mom ordered the grass jelly signature based on the photo and didn't realize it didn't have taro in it. So, she was disappointed because of that. It was just okay and as the name states, there is a lot of grass jelly. I ordered my dad a boba milk tea when he actually wanted the boba cafe advertised on the screen only. The boba milk tea was standard and too sweet since I forgot to ask for sugar adjustment. The one thing I'd get again would be the herbal tea with milk. It was refreshing and the three of us actually enjoyed it. If I were to give this place another shot, I'd order accordingly but I was not convinced enough this visit to go again another time. read more

March 2023 Food/Pricing - Taro Tofu Pudding ($8) - Ordered it hot, it was a little warm at best. Expected it to be steaming hot. Tofu could be more silky but it was fine. Overall taste was good. Just wish it were hotter. Caramel Pudding Milk Tea ($6.25) - Pudding was yum but the milk tea itself tasted watered down. Service/Ambiance - Service was quick. I wish the almond drink was available all year round and not just certain months. I absolutely love that item and would come a lot more often if it was available for longer. Parking - Mall parking. read more

So disappointed with this chain. Used to go to the one in temple city and they got my order wrong.... Made the drive to the arcadia location only to find out my order was wrong again. I custom ordered a red bean soup and receievd a bowl of grass jelly. For some reason they don't pick up the phone even though it wasnt busy inside. I emailed corporate to get a refund and didn't hear back. read more

I've come here a couple of times and struggled to find which of the dessert combos would be my go-to order. Having gone several times now, I think I've found my order-- Icy Grass Jelly B. I'm a huge fan of taro and red bean so this combo worked perfectly for me. I rate this place a 5/5 solely for the desserts. I will say that the service can be a bit spotty, but I haven't had any bad encoutners so far. Most of the tables aren't wiped down as this place is always packed with customers seated inside. Also just a heads up, they only do cashless transactions! read more

Omg! I don't know why this place has bad reviews but I hope mine helps. I will say that ordering was awkward. The girl at the register stood there staring at me for a while until I broke the silence and asked if she was ready lol After that, she was cool and helpful. This was my first time here so I just picked something that looked good and was popular. I got the mochi and pudding shaved ice option. Sooooo good! Mochi, ice cream, caramel, two puddings, shaved ice and taro balls. I really enjoyed it. Definitely a sugar treat. But I don't eat like this often so it was a great treat! Definitely coming back to try other things. This place was clean and roomy. I even made a video for ig. I'll be posting it soon. Thanks for the first impression. See you guys soon. read more

Always great fresh desserts. #1 icy signature is a classic must buy. So good. Their drinks are great too, I like a plain milk tea with grass jelly, or herbal tea. Can't go wrong with the milk shaved ice either if you hear with a large party. read more

No dine-in. Only take out. Social distance doesn't exist when you are in line to take order and waiting for your order. If you are cautious and sensitive to be with people less than 6 ft due to COVID.. this is not the place you want to be. Ordered two drinks .. Lemon wintermelon drink - disappointed is my summary of my drink. I ordered this drink many times since it's my favorite during hot days.. this place.. wow.. where is the consistent quality for Meet Fresh?! Don't taste much lemon flavor.. it wasn't mix well. I tried to mix it but lemon flavor still not strong . 98% of the taste is wintermelon. Black sugar boba milk tea - it's alright. Boba is chewy.. I would said its more on the soft side.. if they cook for another 1 minute be too soft and won't have the chewy texture.. Not sure whats going on with the store.. AC is not on or is broken.. kitchen seems like it's flood with water... Not safe for employees to walk when there are tons of water.. read more

I've heard a lot of good things about Meat Fresh (the one located at Temple City), but I've never actually tried it. So, on Friday evening , We decided to give it a try. I'm surprised that there is no line at all. We placed our orders which is listed below. - The Taro Volcano Shave Ice: Perfect dessert for summer. It comes with a bunch of toppings of sweet deliciousness, including a pudding, which I like it very much. I kinda wish they put more toppings to match the shaved ice, because i ran out of toppings while eating my shave ice. - Herbal Tea w/ Fresh Milk: Definetely become one of my favorite drinks of all time. I usually stay away from "Herbal" label because I'm more like a milk tea guy. However, this Herbal tea is absolutely delish! Whenever I came back to this place I'll definetely get this drink. - Winter Melon Drink: I must say i'm a little biased when it comes to Winter Melon because I didn't like it. So I have to give it to you to decide whether its good or not. read more

This is a good place to grab some authentic Taiwanese desserts. It usually had a long queue prior to the pandemic. Now it's no dine-in. Only take out. I would usually get the Icy Grass Jelly Signature - Taro Balls, Grass Jelly Shaved Ice, Grass Jelly. With dine in, it came in a pretty decent sized bowl. For take out, the container was pretty small. read more

Meet Fresh is just so popular these days! I've come multiple times since LA reopening and I've tried their QQ milk tea and their taro shaved ice. Both are pretty good. The QQ milk tea has baby taro balls which were a little weird tasting (2/5 stars) but the taro shaved ice was really tasty and also came with ice cream and a good assortment of toppings! Order and pay at the kiosk - there's no more ordering with a cashier. Prices are pretty high so expect to pay about $5 for a drink and under $10 (including tax and tip) for a shaved ice or other dessert. Parking is ample in the underground parking lot and there's always plenty of tables even though it's pretty crowded. Their restrooms can be kind of messy/dirty and if they're really busy, the staff forgets to refill the water station (even if you ask them to 3x). Workers here can be a little mean or have attitude probably because they're understaffed or it's just so busy. read more

We wanted something refreshing after hot pot and also introducing some authentic Asian desserts to our friends so we decided to try something new here. Not sure if it's due to Covid, I find a lot of the desserts are not available such as the egg waffle. It's quite convenient to order through the iPads on the wall on the right side after you walk inside the front door. Don't mistaken by the people waiting outside. Most likely they have already ordered and just waiting for it outside. I kinda want to try the pudding shave ice but since there is no place to sit down, I ended up getting Strawberry slushy instead. It tasted really good and was exactly what I wanted after a spicy hot pot meal. It's pretty sweet and you can taste the fresh strawberries. My friend tried the taro slushy but unfortunately she didn't like it that much. She find the fresh taro texture a bit funny and was not used to that taste. Overall it was a good experience here. Hopefully once the store fully reopened we can come back to try more. read more

Meet Fresh - Strawberry slushy - Desserts Near Me - Arcadia, California

This place is so bomb! I always have to get it when I'm in Artesa/Arcadia area since they don't have one in Anaheim. I love the Taiwanese deserts they serve here especially the red bean with grass jelly! This last time I was here we tried the regular black milk tea, jasmine green tea and milk with grass jelly series and my favorite was the milk with grass jelly! I thought it was just a fancy way of saying milk tea with grass jelly but it's so refreshing especially on a very hot day. The drinks are pre sweetened but there is a small selection of brewed teas that you can adjust if you need to. They also serve snacks such as the waffles. It always smells so good when you walk in! I have yet to try them so that will probably be my next thing to try when I come back! read more

Love this Taiwanese dessert shop located at the 2nd outdoor promenade.

I recommend the shaved ice with grass jelly and the taro sweet potato balls. For drink, I love the black tea with taro paste. You can really taste the real taro not powder. They also have made to order egg waffle. Highly recommended. read more

I love coming to Meet Fresh whenever I am at Westfield Santa Anita Mall, and my wife is always a huge fan of the chain. We saw that Meet Fresh had a deal for $8.80 for one ube egg waffle with one drink, so we decided to take advantage of the deal while it lasted. We ordered an ube egg waffle and we paired it with a winter melon tea, 50% sweet. The winter melon tea was very refreshing on a hot summer day. The egg waffle was made to order, and quite flaky and delicious. We will definitely come back again to try other desserts. read more

AUTHENTIC TAIWANESE EXQUISITE DESSERTS FRESH NATURAL HEALTHFUL Meet Fresh lives up to its motto and delivers on their promise. Their strawberry shaved ice was layered with the freshest, perfectly ripened strawberries, house-made ice cream, sweetened condensed milk that was not too heavy. Prepared just right. Perhaps the tastiest I have tried. The oolong milk tea with fresh boba was another big hit. A smooth, refreshing milk tea drink with warm black sugar tapioca balls that remained chewy and did not harden even a couple hours later. A distinct difference in quality and freshness from other Taiwanese dessert shops I have tried made me an instant fan. It comes as no surprise that they use selected ingredients and traditional processes, including to make their soft taro balls and delicate herbal jelly desserts. Moreover, Meet Fresh prioritizes in serving authentic, healthy desserts without preservatives. I am sold! My new, clear choice for Taiwanese desserts and handcrafted boba drinks in the San Gabriel Valley. Solid tea and milk tea drinks. The shaved ice trays, in particular, are definitely a must-try! read more

Didn't know they opened a location in the mall, which is cool! We wanted drinks and headed there to order some drinks. We were next in line but both dudes at the front were helping to fix a previous order, so we waited a bit before they even took our order. We got three of the QQ wintermelon tea with boba and a mango slushee with lychee jelly. It took a little while to get our drinks - the service is a bit slow from the second we got in to the time we got our drinks. But we enjoyed our drinks and overall it was an ok experience. read more

Brought my parents here to try their brown sugar boba shaved ice after a day of shopping. The cashier made the recommendation for the flavor of shaved ice and it was delicious! We ordered the large, and it was served in two parts: the ice, and the toppings. The toppings container had the brown sugar syrup, red bean, and boba. All together it tasted so good and was a nice refreshing dessert. We went when it was busy, so it was a bit loud and the tables were a little dirty since we sat down right after another family left, but that's usually how it is so nothing against them at all, we just used a napkin to wipe down the table before sitting. Overall really great experience and food :) read more

I've been to the temple city location a number of times but this was my first time at this location. This place is always crowded and there is always a line, however it goes by pretty quick by the time you decide what to order. The cashier Dylan was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He was very nice and patient with me. He provided great customer service and served me with a smile. I would come back, especially if Dylan is the cashier. read more

I've come here three times now...once with my fiance to try something new and twice after to work since they had good plug-in areas to work from. The first time I came here, I was completely overwhelmed by the options they had to choose from. I was really unsure what I wanted to order, but with the guidance of the people that worked there, I was able to sample a few items that I'd never tried before. I ended up getting a mini mochi desert plate. It wasn't my favorite, but I definitely was a fan of their milk teas! On visit two, I kept it simple. Living in SGV, even if you didn't grow up with boba in your household, I can almost guarantee you've crossed paths with a boba drink at least once in your life. So, being the basic girl I am, I just ordered a milk tea with boba. Wifi was decent and charging stations were enough. On visit three, I came here to cowork with my colleague. I ended up accidentally leaving my charger at home for my laptop and was pretty upset when I got there, cause I knew I had only 10% of life left on my laptop. I was excited to see usb-c cords already plugged in for the public to use, but when I tried plugging in my laptop, none of the cords worked. I guess they're a third party charger, so it didn't charge the laptop. A+ for effort though, Meet Fresh! On this last visit I ordered a tofu, boba, sweet dessert thing (sorry guys, the name escapes me), and it was so delicious. Something about it reminded me of a dessert I used to eat as a child called Taho. It's very similar, and it made me a happy camper even though my laptop situation had started me off in a bad mood. I'd definitely come here again to have that dessert again! read more

Their business hours are inaccurate and ended up wasting my time and gas. Yelp, Google, and their own internal Meet Fresh app all state they close at 9pm. I tried to place an online order twice around 7:55pm and it wouldn't go through, so I figured they might be too busy to accept my order. I drive out and arrive at 8:15pm, only for them to be closed. The posted hours on their door are also inaccurate, as it states they close at 10pm. I understand there's a labor shortage alongside the pandemic, but you guys really should at least manage the store hours accurately. read more

MEET FRESH is located in the outdoor portion of Westfield Arcadia. It was a hot summer day when we visited so we tried to get drinks that will quench our thirst. FLUFFY GREEN TEA with BOBA and less sugar - That "fluffy" is so good. FLUFFY OOLONG TEA with BOBA and less sugar - I'm gonna be honest: I can't tell how good the oolong is because of the "fluff". BLACK TEA with less sugar - aaaahhhhh just right! There was a bit of a line to order. I'm not sure what's going on. And then they don't make your food until you order it, obviously, so you're going to have to wait just a tad bit more before you get your drink. While waiting, I got to see all the other goodies that they serve like the snow bowls topped with milk and fruit as well as the chicken wings. Looks yummy. They got my order right so that's a big plus. read more

First time trying shaved ice at this Meet Fresh location at the Arcadia mall. We were in the neighborhood to grab dessert from the 626 night market, but the crowds were huge and lines were long. Luckily Meet Fresh was still open even after the shops inside the mall were closed. It was a warm summer night, so we were looking for the perfect dessert to satisfy our sweet tooth. Walking by the outdoor seating area we saw a couple sharing a mountain of shaved ice. Next thing I know, I wanted that! And only that! The line wasn't too long since it moved pretty quickly. Make sure to grab the menu at the front counter since the wall menu has no prices. First time trying the Pudding & Q Mochi Milk shaved ice. It was also listed as one of their popular items on the menu. Once the order was ready I got the chance to carry the mountain of shaved ice. So delicate and perfectly crafted. It's was really good! I guess the only downer to this shaved ice dish was their mini taro balls and the jelly noodles(which I call worms- don't ask me why but you'll know what I mean when you see it). The glutinous rice flour toppings was a bit tasteless and not sweet. If you're tackling a mountain of shaved ice, this was the last thing you would eat. I really enjoyed the milk infused shaved ice part. Perfectly sweetened and crunchy texture. The almond and caramel pudding was nice. Q mochi which was new to me was great as well. Nice and soft with a light sweet flavor. Highly recommend giving the shaved ice a try. It's basically almost the price of buying 2 drinks here. read more
