    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!

    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.

    Fast service good options. Has self order kiosk Tried the egg waffle for the first time. Would get again!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Double Taro Signature

    Got the Signature Series - double taro! This is my usual order, but we added the osmanthus jelly for an extra $1.25. Sweeter than expected, but if you're a fan of florals...would recommend. Super nice staff + lots of seating all around. Louder music in the background so you will need to speak up if you're chatting with someone.

    Fresh flavors and drinks and desserts are made quickly. Lots of seating available. Would recommend the icy taro ball signature or passion fruit sorbet bowl signature

    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.

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature? Dont remember the name of it but I love this.
    Arev L.

    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.

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature 2/10
    Marlisa S.

    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!

You can order either on the kiosk or at the register before seating yourself. They bring the food to you and you can grab sauces and water at a station in the corner We shared 4 dishes between 4 people and were all pretty full by the end of it. Overall thought the prices were super reasonable too Daikon cake: 5/5 my first time trying this dish and it was much crispier than I expected which was a nice surprise Egg omelette: 3/5 nothing wrong with it just not my favorite Juicy pork dumplings: 4/5 solid flavor Salty rice roll with spicy pickles: 4/5 you can choose between white or purple rice for this dish. It was also my first time trying thing and I thought it was pretty good

    The play was easy to find in a small little shopping area with different places to eat…read more.. I was set on what I wanted because I saw it on tiktok and told my sons I wanted to try it out. I was disappointed when we first got there because it was only 3 o'clock and they said that they were already out of the purple sticky rice for the item.I wanted to buy... They said they had it in white rice, so I thought, well, since we're already here, let's try it. The girl on TikTok said she wished she would've added an egg, but because we had a language barrier. I couldn't explain to her.I wanted a Fried egg,( I wanted it Wet) she gave me a hard boiled egg and it was an extra $2.50... I was pretty disappointed in this Salted white rice roll. Everything seemed old and soggy it was wrapped in plastic wrap, wasn't hot...and it was supposed to have a Chinese fried donut inside with a very crisp bite to it. It wasn't...it was soggy and flat...very chewy...And also The rice on the outside was not crispy/crunchy at all... Nothing really tasted fresh.... And that soy milk drink, everyone has their own preferences and tastes, but I did not like that soy drink at all... It tasted like wet hay/grass... And it was $4.95... she did ask me if I wanted it hot or cold....So I guess they serve a hot version, My son Bobby said that he liked the taste of it, but I noticed after the first couple of sips, he didn't drink anymore, I asked him did ne want it,he didn't...so i ended up throwing it away.... I also bought an order of the soup dumpling, And I was very disappointed in that because the dough that was around it was too thin, and when you picked it up it ripped, so you didn't get a soup dumpling. You just got a small piece of meat inside the dough. Because all of the juice dumped out when it ripped. Not a single one of them was lifted out onto the spoon, and the meat inside was a very small piece.I should've taken a picture of it , but I was just done with it... for $25.00 +tip I WONT BE BACK. I think i'm going to try the,'Yi Mei" in Monterey Park... I heard there's also one in San Gabriel. I hope I could find purple rice roll and all of its crispiness like that girl in the video , because this place was nothing like that!!! I DO NOT RECOMMEND. ALSO I TOOK PICTURES ... of the little cakes and snacks that they had for sale on a counter. We didn't buy or try any of them.FYI

They use store bought skin, probably to cut labor and cost, but honestly there are better options around the area. This is a casual spot. The service was limited.
