6 of us came after lunch, for desserts. we ordered 1 iced and 1 hot desserts (1/3 sugar), plus an egg waffle. the place is very clean, orders are through large panels at the counter or by the door. service was friendly. the desserts are perfect for sweetness. egg waffles were freshly made and hot. mochi and dumplings are chewy and fresh. the total bill was over $30, on the expensive side for bowls of mostly ice and water. they also give away free drink for a Yelp review. which I have no problem with if a business wants to be put on the map. I gave my honest opinion and got my free winter melon drink (1/2 sugar) which was also very good. read more

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 bite 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++!

I saw Sul & Bean on social media, so you know I had to give it a try when I was at Shanghai Plaza…read more My first impression was that it was a little difficult finding a parking spot and figuring out exactly where the shop was. It's tucked away toward the back part of Shanghai Plaza, so it can be easy to miss if you don't know where you're going. Once we finally found it, we walked in and were greeted right away. The place is small, but it's very clean, cozy, and inviting. I could definitely see this being a nice spot to meet up with someone to catch up, or even somewhere to stop by after dinner for a dessert. I ordered the Taro Bingsoo, and if you're a taro fan, this is definitely worth trying. The taro flavor was very noticeable without being overwhelming, with a nutty and slightly floral sweetness that made it really enjoyable. The shaved ice itself was incredibly fluffy and light, and there was enough taro throughout the entire dessert that you got a good amount in almost every bite. The nuts were also a great addition because they gave it a nice crunch and texture against the soft shaved ice. I would definitely recommend sharing the Bingsoo rather than ordering one for yourself. The portion is generous, and there's plenty to go around, especially if you're already coming in after a meal. For the price, I thought it was very reasonable considering the portion and quality. Overall, I really enjoyed my first visit to Sul & Bean. The location was a little tricky to find, but once you get there, it's a nice little dessert spot with a relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely come back and try another flavor of their Bingsoo next time.

I especially love their strawberry cheesecake bingsoo, mango bingsoo, and green tea bingsoo. The portions are generous and are great for sharing. My husband and I always share one flavor per visit. Strawberry cheesecake bingsoo: is a great combination of sweet and tangy, with freshness from the strawberries and richness from the cheesecake bites. Mango bingsoo: tastes delicious, refreshing, and fruity with natural sweetness from the fresh, juicy mango pieces. Green tea bingsoo: has a nice earthy matcha flavor that pairs really well with the sweetness of the red beans and condensed milk. This location in Diamond Plaza has a cozy, casual, and welcoming vibe that makes it a great place to enjoy their desserts. There is a good amount of indoor seating, and the place feels clean.

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!

When the ice melts, there is a noticeable drop in quality, but that's expected, and I honestly think it's still a good product. Signature Milk Tea: This is probably the first time I had a milk tea where I basically tasted 80% milk and 20% tea. It pretty much redefined how I see milk teas. Traditional milk teas are now "Tea milks", where the taste of the tea is the dominant taste, and what Chubby Tea has is MILK tea. It's smooth, it's creamy (until the ice melts), it's light, and it's not too sweet. I don't know how much this will cost if bought at full price, but I think it's worth trying. Service: It's really just a drink bar, so you either order in person or order via the tablet. They make your drink, and you wait for it. Ambiance: It's inside a chubby cattle, which always has a Japanese nightclub kind of vibe. The theme is nice, and the feel is nice, as long as it's not too smoky.

It literally tasted like powder mix and an improperly mixed one. There was chunks of powder, no freshness and overly sweet. There maybe one point where this place was decent but that has long sailed as the drinks are all powdered. Take a look at their rack and you will see huge wholesale packages of powder.

I wish I was able to leave a 0 star review. DO NOT EAT HERE, unless you want bad customer service, rude employees treating you like they are better than everyone else, and in general food that is not what you ordered and or is missing items. This place made me create a yelp accont just to share with you all how bad this place is. Giving a special shout out to the server, EMILY. She is the reason why I created this review. About 20 of my friends and I went here on 9/16/23 after dinner. We EACH had orderd multiple stuff per person. My friend had ordered the mango-berry shaved ice (they messed this order up but fixed it right away because they realized they were the ones to mess up), and 3 drinks. They messed up one drink, and so my friend had her 9 year old daughter go and ask if they can fix it, Emily had rudely declined and gave a dumb excuse. My friend then went up to ask for a remake/switch of the drink, and was told rudely that they were not able to because the drink had taken a sip out of it. How are we supposed to know if a drink is wrong if we don't take a sip out of it? My friend asked if they were able to give a refund then, and had gotten told no because the drink was already dranken. The drink was 98.9 percent still full. Emily had rudely and angerly told my friend no, which made her angry and take the drink and chug it to the ground. Emily then had walked over to the rest of our friends (the 19 other people who each ordered multiple stuff) and yelled at all of us to get out. We all asked why we were getting kicked out, and Emily had then continued to try to scream and kick us out, but none of us budged to leave because we were not in the wrong. Then as we had left later on, Emily had given us dirty stares. WORSE place in Hacienda Heights. Do not come here! EMILY ruined my time with my friends. Will NOT be coming back here. I don't know why Emily is still working here, when other reviews have complained about her. read more

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful dessert experience at Meet Fresh. Their classic ice with grass jelly has become my go-to dessert whenever I visit. The combination of the refreshing ice and the delectable grass jelly creates a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that I simply can't resist. It's a true treat for the taste buds. While the dessert itself is fantastic, I must admit that the takeout experience could be improved. On several occasions, I've noticed that the dessert tends to melt by the time I arrive home. It's a bit disappointing to have a partially melted dessert after eagerly looking forward to savoring it. I believe that if Meet Fresh could provide some ice or implement better packaging techniques to keep the dessert cold during transportation, it would make a world of difference. This would ensure that customers can enjoy the dessert in its optimal state, even when opting for takeout. Despite this minor inconvenience, I still highly recommend Meet Fresh for their delectable desserts, especially the classic ice with grass jelly. The flavors and quality are undeniably fantastic. If you have the opportunity to dine in or enjoy the dessert on-site, I encourage you to do so, as it guarantees a more enjoyable experience. In conclusion, Meet Fresh's classic ice with grass jelly is a dessert that shouldn't be missed. The flavors are exceptional and the texture is delightful. However, if you choose to order takeout, be aware that the dessert may melt during transit. Nevertheless, with a few improvements in the takeout process, Meet Fresh has the potential to provide an even better dessert experience for their customers. read more

My family and I have been loyal patrons of Meet Fresh for many years, ever since this location first opened its doors. However, it's disheartening to witness the decline in service and cleanliness over time. As many other reviewers have pointed out, the sink area consistently appears messy, with overflowing trash and debris scattered around the counter and adjacent floors. Both napkin holders by the sink are consistently empty. This isn't an occasional issue; we've observed these conditions during all of our recent visits. Furthermore, the tables often feel sticky, and the restrooms are disgusting. It's worth noting that this wasn't always the case. There was a time when this place was far better maintained. Adding insult to injury, our recent experience is likely the last straw. On a busy weekend night, with at least a dozen customers still in the restaurant (some had just gotten their order merely minutes ago), they abruptly turned off the lights at exactly 10pm. While everyone was puzzled by this sudden action, an employee strode past and shouted, "IT'S10!! WE ARE CLOSED!!" in an unfriendly tone. While we understand that staff members wish to conclude their shifts on time, there could have been a more courteous approach. A simple, "Is there anything we can assist you with? Our closing time is 10 pm," would have conveyed the message respectfully. Instead, the chosen method felt passive-aggressive and disrespectful towards customers. Considering the decline in overall service quality and cleanliness, coupled with this recent experience, we are uncertain if we will be back, which is a shame because we really did like the place. read more

Last weekend, I went to Meet Fresh in Rowland Heights, and it was a really good experience. I ordered their signature taro shaved ice. The texture of the ice was very smooth and soft, light and airy, and every bite was refreshing. The taro flavor was rich and natural, not overly sweet. The condensed milk on top was creamy and flavorful without being too sweet, and it paired perfectly with the ice. Each spoonful had a nice balance of taro and milk flavor, which was very satisfying. The shop was clean and well-kept, with plenty of seating, so it was easy to relax while eating. When the ice arrived, the colors looked very appealing, and I couldn't help taking a photo before digging in. The taro chunks were fresh and firm, and the ice melted smoothly in the mouth. Towards the end, the condensed milk gradually soaked into the ice, giving each bite a consistent, balanced sweetness. They also have many other dessert options and toppings, and next time I plan to try grass jelly, sweet potato balls, or mung bean desserts. Overall, I was very satisfied with this visit. The combination of shaved ice and condensed milk had the right texture and sweetness, making it enjoyable and satisfying. I will definitely come back and recommend it to friends who like desserts. read more

Replying back to "Angela Y", your response is dumb. If you really cared about your customers you wouldn't shout at them and scare the others. No one else cares until you started screaming and scaring my kids. It wasn't that hard to just remake a drink if apparently the customer is always right rule. I am not even the customer but this infuriates me because your responses are bull. You said your staff did the best they could except you could see in your "CCTV" or whatever you use to watch, that they were mocking the customer and laughing. And you can see from other reviews that they complained about the customer service. Maybe train them to be nicer to people instead of laughing and thinking it looks professional to act the way they did. I am so sorry for the customer who had to deal with this. I am never coming back to this location. read more

My overall experience at this establishment was below average. My party and I ordered four items: milk tea, jasmine green tea, a waffle, and shaved snow (mango and strawberry). Unfortunately, it took 40 minutes to receive all of our items. The place was not crowded, and it was clear that the staff was not busy, yet there was a significant delay in preparing our order. When I approached the counter to inquire about the status of our order, they made it right away. However, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the 40-minute wait. The staff behind the counter seemed indifferent, more focused on horsing around in the back than on providing good service. Their lack of professionalism and care contributed to an overall disappointing experience. I won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Meet Fresh is my absolute go-to spot whenever I'm craving authentic Taiwanese desserts! The quality and consistency here are always top-notch. Their taro balls and boba are cooked to absolute perfection--chewy, bouncy, and fresh every time. I especially love their icy grass jelly shaved ice and signature tofu pudding, which have just the right amount of sweetness without feeling overly heavy. The store is clean, modern, and has a great relaxed vibe to sit and catch up with friends. On top of that, the staff is consistently friendly, helpful, and super fast at preparing orders even when it gets busy. If you appreciate traditional Taiwanese treats or are looking for a refreshing sweet fix, Meet Fresh never disappoints. Highly recommended! read more

I recently visited Meet Fresh and had a great experience overall. The desserts are fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet, which I really appreciate. The taro balls had a perfect chewy texture, and the shaved ice was light and refreshing--perfect for a warm day. The menu has a lot of variety, so it might take a minute to decide, but everything feels authentic and well-made. The shop itself was clean and modern, though it can get a bit busy during peak hours. Service was quick and efficient, even with a line. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion size you get. Definitely a solid spot if you're craving Taiwanese desserts or something different from the usual sweets. I'd come back to try more items. read more

Absolutely loved my visit to Meet Fresh! I had the osmanthus shaved ice, and it was just as good as I remembered--light, fluffy, and incredibly refreshing. The osmanthus flavor was delicate and fragrant, not overpowering, and perfectly balanced with just the right level of sweetness. The texture of the shaved ice was super fine and melted smoothly in every bite, making it such a comforting dessert, especially on a warm day. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Service was friendly and efficient, and the space was clean and welcoming. Meet Fresh never disappoints when it comes to traditional Taiwanese desserts done right. I'll definitely be back for this again! read more

I always come to Meet Fresh whenever I'm craving dessert -- it's literally my go-to spot. The quality is always consistent, and everything tastes so fresh. The taro balls are perfectly chewy every time, and I love that their desserts aren't overly sweet. My favorite is the shaved ice with grass jelly and red beans -- it's refreshing, flavorful, and the portions are generous enough to share. The menu has so many options, so I never get bored trying new combinations. The shop is clean, modern, and has a relaxed vibe, which makes it perfect for catching up with friends or just treating yourself. Hands down one of my favorite dessert spots -- I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

This place is awesome! I ordered herbal tea with grass jelly and my friend got the signature grass jelly. The grass jelly tastes just like the ones made in Taiwan. Probably the most authentic Taiwanese dessert you can find in LA. The herbal tea has just the right amount of sweetness which is very rare for tea shops like this. Other dessert places are either too sweet or just plain chemical. Signature grass jelly is the must-order because it has everything I want. Tarp balls with grass jelly and shaved ice is the perfect combination, even for a cold winter day like this. Also the taro balls are hand made which makes it even better. Definitely will recommend more friends read more

Contusion is a gripping medical drama that balances emotional storytelling with realistic portrayals of trauma recovery. The characters feel authentic, especially the lead doctor, whose compassion and determination drive the narrative forward. The cinematography captures the intensity of emergency situations without becoming overwhelming, while the soundtrack subtly enhances the tension. Although a few scenes move slowly, the strong performances and thoughtful writing keep the audience engaged throughout. Contusion succeeds in delivering both entertainment and insight, making it a memorable experience for viewers interested in challenges read more

Meet Fresh is a great place for authentic Taiwanese desserts. The food is fresh and not overly sweet, with chewy taro balls and smooth grass jelly standing out. The deluxe chocolate egg waffle is especially impressive--crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and rich without being overwhelming, making it a must-try. The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy times. The ambience is clean, bright, and casual, making it a comfortable spot to relax with friends. Overall, it's a solid choice for a satisfying and enjoyable dessert experience. read more

Had fun at foodie tasting at meet fresh, Its quite different and was my time trying Q mochi, red bean hot soup with rice ball and almond soup. I rec if they have ice blended version for the red bean or taro instead of hot soup. Overall, meet fresh is known for iced Signature desserts and if it wasn't for this event I wouldn't randomly order the hot soup or combo selection. The iced shave strawberry is good but portion is too big (not like I want to double triple dip my spoon and share friends saliva) so if theres cup size that would be perfect. read more

Hands down one of the best shave ice and boba drink makers to date. Their assortment of items to.choose from is so crazy. Red bean. Mung bean. Peanuts. Taro. Tofu. Soy. Boba. Pudding. You get my drift. The drinks are perfectly balanced as well and well flavored. The teas are prominent in their taste and the boba is perfect. Great flavor.and squish. With perfect outside and fully.cooked. I applaud the boba master. You.muat try this place for dessert. I heard it's considered healthy dessert now since they use green and red bean. Ha ha. read more

Food: Great dessert. A go-to place after a nice dinner Ambiance: decent - tables could be bussed a little more as an added feature by staff. We usually have to clean it ourselves. Service: average, sometimes you'll get a cashier that will give you a smile, but they're usually just business at the register. The place doesn't really lose its appeal for me based on the last two, but the ambiance and service could improve and management could prob work on the last two. Either way, I'll still come to this location and others. read more

I recently visited Meet Fresh and tried their Boba Sugar Shaved Ice with sesame mochi and a side of grass jelly, and it was absolutely bomb dot com. I got it with 1/3 sugar, and it was perfectly sweetened. The dessert comes with caramel flan, brown sugar boba, and a variety of delightful toppings that add to the overall texture and flavor. The combination of the smooth grass jelly, chewy boba, and soft sesame mochi made every bite a treat. This dessert is a must-try for anyone looking for a refreshing and delicious treat! read more
