Large strawberry milk ice and grass jelly ice
Ming-Jou C.

Went to this Meet Fresh location because it's closer. I was surprised to see it pop up when I did a quick search and realized it's in the Mama Lu's restaurant building off 17th. It's just a little shop with its own seating area off to the right of the restaurant entrance. You can order off the kiosk or with the apathetic Gen Z woman behind the counter. That didn't bother me as much as the fact that their menu prices were $0.50 off from what I was actually charged. Kind of misleading. We got the grass jelly shave ice and the strawberry shave ice. They were both really good with I think the best deal being the grass jelly one for $10. Will go back as I don't like dealing with the parking at the Alton/Jamboree DJ plaza. Just keep in mind what you see may differ from what you pay.

Got off a long 15 hour shift off work for desert with my friends. Amazing atmosphere and the shaved ice was exactly what I needed. The mochi had the most satisfying chew and the pudding was so velvety and smooth. The girl at the front was very kind and accommodating. I love this place and will be back soon.

It's been crazy hot here so some bingsoo sounded really good. This is quite close to my mom's house so I thought we'd try it out. I suspect they are slightly understaffed which is fine. You can order with someone at the counter who was super nice or you can self order on a touch screen. Took a little while to come out. This was more Taiwanese style I guess. Not as finely shaved. More crunchy icy. Not as much fresh fruit. Sweeter worth more syrup. Yummy ice cream at the top. Overall good. I just personally prefer the less sweet/more fresh fruit. Amazing presentation! Lots of parking. On the same side as Mama Lus but they dont share seating.

Located in a grocery wholesale market area next to Mama Lu's Dumpling house. I never realized there was a Meet fresh located here! I usually go for the one in Irvine, but discovered this place is a little with much better parking. They have a kiosk at the front for self-ordering. I ordered the taro signature dish; took 5-ish minutes for our order to be ready. They have a few tables and comfy chairs inside; though many of the tables looked dirty. Their grass jelly ice is one of my favorite items on the menu so I always order a dessert that includes that _ their taro mochi is so chewy and the perfect texture to eat with the shaved ice. A slightly random location but with ample parking, would come here over the Diamond Jamboree plaza one.

I heard so many good things about this place and especially how yummy their desserts were, so I finally decided to give it a try! Came here the other day to catch up with a friend and we both really enjoyed it. This spot is located inside an Asian market next to a dumpling place, and they had so many different desserts to choose from that I honestly couldn't decide I ended up playing it safe and got the bubble waffle with red bean filling. The waffle itself was really good.. crispy on the outside and soft inside. I just wish the red bean filling was a little more smooth and pasty instead of having whole beans, but it still tasted really good either way. My friend also got one of their pudding-style desserts and we both loved it because it wasn't overly sweet at all. Perfect balance of sweetness and super refreshing after eating. Definitely planning to come back to try more of their desserts because everything looked so good. Thank you for the yummy sweets ... you've officially gained a forever customer

Visited Meet Fresh, after eating at Mama Lu's, it's literally 10-steps from the podium (hostess station of the restaurant). This week were herbal tea samples! :))) Meet Fresh is a Twainese dessert chain focus on shaved ice with red bean soup desserts and boba. I stopped to try their matcha dessert along with a Hong Kong egg waffle, and both really hit the spot. The matcha latte was not overly sweet, with that slightly bitter, earthy taste you want from good matcha. That said, the Thai Ice tea is good but desserts feel a bit watered down compared to what I remembered. The base prices seem reasonable at first, but once you start adding toppings or upgrades, the total climbs quickly and can be a little shocking at checkout. The HK matcha egg waffle was fresh, warm, and had that perfect contrast: crispy on the outside and soft and airy on the inside. It's a simple item, but when done right like this, it's super satisfying. Honestly, it pairs really well with the matcha desserts. There a several tables to enjoy your teas.

This Meatfresh establishment is hidden within the grocery store entrance. The quickest and easiest method to order is through the self-serve kiosk in the far corner near the seating. This is efficient, but terrible placement as the self serve line get's backed up, blocking the entrance to the restroom and leaves people standing over guests who are sitting. The dessert was good here, as I ordered the red bean hot soup, but the service really lacked. From ordering and receiving my receipt to actually receiving the dessert, it took about 25 minutes. Pretty long, considering it wasn't very crowded. The staff was prioritizing to-go and online orders, which led them to have a ton of dessert sitting with no one picking them up, and all the dine-in guests waiting.

Unfortunately, I came here just to try one thing only, but I guess some of their desserts on the menu that contains fruits like the mango/strawberry is only seasonal. They did not serve it, so I had to try other items. Wish I had known about this seasonal changes prior to driving here. This shop is located inside the super market, plenty of parking and tables. Maybe I will come back, the quality of the dessert was good. I had the Pudding & Q Mochi Shaved ice and wow it was sweet, in a good way, not overly. Tasted fresh, the chocolate waffle had a nice crunch to it mixed with ice cream.

Jay W.

This place is located in a supermarket next to a dim sum spot. The service is quick and the ambiance is quick service. I was disappointed that they don't update their menu, I came here on the pre-notion that the mango and the mango berry shaved ice is there. It even shows on the menu. However, it is only seasonal. The egg waffle is decent. Pretty basic order. I ordered it with ice cream and they didn't out the ice cream in it. I thought they did. Regardless it was made fresh and fluffy. A but chewy. 3.8/5 The boba is generic brown sugar milk tea. 3/5. The shaved ice was milk pudding I think? Surprisingly it was good and they hooked it up with alot of toppings. I recommend this one. 5/5.

Large Mango Berry Bingsoo
Alex R.

This is hands down the best Bingsoo I've ever had. So much flavor in every bite. The potion was also very large for the price and they even had happy hour on top of that. We could barely finish the whole thing between the 3 of us. Cashier was very friendly with a smile. Place is nice and quaint and sits next to a restaurant by a grocery store. I recommend 100% if you're in the OC area.

Mangoberry Milk Shaved Ice, medium $14.75
Elle C.

Our Mangoberry Shaved Ice was tasty and refreshing (I especially enjoyed the mango side); it was attractive in presentation, served in an deep square bowl; I love the large stainless steel spoons (unlike flimsy little plastic spoons that are provided at some other shaved ice locations I've visited)! Our thoughts are that the ice was less finely shaved than another shaved ice we've had. One of the negative reviews for Irvine's location was that order numbers weren't called out; while this is my 1st experience at Meet Fresh, I appreciated that order numbers were not only called out by automated announcements, but also one's order number is visually displayed in lights by their pick-up counter; it is hard to hear with neighboring Mama Lu's radio station playing loudly; I observed 2 tables' numbers repeatedly called out, but the guests, seated in the small seating area didn't hear; I -- on the other hand -- was paying attention! Interesting location, sharing space with a grocery store on one side and Mama Lu's Dumpling on the other. I'm glad that we were able to comfortably enjoy our dessert at a table. Eager to experience more items off their menu! I appreciated that the staff was friendly, patient, and helpful -- making my 1st visit an enjoyable one.

Quite disappointed because the traditional toppings for the tofu pudding are limited... there's really only red beans, taro balls, taro and boba. Peanut is not available at this location. They used to have mung beans and barley at the Irvine branch but no longer available. I asked for hot tofu pudding and it came out lukewarm. The egg waffle is just terrible. For $7.25, it has absolutely no sweetness. It's the right texture but no flavor. Maybe the shaved ice or drinks are better. Tofu pudding and egg waffle were disappointing.

Good dessert place right next to Mama Lu's. We had the hot red bean mochi soup (?), q mochi and almond, and the mango shave iced. Per my sister, the red bean mochi soup was really bland. It's supposed to be a dessert but they call it soup, so we wonder if it's really a soup that's why it's not sweet? I like the almond with red beans and q mochi. The mochi had the perfect chewy texture. Almond jello was good. My brother-in-law liked his humongous mango milk shaved ice dessert and we were surprised how quickly he ate his while we were eating dinner (he already had dinner somewhere else when they came). We also saw many people from other tables ordering that same dessert. Meet Fresh's popular menu item. Service was very slow. Took a while to get our order.

Been hearing a lot of buzz about the Japanese fluffy pancakes craze, currently not offered in my…read morehometown in NorCal. Visited my buddies in SoCal recently, who raved about Fluffy Fluffy. Had to opportunity to check this place out prior to our trek back to NorCal, immediately following AYCE shabu, and I'm glad I didn't pass up on the opportunity, given that my stomach has seemingly reached full capacity. As we entered, we were gifted the pleasure of a warm greeting by a staff member who then sat us down and gave us first-timers a brief overview of the menu, his recommendations, and a brief history lesson about the origin of Fluffy Fluffy. After some waiting, we were presented with three aesthetically pleasing plates of these highly hyped fluffy pancakes. I then grabbed a knife and fork to cut into the stack of pancakes and was astonished by how... for a lack of better word, fluffy they were. Upon first bite, I expected a rush of sugar to register after a few seconds of chewing. However, that sensation never came. The pancakes were just the right level of sweet. A few minutes later, the plates were completely cleared and I was back to suffering from again reaching full capacity and thought to myself, "when will I ever learn?". All in all, great hospitality from staff, clean and upbeat ambiance, and most importantly excellent dessert items that were easy to consume without the feeling of developing instantaneous diabetes after finishing. Highly recommended.

Lots of tables to sit and very bright kiddish environment.

Baked Banhs have some of the best canelés in town, and sadly, they are closing on June 27th! We are…read moreso sad we didn't get to come visit until quite recently. :( We parked in the nearby parking lot on 4th street. Usually parking here isn't too bad if you're staying for less than an hour and easy to walk over to the dessert shop. Baked Banhs is located in the 4th street food market, one of the first shops you'll see if you're coming from the parking lot. Note the hours before you come (for instance, they're closed on Sundays and Mondays). And note that they seem to usually sell out of certain items by the days end. We've tried a number of different items here now including four of their canelés and their basque cheesecake. The cheesecake was solid. But we really loved their canelés. They are soft/moist on the inside with a nice crunch. And the different flavors really come through. Our favorite is the black sesame - not only is there black sesame peppered on the top but also in the center with a nice black sesame cream. It's so good and delicious. Four canelés cost $16 and thought they were well worth the price. Again, it's so sad to hear that Baked Banhs is closing soon so if you're a fan of canelés or other desserts, recommended to come sooner than later to try this out! We really hope they reopen again elsewhere or do a lot of pop-ups soon.

Honestly one of the best donut places I've encountered recently. Best when hot though (which is…read morealways). They turn into just above average donuts after they cool down. But after trying Oliboli I have to ask myself why doesn't everybody do this? This is ingenious. If you wondered why Krispy Kreme was so popular when the "hot donuts" sign is on - this is donuts taken to another level. FOOD: Donuts are terrific. Even cooled down they still are tasty but definitely go down a level. Had the chocolate which is very dark chocolate like instead of a milk chocolate so if you don't like a more bitter chocolate then maybe go a different direction. Also had the dutch apple pie and that was AMAZING! So many of them look good. They rotate flavors so you won't see the same ones every time. SERVICE: Really nice. Very helpful and patient and they get the donuts out pretty quickly. Everyone there had smiles on their faces and sure it costs a bit more but the portion size is huge. One donut will do ya! COST: Again more than your average donut place but you certainly get your money's worth! Would highly recommend.

Been here one or two times before and decided to finally write a review this time!…read more Parking looks hard to find initially but the parking lot actually wraps around the buildings all the way to the back so there are plenty of spots. When you enter, they have a display case that shows what each donut they offer looks like. You order and pay at the counter, give them your name, and find a seat while you wait for them to call out your name. There's always a little bit of a wait for your donuts because they fry them all fresh! The dough they use is also similar to a sourdough, so the taste and texture is so unique. They have their standard/permanent flavors as well as seasonal/rotating ones. My friends and I shared the Banoffee ($7.95), Pumpkin Pie ($8.95), Pumpkin Glazed ($5.75), and Bumbleberry Glazed ($5.50). Each donut is hefty so sharing is the way to go. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who hasn't tried them before. You won't be disappointed!

The Food: We got the Ube Cashew Brownie and the Jasmine calamansi iced tea. The former is like a traditional brownie but instead of chocolate it's made of ube (purple yam), which was moist, sweet but not too sweet, and absolutely delicious. All that goodness was balanced by the cashews. The Jasmine Calamansi Iced Tea, which as the name connotes, combines Jasmine tea and Calamansi (an Asian citrus) juice. I'm not big on either but itself, but together this drink made for a refreshing drink. The Service: Everyone who works there is top notch: fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Setting: It's located in the Tustin District, which has one of the worst engineered parking lots in Southern California. Firstly, the ingresses and egresses snarl traffic like crazy. Secondly, there are no parking structures, so it's tough to find a good spot up close during peak hours. The Interior: The cafe itself is narrow so there's not a ton of space to hangout I'd you're with a big crowd. It's nicely decorated and relatively clean, though the trash can was hard to find and filled to the brim. Plus, there weren't a ton of napkins. The Price: I would have given this place a perfect 5 out of 5 were it not for the higher-than-normal prices and the horrific parking situation. The Conclusion: Cafe 86 is our go-to spot when we have a sugar craving and don't mind paying a little bit more to get Filipino-inspired dessert.
