Delicious desserts, friendly staff, has video games to play for free! Ate tofu pudding and waffle

Stopped by here with my wife for dessert after dinner, and it was a great choice. We shared an ice grass jelly dessert with extra grass jelly and tapioca balls, a splash of milk, and I added a little half-and-half afterward--super tasty, smooth, and not too sweet. The vibe inside was chill and welcoming. They had Coco playing on the TV, which was a nice touch and made the place feel relaxed and family-friendly. I can easily see this being a spot for families, friends, or even casual meet-ups. Service was a bit mixed--the staff member who took our order didn't seem very friendly at first, but when we were leaving, she was much warmer and polite, which helped end things on a good note. Overall, a solid dessert spot that I'd definitely return to. The dessert alone makes it worth coming back. read more

I'm such a fan of Meet Fresh so it sucks to leave a low star review. However, it is necessary to put the truth out there in the hopes that this location will improve. The staff here is so unkind. Came here with family and we were the only ones in the store. No acknowledgment of us while we waited for the staff to take our order. After about 10 minutes the girl at the front told us to order at the kiosk behind us. She could have mentioned that sooner, why make us wait? She was not assisting anyone else. At least have a sign to tell you to order at the kiosk. Just trying to close up the shop, an hour and a half earlier I guess. Ordering at the kiosk was not a pleasant experience. I usually make specific modifications to my boba drinks and I was not seeing the options there. It was frustrating to navigate. When I got my order the girl had so much attitude. The quality of the boba and the ice treats are high but the customer service here is very poor. The bare minimum was not even reached with the staff here. I watched another family come in and get the same treatment. read more

This has to be the worst Meet Fresh I have been to... If you're thinking of your normal Meet Fresh experience, lower that expectation a couple of notches before you walk in here... This place was a bit dirty and unkept... The left over cup was on the table while 2 workers sitting behind the counter chatting away. The air conditioner wasn't on. One out of two bathrooms is out of order with a cleaning bucket blocking it. The lighting was dingy. Overall, it is just a subpar Meet Fresh that definitely does not feel fresh. read more

It is best tasting the very first day! Order was made quickly! I love their winter melon tea at 50 percent sweetness. They have so many monthly deals, it is hard to pass up. I'm glad I went at night, there was no line. The menu is huge. Inside is pretty quiet and clean. read more

Meet Fresh - Winter melon - Desserts Near Me - West Covina, California

We were craving Meet Fresh on New Year's Day and stopped by around noon to order takeout. There were no other customers when we walked in. I placed my order with an employee, though I later noticed there's a self-service ordering kiosk near the entrance. Communication was a bit challenging, as the staff at this location speak very limited English. The first employee had to call over another staff member to help with my order, since it seemed like there was some confusion. The seasonal hot almond soup is currently available, so we ordered that along with a build-your-own hot grass jelly with taro paste and mini Qs. This was my first time trying the taro paste and it was excellent - definitely a must-order for taro lovers, and the portion was generous. The grass jelly itself was lacking in sweetness and we had to ask separately for creamer (thought it usually came with it, but I could be misremembering). Unfortunately, the packaging was a miss. The lid on the grass jelly wasn't secured properly, and some of it spilled inside the bag. read more

Meet Fresh - Spilled not capped tightly - Desserts Near Me - West Covina, California

I was craving a shave ice dessert after having dinner nearby and was pleased to see Meet Fresh in the area. There are ample parking spots as it's located in a shared plaza. The service was rather poor. No one greets you and there are hand written signs all over the store to direct you on how to self order. Basically you order what you want at a kiosk. There are television menus on display and they are all outdated. There is a menu by the wall, which is also outdated. The kiosk where you self service also has a suggestive tip option, which I don't understand since no one is helping us. My boyfriend and I decided on a large strawberry mango dessert as it was only $1 more compared to the medium. The size is actually GINORMOUS. We added on pudding and mochi ... and the dessert cost almost $20. They only have two small pieces of mochi. I'm used to mochi balls being scattered in the dessert. Anyways, I think that's a pretty steep price for dessert. We couldn't finish it. It was overwhelming. The mango and strawberry toppings also weren't very sweet. However the presentation was nice. PS- The restrooms were "out of order". Not sure I'll be back. There are other more satisfying dessert places in the neighborhood with better customer service and pricing. read more

Originating from Taichung, Taiwan, Meet Fresh was founded in 2007 by the Fu siblings. Most of the items on the menu were the Fu family's traditional and home cooked recipes. It's known for authentic flavor and dedication to natural, handmade ingredients. The dessert shop did so well in Taiwan that many new locations were opened in various countries. Meet Fresh is my mom's favorite dessert place. We usually go to the Temple City location. Glad that they opened one here near us. It's in the same plaza of Haven City Food Hall with plenty of parking. Interior is cute, clean, and spacious with two claw machines. Staffs are very nice, friendly, and helpful. They refilled our water and brought it to our table. Most of their items on the menu are delicious and not too sweet. We love their hot red bean soup with sesame balls and signature shaved ice. Their grass jelly is good but it's more to the sweeter side. Great place to hangout after lunch/dinner with friends and family. read more

I have come here occasionally for their Too Good To Go since it's the only way the prices here can be reasonable. The staff organization/knowledge seems very lacking as they often don't have a clue the specifics about the app orders. People often get pissed waiting for a long time here and I've had customers want to fight me because they everyone was cutting the queue because the waits were so long and the staff doesn't manage the customer expectations or line. I've literally been told by the staff to come back in an hour because they're too behind which seems to be most of the time. I've seen 1 person overwhelmed on a busy day sure... but I've seem the same happen with 5 staff. Something is not right. read more

We ordered the strawberry mango shaved ice and added in taro balls. They ran out of strawberries so they gave us a free choice of q mochi. The shaved ice was decent, and the q mochi and taro balls were yummy and chewy. The large sized shaved ice we ordered was enough for 5 people. The matcha egg waffle was ok. It was bitter and dry. Needed some condensed milk or something to sweeten and moisten it. Wouldn't recommend ordering. Service was good and the store has plenty of seating, games and claw machines. Good spot to hangout with friends and family. read more

Oh baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle? I'm losing my mind just a little So why don't you just meet me in the middle?... 4.5/5 Chocolate Deluxe Egg Waffle was good although we could have used a bit more ice cream as it was like 3 parts waffle 1/3 ice cream. The chocolate was good on each little waffle bubble bite, my kids really enjoyed it. Didn't try the chocolate rolls that was all the kiddos. It also has some nuts sprinkled in there. 4/5 Ambiance Indoor and outdoor seating available. Card only no cash. Return tray area near the bathrooms. Both bathrooms were out of service on our visit. They do have board game nights Tuesdays. They have wifi as well but was surprised how empty this location was. 4/5 Parking Parking around the shopping center can get busy but not bad. With a lot of competition in their own backyard this location needs to be on point to keep up especially with the bathrooms. I wonder what this place is like on a Tuesday night.

One of the smallest locations we'v visited. I really like Meet Fresh teas cause they are not sweet and strong enough for me. We came in for green tea and matcha egg waffle. It took a while for our order to come out cause there was only one worker. The tea was tasty and waffle was yummy. Meet Fresh is the best place for Taiwanese desserts! read more

The food was great and inside was clear and bright but the girl at the counter was moody. I wanted to order and she directed me to the kiosk to do it myself. Not the usual friendly behavior I'd usually get from staff from here. No smile, hello, eye contact or anything that would make me feel welcomed. I supposed that's not that important as long as the food was good and it was. It looked like it was just her and 1 other person in the kitchen area. I ordered it togo because I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it. Packaging was nice. Ice cream and shaved iced stayed cold and the boba was warm. Good combo. There was guest Wi-Fi avail, it showed up on my phone but I didn't see the Wi-Fi password posted anywhere so I'm not sure if it's really available for guest use. Otherwise as long as you're there for the food it was fine. read more

I've always seen the ads but finally gave this place a try and I was throughly impressed by these Taiwanese desserts! Beans in dessert had me shook, but it's the mix of herby grass jelly, cold shaved ice, black sesame balls, and taro balls that when eaten together gives you a deep flavor that almost feels beyond just a dessert. It's a colorful concoction that makes you excited to try it again and again with so many different combinations and toppings you can't go wrong! Big open spaces for you and the crew to get a bowl! Having the electronic kiosk also helps going with a group and you can customize exactly what you want, although the staff is willing to help if you have any questions read more

Located right at the main entrance of HK Plaza in West Covina. We tried the jelly dessert--perfect for when you're craving something sweet but not overly sugary. I also got a side of sesame balls. They have a kiosk, so you can order either in person or at the machine. Service was quick, and the place was cute. They even have a claw machine and a computer station where kids can play games. read more

10/10 mochi dessert. My cousin and I couldn't stop saying how flavorful all the different items were and how well everything went together. We should've gotten a large! Thank you to the employee who helped us decide on what to get - there are so many delicious options! They didn't have the taro mochi shaved ice at this location but i highly recommend the mochi one! The drinks were also packed with flavor and you can modify the ice and sweetness level! The location also has a vending machine with clothes for labubu & and arcade game - very entertaining for the kids! read more

I usually order the icy grass jelly which I highly recommend! This time we ordered off the too good too go app and we got a winter melon tea with boba and hot grass jelly with taro balls and boba! The boba and taro balls were still very soft and chewy; the grass jelly was delicious! Def worth a visit and worth the mystery bag on the too good to go app! read more

Meet fresh will always have my heart I typically order the Icy Grass Jelly Signature, but recently, my boyfriend and I got the Matcha Deluxe Egg Waffle. Although I am not the biggest fan of red bean, the mochi, ice cream, & egg waffle were amazing. Although the waffle did not have a strong matcha taste, I still thought it was very delicious. read more

The drinks and waffles are good but the wait and service is horrible. Staff are inattentive and do not care you're waiting for long. I walked up to order and was immediately turned away and told to order in the self service kiosk. Not sure if that's how this company functions. However, I am confident to say I will avoid visiting this location. Just plain rude! read more

so happy this location opened up! i usually just order tha #1 since it has most value, but even then it's a lottt

Came here to pick up my Too Good To Go order. The dessert I got was Hot red bean taro ball soup. It wasn't too sweet which I liked. The drink was some sort of tea (not a milk tea) I am not sure but it was good. The inside is clean and well maintained. The pick up was very smooth. read more

Really enjoyed this meet fresh. It wasn't crowded at all, it was actually empty on Saturday at 2 pm. We got the Icy Grass Jelly Signature and it was so refreshing. They also had a cool arcade emulated machine that had a bunch of retro/fighting games that we were able to play while we waited. Definitely enjoyed this location more than many of the other busier locations. Parking - Tough if its at the busy hours since Haven City Market & the grocery store shares the same lot. read more

This review is long overdue, as I had been looking forward to the opening of Meet Fresh in West Covina. Now that they are open, I can enjoy their shaved ice during the hot summer and their hot desserts during the cold season. Both are excellent. While their boba drinks are not my preference, I highly recommend their shaved ice and hot desserts. Thank you for opening a location in West Covina. read more

My wife loves taro so much. This bowl was heaven for her. Not too sweet taste delicious. Everything goes well together. I added red beans on the side. Perfect dessert. read more

Meet Fresh - Double Taro Signature - Desserts Near Me - West Covina, California

This place is quite new in the area the time we visited, only open just couple of months. We were dining outside since we got our dog with us. The outdoor area was not that nice, felt it likes abandoned place, so many outdoor stuff for event were not kept properly. Additionally, the hot red bean we got was just not even luke warm, a bit disappointing since you expect to warm yourself during winter with the hot soup. Waffles for my husband was decent, quite similar with other places we tried. 6/10 read more

Meet Fresh offers all sorts of Taiwanese desserts. They have hot and cold desserts, egg waffles, and teas! Parking gets pretty busy as it's a packed plaza with Haven City Market across the plaza and other restaurants. There's plenty of seating and outdoor seating as well to grab a quick bite or hang out for a while. There's also claw machine for games and a vending machine for labubu outfits! (~$10 / each labubu outfit item) Desserts are great but the owners need to stop being stingy with staff. There's only 1 person working the front! Then they only have 1 other person for the back, total of 2 staff members. This causes slow pacing of desserts and must be overwhelming for the staff during rush hour. read more

My order came 30 mins late. Staff said someone must have picked it up or we didn't hear our number called. We were within earshot the whole time. Out of boba again. Seems like they often run out of it. Washrooms are dirty. Really wondering how management is running the franchise. read more

Awesome food and drinks. Free coffee sample was great and delicious. Green tea was delicious and not too sweet

Newly Opened Meet Fresh location (opened back in August), found in the same plaza as BMC and newly opened Haven City Market. I visited this location on a Sunday with my husband. We entered from the back entrance (where you will find a unisex restroom. What is interesting is that there is a sink right outside the restroom (this is also a sink in the restroom) for those that may just want to wash their hands, which I think is nice. Anyways, when we came in and walked to the counter, we were greeted by the employees behind the counter. After looking over the menu, we ended up purchasing: Almond Milk Drink w/ Boba, $6.50 prior to tax- I ordered this drink which I thought was just perfect in flavor. It was not too sweet and was nice to have hot on a cold day. The boba was perfectly cooked, nice and soft with a good chew. Milk Tea w/ Grass Jelly, $6.50 prior to tax- My husband ordered this milk tea to be made with no ice and 50% sweetness. He liked his drink and thought the grass jelly was just right. ---------------------------------- (Total= $13.96 after tax) Service was friendly and quick. I like the nice seating area with several tables and chairs to choose from. But because the parking can be a challenge and also this location is not in an area that I frequent often, I most likely won't come back to this location often. But I did like my visit and would come back in the future. read more

PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ORDERS. i ordered an icy taro ball combo c which said comes with taro balls, melon jelly, rice balls, and boba and a plain egg waffle. i took this order to go and the store wasn't loud or busy. my order came at a decent pace and everything was correct for the most part. however, when i went home and mixed my icy taro ball combo c, i only saw the boba, melon jelly, and rice balls. i did not see any taro balls, which is sad because i was looking forward to that. i find it odd that i receive an icy taro ball combo c with no taro balls...like it it not in the name? the staff didn't tell me if they were out of taro balls and they completed the order like normal. i previously dined in a few weeks ago and got a pudding & q mochi milk shaved ice. when i got my order, it had no pudding which i had to ask the staff for it since they forgot. overall, i'm speechless how they can forget toppings that are in the name of the dessert. read more

I've never been to this plaza before, but it has such good options! Especially the newly opened Meet Fresh! My co-worker and I came here after dinner to continue chatting and it was such a good place to go! The place was clean and had lots of seating (very spacious!). And the service was really good, we were staring at the menu for a while since there are so many different things to order but they all look so good! We ordered two things to share and it was more than enough for us! read more

I'm not rating this too much for the ambiance; it has always been too loud and busy every time I've come here. They also took forever to get my order ready, maybe 20 minutes? That being said, it's a great place to get delicious dessert. I enjoyed the grass jelly bowl with added red bean and taro. I also like that they post how many calories each item is, and what allergens are included. read more

My partner and I went to this place on our last night in Los Angeles - wish we could have gone everyday instead! lol the place was spacious, looked fun and casual. The guy behind the ordering counter was very helpful with providing info on their different items; he was very personable! Honestly, if we weren't so full we would have tried other items on their menu. The mango berry shaved ice we got was freakin yummy! My partner who came with me saying I can't eat any more ended up digging right in with me!! Soooo good - wish we had places like this in Indianapolis. Will definitely be dreaming about this experience. read more

Meet Fresh - Mangoberry Milk Shaved Ice regular size - Desserts Near Me - West Covina, California

I enjoyed getting desserts from this place. I don't usually get their drinks but their shaved ice can and desserts can be refreshing on a hot summer day. They have a wide variety of desserts and drinks to select from. I usually order anything pretty much with taro, sesame ball, potato ball, etc. Service is mediocre. It can get pretty busy at times so it's understandable if staffs are not attentive. Ambiance is family and friends friendly. Whether you just want to grab something refreshing or catching up with friends, you can't be disappointed. read more

The mango & strawberry shaved ice was so good -- I had to get it again! My family and I visited on a Saturday afternoon. No wait time at the kiosk, and we got our dessert after ~7 minutes. The ice was refreshing and crunchy, similar to a snowcone which was perfect for the hot day! The fruit was sweet and juicy. The parking can be a little tricky on the weekends since it's in the haven city plaza. What I like about this location is that they also sell cute plushies and have a fighting game in t read more

This place needs help. Literally. Management is clearly doing something wrong here because why would you only have 2 people making orders during a weekend night, the same during a weekday? I know because I've gone here multiple times both during the weekend & weekday. Tonight they were clearly backed up and couldn't even take orders at the cashier. Every time I come, whether it's on a weekend or a weekday, the wait time is always an issue. Over 30 minutes for 1 drink and 1 shaved ice. Unfortunately, because of that majority of the times I've come here there has always been something wrong with my order. You CANNOT effectively run a long lasting business like this, your employees clearly need more support and they deserve a better working environment. I genuinely do like the desserts here but everything is a mess. It's not worth coming here anymore honestly. read more
