I'm a fan of shaved ice, and Mewame does a unique shaved ice desert. It's all coconut or nut milk based. The flavors are bright and clean and it makes a perfect treat on a warm day.

Wow wow wow! I am so amazed with this shop and can't wait to return to try more flavors! All the desserts are vegan and made-to-order, and the flavors are so unique. After getting recommendations from the cashier, I went with the summer special: Chill Voyage - yuzu coconut spirulina shaved ice. It ended up being super refreshing on the hot day! I loved the presentation with a fork and tray too. It made the overall experience so nice and welcoming. I have no idea how they get ice to be so fluffy! It is amazing, truly an art. I'd love to go back to try more flavors and even a shake. You can park in the Trader Joe's parking structure - 1 hour free parking.

Discovering Korean bingsu (shaved ice) was such a surprise for me, and Mewame completely changed the way I think about desserts. I never imagined ice could be so soft, fluffy, and full of flavor--it literally melts in your mouth. I fell in love after the very first bite. Ever since I found this place, I've been coming here almost every day. My favorite is the chocolate bingsu, but honestly, every flavor I've tried has been amazing. I've had bingsu at a few other places in Koreatown, but Mewame is by far my favorite. The quality, presentation, and taste are on another level. The café is spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed, and I love the location too. 20/10--absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Matcha smoothie & honeydew shaved ice cream
Maria D.

Absolute heaven! We ordered a matcha shake and a honeydew shaven ice cream. The matcha quality is seriously the best and the shake texture added a special touch. Def a lot more on the dessert side because of this. We shared one of each. The honeydew was the perfect flavor option for the ice. It's sweetness and freshness complimented well with the cream and the cookie. The texture of the shaved ice was fun as well. Service was very quick. They serve your items on nice wooden plates. I also enjoyed the layout and the table designs. Great size for optimizing room. There were lots of people when we went, but it made the ambiance feel nice. Great spot to come with friends, family, or any large group. Street parking available.

Pistachio and chill voyage
Olivia H.

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to! I got their two current specials (the chill voyage and the pistachio). They are beautiful desserts and the cafe is so aesthetic. There's seating indoors and outside and street parking or neighborhood parking nearby. Everyone was really friendly too and patient while I decided what to get. For the actual desserts, they are so creamy while also being dairy free! They're light, not too sweet, and the toppings add texture and more flavor making them the perfect treat. The only downside is that they are quite pricey for the size so they're more of a specialty than a regular treat.

Matcha
Cindy C.

We got the matcha bingsoo and it was so good! I liked how strong the matcha flavor was and the softness of the ice. It also wasn't overly sweet. It was a bit hard parking and finding the store. The cashier was so friendly and helpful with recommendations. I would come back to try their other flavors!

Spring Seasonal Flavor: Jasmine Green Tea Shaved Ice
Delilah S.

I parked across the street to visit Trader Joe's and remembered I had been wanting to try Mewame! When I walked in, the space was moody and clean. The staff member was kind and friendly as well as patient when it came to me trying to decide which flavor to try. I chose the Spring Seasonal Flavor which happened to be Jasmine Green Tea and it was incredibly delicious. Sweet, fragrant, and light. It made for a perfect blend that was refreshing and smooth. I thought the texture of the shaved ice was really interesting and melted in a soft serve way. Overall, highly recommend. Absolutely worth a try for vegans and non-dairy people alike.

Starting off, the service was nice and quick. Very aesthetically pleasing interior. Tables were a bit dirty, needed to wipe down but expected at dessert place. As for the dessert itself it was okay. We got the hojicha and jasmine green milk shaved ice. Tbh they were both okay. They had the flavor profile that they weee trying to present, the shaved ice is different texture then what I'm used to having. Idk if I love it but it's not bad; however, I think would much rather have had it in drink form. That being said, I was between a 3 and 4 but mewame is such a tough name I had to give them a 4. Very good interior design too!

We both ordered their "shaved ice" which comes with coconut whipped cream and a gluten-free cookie on top. Unfortunately, both of the items were underwhelming. There wasn't anything that especially stood out to me. Great service though -- the staff were very kind! Ordered... Houjicha ($9.00 -- special collaboration with Rocky's Matcha) -- rocky's matcha houjicha, madagascar vanilla, oat, and houjicha powder. Strawberry ($8.50) -- strawberry & strawberry powder.

Inside
Maria A.

I can't stop thinking about this coconut cream matcha smoothie, it always hits the spot and is so satisfying and refreshing while not being too sweet. Small little cafe tucked away but it is definitely yummy! Their shaved ice is also delicious! Service fast and friendly and it hasn't gotten too crazy packed.

Came here with a friend for a post meal dessert. Street parking on Santa Monica is tough (and metered!) but there is free street parking on the side street this is located on if you're good to walk a bit. Seating is exclusively indoors and its limited BUT mewame is right next to a small outdoor park where you can take your dessert to-go and eat at! Matcha shaved ice 4.5/5, this was delicious and I would definitely would come again! It's more of a traditionally bitter green tea tasting matcha flavor and the hints of coconut throughout add some sweetness. Each portion is big enough to share for two!

Matcha and jasmine tea
Tiffany M.

So far only tried the matcha flavor but I loved it. Will definitely be back to try other flavors. Service was great! The girl at the front was friendly and our order was done quick. Really loved how the matcha was not very sweet which balanced out well with the sweet cream on top. This spot is small and cute, really enjoyed coming here with friends.

blue yuzu, pistachio (seasonal flavor)
Courtney W.

Quick service! Cute store, limited seating but there are tables outside! Nice staff. Always looks so aesthetically pleasing! This is my new favorite dessert shop. Love the flavors. Street parking available with metered parking. Usually enough spots to park, have never had a hard time here.

Camilla at the register was welcoming and my order came out fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the croissant was stale and tasted old, almost like it had been sitting in a basket with other food and absorbed an odd taste. I politely asked if I could exchange it for a bagel, which was actually cheaper, and told Camilla I didn't care about the price difference. When she went to ask the kitchen staff they proceeded to talk badly about me in Spanish. At that point, I said forget it and asked for a refund. Somehow, that became a problem too. Camilla told me there was no manager and that she couldn't issue the refund, even after speaking with a woman who clearly appeared to be able to refund. I then asked Camilla for her name, and she repeatedly refused to give it to me. I had to ask for a receipt just to get the information. I also took a picture of the woman who was talking about me in Spanish. Because she also wouldn't share her name. No wonder the reviews are terrible. Stale food and terrible customer service.

I cannot thank this place enough for how quickly they were able to make a cake for my sisters…read morebirthday! I came in just 2 days before I needed the cake. It was extremely last minute and I was trying to find anything I could while also getting my sisters cake of choice. I found Cake Monkey Bakery online and they seemed very promising. I called and asked if they were able to do a cake within 2 days and to my surprise they said possibly! They asked me to send an email or to come in with an inspiration picture to see what they could do and they exceeded my expectations! First off, the place was lovely with the neon signs and beautiful pastries displayed. I was greeted very nicely by Esmerelda and Nancy and told them my situation. They told me it's no worries and that they were able do the design of the cake with the exact color in no time! They asked a few questions and showed me similar cakes they have done in the past and they looked great. They said they'll keep me updated if anything happens during the process. Coming back 2 days later was a breeze. They called me the day before to tell me I can pick it the time I requested. Again with a warm welcome, they showed me what the cake looked like and I was more than happy, it looked just like the one my sister wanted. Service, cake and timing 10/10, my sister was even more happy with it. So again, thank you so much Cake Monkey Bakery and especially to Esmerelda and Nancy! I appreciate you guys!

The chocolate chip cookie with rice krispies "Summer Camp Chip" ($4.25) has delicious flavor and if you enjoy soft & chewy with a slight crisp, they hit all textural marks for excellence. This has become our absolute favorite snack to get here and I gots to have it every time I'm in. The chocolate pop tart is solid. We prefer the taste of this to the brownie cookie...we aren't big on that one. I had such high hopes because I love brownies and obvi love cookies, but alas, personal taste preference. The chocolate cake pudding ($4.25) is a rich and decadent treat that can be eaten right out of the wrapper it comes in! I was surprised I loved this chocolate cake soaked in chocolate custard with a few marshmallows and caramel on top. The Peanut Butter El Rollo is a tiny but cute little guy at $5.50. They make their own peanut buttercream for the inside filling and the chocolate is just wonderful. I like their bars One of my favorite things at Cake Monkey is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cakewich. This mini cakes are just $5.75 and individually wrapped so make for great little gifts to bring to a housewarming or event. Plus it's gluten-free and vegan so all our friends can enjoy it! Cakewiches for the win at Cake Monkey Bakery! I've only tried the Matcha Latte in the drink department here and was satisfied with it. I'd like to try some of their fizzy drinks but they were out of tonic water this morning. Next time! And there will definitely be another time with Cake Monkey Bakery! They just have SO MANY options here, it's easy to find multiple baked goods you can enjoy here. I'm a fan.

I walked up to the window and the worker was hunched over the cooler on his phone, took one glance at me and went back to his phone. No greeting, no acknowledgment, not a single word. I took a moment to check the menu and waited a few more moments in the hopes that he looked up at me - he didn't. I should've just walked away at this point. But I didn't. I said I was ready and asked what flavors he recommends since it's my first time. "Well you can sample the flavors" . . . Me: "oh I know but I'm curious what YOU recommend" So finally he offered the birthday cake and I asked for a sample of the milk moon too. I went with the split scoop for $10 but an extra charge for the seasonal flavor so it came out to $11. I will say - the portion is generous and the presentation is nice. The worker was a little bit more talkative upon bringing my cup and the card reader to pay. But it didn't make up for the initial interaction, or lack thereof. The flavors are pretty mild but the moon milk definitely had the floral and "spiced" flavor to it. It was interesting and different than most ice cream around LA but nothing that made me go "wow" and want to get it again. The vanilla was very mild and tasted more like a milk flavor. Both scoops were creamy and smooth without being too sweet. The birthday cake I sampled was very sweet so I'm glad I didn't choose that. Overall it just wasn't impressive for me to return and the service aspect doesn't help the situation
