“Wow!! $7 for super large fresh pennywort, kumquat, jackfruit, durian, to more Asian fruit drinks!!! Wish this place was closer to me!! Sugar cane and kumquat is a popular choice and I can see why. The SO loved it but I would ask for a little less sugar cane taste for just myself in the future. I got the pennywort and young coconut which came with some coconut pieces and no sweetener!! Love that! Great for sugar free drinkers. But next time, I'll ask to pay to try a little bit of sugar cane to balance the taste out for myself. They also sell bunch of fruits, ready to eat precut fruits and snacks! $10 for large container of jackfruit!! Super friendly lady.Parking: Plenty of spots. But it's difficult to get into this plaza during traffic times. Located on the corner of 2 busy streets. But there is a driveway opening from both streets. Store is located on first floor.I'll be back!!“
“The owners are very friendly and atmosphere is relaxed. I ordered the Mamey Shake and Chicken (Spinach Tortilla) wrap?✨✨My man ordered the Chicken Ciabatta Chipotle Sandwich and for a drink, it had Mango, Orange, and Carrot?✨✨Satisfying Portions.Perfect for a day out and loads of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner✨10/10 recommend to everyone that enjoys fresh, delicious meals and drinks reasonably priced.Parking: Parking is in back of restaurant✨“
“Love to eat here and it’s such a fun and friendly atmosphere. I come here every week!But i wish there was more clarity on what is completely vegan (topping-wise) im always told something different and its like playing russian rouletteDietary restrictions: Clarification on VEGAN items. Signs or something“
“Amazing shop, our favorite boba place and we come here weekly. The owner and staff are so friendly and always remember us. Our favorite drink is the Viva Mango it has plum flavoring and Tajin! The perfect salty/sweet flavoring, So good! I also recommend the Coconut Pandan. I always get 50% sweetness but my kids prefer full sweetness. All the drinks are very different, so if you try one that is not your favorite, visit again and try another. They are sure to have something you enjoy and you cannot beat the great customer service.“
“I tried this restaurant for the first time and ordered the Bulgogi Rice Bowl and it was amazing. The price is well worth it because the food comes in big portions. The lady there was very sweet and we got our food pretty quickly. The place was empty but everything was clean. I absolutely recommend eating there!Parking: There are lots of shops nearby so parking right outside the restaurant might be a little difficult.“
“I enjoy the flavors and toppings. More healthier selections to choose from. The staff and owners (Pablo and his wife) are awesome, informative and accommodating!! And as long as they are open for business, I will only be getting my frozen yogurt from them.“
“From the moment I stepped into C & R Fresh Foods, I was greeted with a warmth and hospitality that is all too rare these days. The owner, an embodiment of kindness and attentiveness, went above and beyond to ensure my visit was nothing short of exceptional. It's not just the food that makes C & R Fresh Foods stand out--it's the heart and soul poured into every aspect of the customer experience. The sandwiches, oh the sandwiches! They were a revelation in freshness and flavor, crafted with ingredients that speak of quality and care. Each bite was a testament to the dedication behind the counter, making it clear that this isn't just food; it's a passion. And then there were the smoothies--simply put, some of the best I've ever had. Each sip was a burst of fresh, vibrant flavors, perfectly blended to create a symphony in a cup. It's evident that C & R Fresh Foods doesn't compromise when it comes to quality, and these smoothies are a delicious testament to that commitment. In a world where the personal touch is often lost, C & R Fresh Foods stands as a shining example of what happens when excellence meets empathy. The owner Marco is not just running a business; they're nurturing a community, one satisfied customer at a time. If you're looking for a place that combines the best of taste, quality, and human kindness, look no further. C & R Fresh Foods is a gem that deserves every accolade and then some.“
“Went here with a business associate for a super late lunch and was surprised at the options. We were both starving but had a long drive back home, so wanted something filling but still light enough to not cause food coma.The customizable options made it easy to order. Both of us split a bowl and mushrooms tacos on gluten free tortillas. They splits -plated our food so that was really nice that we did not have to.The Tacos had amazing flavors, we asked to add pickled onions to additional tang. It was great.The bowl with tofu and brown rice, while good could use a little bit more flavoring. We got the dressing on the side that added some depth, but I feel something else can be added to the bowl to up the umami flavors.Overall a good choice. Pricing was a bit on th higher side , unfortunately, in-line with most places these days.Vegetarian options: Very customizable options.“
“100% Plant Based! It is AMAZING to have a vegan place like this in the area. Quality food, SUPER Fresh! The owner of the place is super nice and the vibes inside are great! 10/10 and the prices are also super fair with large portions. If you have not been here you need to check it out! Ive been a few times now and am always impressed!“
“Hidden gem of El Monte for healthy eating. Just steps from the courthouse and Open Sundays ? stopped by for our favorite Acai bowls and charcoal lemonade. Never a wait when you can call in your order. Was pleasantly surprised to see the expansion of the eating area with more tables for dining in. We've been patrons for over 2 years and we have always been greated with great service and quality food. When the option for healthy eating is available in our community, we chose Andreas ?We support small woman owned businesses with positive impacts in a healthy way of life.“
“Loved the variety of ingredients that they had, Great location with lots of parking. The staff was very helpful and very willing to help us out and try our samples. Jedah the staff was very friendly and Norman was very informative about every single ingredient. I would recommend this place for first timers and people who get a lot of açaí! There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Would recommend this place!“
“Was craving fruit tea after the 626 market and found this spot on the map!I tried the house fruit tea with lychee jelly and no sugar and my boyfriend got a mango latte with boba and 50% sweetness. Both were honestly so good!! The mango latte was creamy and sweet and my house fruit was such a nice blend of fruit - it had pieces of strawberries, passion fruit seeds, and slices of lemon and lime. It's cute and cozy in here and there are some good restaurants in this shopping center. And the staff are friendly and helpful right when you walk in. They also do a weekly raffle for boba plushies!“
“If the review was solely about drinks, then I'd give it a 5 star. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. However, the parking lot in the back gets pretty dark after 5:30. However, please fix your kiosk system. There was a service fee on top of 10.25% tax for ordering the drinks yourself on the machine. Do better. Don't treat your loyal customers like garbage. It was extremely disappointing when I had to get told by your staff that they won't be able to refund the drinks.I was never taxed when I order directly from your cashier... and I had to pay a service fee for ordering myself. I was extremely disappointed.“
“Loooved this acai bowl place! They're located in Blossom Market Hall.We got a 24 oz bowl for $16 and it was enough to share between two. I chose an acai / coconut base, with chia pudding. Both the acai and coconut layers were SO refreshing! We topped it off with every fruit selection they had, and overall it was a nice balance :)Selections for toppings are pretty standard, though other acai spots I've been to have definitely had a broader selection. They have options between peanut or almond butter, granolas, and other plant seeds.Service was quick and prompt, and there's lots of seating in the market itself!“
“Best location in town for acai bowls and smoothies!!! Highly recommend Veranos!! I can’t get enough of the #25 with a scoop of vanilla protein !Dietary restrictions: Very macro friendlyParking: Can get tough with parking just because it’s shared with other businesses. The times I’ve gone I was able to find parking with no problem at all“
“The most delicious breakfast sandwich I've ever had. So many vegan/veggie options for my friend too. Next time I'ma have the yogurt granola and the chocolate Abuelita. The vibes are perfect too - beautiful art, cozy indoors, fresh plants “

“Tried this spot in early Dec and loved the prices, indoor and outdoor seating options, and the generous and friendly staff. Glad I finally tried it! I got the pesto sandwich (most popular item) with the side of fruit and for ~$10 it was a good deal.“
“Well I know what's going to be my new acai bowl place!! I finally tried one of their bowls today and it was absolutely delicious! It tasted super fresh and use cappahaden Coconut they used was like kind of chewy which was so yummy on the top. The service is a little bit slower than your usual asahi bowl place but I didn't mind too much because the food was fantastic! I will definitely be back! And even better it's only like 7 minutes away from my house!“
“I tried the My Sweet Heart and Jasmine Blossom. I love that they crafted speciality drinks that alrdy include toppings. The my sweet heart is milk tea mixed with rose. They actually use rose petals and probably a bit syrup because the drink has a hint of pink coloring. The boba is the perfect chewy texture and the sweetness level was good too. The jasmine blossom was refreshing and I love the mix of fruitiness with the aloe Vera. They have a self order machine but there is someone that can also take your order if you want to pay cash. I came mid day on a Friday and they only had one person on staff so if you don't use the self order, it can be a bit of a wait. The tea shop is cute and has a lot of seatings. The aesthetics of the shop is very cute and ig worthy haha.“
“Gelato Amore Mio offers exceptional service and desserts at great prices. Their homemade ice cream and gelato are must-tries. The crêpe with strawberries, mango, whipped cream, Nutella, Lechera, and coconut gelato was my favorite. Highly recommended for a top-notch dessert experience!“
“Shout out to the guy who delivered my drink to my car! It was super packed so I decided to wait for my drink in the car. When my drink was finished one of the workers came to my car to hand me my drink. I thought that was super nice and he went above and beyond. Also the cups are super adorable!“
“The protein coffee are amazing. One of the employees gave us a sample of one of their protein drinks. Which I believe was the peanut butter banana. It was delicious. Uptown Vibe is not just a cafe; it's a destination for those seeking a healthier alternative to their coffee and snack cravings. I highly recommend giving it a try - you won't be disappointed!“
“Never knew a shop like this existed let alone knew what Coconut jelly King was all about. We were visiting the HMART market in Arcadia and noticed the Coconut Jelly King at the Food Court. Judging by their menu they mainly specialize in drinks and jelly made with coconut but they had other items on their menu. We got the Pineapple Coconut Jelly and the double Coconut jelly to try out. They were packed in a dessert jars and refrigerated. To be clear Asian jelly is made with Agar or Arrowroot. It is not Jello which is made with gelatin derived from animals. The Pineapple Coconut Jelly had shredded Pineapple base topped with Coconut Jelly made with slightly sweetened Coconut milk. I like Pineapple I thought it would be my favorite. I liked the Double Coconut Jelly a lot more. The base was a jelly made with Coconut Water and topped with Coconut jelly made with sweetened Coconut Milk. The dessert itself was light and refreshing. The flavors were subtle but it was delicious and turned out to be my favorite. iCYMI, Coconut milk is made from steeping dried Coconut flesh and is usually sweetened for drinks or desserts. It also is used for used as a base for Curries. I just found that they have a location in Lad Vegas so I'll be stopping by soon and try some different flavors. Sorry Yelpers. I totally forgot to take pics.“
“I stopped by randomly at night, and it was empty. The decor was nice and vibrant. With lots of anime stuff, which is awesome to me as an Otaku. I ordered the mango passion fruit lemonade. It was made quickly and to perfection. The level of sweetness to tartness was spot on. The lady asked me to taste it before I left to ensure I liked my drink. I told her it was perfect. This particular location has had many tea owners inhabit it, but hopefully, this place is around for a long while. I wanna try lots of other delicious drinks!“
“If you like protein shakes and açaí bowls then this is the best place. Their açaí bowls taste fresh and they have a great selection of toppings. The protein shakes are great and my favorite one is the green hulk. Would highly recommend.“
“This place is a hidden gem. I went in for an Açaí bowl for lunch and it was one of the best. The fruit toppings were so fresh and the Açaí base was delicious. The owner Eugene was there and he asked me what I thought about the food. I really liked the Rio bowl.I told my daughters about the organic Juice dude because they like to get snacks in town after school on Fridays. I am so happy knowing that the kids will eat or drink items that are healthy and refreshing. The kids raved about the Açaí bowl and that the store gave them a 15% percent discount because they are students. Thank you for the great food and service.“
“bf and I went looking for something healthy after our hike and discovered this gem! The service is great and friendly, and the food is excellent! I had the strawberry salad and he had the chicken chipotle sandwich with side salad. The food was made well, all the fruit and greens were fresh and delicious! We were both very happy.“

“Vita Cane is a great entry point for sugarcane juice. The sponsored result on Yelp piqued my interest, so we came by to take advantage of the Buy 3 Get 1 Free Promotion. My cousin and I ordered the Vita Cane 50/50, Aloha Sunrise, Durian 50/50, and the free Coco Jack. My favorites were the Vita Cane 50/50 and Durian 50/50, followed by the Aloha Sunrise, then Coco Jack. The Vita Cane 50/50 was very refreshing. The Durian 50/50 had a great durian flavor and was not too sweet. The pineapple flavor was too subtle in Aloha Sunrise. Coco Jack was too sweet and not memorable. In all of the drinks, the sugarcane was more subtle. While I liked the drinks, I prefer CocoCane in Garden Grove because the sugarcane flavor is stronger and better balanced in all of their drinks. That being said, I would come back if I'm in the area because they have several locations and it is convenient. Don't forget to check in on Yelp for a free topping :)“
“Decided to treat myself to a milk tea after a run and looked up local boba shops in the area and came across Moo Tea. I got a regular milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice and it was good! The tea flavor was definitely present but not as strong as other places in the area. If you're a bit more sensitive towards sweetness in your drinks, I would stick with 25% as I found the 50% to be a bit too sweet for me. I came at around 4 PM on a Sunday and the store was empty so the service was undeniably quick. There's a kiosk to order from so you can take your time and look through the menu. Overall, a good experience and would come back!“
“the staff inside were soo nice and the food is simple and healthy but delicious! got the pesto sandwich with chicken and a caesar salad and it was great. was also out really quick. oh, and i got their blueberry lemonade and it was actually so good. 10/10“
“This is truly a hidden gem. The biónicos here are amazing. We visit at-least once a week and we are always greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. We visit with my 3 year old daughter and they always acknowledge her and give her their undivided attention. The food is great and the ambiance is nice and cozy. I recommend everyone try this place.“
“Food: The food here was spot on! I thought this place wouldn't be that good, but once you try out these food items. It's like your tastebuds are in heaven. OMGGG. I would definitely recommend the Breakfast Sampler and the Omelette because these are one of the Customer Favorites here in Starlight Cafe, SG. The drink I ordered was an Iced Latte and it was just a little too strong for me. But the main attraction for me was the food and I'll give it a 5/5. Service: Staff was nice, helpful and welcoming. Thank you to the chefs who cooked our meal. The presentation was very beautiful. Almost like a Fine Dining Restaurant. Ambiance: Felt like a futuristic cafe once you enter through the doors of the because of the perfect lighting. Great place to hang and have a bite with your friends and/or family. Parking: Parking is a little weird and bad because the way the Markers are on the parking is slanted and you think that there is a way out on the other side but no... you have to back up and exit out. So far, that is the only downside for this Starlight Cafe. But overall experience was AMAZING! Thank you.“

“The protein waffles are delicious, is a must try item that they offer. Or if you’re looking for more a of a drink they also offer a variety of protein shakes . The environment is friendly and this place is really clean. I’ve been coming here for the past year and the service is excellent I highly recommend it, and if you do come ask for Elisa she is awesome .“
“What a great donut spot. Staff is friendly and always great you with a smile. The ambiance is your classic donut shop with a glass case to view your doughnuts as you make your selections. They have refrigerates that store your cold drinks like juice, chocolate milk, milk etc. of course they serve coffee for those of you who want one with your donut and they also sell breakfast sandwiches. We usually go for the donuts. Donuts are great. We've had everything from glazed, maple bars, chocolate bars, cake donuts and of course the traditional donut holes. Every donut is very good. You can't go wrong with any one you pick. Looking for a donut and cup of coffee, give this place a try. Oh! You can also buy lotto tickets as well. Stay hungry my friends.“
“NO BREAKFASTShowed up for breakfast sandwiches & the menu changed, they did not have breakfast options. This was the only reason for 4 stars rather than 5.I ordered the lavender oat latte without sweet foam & the farmers market sandwich. The latte was the perfect sweetness & the sandwich had super fresh ingredients & warm focaccia.It was almost $50 for 2 lattes & 2 sandwiches but the ambiance was great. Very clean with lots of natural light & roomy tables. A great place to get some work done.“
“I love this place so much!! The prices are reasonable. You can make your pho a large for a small price. The fried shrimp egg rolls came out hot and fresh.FYI - they put the rare steak into the pho rather than on the side. If you want your meat rare then ask for it on the side.“
“10/10, I would recommend! It is lovely and the atmosphere is very positive! The decors and the unique dish specials it offers illustrate Thai cuisines with some modern innovations. The lunch special is unforgettable with exquisite tates and a variety of side dishes that come with it. Take a chance to eat the lunch specials before 3pm. It is about 11 dollars for the choice with a tea. It brought back memorable childhood memories! Try it with friends and loved ones!“

“This bagel shop concept is so cool! I'm from NY and love a good bagel spot so this place felt like the perfect local gem. I met the owner Ryan he was super friendly! The speciality drinks sounded so yummy and seem like they're constantly trying new flavors. I want to come back for their ube latte and cereal latte! I noticed they had a pizza bagel and saw they have mini pizza boxes to put those specific menu item in-so clever! I love how the menu looks like a stock exchange board. Definitely worth stopping by and trying anything on their menu. So many options, so many ways to customize it. And there's lots of street parking up front or around the corner.“
“SunRight - ArcadiaI made a mistake with my order, but it was corrected, and I even received an additional drink! I offered to pay for my mistake, but they insisted on covering it due to company policies. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, thank you, Karman, for your professional approached and outstanding customer service!“
“I'm a regular here along with my significant other. We enjoy the consistency of the drinks and the very friendly staff. We're always nicely greeted and the drinks are good. If I ever don't like something they just make it again no hesitation, but that's only happened maybe 2 times out of the many many other times we go here. My favorite drinks are the lychee milk tea and the strawberry milk tea.“
“This spot has been on my list to try for a while now and I was so glad that I finally got the chance to stop by! Podong is a uniquely Korean inspired boba shop with some of the most interesting drink concoctions. This spot is located in a plaza with a good amount of parking spots and you can find it next to the Gold's gym. Once you walk in, you'll be greeted by a modern nostalgic street style type of interior. They do a great job of juxtaposing nostalgic and retro themes with modern and streetwear ones. As for their drinks, they have such a variety to choose from. Wifey and I opted for the Korean pear slush and the injeolmi slush and both were super refreshing with flavors uniquely Korean. The staff here are awesome and very friendly. We will definitely be back to try their other drinks next time we're in the area!“
“I love coming here for my açaí bowl fix! The service is always very quick and the staff is friendly. I haven't tried very much açaí shops but this place is by far my favorite. I got the build your own and didn't want toppings so the worker offered more fruits. The places I've been to the past have never offered me more fruits to substitute the lack of toppings, so I really appreciated that.“
“definitely need to come back to try the rest of their options (:the original pancakes have a light sweet taste (like a hush puppy), they also have an red bean pancake option but i’m a passionate red bean hater so i passed on that the strawberry milk frappe was a little bit on the tangier side as well as more on the watery side. i had expected it to be thicker consistency since frappes tend to be thicker liquid but i did get it with almond milk rather than the regular milk ? other than that, it was still consumablegreen grape snow top tasted like world peace ? ? ?it tasted like natural grape and not the artificial kind that you taste in juice or soda and was surprisingly not sour?i did prefer this one over the strawberry milk frappe ?it is a bit of a tiny shop so i don’t recommend going inside during packed hours (weekends) if you’re claustrophobic or just hate human interactionthe cashier was very sweet !my total was around $22Dietary restrictions: have different milk options for those who are weak like me and will explode if having lactose milk ?Parking: on fair oaks there’s a parking garage garage where the first two hours is only $1 (:“

“I've been coming here for years. I have an aunt that lives nearby so I always treat myself to a lil biónico whenever I'm on this side of town or a large green juice with ginger when I'm in my healthy era lol. Staff is very friendly and can make anything for you as long as they have it. They also have a bunch of snacks you can only get in Mexico. So nice to see a local Mexican spot thriving. Check them out“
“I think the best thing about this place is the design and aesthetic. If you look at the photos, you can tell that it's definitely pleasing to the eye. As for the coconut jelly that they serve, it's not bad, but it could use some improvement. My friend ordered the STRAWBERRY COCONUT JELLY. They use fresh strawberries, but they're the waxy, kind of tasteless ones that the big chain supermarkets carry. I think the owner should consider regularly getting seasonal fruit from one of the nearby farmer's markets. I ordered the WHOLE COCONUT JELLY mainly because of the look of it. Of course, inherently, coconut is a little bland, so I'm curious to find out if the other options - like pineapple, mango or durian - succeed in giving the satisfaction of sweetness and flavor. One other small criticism of this place is that - at least by the time that I went - they hadn't put a trashcan in the dining area. Instead, I had to hand my trash to the person behind the counter. I suggested that they put a trash can somewhere, but they seemed disinterested. So, if you have a tissue or some chewing gum that you want to discard, I guess you have to either get rid of it in the restroom or hand it to staff.“

“After our lunch meal at Tofu Bean Koren BBQ in Rowland Heights, we wanted to go have dessert. One of my youngest brother checked the surrounding area and found Coconut Jelly King just a block away. We drove on over to check them out.This was my first time visit. They specialize in coconut jelly with various topping in a jar. They also sell a few other specialty items such as durian crepe, waffle pancake, mango pomelo sago, young coconut, etc. I ended up ordering several different topping flavors... red bean, hazelnut chocolate, mango, taro, swallow nest, black sesame walnut, single coconut jelly. They come in a pretty good size glass jar that can be reused at home for storage. I had to try their durian crepe as I love durian anything LOL. I must have my king of fruits! And I wanted to try the mango pomelo sago.Single coconut jelly was light and not too sweet... it was very good! Mango pomelo sago was okay... mango pieces were not sweet and tapioca was a little firmer than I would have liked. Durian crepe was good, however, the durian was not smooth and custardy.Staff was okay. Interior was cute... it had some interesting wall art. Tables, chairs, and bar stools are available for seating. They have one all gender restroom in the back room. Prices are a tad high depending on the item. But if you haven't tried them, at least try them once. If it's worth it, then do splurge a little. You only live once. Btw, they also have a location in Alhambra if Rowland Heights is not close to you. I'll have to check out that location since I'm out that way most of the time. See you there!“
“Boba St is walking distance from our home and I'm so excited that the drinks are tasty! We ordered a thai tea and mango swirl with popping boba. Service was great and welcoming. Great music. Loved the decors and cleanliness. We will come back to try the other drinks!“
“I love this place. Great customer service, atmosphere and selection of drinks when it comes to smoothies, boba, etc. Food selection is limited but not bad. It's great for either dining in or take out. I love coming from time to time and will continue coming back.“
“I loveee this tea place! It is tea forward, and has so many options. I try something new each time I am here. The toppings have great texture. My favorite combo so far is the golden phoenix oolong with oat milk, osthmanthus jelly, and lavender cream foam. It has been on my list since last year and so happy I finally was able to try it this year, so much that I've been 3 times and it is only March , LOL. Parking is covered lot, so yay it's easy. If you love tea sweets, come give them a try, I know I'll be back!“
“I stopped by Donut Plus, on my way to work this morning for a cup of coffee. The croissants looked so good in the display case. I thought I might give one a try. I had myself the Ham and cheese croissant. Wow, the croissant was really good! Nice and soft and great taste. I will be back for more. And the coffee want's bad at all.“
