Chewie & Mellow: Irvine’s Cutest Spot For Sweet Treats
If you're the kind of person who finds joy in playful desserts and cute aesthetics, Chewie & Mellow in Irvine might just be your new happy place. This charming dessert café is all about satisfying your sweet tooth and inner child.
Chewie & Mellow offers more than just good vibes and cute decor (though there's plenty of that too). Delivering refreshing desserts, fruit teas, and more. And right when you walk in you’ll notice the mystery blind boxes that you can purchase with your dessert. They're the perfect treat-yourself moment and fun way to add a little extra joy to your café visit.
What to Try
If you're unsure where to start, try the Mango Tango. It's light, refreshing, and packed with real mango, juicy grapefruit, chewy sago, soft jelly, and creamy coconut milk. It’s basically sunshine in a cup! I recommend opting for 70% sweetness for a more balanced and flavorful drink.
For something a little more indulgent, you have to try one of their Signature Dessert Bowls. These come loaded with a heavenly mix of pudding, boba, jelly, and chewy mochi. Every bite is a surprise of textures and flavors that keeps enticing you to go back for more. A bowl is ideal for sharing, but honestly, you might not want to!
If you’re not quite in the mood for fruit desserts, try the Oreo Mousse. A light and creamy treat topped with crushed Oreos.
Blind Box Heaven
One of the most unexpected (and honestly irresistible) features at Chewie & Mellow are the mystery blind boxes. These cute little surprises add an extra layer of fun to your visit.
Choose small, medium, large, or XL, each at varying prices. Each blind box is a sealed surprise, containing collectible figures that perfectly match the café’s adorable aesthetic. It’s the kind of touch that makes your dessert run feel more like a full experience.
Final Thoughts
Chewie & Mellow is perfect if you absolutely love sweet fruit desserts! Personally, I would stick to the mango or strawberry cups as they are easier to eat than the bowls. The dessert bowls are unique and fun, but I don’t think they are as flavorful as an actual drink. It’s all about what you prefer and what kind of flavors and textures you like.
So grab your dessert bestie, snap a few pics, and prepare for a new and sweet flavor adventure! You might just find yourself planning your next visit before you even leave (I know I did).
