    warm warm Taiwanese dessert chain a few minutes walk from Finch Station great signature combination of pearls, small taro balls and peanuts altogether in the hot herbal jelly base! Love the nice crunch of the peanuts matching the chewiness of the huge taro chunk, and tapioca! The bowl might look kind of small but it's definitely super filling!!! Especially the taro, there were 2 big chunks of them that were cooked nice and soft! great bowl to share between 2 people They have a super large selection of dessert (both cold and hot) or you can also customize the different combinations too! I definitely recommended to try out the warm desserts to warm up this winter~ Hot Meet Fresh Signature - 8.70 (Grass Jelly + Taro Balls + Pearls + Peanuts)

    Went to Meet Fresh with my friend to get dessert after dinner. If you leave a 5 star review they also give you a popsicle with your purchase. It was fast , convenient and delicious! Will be back for sure

    The is my go to Asian dessert place. We ordered Taro mochi cake today. It's moist and flavourful and not too sweet. The most impressive thing was that when I first arrived, I was welcomed with a lovely smile by the staff, Mon. She patiently explained the menu to me. I enjoyed the friendliness here on top of the delicious food!

    Love MeetFresh and I’m happy that this location gives good quality milk tea! Can’t wait to try the ube shaved ice and other unique flavors. I did find the mini taro balls to be very mushy and not chewy at all. The cafe is very clean, modern and spacious. The female staff working was friendly!

    Fantastic shaved ice with plenty of condensed milk and other toppings, great portion size too unlike other similarly priced places. Highly recommend

    Very disappointed!!! And waste of money! I cannot believe I spent over ten dollars on it and when I got home it’s all melted (it’s 0 degree today) I had this so many times in Hong Kong and never had a problem like this before. (I already requested no ice)

    This is a great location - ample seating and great ambience. Portions are huge and are really worth the cost; one shaved ice could honestly be good for three people. Lots of flavour, fruits were great quality, and the order came out really quick. Prices may intimidate you, but rest assured that you are getting your money’s worth! They have some card games and Jenga too! I would come back again to this location.

    Never really liked this location but decided to give me a second chance. The texture of the tofu pudding is a little off and not sweet enough The hot drinks are half hot half cold. The taro balls are not chewy just mushy Prob will not come back

    I go to Meet Fresh whenever I crave for taro balls. This place serves the best taro and taro ball shaved ice dessert! The dine-in portions are much larger than take out portions for the same price. I ordered the taro ball #4 dessert and added tofu pudding as a topping. It definitely hit the spot on a hot summer day!

    My go-to spot for Taiwanese desserts! They offer both hot and cold options for their desserts and a very wide variety of desserts—so there’s definitely an option for everyone. Service is quite quick for cold desserts, while warm desserts may take a bit more time as they heat them up. Over the years this location has changed quite a bit. They used to have the ground floor (now Hazukido) and their taro paste used to be like a really thick mashed taro vs. now it’s a very runny paste. Their desserts still haven’t changed though, still delicious and nice sharables!

    I ordered the Ube shaved ice large size, the portion is enough for three to four people. There are many ingredients and it is a great balance of flavour.

  • 5/5 Nisha A. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved the ambience of the store. You can sit at the window side and look outside and work while ordering some of the nice ice-cream related items, beens and tofu based soups and much more. It was my first time to visit the place along with my friend. You also have small indoor games to play like jenga, chess, 4 dice etc.

    Visited twice so far. Today is my second time. Pricey but very good quality dessert. I always order the signature one #1. I would highly recommend. Great dessert to cool down on a warm day like today!!

  • 5/5 Stephanie K. 9 months ago on Google
    My favourite dessert for summer. Big portions, tidy and cozy sitting area.

  • 1/5 Marlon C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time trying out this place and it was such a bad experience. Paid 20 bucks for a shaved ice that was only served until I came to check in for my order after 20 minutes. It turned out that no one made it. They apologized and said it will be ready in 2 minutes. They only served it after 10 minutes. Usually, other shops would give something extra to make up for very bad customer service. But, they didn't. They simply served the dish and said "sorry again for the long wait". Very disappointing.

    Worst bubbletea place after Real Fruit.. maybe they are at the same level lolll The worst thing is you don’t get the freedom to adjust sugar level. For example, winter melon is sweet itself but they don’t let you go below 50% sugar🤮 toooo sweet. Even their dessert i asked them to omit the condensed milk and they said it’s fixed they cant. Why cant they just “not pour the condensed milk” loll is it that hard? I would enjoy more if there was freedom for customers with sweet options. Hence, i don’t come here anymore after 2 visits. And they are overpriced.

    Everything was very good, my family and myself enjoyed the dessert so far. One thing I couldn't give 5 star is the things inside, not so many or by the other hand, very lack of stuffings, mostly are the black jelly pudding. Compared to Zen Q near DoubleTree Hilton Hotel, it is much worse if you have tried Zen Q.

    I love their grass jelly. However, my friend said that the taro ball is somewhat hard to chew. I think because we came there kinda late, they just opened and defrost them. I prefer the hot rather than cold. It is not hot at all, just without ice. The cold one is like a bingsu bowl.

  • 5/5 Scarlett L. 2 years ago on Google
    I love taro flavoured desserts. To me, the thing that makes Meet Fresh stand out above other traditional Taiwanese dessert shops is that they have several options on their menu with taro. My favourite item from them is the taro ball max, which comes with taro rice balls, taro paste, 2 types of sweet potato rice balls and tapioca pearls. I've also ordered other items from their menu, including the purple rice soup with taro balls, the taro paste pudding cake with Q mochi, and the egg pudding with Q mochi combo. All of the items are delicious and fresh. There are still many more desserts from Meet Fresh that I'd love to try. Will definitely come back again.

    Cute little dessert cafe with unique options amid a whole street of bubble tea... Meet Fresh is a Taiwanese dessert shop that specializes in chewy taro balls and fresh tasting herbal-inspired desserts. I have been here a few times and to their international locations and it is always a pleasant and light finisher to my evening's meals. They also have unique drink specials that come around - like their current Ube line. Happy to come back

    Store is clean and service is ok Good portions, great presentation. My favourite is the icy grass jelly bowl.

  • 1/5 nghia John H. 2 years ago on Google
    Worst customer service ever. We order almost a 100$ worth of desert and the female counter attendant treat as if we are some weird tourist, she got annoyed for anything we said. Would never come back or recommend for anybody. Stinky service Friday Dec 24 at 12.20pm

  • 3/5 LAK F. 2 years ago on Google
    Ambiance is great. Not sure how I feel about the desserts. It may be an acquired taste. Their bubble tea looks good, I should've ordered that instead, maybe next time.

  • 1/5 Elisa T. 2 years ago on Google
    Too much ice and winter melon juice too watery. Overpriced for the drink even after but one get one 1/2 off. Felt disappointed for not letting customer choose less sweet for the drink and the staffs are not friendly. They filled up the drink with all ice and I asked them less ice , she just told me I already made it. Won't go back.

    This place used to be a bit bigger as you could order downstairs and eat upstairs, but seeing that it is owned by the same org as Hazukido, I think they made a good business decision to have Hazukido downstairs and MeetFresh upstairs. The taro balls and the cold grass jelly here is really nice, and I often buy takeout from here. My only gripe is the price, which I understand is getting higher due to higher shipping costs, but man closing in on 10 bucks feels like a lot especially when you know how much it costs in Asia. Still, I totally understand where they're coming from, so it doesn't bother me too much. Nice spot to hang out with friends too!

  • 2/5 Jane S. 2 years ago on Google
    Got their signature grass jelly. Definitely not worth it. It is essentially grass gelly and glutinous balls with ice underneath...

  • 5/5 Naia Nicole Bael Aquino (nini’s c. 2 years ago on Google
    The best place to get shaved ice with taro paste! Recommend getting the q mochi shaved ice or the jumbo taro shaved ice! Staff are nice and servings are huge!

  • 5/5 Kamran A. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious deserts and amicable environment. Though the host may need a little more courteous training.

  • 5/5 Su Y. 8 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Delicious Jumbo Ube Milk Shaved Ice. Super refreshing with lots of different toppings. Perfect for two to share.
