I am a big fan of 빙수and shaved ice in general, so I was really excited to try Meet Fresh's 礤冰. My friend and I shared the red bean matcha shaved iced and we customized it to have a few extra toppings (~$20). We thought we were going to be able to finish it together, but we ended up discarding like a third of it because we got sick of it by the end. Topping wise, I'd get red bean and mochi again, would skip on the grass jelly, flan/caramel pudding, and Mini Taro Balls. While there was a lot of seating, it wasn't particularly clean (or always open). Folks tended to stay / hang out for a while, so you should plan to grab seating as soon as you can. read more

This place is still one of my go-to spots for desserts. The place has a wide range of options to choose from. We ordered a shaved ice and a Tofu soup dish this time around. The service is pretty quick, and the interior is pretty spacious. read more

Cute little meet fresh in this plaza. Plenty of parking and a few other restaurants so this is the perfect place for an after dinner dessert. Huge menu and fair prices but the service was a bit slow on the day we came and the tables could have used a bit of cleaning. read more

Went to Meet Fresh with my family and ordered a Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice with pudding and taro paste (~$20). It was really delicious! The ice cream added a nice creaminess, and it was a lot of fun trying each different component. Kind of reminded me of a halo halo with more mochi elements. For 5 people, using the small bowls provided by the restaurant, we were able to each have around 2 small bowls/1 large bowl. The main downside was that the restaurant was a little disheveled. There were a bunch of cardboard boxes and other things next to the seating near the front door and right outside the door which led to outdoor seating. The tables were also really messy. I guess they left sanitizing wipes for customers to serve themselves and clean their own tables? Not sure. Also it would be more convenient if the outside door leading to the outdoor seating was left unlocked, so customers can go in and out more easily than having to walk all the way around to the front door. Overall the shaved was great!!! Just not the best ambience. read more

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews because I've been to many Meet Fresh locations and I love this one. It's in a great plaza that's expanded a lot in recent years, super convenient for anyone in the Bel-Red area to get to with plenty of parking and dining options. They always get my order correct and the seating area is clean. There's a standard quality with their desserts so never a surprise what you will get. Our favorites are their shaved ice on a warm day - they're big so easily shareable, and anything with taro balls, sweet potato taro balls, or the new ube balls. Everyone seems to like something different and there are so many choices and combinations to choose, I'm sure you will find something you like. None of the desserts are too sweet but I like to reduce sweetness in my drinks. There is no longer a Meet Fresh near where I live so I cherish getting to go to this one occasionally. read more

The food was tasty and authentic. They forgot a topping in the soup. I rated 4 stars because there were a lot of dirty tables and we had to clean one up ourselves. The staff didn't take the time to clean and were standing around instead. Their trash can is a bit hidden too which might be a reason why the place is messier. read more

What happened? I grew up in Taiwan with a Meet Fresh right down the street from my childhood home. Love the brand, love its U.S.-version menu, never had a problem. We visited on Tuesday 12/5 around 8pm, two hours before closing. The staff were standing in the back -- no bother, they use kiosk orders now. I had a question about the menu and one of the ladies came swiftly to answer. Our to-go order came very quickly at the counter while my boyfriend realized that he forgot to select "Yes" for the bag option. We had two items plus a drink that was hard to carry all together, so we kindly asked for a plastic bag for a charge. A blank stare from the staff as though she didn't understand us. We spoke both Chinese and English. My boyfriend that he was happy to pay for a plastic bag since that seems to be the standard now, but the staff member simply ignored the request and refused to ring us up for a bag. Weird. The second problem from this visit was the food quality. Our grass jelly was missing a creamer single, which I thought came standard with the order. I am not too hung up on that but my boyfriend was pretty upset as anyone would be if their food item was missing an ingredient. On the other hand, the taro balls were hard and difficult to chew, almost plastic-y. The brand is known for this exact product, which makes it unacceptable to be an end-of-the-night bad batch issue. I will still return because no other dessert chains parallel Meet Fresh for me, but I sure am hoping for some improvements in both staff management and quality consistency. read more

Meet Fresh? You mean meet fast and frozen nothing fresh about the food. Crazy how they charge so much for simple desert that takes them less than 3 mins to bring our order out. The almond pudding soup is watered down. The mochi has no taste. The company has went to cheaper material. The Q mochi is trash don't buy that. Weird crap floating in our almond soup. We need a real desert place like the ones in BC. read more

Had Taro ice cream combo. The taste was 3/5. The place is noisy. Most of the noise is Asian language. The way in which tables are arranged, it is hard to navigate at times. If you want quiet place, this is not the one. Good for change. read more

Review in COVID times: This is a small place in Lake Hills (close to Lake Hills library) I'd say it's quite popular in this area and I get it, their boba tea tastes pretty good. Due to COVID you can't seat inside anymore, take out only. They've a regular cashier OR you can use their "digital front desk" by using their tablets and place your order friendly and quickly. Masks are mandatory, they do have sanitizer gel. My favorite choice in a cold day is the Hot Almond Drink with Boba read more

TL;DR: Nice post-meal or snack time dessert joint. Asian-level sweetness -- don't expect super sweet items. Parking: small private lot. Atmosphere: spacious dine-in area and the place generously has canisters of Clorox wipes for you to sanitize where you choose to seat yourself. Menu: Laminated and double sided physical menu with short descriptions on the side table next to the door. Menu is also on the Kiosk but it is photos only and no descriptions. Service: order at pay at the counter or a kiosk, your order number will be announce, pick up at the counter. There are paper bowls and utensils at the counter to share. Tofu Pudding with Rice Balls: satisfyingly and lightly sweetened soup with silky smooth tofu. The rice balls are delightfully chewy. I do wish there was an option to add ginger syrup or a stronger ginger flavor in here though. I really like this one served warm especially on cool evenings! Shaved Ice: I didn't order it (yet) but it is definitely something you should share because it's a really generous size! read more

Lots of potential here, needs better execution. Positives: nice space, drinks and Taiwanese desserts should be tasty. Negatives: oddities and poor execution - You can order on 2 in-store tablets or on your phone but on my visit the prices on the store tablets were in some cases much higher than on the website. For example the red bean milk shaved ice is $12 on the website, and was around $16 in store! They also seem to get a lot of orders wrong. My drink had ice but was not supposed to. My friend's drink was missing boba. The door to the outside seating area out back was locked from the outside, so if you wanted to come back inside to go to the restroom or something you had to go back to the front door. The boba was too soft and overcooked. Lots of easy fixes here I hope they'll address. read more

Overpriced food; slow service. The price of the desserts here has become out of control. I have observed the price hike in just a few years. The price hike was more than the inflation rate. I ordered online in advance, with the promise of being ready in 15 minutes. Turned out that my order wasn't ready until over 10 minutes later than the promised time. That defeated the purpose of online ordering in advance and caused unnecessary waste of time. read more

Rude service, we gave tips, but server was very rude yelling at customer, and say bad language while customer in store.

Ordering here is such a chore, especially using their app. Time and time again our ordered gets charged but then is promptly cancelled. Eventually it'll get refunded, but not until days later. It's been months since we placed an order and attempted to try the app once again and the exact issue happened yet again. It's frustrating to say the least. Ordering on the website poses similar problems as well. We've also had issues with our order not showing up on their system despite us having a confirmation number and the payment was charged. Either improve your online/app order systems or remove them entirely. It's been on ongoing problem for well over a year. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth and we just end up going elsewhere when we do not want to waste time playing around with their ordering systems or wait in a long line to order. read more

I have not been in for approximately 10 months because I moved away from Bellevue. I used to come frequently when I discovered how wonderful and easy to digest the food is here. Today I was pleased to see the familiar staff and she is competent and friendly. I needed help the first few times ordering is completed on a tablet near the entrance. They understand food restrictions and are multilingual so when I wrote my allergies in she found some different choices for me. It's a great place for vegetarians and there are also many vegan options. Macro proteins and cool items like waffles. I think it might be acquired, but I love the taro, red beans, and assorted jellies made from a wide range of plants. Lactose intolerant friendly. Under construction today with a note regarding no bathroom. Great for orders ahead and they have a lot of different options for delivery companies. read more

Meet Fresh is an excellent gathering place with friends/family over Taiwanese drinks, snacks, and dessert. The physical space is their major selling point- it's large, can accommodate groups, and each table is separated enough to feel like an intimate space. There is Wi-Fi available. I unfortunately can't say the same about the food quality. The bubble waffles we've got have always been unpleasantly soggy, and some of the desserts' consistency has been off. This hasn't been an issue at other Meet Fresh locations we've been to. There's little interaction with the staff; ordering is done on tablets. You can see a large screen with all pending orders to gauge your order's status. Orders have been made pretty efficiently. read more

This review is for the egg waffles. I love egg waffles so we ordered the classic one and a black sugar boba egg waffles. They came out freshly made and hot- very light and crunchy on the ends. The black sugar boba egg waffles were interesting- each "bubble" had a boba in it. Wasn't overly sweet and the boba were soft. There are tons of options for beverages and other desserts but we just came from dinner so we too full. The egg waffles were just light enough to end the evening on a sweet note. read more

Drove all the way to Bellevue from North Marysville to satisfy my craving for Meet Fresh. My first experience with the desserts from Meet fresh was in LA. I'm so glad they have locations up in Washington even though the closes one to me is 45 mins from my home while my family down in LA only have to drive 15 mins or less to get to theirs . We got in and after placing our order on the self serve kiosks, our food came out about 10 mins later. Quick service, friendly staff. The location was pretty packed even though the temperature outside was below freezing. The price per cup averages about $13 (if you add additional toppings). It's not cheap but life in general is pretty expensive anyways My family and I will be back! read more

Meet Fresh - Almond jelly, taro ball A and B, Classic Oolong milk tea with boba - Desserts Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

This place has both drinks and desserts, which is why it's a popular place to hangout (especially during the summer). I rarely order the drinks here and prefer the desserts. Meet Fresh offers its desserts in both hot and cold versions. I'm totally a fan of the Q Mochi and Egg Pudding with Boba. The boba is the perfect texture, chewy and soft. The Q Mochi is amazing, which is why it's sold out often. I also enjoy ordering the shaved ice to share with friends; my favorite is the Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice (Q mochi, mini taro balls, sweet potato taro balls, jelly noodle, and ice cream). This location has plenty of parking, tucked into the Lake Hills Village, which also houses Chatime and Hard Wok Cafe - alternatives for dessert if Meet Fresh is packed with people (which is more often than not). For many older Chinese people, they will definitely enjoy the purple rice dessert, almond soup, red bean soup, tofu pudding, and grass jelly options. These are a familiar sight and less sweet than the shave ice. read more

Got the pudding & Q mochi shaved ice here recently and thought it could be better. They loaded up on toppings generously but the whole thing was just kind of flavorless. There was also a really weird smell in the seating area while we were seating, almost like unclean dishes or something. Many of the tables were dirty. Service could definitely be improved. read more

Good: decent Asian selection of dessert options. However, I do find their drinks too sweet and the bubble waffle too soft/soggy. Bad: one time we got there maybe 15 minutes before closing and they refuse to let people in to order take out. It's not because of some emergency or they ran out of things to serve. It was simply they wanted to be done for the night. But if that is the case then they should have set their closing time earlier. If it's not the advertised closing time when customer gets to your business but you refuse to serve them just because you want to go home earlier, it's false advertisement and misleading and simply rude. read more

Lots of variety and tastes great! The ordering system is completely automated; you can use their kiosks or order by QR code. There were a lot of customers when we went so the moderate wait time made sense. I love the fresh and healthy material they used in their products. read more

Out of all Asian dessert places, MeetFresh is one of my favorites. I shared a Grass Jelly Signature with my friend, which came with Ice Cream, Shaved Ice, Sweet Potato Balls, and some Taro. Honestly, the bowl was HUGE - we had trouble finishing it even after enlisting other friends to help. But it was so good. The jelly is the perfect amount of sweetness and the other toppings go really well with it! I really liked the shaved ice at the bottom, it was refreshing after a layer of jelly. Next time I'm in the area I'd love to get MeetFresh again and try other items. Can't wait for them to open a location closer to downtown Seattle! read more

I love this place! I am so glad that we finally got a place where we can get tofu pudding, bubble tea, shaved ice, and lots of Asian snack. I love Asian snack, sweet but not too much sugary. There are plenty of seating here, so I never have any issue in finding a table. The ordering system might be a bit confusing. There is a kiosk for you to order by yourself, but the descriptions on the kiosk screen are not clear enough, so I prefer ordering at the counter with their staff. People here are very friendly and polite. For the food, I do love the taste of the tofu pudding with peanuts, either hot or cold. I also like their bubble tea. Their bubble tea have a good selection of flavors. Their shaved ice size is pretty big. One shaved ice is probably good for serving 2-3 people. Finally, do check in on Yelp before you order! First time I checked in after I placed my order, and realized that I had missed my 10% off coupon from Yelp. I would love to come back more often. I want to try every item on the menu. So far, I haven't been disappointed. read more

I just came here with my fam for a late night treat. This cool hip asian cafe is tucked away in the nondescript, growing strip mall in Lake Hills. We were surprised to find a mix of all ages here, from college kids (or maybe recent grads?) to older grandparently ages enjoying boba, shaved ice, grass jelly etc. late at night (ok, 10 PM feels late to me to be out and about). It's a little spendy but it's a treat, so it's worth it! We got the shaved ice mountain to start with - actual name Pudding & Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice. I loved all the textures going on here. There's a little something for everyone and there were no dessert beans (i.e. red beans, mung beans, etc.) to get in the way. My favorite topping was the soft and chewy Q mochi (little mochi logs?) but the puddings were really great too. Next time I'd sub out the mini taro balls for something else.. while they added a nice texture, they had zero flavor. Since it was cold and still raining outside, we also got the signature hot almond soup to split, subbing out the regular boba for the sugar braised boba. It was perfectly sweetened with a light almond flavor, and a nice way to warm up before heading out. read more

There's a large parking lot with ample space and there's a large space inside with lots of seating. There's also free wifi so you can do some work in here as well. Some friends and I ordered a variety of hot and cold desserts. I ordered the icy grass jelly signature ($8.25) which includes taro balls, grass jelly, and grass jelly shaved ice. I thought the balls themselves didn't have much flavor in them. I poured some half and half over the top and mixed everything together which was pretty good. We got five desserts total and my favorite might have to be the hot almond soup with nice almond flavor and small almond bits. Whether it's a hot day or a cold day there will be something that hits the spot for you. read more

This location is cute & clean. I was impressed with the modern technology of ordering through the tablets and order progress displayed on tv screens. I did find all the various screens kind of overwhelming. We ordered a taro egg waffle and it was pretty dissappointing. It honestly tasted like an original, no extra taro flavor at all. My friend ordered the chocolate one and she said she couldn't taste chocolate at all. The egg waffles were pretty hallow inside as well, it lacked the mochi/eggy consistency that we were looking forward to. I will not order the waffles again. My friend got the Fluffy Ube Slush w/Taro balls. She loved it! She said it wasn't too sweet and had a good ube taste. read more

Ordered ahead a tofu desert and hot grass jelly, arrived 10 mins later, waited abother 30 mins. Food were bland. Sigh.

We enjoyed the desserts here. Everything was tasty like all the other meet fresh that we have been to. I got their signature grass jelly with ube paste on top. It was pretty good. We also got the ube milk and that was really yummy. I didn't like their ordering system bc there isn't much opportunity to ask the workers about the desserts. I had questions about ingredients for dietary reasons and it was hard to get anyone's attention bc the ordering is either online or computerized. That was the one draw back to this place. Dessert comes out pretty fast and everything we ordered was delicious. read more

I haven't been here in a long time. This place is always a must when visiting Seattle. I love Taiwanese shaved ice with the taro balls, boba, and condensed milk. Such a good treat.

I loved how you can just easily order off the ipad and make adjustments to your order. There was an option for less ice which I appreciate since I prefer more toppings instead. I only wish this place opened earlier! They don't open till 1pm?! read more
