After a long day exploring the Brooklyn museum we Had an evening craving for sweets and we decided to for something light. The food came out pretty quickly which was appreciated. For only 16$ the portions are generous (enough to feed 3-4), had nice flavoring and a generous amount of toppings too, my favorite was the ice cream on top and the jellies. Highly recommend to give this place a try. The interior is nice, seats around 25 or 5-6 groups. read more

Went to dinner in 8th Ave and ended up picking up dessert at Meet Fresh. Good amount of seating, but it was quite packed on an unassuming Saturday night... self service at Kiosk and got 3 goodies: the mango pomelo sago... but wish they didn't add cheese foam! I didn't love the salty in my dessert. We also got their classic signature with herbal jelly & taro mochi. And another herbal jelly with mixed mochii and ice cream. All 3 items were refreshing, not overly sweet, and comforting in a good way. Like childhood in HK. It's crazy because when we were in Taipei, there are plenty of shops that sells this type of dessert BUT goodness, finding a delicious one here in the states, just a few years ago, like... treasure hunting. I'm so happy Meet Fresh survived the pandemic and thriving (albeit prices have gone up... but so has everything... seriously.) can't wait to come back! read more

I usually come to Meet Fresh for their ube paste series. I wish they offered a hot version for the days when I'm craving something warm and comforting. The ube, taro, mochi, and herbal jelly combo is so good. The mochi has that perfect chew and bounce. The black sesame dumplings are great too. I've tried the red bean and hot almond, but they were not good. I've heard great things about their shaved ice bowls and always see people enjoying the egg waffles, so there's definitely more to explore. I haven't gone through the whole menu yet, but this location is still worth a stop for the items they do well. The only downside is that the service can be extremely slow, with long wait times, and my hot dessert came out only lukewarm. Inside, there is plenty of seating, bright and spacious though it can get busy during post dinner hours. read more

Arrived at 8pm. Staffed quickly informed us that seating area would be close due to cleaning. And all orders are going be dining out ONLY. Only to go orders. I order the shaved ice mango and strawberry size medium. It was delicious and fresh. The strawberries and mango were cut nicely. I have to return back. It was very delicious but I want the dining experience. Overall it was very clean and spacious seating. read more

We love Meet Fresh! This is mine and my hubs' favorite late night dessert spot. The Signature Icy Grass Jelly is our go-to every time. We love grass jelly and the taro and sweet potato balls! For a summer treat, we love the shaved ice here. We usually go with the Mango Shaved Ice or the Mango Strawberry Shaved Ice which is good to share with 3-4 people! read more

I usually get the Icy Taro Ball signature and I ask to replace the boba with grass jelly. It comes with taro balls, taro paste, potaro balls, and shaved ice. Make sure to mix everything together so the toppings aren't so dry. Solid dessert spot. They have drinks too which are pretty good. Lots of seating in this location. read more

This was my first Meet Fresh experience, and it definitely met and exceeded my expectations. We used the self-serve kiosk at the front for ordering and our desserts were ready in a flash. Funnily enough, my friend (without knowing) ordered a massive, shaved ice that could easily feed a family of 5 - all for herself. While hilarious, I would definitely recommend asking the staff about dish sizes if you have any questions. The shaved ices we ordered were both delicious. The interior was super clean even though it was pretty busy on the weekend. There is also an area for tray drop-offs in the back. Overall, a really nice experience. Would definitely recommend as a casual dessert spot. read more

My go-to Taiwanese dessert spot, there aren't many spots that sell this stuff. The shop has many seatings and with modernized decor. It can be crowded at times, but you can get it to-go as well. You can't really go wrong with any of the top seller items, but my go-to is the cold herbal jelly ice soup with taro balls (complimentary creamer). Sometimes, I get extra taro balls and a scoop of taro paste on the side in case of feeling indulgent and naughty and need a lil extra. The servings are generous and very filling, so be aware of over ordering, can comfortably share one between two. It is refreshing and satisfying to eat. read more

I love Meet Fresh! This chain originated from Taiwan. They have a wide selected of different sweet but their speciality is the herbal jelly, taro and sweet potatoes balls, and shaved ice. The portion sizes are quite generous so definitely come hungry or bring a friend to share! read more

I'm beginning to think Taiwan is responsible for all delicious Asian treats! Every Taiwanese place I've come across has served up some delicious treat! They serve your usual shaved ice creams , waffles & ice cream and of course boba drinks. They also have desserts that I'm dying to try but too scared to actually do it. They have these milky soups that come with jelly like items. I just know the textures would be great! Nevertheless, this time I stuck to my usual shaved ice creams& of course it was delicious! You can't go wrong coming to this place! read more

This is a cute shop with a good amount of seating that serves dessert such as shaved ice and egg waffles. There is also a huge cute figure you can take pictures with. When you walk in, there is a kiosk where you can order to dine in or have your food to go. We wanted to dine in, so we grabbed a table in the back. The tables are clean, which is definitely a plus. The desserts came out pretty quickly. They are so cute that we took a bunch of pictures before devouring them. They also have a station where you drop off the trays and bowls. I would definitely come back. read more

If you dine in, the portions are HUGE. which makes sense for the price you're paying. You can definitely order one and it's enough to share with 2 people. Service is quick and fast. Hit/miss with to go orders. Sometimes they skim out on the toppings compared to dine in orders. read more

Everything I've tried here is so tasty - Icy Glass Jelly Signature, Winter Melon Tea with Mini Taro and Egg Waffle. You can order either through the kiosk or front cashier. The service is also quick. The only complaint is that the taro balls are hard when you get desserts towards the end of the day. read more

Meet Fresh "Taiwan Exquisite Desserts" is a place I've been wanting to go to. Since it was my first time, I went with one of the popular items the "Icy Grass Jelly Signature" They give you a beeper while you wait for your dessert to be prepared. The store has a clean dining area (choose your own table) and a place to drop off your tray when you're done. The grass jelly was delicious, not too sweet, and filling. Everyone was very polite. Afterwards, I checked out the neighborhood - also known as "Brooklyn's Chinatown" - there were street vendors preparing meals along the sidewalk. A few blocks away, there is a highly rated AYCE Chinese Hot Pot "Xiang Hotpot-Brooklyn" One could spend the entire day in this part of Sunset Park, lots to see and explore. read more

This a good place for Taiwanese desserts. You can choose from herbal grass jelly (hot or cold) and/or drinks. The servers were friendly. You can sign up for their loyalty rewards. Remember to check in to get a free drink! Please note that the credit card limit is $15. We ordered one icy grass jelly signature. The portion size was big and it came with a creamer. However, the dessert was sweet without the creamer. The reason for 4/5 was because when we opened the creamer it was chucks instead of liquid. Otherwise, the ambiance was cozy with free wifi in the store and seating areas for you to enjoy your dessert. Remember to return the tray at the back! Will recommend eating here again. read more

Super happy Meet Fresh expanded to Brooklyn. Known for their shaved ice and freshly made mochis, this Taiwanese dessert shop is one of my favorite go-to dessert options. My usual order is their brown sugar boba shaved iced or something with grass jelly. The brown sugar boba shaved ice is filled with creamy milk tea froth with soft boba, red bean, vanilla ice cream and pudding toppings. I love their boba as it's super fresh, soft and chewy. They offer this in both medium or large size. I usually order the medium size, which is enough to share for two. However, recently, I think they're only offering the large size which is $15.75. Prices are steep here for dessert but they're known for their huge portions, especially for the shaved ice desserts. I would not recommend ordering tofu pudding here. It's not authentic and pretty tasteless. read more

They never have strawberry or mango shaved ice. They said their brown sugar shaved ice was gonna take thirty minutes so I ended up not getting it. Instead, I got the taro shaved ice that tasted not very good. It was very potatoey to the point where it didn't taste like dessert- tasted like a chore. I think we had to spend at like $20 to use credit card or something. A lot of their shaved ice items were large size only which is pricey and not great if you're just eating alone. There is bathroom and seating. I still have this place a four because the last time I came, I got the brown sugar shaved ice and it was great. It tasted like tiger sugar in a bowl. The pudding was a great complement. The almond pudding is very flavorful. read more

I had never been to any Meet Fresh location previously before I went to the Brooklyn location on a recommendation from one of my acquaintances. I happened to be in the area for something else and noticed there was a store on the same street but I was not surprised. This area in Brooklyn on 8th Ave is considered one of the three "Chinatowns" in NYC (the other two being Manhattan and Flushing) and you can find a lot of the popular and trending things like certain desserts or bubble teas as well as places to eat that may be unique. At the time that I had visited there were not too many customers. My friend had recommended her favorite item off the menu which sounded good. However I wanted to try something else at that time... BLACK SUGAR BOBA MILKY SHAVED ICE!! There was a small and large version...since it was just me i got the smaller version which was still a significant amount of dessert for one person. You really cannot go wrong with any flavored with black or brown sugar in terms of dessert. There were tapioca balls and a whole piece of pudding! And the ice was topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. I tried to get the best angles for the photo...right before I devoured it. The place itself is pretty spacious if you wanted to dine in (and shaved ice is definitely meant for dining in and sharing). The girls working that day were polite and had recommended I choose the smaller ice as the bigger one was nore suited for groups. They prepared the dessert in a timely manner. If i am ever in that area again, I would certainly go to that specific Meet Fresh location. read more

Meet the semi new kid on the block - a Taiwanese dessert shop serving everything from shaved ice to Tong sui (sweet soup) and egg waffles. I've only been here twice and both times I only had eyes for their shaved ice. I shared the "black sugar boba milky shaved ice" with my fiancé the first time. It comes in two sizes: medium and large. We got the medium to go (it did melt a little) and couldn't finish it because we were pretty full from dinner. To no one's surprise, it tastes exactly like it's name - brown (well I guess in this case - black) sugar boba in shaved ice form. The best way to eat it is to mix everything together... it'll end up very liquidy and not that visually appealing, but I swear it tastes amazing like that. The caramel pudding topping was more like a flan but still yum. Today, I went back for more shaved ice and decided to eat at the store this time so it doesn't melt again. The staff did ask for vaccination cards. Unfortunately, the "pudding & q Mochi milk shaved ice" only comes in the large size, but I still ordered that knowing damn well two people won't be able to finish it. Lo and behold, I couldn't finish it with my sister, but it was worth trying because the toppings were different from the boba shaved ice. This one came with both caramel pudding and almond pudding. The latter was soo fragrant - I hope I can recreate it at home! It also had some noodle- looking topping without much flavor so it didn't add much to the dessert but it was still interesting to try. I also liked the melon jellies. Most of the flavor came from the scoop of ice cream though. tip: minimum purchase of $15 to use card! read more

Stumbled upon this place accidentally and I'm glad we did. Ordered 2 at first for myself and 2 kids. As we were fascinated watching the our plate being built, I noticed the size and had to run back to cancel 1 before it was too late. Phew! Their monster sized portions are more than enough for 3 adults, for an affordable price, too! First time always matters, so we chose wisely and decided to go with Taro. Tall mountain of shaved ice drizzled with rich condensed milk, surrounded by sweet melon jelly and large chunks of soft taro, then topped off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Devoured in seconds. Can't wait to come back for more, especially to make up for that canceled order - Q Mochi. Please do yourselves a big favor, bring your crew because sharing is caring. read more

We wanted to try out this place because it was getting hot walking around. We tried the Strawberry Mango shaved ice and it was amazing. It was so hard to finish for two people.

I think I found my dessert place that is only a few N train stops away. I only had the taro balls with tofu and it was so yummy. The taro balls are small and chewy which tasted like the sweet rice balls that my grandma makes on Chinese New Year. I like that the taro balls are chewy and not much taste to ruin the sugar taste in the soup. I like that there are enough tables for people to sit. I saw a lot of people ordering take out besides eating in. I went back to get the same dessert the next day. So delicious. I will go back to this place for yummy and fulfilling sweets. read more

We got the chocolate deluxe waffle and the tofu pudding. The chocolate Deluxe waffle was amazing. Theneaffle was freshly made when we ordered and warm paired with the creamy ice cream. The ice cream was drizzled with chocolate sauce and walnuts and pistachios! Altogether, it was a perfect after dinner dessert. The tofu pudding was very underwhelming, I've definetly had better in many places so maybe don't order the plain? They offered a lot of toppings tho I usually don't like taro or sweet potato, but maybe it would add a kick to it. read more

WOOOOW Meet Fresh opened up at Sunset Park. I was so excited to try this place. I went to Meet Fresh at Brooklyn on Friday afternoon. I ordered a Cold Purple Rice Soup Signature. ( Around $10) The Cold Purple Rice Soup Signature included taro paste, sweet potato taro balls, purple rice soup, and rice balls. It also came with one creamer. The Cold Purple Rice Soup Signature has the perfect amount of sweetness. Sweet potato taro balls and rice balls were very chewy. I honestly love the taro paste in the sweet potato taro balls. The service is better and faster than the ones in manhattan. I would come back to try different kinds of desserts. read more

So happy to know that Meet Fresh opened up in Brooklyn. I have visited the Manhattan one before & loved all the Taiwanese dessert. The desserts here are (in my opinion) the closest to what they taste like in Taiwan (not 100% but pretty close). Whenever I miss Taiwan, I go to Meet Fresh to buy a dessert or two. Since traveling is hard at this time, eating things that remind you of places you visited helps. I came here 3 days ago & ordered to go: 1) the cold signature grass jelly, 2) signature hot red bean, 3) cold almond pudding with qq mochi. All 3 were so delicious!! My most favorite was that almond pudding and qq mochi! The almond pudding was just so flavorful and soft & the qq mochi tasted exceptional! The grass jelly was my 2nd fav as it had so many random things in it (taro balls, grass jelly, condensed milk). The red bean was good too but I am not the biggest red bean dessert person. Shop was spacious, fun and super clean. Too bad indoor dining is prohibited and not safe at this time because of the pandemic. Hopefully in the future when things get better, we can all be able to dine in here and in other shops. Ordering was quick an easy & staff was friendly and efficient. They have a large bottle of hand sanitizer to the left of the shop. read more

Being just a couple of doors down from Yozi Noodles--where my sister and I visit frequently--Meet Fresh has become one of those places where the two of us frequent often, either immediately before or immediately after. Really cute interior, brightly lit with free wifi, and tons of desserts and drinks to choose from. My sister usually sticks to her Matcha Egg Waffle and Orange & Passion Fruit Green Tea, but I like to explore around the menu. So far, we've tried their: - Q Mochi - Matcha Egg Waffle - Matcha Red Bean Egg Waffle - Orange & Passion Fruit Green Tea - Mango & Orange Green Tea - Strawberry Passion Fruit Green Tea - Fresh Milk Jin Xuan Oolong Tea with Boba I wish they had more drinks in their fruit series, but admittedly, I don't think it would make a difference -- the Orange & Passion Fruit Green Tea is still the best. It's light, it's refreshing, and it's so darn good! Give me more!! We haven't tried any of their actual hot and cold desserts, but I look forward to doing so soon! read more

I got the coco sago (with taro balls, black sugar boba, almond pudding) to try something new (I usually get a custom icy taro ball which I love) and I regretted it. It was basically a thick soup, I honestly expected more solids in it but it was really majority liquid so it was difficult to eat. It also didn't taste that good. For $13 I'm really disappointed. read more

Meet fresh recently changed their menu and now offer Medium and Large sizes for their shaved ice. It's basically a $1 difference between the sizes. My friends and I haven't came in a while and wasn't aware of the change so we thought a medium should be enough. After we ordered, we got an extremely small bowl of shaved ice. I attached a picture of a large round bowl, that was a picture from 2023 and is now the large size that they offer. The other two pictures is what we got today. This small little bowl makes it hard to eat the shaved ice cuz it literally collapsed and we were struggling to make sure it didn't spill. Also because this bowl is deeper, the shaved ice in the bottom have no condensed milk at all, it's just pure ice. I think this change in their menu is practically lying to consumers because the difference between medium and large is crazy even though the price is just $1 different. If they were to make medium this portion, it should be at least $4 cheaper. read more

Ordered from this place on a whim - I got the double taro signature with condensed milk for about $12 and it was very well worth! Dough and taro balls have just the right amount of bounce. The condensed milk adds a layer of creamy-ness to the mixture with every bite. The ice melts and absorbs all the flavor from above. What a great treat! read more

I ordered four desserts from the store and waited 25 minutes, which was fine. I was excited to enjoy some warm desserts in this cold weather, but I was extremely disappointed when I got home and opened them. The signature red bean soup barely had any ingredients--just a few pearls and boba, with no taro at all! There should be at least two pieces of taro, but I got none. Can you imagine how empty this soup looked? It was basically just red bean-flavored water, and I paid $10 for it! The other red bean soup was equally disappointing. It was so watered down that it tasted like plain water, with hardly anything in it. I was literally eating water. The hot grass jelly was just okay, nothing special. Unfortunately, this experience was very frustrating, and I won't be coming back due to the inconsistent quality. read more
