The quality of the ice is horrible, chunky and not finely shaved. The establishment should upgrade its machines. The mung bean snacks are served frozen! There is no excuse for that. I brought friends to this place and was thoroughly embarrassed by the quality of the deserts. read more

I've been to Meet Fresh in Chicago and in the Bay Area and in general I now think Meet Fresh is just OK. There are other Asian dessert/boba places I'd rather visit but I wouldn't decline a trip if someone really wanted to go (which was the case here). There was one kiosk where you could order but we were having issues with it (credit card reader didn't work) so we ended up ordering at the counter anyway. This seems really common in the NYC area but they have minimum $10 for credit card transactions which is annoying since the item I wanted was like $4 (I ended up just having our friends order it). We tried the caramel boba pudding. The amount they give you is so small! I feel like you could just eat it like a shooter. The taste was not bad, perhaps slightly too sweet due to the caramel syrup. My husband wasn't a bit fan of the boba but I liked it. read more

I stopped by the Meet Fresh Flushing store today and ordered 2 bowls to go, I ordered Double Taro Signature in Chinese while the cashier put in the wrong items, she put in Icy Taro Ball Signature which is not the same. I didn't know or check the name in English at that time and didn't realize she put the wrong items until I got home :( and it was already too late to return back to the store. I was so disappointed that it wasn't the ice cream I wanted to get when I opened them up. I was looking for the scoop of ice cream and grass jelly and they weren't there. The Icy Taro Ball Signature bowl just isn't the same and doesn't taste as good. I am a returning customer and I went to the store specifically to get what I liked from my first visit, so I was very very disappointed that it wasn't the product I liked. For anyone else ordering from here, remember to double check your order since there's a good chance they might mess it up. Still so disappointed they messed up :( would've been 4-5 stars since the other one (Double Taro Signature) was so much better, it's probably the only item I'd recommend from here. I did also try this Icy Taro Ball Signature last time and this was a not so good item on my list... felt like I wasted my money again. So sad. read more

I ordered the Hot Coco Sago Soup Signature, however, it's not mochi. Not sure if the employer know what mochi is, but what I got is a coconut jelly mixed taro soup. The taro was bland, and it looks totally difference from the image. Very disappointed with this dessert though. Since it's in Tangram mall. It's pretty crowdy and not much seat on weekends read more

After walking around Tangram Mall in Flushing, my friends and I decided to stop here to sit and enjoy some boba. We ordered off the self-order kiosks. I entered in my phone number on the screen so I could get a notification when my milk tea with boba was ready. However, 10 minutes passed without any alerts. I just went up to the front desk and my drink was ready. Unfortunately, the drink tasted disappointing. The tea flavor is there, but eventually tastes watered down. It's not smooth at all. 2/5 stars simply because the establishment is aesthetic and there is plenty of seating for groups. read more

Honestly such a disappointing experience here I'm baffled. I got the Mochi Milk shaved ice and I can't think of any worse way to use $16.88 The shaved ice comes with two puddings, ice cream and various mochi. The WHITE pudding tasted like moth balls The "Shaved" ice was barely shaved it looks and feels as if someone just took a butcher knife to a block of ice. This bowl could sink the Titanic. The spoons have a weird moldy smell on them like the towel they used to dry them off hasn't been changed since they opened. Disgusting read more

BLUF: Meet Fresh is a chain known for Taiwanese-style herbal jelly desserts; and is a good place for those looking for an introduction to this relatively healthy dessert category. We visited this location shortly after its soft-opening week concluded. Orders were mostly take-out as most seating was still closed to the public. Food: Very Good (4 of 5) Value: OK (3 of 5); a bit expensive We ordered two things: - Hot Grass Jelly Signature Soup (招牌燒仙草): $9.75. The grass jelly (which looks like black ooze) is soupy, with a lightly herbal / medicinal flavor and a slightly minty (without the usual bitter) aftertaste. The red beans add sweetness, while the mini boba and taro balls in the soup provide different levels of springy / bouncy ("Q") chewiness. While the online menu indicates that the grass jelly will congeal as it becomes colder, that didn't noticeably happen with our serving. - Almond Pudding with Red Bean (紅豆杏仁布丁): $2.75. Tasty, but a tiny portion. Other: - Meet Fresh is located by the 37th Avenue entrance of Tangram. - Read about "Q" texture here: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/04/world/asia/taiwan-food-q-texture.html read more

3rd time here & I feel like the cashiers were annoyed with us. We did take forever to order at the counter but only cuz there was 10 of us & we had to keep asking for extra napkins & straws. I was only provided with 1 extra straw when I asked.! Anyway, the brown sugar boba milk shaved ice is salty. The cream is salty for some reason I don't understand. Ruined the whole dessert. All of their shaved ices are milk flavored, the shaved ice itself has no other flavor which sucks cuz you're mostly paying for a mountain of ice that has no flavor besides milk. We got brown sugar boba milk tea & oolong milk tea with lychee jelly, boba & pudding. Both were great. We also got a deluxe & a plain bubble waffle. Both were great. read more

You can order on a kiosk or you can order through a worker, the food is good and fast. However, the workers are rude and unfriendly. I asked them to give me a bowl because i accidentally pressed "to go" instead of for here, and I wanted to put my food into a bigger bowl, the workers seemed annoyed when I asked them. They were rolling their eyes and talking under their breath with a bad attitude. The worst part is, they were speaking in Chinese, acting like I couldn't understand them. I waited for a good five minutes and I told the lady that it was okay and she just gave me my food back. The workers are impolite. read more

Meet fresh is a great Taiwanese dessert chain located in many parts in the US. Tastewise, this meet fresh branch was a solid 4 stars. But the service and service time was very subpar. I ordered one icy grass jelly with red bean, lychee jelly, sesame ball, and mini q's (smaller taro balls), and it took more than 20 minutes for my one dessert. On the bright side, they have a self-service kiosk that allows you to place your order without the cashier. The seating and aesthetic at this location is very spacious and cute - there was enough space for a large group of friends to comfortably hang out. They are on the right track to being a great dessert place, but they missed the mark on service time. Note restrooms are located on the lower level of the mall. read more

The store isn't ready as of early May 2022. They are serving food and drinks, but some parts are closed off sometimes and the floor is wet all the time. I ordered their signature combo and it's decent, the same as the ones they serve in the city. They do a lot of takeout orders but from what I saw they're only on Chinese food apps, not UberEats or other regular food delivery apps. read more

I love Meet Fresh and have posted about it multiple times on this account. But gotta post again since I try their new items and want to remember how they taste :)) The ube signature is like the normal one with ube balls that have black sesame paste filling. The ice cream is pretty good too. It has caramel flan and bubbles. Most of the bubbles are good; some become hard because of the cold ice cream. The one in Flushing opens till 9pm for dine in, and you have until 10pm for take out, but they charge you extra for the take out containers lol. read more

I have always had a soft spot for Meet Fresh and its balanced Asian desserts with the perfect amount of sweetness. I love this new location in Tangram Mall! The mall is modern, clean, spacious, cutely decorated and the ideal place to shop and eat in comfort. This Meet Fresh has a fair amount of seating and tables for patrons. After ordering our desserts on the kiosk, we sat down to wait. It did take 10-15 minutes for my ube dessert bowl to come out but it was pretty busy at this time. I had their Ube and Taro Paste Signature, which was delicious! Highly recommend for ube lovers. The balls of ube and taro paste are mashed to a sweet, creamy, indulgent texture. Mix a bite of each with the unflavored sweet potato mochi balls for a happy marriage of textures and flavors. Though a lot of the elements of the dessert were heavy, the grass jelly base kept it light and refreshing overall. It was an awesome dessert that I would happily enjoy any season the year. A winning choice as a dessert spot to bring your parents, aunties or uncles to if they prefer less sweet desserts! read more

This is my second time trying meet fresh since the first time I had it, I didn't like it. But, I'm glad I came back because this drink was really good! It reminded me of a dessert from the Philippines. I would definitely recommend getting this drink if you like coconut and tapioca. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this location as well. The inside was decorated in a very aesthetically pleasing way. read more

If I pass by a Meet Fresh, I always stop by. I absolutely love their desserts because they are never too sweet. They are also very filling with the mochi balls and taro balls. I ordered one of specialty items (as pictured). But I honestly tried through most of their menu and could not find an item I would not get. If you want a warm or cold dessert, this is the perfect spot. The seating area is also very cute but when I went half of it was closed off. There is no restrooms so that was not ideal, especially for a plaza that has a few different shops. Highly recommend!! 10/10 read more

I came here for dessert after lunch with a group of 3 people on a Sunday afternoon. There's a lot of seating in the place or you can sit in the main seating area of the Tangram mall. We ordered the cold coco sago soup and the icy taro ball signature with additional ice cream topping. We ordered from the iPad kiosk which doesn't match the paper menu. Also, the touch screen was a bit glitchy. I recommend just ordering from a real person, technology is not faster! Haha. Anyways, I usually like all their taro desserts so the icy taro ball signature was good. It had everything I liked: taro balls, taro paste, boba, shaved ice, and ice cream. Just have to order from a real person next time! read more

Great place for hot and cold desserts, though the staff weren't the friendliest, nor did they seem well-trained enough to handle large crowds of people. My partner and I came here on two separate occasions to try their desserts; we ordered the Cold Coco Sago Soup B (from their new Coco Sago Series) the first time around and the Hot Almond Soup Signature the second time around, and both were delectable! The fragrant red beans and soft, chewy boba were my favorite toppings, though the mini taro balls were quite good as well. My partner, on the other hand, really liked the almond and coconut soup bases, with a preference for the almond over the coconut as it was less sweet. Overall, amazing desserts, but be prepared to wait for some time! Can't wait to try some of their other hot and cold desserts! read more

I should probably warn you -- it's a long wait time to order (even with the kiosk) and to get your order so if you're paying for parking in Tangram or any of the nearby garages, rip. Also, it's uncomfortably loud (and this is coming from an extrovert) so probably not the best date spot. That note aside, coming to Meet Fresh was my idea because my bestie was craving something sweet and it's been a minute since I've had Taiwanese style desserts. On the environment: The environment is mostly open concept and the seating layout is definitely unique -- you can tell the designer did whatever they could to maximize the surface area to accommodate customers. I do want to say that I'm impressed with some of the seat designs that are meant for individuals who probably just want to enjoy their dessert alone. I'm an extremely social person but occasionally I like to go out alone too because I need to recharge plus I actually enjoy my own company. Sadly, it's not always convenient to do that since most places have tables for 2 to 4+ people (I don't mind the stares; I just feel guilty for taking up big tables) so the seating here is a game changer! On the food: We ordered the ube shaved ice dessert. This dessert is meant for 1-2 people, maybe even 2-3. It's got a scoop of ube paste on top and variations of rice balls. There are also red beans floating around on the side the mountain of ice (my least favorite part of this dessert). The chewiness of the tapioca and taro balls serves a nice contrast to the cold shaved ice. Every bite is a different experience. If you're a texture person like me, you'd enjoy this. I kept getting brain freeze on every other bite so each bite I took felt like I'm just one away from having a seizure. I eventually listened to myself and stopped munching on the ice. We left a good chunk of the ice alone but finished just about everything else. read more

If you like shaved ice, you have to go here! I personally loved the mango one. The other one I don't remember exactly what it was called but since it was only condensed milk drizzled and no other flavoring I thought it was a little bland. The black tea milk tea was very yummy but I forgot to ask for tapioca so my mistake! The cashier was very helpful with what's popular and his personal favorite. read more

meet fresh has finally landed in Flushing and it's located inside the Tangram Mall. it's counter service, order at the counter, find your seating, and you'll get a text when your order is ready for pickup at the counter. we got the following to try: -black sugar boba milky ice: a huuuuuuuuuuge mound of milky shaved ice with milk and brown sugar syrup, boba, red beans, pudding, and a scoop of milk ice cream. we liked the milk syrup and the portion is good for at least 2-3 ppl to share. -icy taro ball signature: with taro balls, boba, sweet potato balls (filled with taro), mashed taro, shaved ice, and brown sugar syrup. this was pretty good too! -hot red bean soup signature: with taro balls, boba, sesame rice ball, boba, red beans, and taro. the sweetness on this is perfect (not too sweet). overall, i think this is a good place to hang out and share desserts with a friend or two. worth stopping by if you have a dessert craving while in the area. read more

I had high expectations for Meet Fresh because their desserts looked so good. I guess they have a great PR team. However, their desserts are nothing special. Some bland some overly sweet. I had the Ube Taro grass jelly dessert with taro balls. The taro balls were so bland. The grass jelly was silky but again bland. The ube and taro was alright. The kids had the strawberry shake. They enjoyed it, but my kids like anything sweet. I found it a bit sweet even at 50% sugar level. The strawberry taste was good though. Service was average. The cashier couldn't really answer questions or give recommendations. You order from the front and then grab a seat. They yell your number when it's ready for pickup. read more

Meet Fresh - Ube and Taro paste signature Red Bean milk shaved ice - Bubble Tea Near Me - Flushing, New York

Great place for dessert (hot and cold!). New location in Tangram mall in Downtown Flushing with many seat options so you can hang out with friends. We ordered the icy taro ball signature that my friend highly recommended (she always gets this with her bf to share) and a red bean milk shaved ice. The portion size with both was perfect for 4-5 people. The taro ball was my favorite with mochi balls and a giant scoop of taro paste. The red bean milk shaved ice was really good because the milk was inside the shaved ice, making it creamy. Melon jelly was also a topping, which doesn't taste like anything, but the texture was a good contrast with the ice and red bean. I thought mixing all the shaved ice and the scoop of vanilla ice cream was the best way to eat it, though it looks like slush in the end. Will surely return to try some of the other options they have. They have a large menu with a variety of desserts and bound to have something for everyone. You can even customize your own! read more

Service is extremely slow. 30-40 min wait. We ordered on a kiosk that said it'll text us which never did. The dessert is not all that good. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing.

I've heard of Meet Fresh being super popular on the west coast so when I heard of it opening in Tangram Flushing, I had to give it a try! There is a lot of people and not enough seating but we snagged one just in time for our dessert! It took a bit for it to come out but it wasn't that long! I did only four stars because I think it was a little overhyped. I compare it to Grace Street in the city and I think Grace Street is better. read more

Went here around evening time and it wasn't as busy when I first placed my order. The place is casual and can get a little loud. The options for what to order was huge. All I did know was I wanted shaved ice. I ended up getting a mango shaved ice and a friend ordered hot almond milk. I was pretty satisfied with my order. It fulfilled a craving of something sweet. The place did get crowded as it got later. They even had their return trays full and a staff member was kind enough to just take the tray as he noticed that I couldn't find a spot for my tray to return. Overall, place is a great hangout spot with something sweet as you chat with friends. read more

Meet fresh is my favorite dessert place in Flushing! It's particularly well known for its Taiwanese dessert. Both the hot and cold signatures are fantastic, and both feature their real and delicious herbal jelly (other places typically sub this for some brown sugar jello). Meet fresh is popular, and many more locations have been popping up on the east coast. This particular location is just as popular with a good 10-15 minutes of wait time for the ordering kiosk and obtaining of food. If you're interested in their fruit shaved ice, you need to go early. They end to run out of it very quickly. Overall, definitely recommend! read more
