Considering how much we ordered my family did receive attitude towards the register staff.. However considering that aside, the deserts tasted good. It is a family friendly place with plenty of seats! Warning! This is an Asian desert place so if you're not too familiar with hot red bean soup as a desert then there is shaved ice and ice cream! read more

This may be the only boba place that offers hot boba milk tea in town. I was needed a nice pick me up mid-shift, and my office is quite cold. The tea helped caffeinate, energize and warm me up. Price point is fair. I appreciate the customizations--such as adjusting the sweetness--available for the drinks. I noticed a couple of guests were doing work, which makes sense given the large space, tons of seating and available WiFi. Customer service was good. Drinks made well. Will be back! read more

Love the Shaved Ice here. First time trying Mangoberry, yum! Brown sugar boba milk tea is a favorite as well. Servings of the shaved ice are M and L. At least 2 or 3 people can share the medium. If you really love it a large will suffice. But they are huge, a little pricey, but so refreshing and satisfying. Honestly we tend to get this instead of dinner because we've had a big lunch. The orders come out quickly so that's nice not to have to wait long. You get to see all kinds of desserts people have ordered. quite popular after dinner. I noticed the shop got pretty full around 730p. Seating is plentiful for bigger parties, not like some dessrt shops that offer seating only for 2-4people. Have to try the other desserts one day! read more

It's a cute cozy atmosphere. Very clean and pleasant the young lady was very helpful in explaining the menu to me and gave me suggestions on what I could order since I'm allergic to gluten and don't have diary. I ended up getting these taro balls that were so delicious I had to get another order of them. It was light and refreshing and not sweet at all it was very good, I know some of there foods sounds not appealing but trust me when I say it's DELICIOUS. I'm glad I came with my friend after work read more

On a whim I decided I wanted a soupy dessert tonight, despite the ugly rainy and chilly weather. Off to Meet Fresh we went! Instead of our usual Black Sugar Boba Milky Shaved Ice (I just realized I've been miscalling it Brown Sugar...!), I decided on the Mango Pomelo Sago cold. The kid doesn't like mango so he ordered the Signature Hot Grass Jelly Soup. I was expecting the Mango Pomelo Sago to be more soupy like the Hong Kong style dessert but it was thick and rich and still very mango-y. The pomelo looked and tasted more like grapefruit but they're close enough in flavor and texture. Each mouthful of the mango puree and jelly was sweeter than the last. The sago pearls were perfectly cooked and not mushy. The ratio of shaved ice to the puree and mango bits was just right, although the hubs and I both wished the shaved ice could be a tad finer. The Grass Jelly Soup though! No wonder it's the signature item. I am very familiar with the aroma but the grass jelly was so smooth yet still had substance. It had the consistency of soupy starch but still had a gentle almost nonexistent al dente-ness? What is this magic?! The mini taro balls and boba pearls were perfectly chewy. We're usually not taro fans but these pass the tastebuds! We could see steam from the surface but it was the perfect temperature. The kid requested the red beans put on the side, which was accommodated. The peanuts were packed separately as well, which I then munched on their own. Very pleased with our stray from the usual. It's about time we tried other desserts, maybe their tofu pudding next! Solid 4.5 stars. read more

Another go to spot for me! Staff is always so friendly and greets us with a smile every time. Place is always clean and has a nice vibe where you just want to hang out and have a good time with friends. We shared an icy sorbet bowl. Lots of sorbet and lots of toppings, what more can you want? Boba, tapioca and the other chewy stuff cooked proper and not hard or mushy. We'll be back again for sure! read more

After coming here for about 3 years I can say how much this place has improved once you give it some time. The first two visits their desserts were closer to sugar water than an actual solid shave ice but I kept coming because the toppings alone are hard to come across in a great arrangement. Their menu has also changed immensely as well. They now have egg waffles, more teas and more shave ice all of which I think are phenomenal. There's truly something here for everyone whether it's hot or cold, milk or herbal tea, soft serve or a fresh egg waffle: this place has it all. These people finally got there dessert down to a science and I couldn't be more pleased. Truly hope this is only the beginning with Taiwanese dessert shops on Oahu. read more

I'm so glad I finally tried this place! Their menu is so large so I'll have to go back to try something else! We had a hard time deciding because they have so many toppings and combinations that I'm not used to so didn't know which one I wanted. We decided to try the icy taro series. The dessert is pretty large so I would recommend sharing. The taro scoops are big and tasted really delicious. There were also other taro balls, boba, and red bean. It was so interesting to try these all on like shaved ice. It was really refreshing though. We also added sesame balls which I loved. There are so many choices though that I'll need to go back again. The people were so nice and patient with us. There's cute seating inside too to enjoy your dessert. Will be back to the something else! read more

I looked high and low for an ice monster replacement. The picture, description and price made it seem like their shaved ice was made from real juice ice blocks, boy did i feel TRICKED out of a 20 dollar chunks of pure ICE! It was nothing but a mount of large ice chunks, masked by slapping a layer of sugary syrup over it. The ice chunks were as large as a wonton!!! So horrible. read more

Great little find on the lower deck of the Ala Moana Center near the Starbucks on the Foodland side of the mall. This place serves huge over the top ice shaved desserts. They don't skimp on the portions or calories but the presentation is over the top and delicious. One dessert can serve 2-3 easily. Lots of seating on tables in a clean airy setting with friendly service. read more

Tried Meet Fresh for dessert after AYCA since it's nearby. Nice setting. Since we used the self serve kiosk to order, we never interacted with the staff. We got the mango-strawberry which looked pretty. It was a big portion that can easily be shared by 2-3 people. The only negative is that at the end, it tends to be overly sweet and when the shaved ice melt it feels like your drinking syrup. At $20, it seems more expensive than comprable places. read more

I've been a longtime fan of Meet Fresh, but the quality has seriously gone downhill. The desserts don't taste as good as they used to. On top of that, service feels rushed and inconsistent compared to before. Meet Fresh used to be a place I'd happily recommend, but lately it feels like they're cutting corners and letting poor quality desserts be served. This past time I got a fully melted bowl of shave ice it was like drinking soup couldn't finish it and threw it away. Probably won't be coming back unless things improve. read more

The description for this place really sums it up well. Love that they're open late night. I'm not used to the mall closing at 8pm so when we are out, a nice refreshing dessert is perfect. We usually get a fresh fruit shaved ice but decided to try the azuki/boba one this time. This was shared amongst 6 of us and we still could barely finish the Large. It's great that it's not too heavy. Maybe not be the best quality but definitely convenient! The place gets pretty packed at nice. I love that there are three different ways to order: cashier, kiosk, or your phone. Highly recommend downloading the app for rewards! read more

From boba drinks to ice cream desserts everything here was so good. Only down side to it , is that since new D&B opened up here. It's so hard to find parking.

Great dessert place that's open pretty late. I like how you can order from the side screen or with the friendly staff. The service is fast and easy. There are booths and tables you can choose from. It gets colder the more you eat your dessert, so bring a sweater if you get cold easy. I ordered a lot of different things before but this time we got grass jelly! Honestly I like a lot of things on the menu, we usually just order a new random one each time and I haven't been disappointed yet! read more

Discovered Meet Fresh after seeing it on an advertisement board at Ala Moana, and it turned out to be such a hidden gem. My friend and I shared the Taro Mochi Milk Shaved Ice, and it was so yummy! We ordered a medium, and it was more than enough to share. The shaved ice was light and creamy, and the taro and mochi combo was perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. They also have a nice seating area and free WiFi, which makes it a great spot if you're looking to sit, study, or just relax for a bit. Staff was friendly and service was quick despite it being pretty busy. If you're at Ala Moana and craving a sweet treat, I'd highly recommend stopping by Meet Fresh! read more

I love the shave ice here. The large is massive and the almond float with mochi is elite. The mochi has the perfect chew and always tastes fresh. The shave ice is packed with flavor and I never need extra syrup because they nail it every time. The only downside is the service. They're not the friendliest and definitely not the most helpful. But for the shave ice itself, I keep coming back. read more

Meet Fresh - Grass Jelly Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We've recently been regular repeat visitors to Meet Fresh. It's a nice spot to grab dessert after dinner with friends and family. Though recently, for us, it's been an opportunity to take a sip of nostalgia. My wife and I have made a couple visits recently specifically for their grass jelly drinks. I recall just no more than a couple months ago, we randomly stopped by and I got a drink that reminded me of my childhood. I was looking for that same drink, but for some reason had forgotten what it was called. We got some type of fluffy herbal drink with grass jelly that was pretty good, but it was overwhelmed with other flavors. We went back once more and just got a basic herbal tea with regular sweetness and added grass jelly to it. That's what hit the spot. I think the next time we go, we'll add extra grass jelly for extra nostalgia, but it was almost like taking a time machine for a bit. I think they need to also have a slushy option without the fluff on top for even more accuracy, but for now, it seems this place might be one of the few shops I can get a taste of my childhood at. read more

Service was great, they were very patient with us, price wasn't bad. We got a large black sugar shaved ice to share for the 6 of us. The ice could have been finer with more syrup towards the bottom and middle, the boba wasn't consistent. Some were a little harder in the middle. We just had lunch and a large filled us up. I do want to return and try the almond soup. read more

Came with friends after dinner. This was my first time here. I'm not much for sweets, so I've been skeptical about trying this place. We ordered the icy taro ball signature. To my surprise, the level of sweetness was on point for me. I will definitely have it again! The serving size was generous. Located on the Kona St side, ground floor of the Ala Moana Shopping Center. You order, pay, and seat yourself. There's ample seating and tables for larger groups. read more

Dropped by Meet Fresh at Ala Moana around 8:50pm on a Friday and it was busy! There were only a few tables left. We ordered to-go but ate there just in case we didn't finish: lemon winter melon tea with melon jelly, the original waffle, and Hot Grass Jelly Soup A. Here's a breakdown for yall. Ambience/service: * I like the open, chill vibe and high ceilings... feels airy even when it's busy. * Service was prompt. The uncle at the counter was friendly, repeated my order, and the pickup system is easy: your receipt has a number that pops up on the screen and gets called, so you can't miss it. * Downside: the tables. They don't really clean between guests, so be ready to do a quick wipe yourself. The stickiness is kind of a recurring turn-off here. Please fix this! Food/drinks: * Lemon winter melon tea w/ melon jelly: Solid pick. I usually get winter melon at places like Mr. Tea, and this was a decent substitute. Not too sweet, in my opinion. The "top seller" tag convinced me, and it was refreshing. * Original waffle: Crispy and cooked well, but $8.50 for this? Tastes good, not sure it's worth that price. Probably wouldn't reorder. * Hot Grass Jelly Soup A: Warm, silky, and super filling. Lots of soup and peanuts; I just wish there was more actual grass jelly. There's no restroom in this establishment, FYI. Overall, I tend to enjoy their hot desserts most. The flavors and energy mostly make up for the less-than-clean tables. If you can handle wiping down your own spot, it's a good late-night sweet fix with quick service. Would come back for the hot desserts and drinks; skipping the waffle next time. read more

Not usually a boba fan but their black sugar boba milk tea is perfect- meaning the boba is flavorful, soft with a sligtly chewy texture, the tea at 50% sweetness is perfect and not too "milky"- I recommend very few boba places but this one I do like! lots of other Asian desserts that look good! read more

A nice place to go for dessert after dinner! It is in Ala Moana mall so lots of parking. You can either order with the cashier or at the kiosk. My sister ordered from the kiosk & she was saying she used every finger to try to click on an item.. so she was getting a bit frustrated. My husband saw her struggling so he went to the cashier instead haha. My husband ordered the chocolate deluxe waffle & we shared it. It was delicious! My sister ordered the strawberry milk shaved ice & my cousin ordered the mangoberry milk shaved ice. They were huge! One easily could feed 3-4 people. We didn't know how big it was so I asked them if they ordered a medium or large, they said there was only one size on the kiosk. So be careful if you're ordering at the kiosk if you want the medium!! My only issue is the tables are sticky & messy with crumbs. Would be nice for a worker to wipe them every so often or leave out napkins on some tables. There is no restroom as well. So if Starbucks next door is closed (if they have a restroom) then you have to go upstairs by Jamba or center stage. read more

Meet Fresh never disappoints! I've been coming here regularly, and have finally found my favorite order.. the double taro signature! it's my absolute favorite. The texture, the flavor, the balance of sweet and earthy from the taro... its perfect, refreshing, and delicious. The toppings are always fresh, and the portion size is generous enough to share! I've tried a few other items too, and honestly, everything is good, you really can't go wrong. The vibe inside is clean and cozy, and the staff are always friendly. Whether you're a dessert lover or just curious about Taiwanese treats, this place is 100% worth checking out. read more

Used the app on my phone to order. I made it for pick up at 1:20 pm. There were other people who came in and ordered after me that received their orders before me. I don't know if it was due to only one person working. When I finally went up to ask where my order was, worker was not even apologetic or anything. To make matters worse, the drink wasn't even worth the roughly $9 it cost for the matcha latte. read more

Amazing variety of desserts we did get their seasonal dessert and I thought it was great it might have been a little too rich for me. Service was amazing as they help you choose what you'd enjoy and give good recommendations. There is maybe a slight language barrier but it was all good after going back and forth for a bit. Atmosphere was very calm and cozy, they do offer complimentary water as well if needing something to wash it down. All in all a great place to get dessert if probably be back to try a different item. read more

Shave ice was enormous. I like that it had an option for how sweet you wanna have it. I think there was too much ice and not enough syrup or condensed milk in the middle. By the time you reach half of the ice, there wasn't any more cream to compensate for the sweetness. Service was pretty good. We got our food in a timely manner. Busy place and lots of seating. It is expensive so be prepared. read more

Maybe this was our fault for not understanding what taro paste was, but I think it is assumed that whatever is in your drink would be able to be consumed with a straw. This was not the case. Please let me know if this is what you would expect for this type of drink and I just need to order something else. The store had a lot of seating and it looked like a nice spot to meet with friends. However, it was very noisy compared it to a cafe setting and there was no bathroom access. I might give them another try if someone can recommend a different drink, but I'm okay with this trip being my last as well. read more

Wanted to get some shave ice and try something new but the menu was kinda all over the place! Some of the bowls you can make it Hot and Cold but the one I wanted to order was "Hot" but asked if they can make it "Cold" they said they couldn't and ask them if there was anything similar to this item that is cold and the cashier didn't know what was similar to it or I don't know if she understood me. So I told my friend to just order whatever. And also got the jasmine milk tea. So my friend ordered this Cold Bowl with jelly and mochi balls. I gotta say it was kinda disappointing. It didn't taste as great. Underneath all the topping looked like it was all brown sugar! It was very sweet and was not what I expected. And the topping didn't taste as great as well. There was just too much jelly and it was just super sweet! It was overwhelming! The jasmine milk tea as well it was very very sweet! Didn't understand why they had to make everything so sweet! So we didn't even finish the bowl/ drink it was too much for us! And it wasn't helpful as well that the cashier didn't help recommend anything that was good/ popular. She just kept saying I'm not sure or I don't know. I hope this place changes soon! Or maybe make the workers to try the food and give out recommendations as well! read more

I was in the mood for hot Asian dessert today. You know the one in the bowl with tapioca balls, sago, agar agar, etc. While I was walking toward Foodland Farms to pick up my usual favorite fried chicken skins, I stopped by here first and to get a bowl of hot red bean soup signature. I though it was a decent bowl of dessert. A tad pricy but still reasonable. read more

Can I just say that I love that Meet Fresh is open late for dessert?! There are so few late-night dessert places in Honolulu. My family always has a hard time finding places to go for dessert after we're done eating dinner. We tried Meet Fresh and I am so glad we only got ONE large shave ice for three adults and one kid. It was MASSIVE and way too much for us. I wish we got a small! It was delicious, they serve a lot and is a great price point for what we got (this was about $20). They have a ton of seating inside and it's really nice. I will come back! read more

Meet Fresh is a great dessert place to check out after dinner. The place itself feels clean and open. It is a little tight when all the tables are in use, so we had to maneuver how we can since we had a baby stroller in our group. But the service is nice, it's not difficult to catch their attention when we're in need of extra utensils. My go-to is the tofu pudding. I love that they offer the option of hot or cold.

Got the new Pistachio Shave Ice. The portion is massive but I wish it came with a smaller size since we weren't able to finish and it turned to slush at the end. The pistachio and chocolate was very good, rich and creamy and not too sweet. It also comes with custard pudding, mochi, red fruit jelly, vanilla ice cream and boba on the side. The boba was warm when we got it and it was so delicious. It's soft and slightly sweetened that almost melts in your mouth. It's like a jelly. The shave ice however was a bit crunchy and rough which is hard to break apart sometimes. Nice, clean and modern place to sit in and chill. Service was also nice and fast. Not sure if I'll try shave ice again, but I'd like to try their milk tea and other desserts. read more

Great for a late night dessert since there aren't a lot of options for dessert past a certain time. Portions are huge so my friends and I usually share. I usually like to get one of the fruity shave ice options- strawberry or mango or a mix of both. The ice isn't your typical fine shave but the condensed milk syrup and fresh fruits great! We also tried the chocolate deluxe which was the mochi waffle, ice cream, plus toppings. Both were refreshing and a great dessert option. read more
