    Ice Grass Jelly Combo C, takeout edition
    Jiali L.

    I was sad to see the Manhattan location close down but was thankful there is one in Jersey City!  This has become a semi regular spot of mine when I'm in the mood for a dessert.  I often go with a friend and we'll have dessert dates here.  Our favorites include the tofu pudding series or the grass jelly signature series.  During the summer my current favorite is the Icy Grass Jelly Signature C but I've had the hot version on a cooler day.  The hot grass jelly doesn't have as much structure so the cold version is definitely better. The portion size is solid and it really hits the spot!  You have the option to build your own if you don't like the preset options which is great.  When taro is included in the dessert, while good, it's a huge chunk so after I tried it, I usually opt out now since it's not super digestible and is a bit dry (I appreciate the generosity/amount though). This is a fast casual spot so interactions with staff are usually minimal and you can place orders on one of their two kiosks (or directly with a person at the front).  Other items of note, the loyalty program wasn't super straightforward to sign up for and you couldn't do it right away from the kiosk.  It requires you to download the app and sign up before you could get any benefits so that was slightly frustrating since you'd miss out if you didn't have time to do that immediately. I usually go to Meet Fresh for their desserts though I have also tried their drinks.  Some of their specialty drinks are nice (I tried a grass jelly slushie that was seasonal at the time and I enjoyed that a lot) but their other regular bubble tea drinks aren't particularly standout (though they are expensive). Seating is also more limited now than it used to be since the space is shared with another store that sells Chinese smoked meats and cold appetizers.  I'm still a huge fan of theirs and will continue to frequent their location.  They make desserts well so give them a try if you're in the area!

    Came here for some Taiwanese dessert for me and mom. I got the brown sugar boba tea and hot red bean soup with taro. Love the boba texture, soft but chewy, great tea flavor. Red bean soup is very rich. Self order kiosk or you can order at the counter. The staff is very friendly. Some tables and bar tables for the customers. Most people do take out but it's a nice hang out place for friends.

    Q milk
    Alex F.

    Looking for a dessert place, we ordered this off of uber eats. The q milk was pretty good and refreshing. Not so sweet, and a healthy amount of taro. The caramel pudding was delicious and the mochi was the best part of our order. The boba on the side was a good touch. Unfortunately, the taro bowl wasn't very good. It tasted different to the similar dishes I've had before. I wouldn't recommend this order. Overall, not bad. I would like to try the matcha deluxe if we were to order from here again.

    On Lunar New Year weekend, we stopped by Meet Fresh after our lunch. The store was somewhat clean and tidy. There was no mango items in menu again. This time we ordered couple of fruit tea, milk tea and desserts. Our items were prepared in few minutes, since there was no else in the store. The fruit and milk tea were good. My family loved their tofu pudding dessert.

    (Overall: C) - Overall, I like Meet Fresh as it offers a reasonable Chinese dessert option in Jersey City. The desserts could improve in terms of execution, but is of pleasant quality to enjoy in a pinch. (Wintermelon Tea: B) - I enjoyed the flavor of this simple wintermelon tea, which gives off grassy herbal notes of healing. It was only $6, which is pretty good for tea these days, especially as this flavor has not been popularized in the city. (Matcha Egg Waffle: C) - The matcha flavor added some earthy backbone to the waffle. Unfortunately, I found the batter to be a bit too cakey as it did not hold structure and lacked a pleasant airy crispiness like other waffles. -- Food: E Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: E Menu: +1 Overall: +1 C Insta/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    Listen I had the coco mochi sago drink and it was so good! I was on a layover in town and this was a new feature display. It had coconut and sago and tasted AUTHENTIC like the time I visited Taiwan. Very cutely decorated and comfortable. You order on a self service screen and the drink was prepared very fast, granted there was only three people in the shop. Will definitely look for a meet fresh in my area!

    Shaved Mango
    Waylon J.

    An incredibly cute place to check out. We were in the Newport area and decided to walk into the Newport mall. The outside is really inviting with clean large windows. Walking in, the vibe was a mix of a cute tea shop you'd find in Asia mixed with a coffee shop vibe. We were impressed really by the size of the menu - there was so much to choose from. We decided to order the shaved mango ice and the mango green tea slush. Overall, the taste was sweet and perfect for a hot summer day. They also have warm options on the menu and many specials that include taro. I would say the mango wasn't anything unique that I've never tasted before but still good. Next time, I'll probably check their specials that have taro, red bean, or grass jelly. They have a loyalty program so I'll definitely be ordering again!

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature
    Irene H.

    I'm ecstatic that Meet Fresh opened in the area. It tastes great like the other locations. I typically like the tofu with peanut (can adjust sugar) and the Icy Grass Jelly Signature. Service has been hit or miss. It was really busy for a Thursday night when I had to wait 15 minutes for 2 items. One item was wrong - I ordered per the menu's Chinese name and they thought I ordered something entirely different. They made the replacement item and refunded/recharged me since there was a $ difference, but when I got home I realized I didn't get the add-on I paid for.

    Double taro signature
    Stephen L.

    Meet Fresh is quite a unique and tasty place for Taiwanese dessert! I got the Double Taro Signature, which had ice cream, taro paste, taro balls (small sweet and chewy balls of taro), and grass jelly. I've seen each of these ingredients many times, but this is the only place I've seen that put them all together like this. The paste on the bottom (not 100% sure what it was) was not as tasty as the part on the top though. It was $10.25, which isn't cheap, but also isn't that bad considering the large portion size and many ingredients inside. The shop is conveniently right inside the Newport Mall. The service speed is ok and the staff are friendly. The place itself is a nice space with some seating (there are also tables in the nearby public outdoor areas). Overall, I would highly recommend Meet Fresh if you're in the mood for some Taiwanese desserts. They have an extensive menu of desserts like mine (both hot and cold) as well as drinks, so there will probably be something that appeals to you!

    Icy Taro Ball Signature
    Jason L.

    Ordered the shaved ice with taro and tapioca balls. It taste like Taiwanese style. With warm texture on the top and icy flavour on the bottom.

    Mickie K.

    I really love meet fresh but really no rice balls left gosh I was so disappointed. This locations isn't good at all. There is definitely better ones out there. This store isn't inside the newport mall it's on the opposite side. They have a variety of items on their menu but honestly they always run out of something so it's hard to get what I really want. Also the bubble teas here doesn't taste good.

    Q Mochi Shaved Ice, Winter Melon Tea, Jasmine Green Tea
    Allison C.

    We were in the area and wanted to try something new. Looking online, I saw so many things that I wanted to try, like the bubble waffle, boba tea, and q mochi shaved ice. When I started ordering, I was able to get the shaved ice, but pretty much nothing else I wanted. I was told that the boba wasn't done brewing yet, and that they were not selling egg waffles at this time, which seemed like two of their main menu items from online. I just wish the online menu had reflected what was going to be in store, because I was disappointed. I had the winter melon tea and jasmine green tea instead which were both good. I enjoy the q mochi shaved ice too. I don't think I'll be in a rush to return, but I was happy to have tried something new.

    One of our go-to spots while in Taipei and was excited to find it stateside. This location is one of many located throughout the states. Tucked away in the entrance off Washington Blvd with no parking out front, so not convenient for a quick stop if driving. Portions are hefty and prices start around $10 but can quickly add up with additional toppings. I had the hot tofu with red beans, grass jelly, and half sugar (which was sweet enough for me). Would definitely be back to try the many different options. Really hoping to catch the hot almond soup, which is seasonal. Enjoy!

    Established in 1968, this long-established shop makes all its ice cream in-house. Not only are the…read moreportions generous, but the texture is also incredibly smooth and silky, without any icy crystals or a hard, frozen consistency. Holding it or tasting it gives a substantial, high-quality feel. However, the consequence is that even the staff struggles to scoop it out with their spherical ice cream scoops, let alone the disposable plastic spoons provided to customers. Green Tea: The highest praise Chinese people can give for desserts--not sweet--and it truly tastes like green tea, not matcha. The refreshing bitterness was incredibly pure, even bordering on slightly bitter, which is extremely rare in the US. Vanilla Peanut Butter: Very milky, but extremely salty, like eating peanut butter spread on bread. The vanilla flavor was almost completely masked. Coconut & Cream: I've always trusted American coconut ice cream, but this time it was a bit of a disappointment. The cream completely overshadowed the coconut, so much so that it took me a long time to recall what flavor I actually ordered. Ube: One bite brought back childhood memories, exactly the same as the ube flavor Wuyang五羊 ice cream cone. It was so touching I didn't order this in the end since I want to try more flavors as possible. I don't know why, but ube flavor seems to be gradually fading in China... Blueberry Cheesecake: The initial taste was a rich, sweet cream, with a refreshing hint of blueberry tartness in the aftertaste. It's pretty good, but honestly, it's not particularly outstanding. Banana Peanut Butter Chunk: The staff recommended this signature dish, and it once again made me realize how subjective taste can be... It's on the sweeter and saltier side, with a very strong flavor, but more importantly, it has a noticeable artificial banana flavor.

    I'm already planning my next visit...YUM! First time here and it did not disappoint! I'm so glad I…read morefound yummy homemade ice cream at a family owned spot. There's so many yummy flavors - it's hard to choose! I ultimately went with the rocky road (my classic favorite) and the cheesecake with rainbow sprinkles (because why not!?) and enjoyed every bite! I think the rocky road could've used more marshmallows but that's my personal preference for my favorite childhood fave ice cream. Service was great and allow you to try a couple flavors if you're unsure which is great as not all ice cream spots makes the flavors the same! It's only street parking so get ready to search for that when you come to visit - but it's worth it! And read street signs so you don't get towed or ticketed.

So get anything fresh, like made to order cakes or things you see come out right when you're there. Otherwise you run the risk of getting old stuff, which sucks that they don't manage that at all. On a Sunday afternoon lines moved quickly and we were able to find seats. This is a cute cafe that offers plenty of savory items and lunches, plus drinks like matcha, cakes, pastries and cookies. There is also a bathroom! The women behind the counter were all nice and patient with my questions, they also kept the line moving and were quick. I had high hopes for the Alfajores as this is an Argentinian bakery but unfortunately the ones given to me were stale. The cookie was very hard. Also the Dulce de leche was too sweet and burnt tasting to me. I also got a chocolate covered one and the cookie in that was also hard and dry. The strawberry croissant was amazing. Never had anything like that before. Not too sweet and very flaky. It has a ribbon of red on the outside which gives it a unique look. I would love to come back and try savory items. I'll continue to stick with the cakes and croissants for desert and make sure it's fresh!
