    Herbal tea
    Janet T.

    My hubby lives coming here and I like to tag along just to use the restroom before heading home. My hubby's favorites are the taro scoop, egg pudding, taro balls and the grass jelly with ice cream... SERVICE: B+ Mostly self service at the kiosk AMBIANCE: 7/10 There's always a weird almost like spoiled milk or flour every time I walk in. Sometimes the tables are not clean. The dryer inside the restroom doesn't work. At least they have a restroom for customers so amen to that... I got the HERBAL TEA 9/10 and actually really enjoyed it with some ice... KEEP ROCKN MEET FRESH!!!!!

    Phenomenal shaved ice and humongous! Enough for multiple people to share. Service was quick with plenty of indoor seating available. We always love coming here for a yummy dessert that isn't too sweet or heavy

    Huge chunks of semi-hard taro at bottom of my drink
    lisa j.

    Maybe I ordered the wrong drink, fresh milk green tea with taro paste, but it was gross. The drink looked appealing when I picked it up, but the cup was cold on top and really warm on the bottom. The heat melted a lot of my ice before I picked it up so the tea was very diluted. The taro paste was huge warm chunks of hot taro. It didn't taste good and it was hard to eat/drink. I do not recommend Meet Fresh. The shaved ice looked good so maybe that is what everyone was getting. The ordering was easy--zero human interaction though they still asked for a tip at the kiosk. No greeting, clean the tables yourself.

    Green Tea with Boba and Fluffy
    Vivian T.

    Boba runs are supposed to be simple. Walk in, order something sweet, and walk out happy. Meet Fresh usually fits that vibe with its Taiwanese desserts and milk teas which is why I decided to stop by. This place is great for studying. There's a wide range of table seating and WIFI is also provided. Though I came just for a quick visit to grab a boba drink to go. Here's what I noticed. This place is super inconsistent. There's a weird old milk smell that lingers around the shop sometimes and several menu items are often unavailable or marked off the menu with tape. It gives the place a trashy essence even though the shop tries to promote a clean modern aesthetic. Some of the booth seating leather or material is ripped from wear and tear which also makes the place look a little under maintained. There are two kiosks that you can order from which helps the employees out and gives customers the ability to see menu pictures and customize their drinks however they would like. I ordered the green tea with boba and fluffy which is their soft top foam. I have been to Meet Fresh before and have previously seen that they have a fluffy green tea option but didn't find it on the kiosk today which was weird since all the ingredients are available. Again inconsistent. I got my drink with half sugar. My sister got a green milk tea and mentioned that there was no option for no sugar which was strange since most boba shops allow that customization. There's almost no interaction with the staff as they send you an "order ready" text to your phone number you provide at the kiosk and then leave the drink there for you to grab at the counter. Most times there is an employee there to verify which drink is yours especially when it's busy but not today. My drink came out super sweet almost like 100 percent sweet. I even overheard one of the other guests mention that their dessert tasted like eating straight up sugar. Most Asian desserts usually lean on the less sweet side so I'm not sure what's going on but I definitely have had better experiences here last year. On the bright side the boba itself was nicely cooked and chewy. The pearls had a good texture. l also really liked the fluffy topping because it adds a creamy foam layer that brings extra richness to the drink and balances the tea pretty well.

    Shaved ice

    This shaved ice tower was so huge! But I really enjoyed eating it. Took a long time preparing it, definitely waited over 10 minutes but worth the wait! The tables weren't very clean which is why I docked the 1 star but I really enjoyed this dessert.

    Q Mochi &  Caramel Pudding Combo
    Justin C.

    Came here with some friends craving a sweet treat after getting hot pot in the same plaza. They have two self-serve kiosks for ordering but the UI is challenging to navigate so the line moved very slowly despite only two groups in front of us. I ordered a winter melon tea with lemon. My friends ordered a pudding and mochi shaved ice. My winter melon tea was ok but the shaved ice was a disaster. The ice was chunky and nearly impossible to eat. We asked if the ice machine was broken but the workers assured us the machine was working fine. This was unfortunately not acceptable for shaved ice. The ice cream and pudding toppings were thankfully pretty good.

    Typical Meet Fresh. I always use the screen to order so experience was consistent. These places are always filled with aloof college-age-kid staff and this location was no different. Orders came out quick and accurate. Everything tasted well made. Textures were all there. Flavors were right. Very typical Meet Fresh. Got the purple rice B with sesame balls and that sucker was packed. So A+ for portion. Store was clean and organized. No empty trays or bowls laying around. Good spot. I'd come again.

    Meet Fresh is one of my go-to spots when I'm craving dessert. Everything we had was so good--fresh, perfectly sweet, and really satisfying.It's also a great place to just hang out with friends. The space is nice and comfortable, perfect for catching up and staying a while.Service was good too--friendly and efficient, which always makes the experience better. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to whenever I want a solid dessert fix!

    Mango green tea with lychee
    Maria C.

    Meet fresh is a delightful dessert restaurant. I love the simplicity of the ingredients and the subtle sweetness. As recommended by the kind hostess, Elena, we ordered the pudding &Q mochi milk shaved ice. The dessert was an enormous mountain of caramel flavored ice, almond pudding, mochi jelly, vanilla ice cream, condensed milk and coconut flakes. We shared it among four people and still were not able to finish it. Customer service was fast, friendly, and efficient. There was plenty of seating inside for families and friends to enjoy. The restaurant is located in one of Mira Mesa's busiest shopping centers, so parking can be a bit of a challenge on the weekends, but its worth it!

    The shaved ice reminds me of taiwan. I tried the Taro Milk shaved ice (pictured) and it was the best. The service was good, ordering with the kiosk. I will come back again next time

    Q Mochi Shaved Ice
    Maria H.

    Fun dessert shop in Mira Mesa. Parking is a pain, this strip mall is always busy due to the In-N-Out, Daiso, and HMart market. Very cute decor inside. The service is ok, you don't really interact with any of the employees until they call your number, since you order through the self-serve tablet. We ordered the Q Mochi shaved ice. The dessert is huge, easily sharable for 3-4 people. It has lots of mochi, melon jelly, potaro balls, ice cream, coconut flakes, condensed milk, and some caramel sauce. It was so refreshing and delicious, the mochi was soft and chewy, and melon jelly was yummy. We'll be back to try other desserts.

    Menu. Seen 7/2025. Seasonal items not available though.
    Ryan S.

    Their mangoberry milk shave ice is delicious. Came by here today, but they didn't have it (off the menu currently). Got the signature glass jelly instead, with sesame balls. This is yummy. Tried to order on small kiosk, but it didn't work (it doubles as an employee tablet and was dirty). So the employee was nice to take our order. Plenty of table inside. Place is pretty clean. There is a hand wash station. Take your tray and trash to the back when you are done. Went to 86 degrees down the street after to get a mango strawberry smoothie :)

    Susie T.

    I am not a big fan of bing su or mochi type desserts but this was pretty decent. 4 stars bc the person at the register helped me out. I just wanted a caramel pudding without boba, so instead of making me pay full price for pudding without boba, she added it on to an existing dessert and just added extra pudding for 1.25$ is didn't have to pay 10$! That was really helpful amd awesome of her. There are plenty of tables to sit at and bring your laptop to chill. Its a relaxed setting. The dessert itself can be overwhelming if there are too much sugary stuff. The ice cream part of my dessert was really good and the grass jelly on my other dessert was pretty good. Overall, the desserts are really delicious and the medium is really large! 3 people can share!

The latte was good, and my friend bought a kitchen sink type cookie with chocolate, coconut, and macadamia nuts. It was warm and gooey good! Another friend tried the gelato and said it was very good. There are a few tables inside and tables out in front outside. We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful San Diego weather. The decor and tables definitely gives you an old school Italian neighborhood vibe with Italian markets right next door. If I am in the neighborhood again, I would definitely come back here to try the gelato and/or a piece of an excellent looking lemon pie bar I spotted.

It was a warm day but we got there at 5:15pm and the sun was starting to go behind the downtown buildings. Negative: service. It seems if you are a regular, like the two tables near us, they chat it up and talk about how things are. If you aren't a regular, they just quickly come by and say "anything else?" the two times they came by. Im a huge water drinker so the carafe they brought only refilled our cups once. Never got another one until we were done and they came by asking about dessert. They weren't busy by any stretch on a Tuesday evening but apparently the frequent customers either tip really well or they prefer familiar faces. I assume the latter. So, I mean the food itself was great but service was not good. I mean we went when it was slow too and the host was talking it up with a frequent customer also asking about the changes recently to parking in their area nearby.... So, it puts this review as a 3/5.

Each were fantastic, but the family really enjoyed the Fusilli and the Pappardelle the most! The short rib meat was extremely tender and flavorful.
