Review Summary

Meet Fresh is described as a go to dessert spot with large, shareable portions and a friendly staff, and the late hours make it easy to visit with friends. The selection of shaved ice, bingsu, and toppings like mango, strawberry, taro balls, grass jelly, and pudding gets many nods for bold flavors and good presentation. The atmosphere is often praised as comfortable and spacious, great for hanging out and taking photos, with friendly service noted by several reviewers. On the downside, the ice can feel more like crushed ice than true shaved ice, some fruit toppings are sparse or frozen, and a few drinks or toppings are either too chewy or bitter or priced high. Waiting times can be long at peak times, and in some cases the overall value is questioned when fruit is lacking or portions feel excessive. Still, Meet Fresh remains a solid option for late night dessert and for sharing with friends, with most guests leaving satisfied by the variety, the quality of desserts like taro balls and grass jelly, and the overall experience.View restaurant profile
