Each menu item emphasizes natural flavors prepared through meticulous boiling and cooling techniques to achieve precise textures.

Ordered the thai milk tea & S9, thai tea taste very artificial, too far from the real one & the platter with square & transparent dessert. I can't say if they are good nor bad, really lack of words to describe. Maybe its just really not for me.

We ordered the Gemini milk shaved ice. The taste is ok, it's sweet but not too sweet. We would have loved if they put more mangos & strawberries since the filling ends quickly & we were only eating ice once the fruits were over. We would have loved if it was shaved milk instead of just ice. It was about 17$ & we were 3 people & it's really filling for all of us. I wouldn't order it again since it was mostly just like eating ice

Ordered the Avocado Milk Shaved Ice. The wait was long despite there being very few customers & the presentation was not great… spoons were also visibly dirty & sticky! Toppings did not have much taste but the overall dessert was good.

Note, the milk shaved ice is actually just shaved ice (not bingsu style). The ice was very chunky.

Overall, disappointed with my experience here & would not come back.

I ordered via ubereats a BOGO deal Dalgona milk tea (10$). Man, that tea is so bitter! I don't think I'll order again from here.

I order a Ube & taro paste signature served on shaved ice. Taro & sweet potato balls are so chewy, very fresh. One scoop of taro & ube are not so sweet. It balance very well the whole taste with grass jelly. Optional milk less than 3 mL can added. For the price, it's a good portion to share for 2-3 persons

I'm in love with their cold desserts. Not a big fan of their boba drinks (at least those I've tried). I would recommend their brown sugar milk shaved ice

I had a really good visit to this cute little bubble tea & dessert place! They seem to have a huge selection of different types of slush, bubble tea, milk drinks as well as desserts such as shaved ice. I got the Sweet Potato & Taro Ball Milk & loved it! The avocado milk with boba is tasty too! I also tried the Oreo Tornado dessert which I wasn't a huge fan of but that's just personal taste. Their boba & taro balls are some of the better ones I've had. Be prepared to wait 10-15min for your drink though if they have a lot of customers passing through. I'll definitely come back to have more drinks & desserts in this place as they seem to have a large selection! They also have quite a lot of space to sit down & enjoy your time. It's one of the only places in this area where I've found good WiFi, so it's great for if you want to get some studying done too! Good job, Meet Fresh! See you soon!

They made a gluten free dessert especially for me! (I'm celiac) - shaved ice with fruits & condensed milk. So good! Best dessert for summer time 🤤
