Each menu item emphasizes natural flavors prepared through meticulous boiling and cooling techniques to achieve precise textures. The signature shaved ice bowls serve as a foundational element, layered with sweet red beans, chewy tapioca pearls, and rich herbal jellies. Hot soup bases made with ginger or peanut provide warming alternatives to the chilled options. The beverage selection features high-quality tea leaves brewed to order, often paired with milk or fruit infusions for depth. Patrons encounter a consistent aesthetic centered on minimalist wooden furniture and bright, functional seating areas designed for efficient service. This establishment maintains global standards for ingredient sourcing to preserve the integrity of classic Eastern dessert profiles.

Both I & my boyfriend really like to eat Meetfresh taro & grass jelly. Everything is yummy! We used to have 1 Meetfresh location in Winnipeg because we live in Winnipeg but too bad they closed it. But we made it out to try in Montreal. Hopefully in the future, we have another Meetfresh in Winnipeg!

Great place for Taiwanese desserts, tastes great I recommend the taro bowl. Downside is that it is a bit on the pricey side for what it is.

Taro Ball Heaven! The taro paste & ube flavors here are so authentic. Best Taiwanese dessert spot on Sainte-Catherine Ouest.

I haven't had Meetfresh in many years, & my last time was as a kid in China, where it was super popular & my parents always took me for their tasty desserts.

I ordered the taro ball max because the picture showed a huge portion with all my favorite toppings. But when I got it, I was a little shocked: the whole bowl was basically shaved ice, with only a small amount of toppings in the corners. It didn't look like the photo at all, & I think I expected too much lol (oops). The sweet shaved ice plus boba was just way too sweet for me. (It's my personal opinion, however, if you are a big fan of crumbl then this dessert bowl is not too sweet at all!)

I did like how chewy the taro balls were. But if you don't love shaved ice, you might want to pick something else because this one was so icy it felt like eating a popsicle, haha.

I appreciated that they list the calories for each bowl, which is helpful if you're watching your daily intake. The service was amazing, & the store has a really nice aesthetic. I'll definitely come back to try other items!!!!!

We had a taro icy ball. I guess it's a difference between cultures & nostalgia, but I really didn't find anything interesting about it. Just bowl of ice (not fine like snow), brown sugar & some starch balls. Really bland.

Absolutely loved my visit to Meet Fresh! I ordered Taro Ball #3, & it was really delicious-perfectly chewy taro balls, great texture, & just the right level of sweetness. Everything tasted fresh & authentic, & it was super satisfying without being too heavy. A fantastic spot for Taiwanese desserts.

The store itself was quiet & clean, with people working or studying, which created a calm & comfortable vibe. It has a nice ambiance to enjoy your food with your family or friends. Everything felt fresh & welcoming. Definitely a place I'd come back to again!

the taro balls were frozen at first, & when I explained, they were extremely considerate of my view & gave me compensation.
