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!
This is huge lol. I didn't expect the size like this. Glacé pillée au lait de cassonade is with pearls, pudding, taro balls, coffee jelly &'mochi-jelly'. Delicious ~

Egg waffle with red beans
the taro balls were frozen at first, & when I explained, they were extremely considerate of my view & gave me compensation.
Hot desserts have always been my favorites & this place offered a wide variety of them. The hot Tofu Pudding (which was lukewarm on my last visit) with taro & red bean was satisfying. The portion was enormous, perfect for sharing.
Got to the store 30 minutes before they closed & they were still busy haha. I ordered the signature grass jelly with taro balls & it was a lot. I was so full. They used to have this brand in Winnipeg but they closed down :( it would be lovely to have this dessert during summer time
