Reviews of Meet Fresh show a mix of admiration for fresh, authentic Taiwanese desserts and some frustration with texture and value. Taro balls and bingsu are praised for their chewiness, bold flavors, and generous portions, with many noting a calm, clean ambiance and a vibe suited for studying or hanging out. The staff are described as friendly and sometimes even thoughtful, such as when a birthday is celebrated. On the downside, some items disappoint, including ice that many say is not shaved ice but crushed ice, uneven fruit in the toppings, chewy tapioca, or a lack of mango and fruit relative to the dessert size, and a few mentions of long wait times and higher prices. The menu's wide range, including strawberry and mango desserts, avocado milk shaved ice, red bean and taro ball combos, and coffee jelly, is repeatedly cited as a strength, with many enjoying sharing portions with friends. Overall, Meet Fresh comes across as a solid late-night dessert spot with bold flavors and big portions, though experiences can vary.
I really enjoyed the flavours of their drinks & their grass jelly specialty dessert. It was just the right level of sweetness. However, I feel like the tapioca was a bit too chewy for my liking. Additionally, the price is a bit too expensive in my opinion. The bowl was around 15$ which is expensive to me because it only had chewy chunks that seemed like tapioca & grass jelly. I was expecting at least some fruits but it was missing a bit in my opinion. As for the bubble tea, I feel like 9$ is an acceptable price but it was a pretty basic drink though. It was a decent size & I did really like the flavours of the tapioca but once again, it was a bit too chewy in my opinion.
That mango shaved ice is insanely good. The ice cream ball at the top was ironically the highlight instead of the (still very good) shaved ice which i think is frozen juice/tea/syrup & not just frozen water. Price was a bit expensive, & the mangos were frozen with a very uncomfortable texture. Honestly if I could just order the ice cream at the top, I would.
Love this place for hanging out, many varieties in boba & desserts & ice cream! Love that this place closes late, very appreciated! Amazing bubble tea & waffles
Came here so many times, I can ensure you will get desserts what Taiwanese people usually eat. I always get the icy herbal tea with grass jelly & whipped cream. Always good but too bad the sugar level can't be adjusted.

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!
The tofu is extremely delicious ! Very original "jelly" like desserts & bubble teas. It was clean & calm inside so I totally recommend for a date with friends
Nice place to hang out with friends after eating at one of the numerous restaurants on Ste Catherine. They have shaved ice, traditionnal soup desserts, bubble tea, ice cream etc. Beware : super sweet.

I ordered a brown sugar coffee bubble tea on a delivery app & it just tastes like sugary milk... no coffee taste at all. It also came in an ugly opaque cup & when I punctured it with a straw it didn't stay airtight, so the tea leaked out everywhere. Waste of money.
My partner & I went there for the "Too Good To Go" app. Yes, we knew the food would be older. What we didn't know was that the old food was just a random mash up of different dishes. We had a "sugary bean soup" which tasted questionable. They also gave us boba tea with beans in them. We couldn't finish the food. Anyways, the staff & atmosphere when picking the food up was awesome.
