Seven words. Red Bean Soup. QQ Mochi Egg Waffle…read more Meet Fresh is a well known Asian dessert chain that we've had in multiple places across the US, including California, New Jersey and Chicago. We were obsessed with the Meet Fresh in Chicago and visited it practically every week when we lived there. (Looks like the Chicago one is closed now, boo...). It's actually quite fortunate that we need to drive at least 30 minutes to our nearest Meet Fresh now, because I think otherwise we probably would get dessert here every other week. The desserts at the Meet Fresh in Tangram Mall in Flushing are just as delicious as every other Meet Fresh that we've ever been to. Meet Fresh is really the only place I know in the US to offer a nice, hot, sweet, delicious red bean soup with glutinous rice balls, boba and other toppings. The crispy Hong Kong-style bubble waffles (QQ mochi egg waffles) are a bit easier to find, but I have not found any as good as those at Meet Fresh. I do see a few people complaining about the service. It's really self-service here. Order at the kiosk, get your food and clean it up yourself. Trust me, it's worth it.

Always wanted to try Meet Fresh and was excited to see that the one in Tangram is nice, close, and…read morespacious! I came on a weekday night with my friends after dinner and there were no guests sitting or ordering. They have a kiosk for you to order from by yourself but it is set very high so it may be out of reach for some people. When I tried to order with the cashier at the counter, I was not greeted with a hello or a smile. The lady would give me one word responses and not accommodate me in any way. I've been wanting to try their shaved ice specially the Thai Tea series so I was pleasantly surprised that they still have it. I ordered the Thai Tea Shaved Ice in the medium size and it was about $20~. This was the smaller size out of the two, but even so it is meant for at least two people. It comes with toppings such as pudding, boba, mochi, sago, scoop of vanilla Ice-Cream, and coconut flakes. I had no idea it came with coconut flakes as that's a big no-no for me. I'm also not a fan of boba, mochi, or sago but the lady said they are irreplaceble. I really wanted grass jelly but I did not want to pay an additional cost when there are so many toppings already in the bowl I cannot finish. The pudding and vanilla Ice-Cream are good and elevates the whole dessert platter, but the ice melts pretty quickly when it's just one person eating it. I wished they have a small size for a cheaper price for people who just wants to eat alone because it's crazy that my dessert is more expensive than my dinner! Also, I wished the employees were more accommodating with the toppings. It was a decent experience overall as the place is very spacious and comfortable. My friends and I enjoyed our desserts and catching up with each other. There is no restroom inside the dessert shop. You have to walk out to the shared one with the whole mall next to the food court.

Thought bathrooms were clean. Service (5/5): You use the call button to get their attention at the front and the server came immediately once called. The food came at intervals. Food (5/5): Sadly they were out of all the crepe cakes which looked really good. The prices for the menu items were relatively affordable! Shaved Ice with Mango milk (+$1 upgrade for the face): For the pic, we upgraded! The features were edible. The flavoring was tasty! Ice cream with boba: This one was my favorite! The ice cream was rich, creamy/heavy, and coupled well with the boba. The boba was nested below the large scoops of ice cream so a little hard to get to. (I wonder if they make the ice cream in-house as their fridge was stocked with whole milk!) Black sesame with rice balls (hot): This was my least favorite but still good. Forward black sesame taste, more congealed than I would have liked, not sweet at all! With tip, the 3 desserts landed at $50.

But, this spot hides a really cozy space to enjoy some desserts with friends. Service here is pretty quick, and kind. I got their soy milk shaved ice and it was so good. The shaved ice was light and it tasted exactly like soy milk (which I love). It also came with cheese foam, ice cream, and mochi. It was the perfect dessert that wasn't too heavy or sweet. Would love to come back to try some of their other items.

I was super…read moreexcited to try this place out because there's a similar place in the Bay Area that I frequent which is also coconut theme - Tong Sui. I haven't found the equivalent in NYC yet so I was excited to try this place out. We ordered the Mango Pudding and I was a little confused. First there was a lot of these coconut popping boba on top? The pudding had more of a mousse consistency than a jello consistency which is what I had originally expected and I feel like you couldn't taste the coconut as well. I'm glad however they did use fresh mango. I will probably give this place another shot when they open in Manhattan but will probably get a drink instead of a pudding next time.

The lady who asked me rather persistently but nicely whether I was looking for anything specific kinda set the tone, and I was motivated to pick something up. In this case, I got a truly snack sized pumpkin rice cake complete with pine nuts, peanuts, and pumpkin powder. It was chock-full of nuts and had just the right kind of sweetness to help get the day going. I could tell that it was made with care. I wouldn't think twice about going back.

I had a tasty cappuccino with almond milk and had room to work in the back. It is very neat and clean as well and they seem to have a nice variety of coffee based, teas and non-coffee drinks as well. I did not get the food-but it seems to be Korean style and looked tasty when I saw others eating. Only downside is that street parking is two hrs only and you have to pay. Also it is fairly small in the back-so if you come on a busy day you may not get a seat. I will absolutely come back however to work-next time I am in the area.
