    Ice grass jelly custom
    Tina L.

    Taste: 4/5 pretty good. I initially found it lacking in flavor, but it really grew on me. The shaved ice combined with the herbal jelly gave a faint sweet taste that was very satisfying. The taro balls also had a great texture. Cost: 2/5. I understand that the menu says 10 taro balls, but when the picture is filled with them, and you only get 9, the dessert looks underwhelming. It was fun to try, but I won't be paying that much again for this item. Can't speak on service because I got this on uber eats!

    Food: 4.00/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 I enjoy the icy grass jelly special a lot, because it's a refreshing desert that isn't too sweat at all, and I like the creaminess the cream packet adds to it. The taro balls are the best texture and taste delicious without any particularly large flavor. The fruit tea boba is pretty solid, I've never had milk tea here before though. Bubble waffles could improve, tube gotten the red bean matcha a couple times and I think it could be sweater. Service is typically a little slow, nothing terrible, but the people do not seem the happiest to be there. Ambiance is very open dialogue, many lively discussions happening and very causal, but space is small and I frequently have trouble finding seating and end up taking my stuff to go. It's very close to the public parking lot behind Blanchard's and street parking, so pretty forgiving as a greater Boston area for drivers.

    Taro Volcano
    Anna F.

    This place is a vibe! It's basically like a dessert restaurant or a dessert café. Devoted entirely to dessert from Taiwan that likely gives people a taste of home, for that amazing nostalgia factor. For my boyfriend and I it was a new experience. We got this volcano taro dessert that was fire. It took me back to my childhood when my dad would pour condensed milk on fresh snow as a treat for us. This volcano ice has the works- ice cream, caramel, pudding (like flan), condensed milk, boba, taro... just so many textures and flavors. This is a great place to come and hang out with friends on a hot day.

    Hot Grass Jelly Soup Signature - Before you mix it
    John Y.

    Walked in and was immediately bombarded by 2 girls selling us on downloading and ordering through their Hungry Panda app. There was a free gift and my kids wanted it so we did it, lol. Hot Grass Jelly Soup Signature - This doesn't look very good but my wife enjoyed it. I thought it was okay, kind of bland, not that sweet. Wished we got the red bean instead. Chocolate waffle - Completely missed that they had a chocolate CHIP version which may have been better. However, the waffle was overcooked. Place is decent and the options seem good, so we may come back. Its so conveniently located right in the middle of the allston food scene where street meter parking is abundant (but not easy to get). The dining area is clean and decor is modern and pleasing. Staff was friendly in answering questions.

    Meet Fresh is a Taiwanese dessert shop tucked right in Packard's Corner, offering a wide variety of hot and cold dessert bowls. When we went, staff interaction was pretty minimal -- they were mainly focused on preparing the orders, which was fine since it gave me time to browse the large menu. One thing that threw me off was the odd smell when we walked in; kind of like body odor, but could've just been someone in the shop, so I won't judge too harshly on that. We got the Thai Tea Tofu Pudding and the Signature Grass Jelly. The grass jelly bowl was decent overall -- the jelly itself was good, but the shaved ice didn't really add much. The Thai Tea Tofu Pudding, unfortunately, was a miss. Even though we were only 5 minutes from home, it completely melted by the time we got there. The Thai tea tasted like watered-down powder, and the tofu didn't really have any flavor -- just a block of silken tofu with not much going on. The red bean balls were the highlight, but not enough to save it. Pretty disappointing first experience. Might give it another shot in the future, but only to try something different.

    Crystal Mochi Shaved Ice and Chocolate Chip Bubble Waffle
    Gia H.

    Interesting menu! I was curious about crystal mochi - it is not like mochi at all; it has more of a jelly texture with red bean paste filling. It was good but I prefer mochi. Overall, the shaved ice was yummy. Ambiance was nice. I sat next to a sunny window that offset the coldness of the shaved ice.

    Nice spot for shaved ice condensed milk mochi, i think the only thing that would elevate it even more is have more fruit add ons or any fruit add ons for the shaved ice items. It was still yummy, flavor soaks down so when you get to the bottom of the bowl there's a lot of flavor at the bottom and in the middle of the ice mound. The service was quick get a buzzer, and pick it up when the staff is done making your plate. We shared a large and it was definitely a lot haha. Had different types of mochi around the shaved ice. I believe we got the Q mochi milk shaved ice. I can't find my picture of it but if i find it I'll upload! Alotta folks from the dinners around the area stopped in after. Another couple that sat next to us earlier for dinner also showed up there! Does have bathrooms and plenty of seating space.

    Grass jelly bowl
    Sandra S.

    Wasn't too sweet and a nice little dessert. I don't say this often but I kind of wish it was a little sweeter. First time not getting the shaved ice and wasn't dissatisfied. I still prefer the shaved ice but this is a good alternative if you want something less filling. I really like their Mochis as it had a the perfect chew. I will try the taro one bowl next time. Location wasn't too busy for a 7pm on a Friday.

    Pudding & Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice
    Yueh Qi C.

    Great place to go after grabbing a spicy Szechuan meal! Got the Pudding & Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice, ordered a large because it was only $1 extra but it was HUGE (we shared between two people and struggled to finish it). The toppings were pretty good overall, but if I were to be picky, I would have liked to swap out the almond pudding and regular mochi (a lil tasteless)

    A no frills dessert place. Ambiance was decent and noise was an acceptable level. A nice place to go after eating at nearby restaurants. I would order a medium next time as we couldn't finish the large after a meal at mountain house.

    Brown sugar shaved ice
    Amy C.

    Recommended by a couple coworkers for their milk tea and shaved ice so finally gave it a try. Milk tea reminds me of the hk milk tea. Love!! The brown sugar shaved ice was soo good and refreshing. We got a large for two to share and it was huge! I just hoped for more toppings on it. In the end, we were left with just large amounts of shaved ice left. I would come back!

    Somujjwal D.

    Really enjoyed my shaved ice here! The taro toppings went along with the vanilla flavored ice cream very well. The prices are reasonable and the service is great! Would highly recommend!

    Howie H.

    we stopped in this past Sunday for a shaved ice. The order came out, the toppings were on the conservative por The shaved ice was not shaved ice but in actuality, ice chunks. we've had this problem in the past, but we thought it was in one time, anomaly, sadly to say, it's a continuous thing. i hear other tables complain about the same thing.

    I love HeyTea! Still my favorite location to go to in MA…read more I've experienced the least amount of problems here, compared to the other two (Newbury St. & Natick). PLUS, they close later than both. I have this bad habit of going here almost every time I have a meal in the area LOL. The addiction is real! I love that they keep adding new drinks to their menu... keeps it interesting. My favorite is still the Mango Coconut Boom but I'm a fan of most of their new drinks, like the Golden Oolong Yuzu & their King Jasmine Guava! I tried the Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, as well, and it's super similar to one of my favorites from MollyTea. I prefer the one from MollyTea more w/ champaca tea. Since their opening here, I have tried almost all of the drinks & their mango coconut boom is STILL superior! Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mango. It is pretty much their version of mango pomelo sago (they have a version with pomelo but I like it without). SO GOOD! ***Pro tip: order ahead of time via HeyTea app. This is a lifesaver, since the wait time is pretty atrocious most days still. Usually takes ~20 min to be ready.

    LOVEDDDD THIS! so refreshing and perfect for pistachio lovers…read more there's typically a ~20min wait for this location but it goes by fast honestly. i recommend ordering ahead on their app to avoid a long wait

Little bit of seating inside and a cozy atmosphere makes for good studying, working, or just conversing. Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba - boba was fresh and very flavorful! Chew was alright as the pearls were more of a medium size, which I typically don't prefer, but they were well marinated. Tea was pretty faint, at 25% sugar I couldn't quite get any jasmine taste. Wouldn't get this drink again, but maybe on the boba, and would likely try a specialty drink.

    Cute place to grab a bubble tea or snack; the location is particularly convenient as it's right…read moreacross the street from the T and I like ducking in here after a yoga class at the Corepower nearby. They have a good selection of bubble tea, matcha, and coffee, as well as some pastries and desserts. I ordered the lychee jasmine fruit tea and it was staggeringly sweet. For a lot of bubble tea places, you can customize the sugar level to 0-100% and I would've preferred having a choice here. I didn't see an iPad ordering option. As it was, my drink was also 80% ice for almost $6 - definitely not a treat I can get all the time. Quite a bit of seating inside. We came on a slow Sunday afternoon and the place was a ghost town with our pick of the tables. Only one girl working and making all the drinks; she wasn't super friendly, oh well.

I loved it so much and it's very unique. There is no person taking orders. You just order it on the kiosk. Our order came out relatively quickly. I feel like this boba shop aims to a more luxe clientele then, say, Kung fu tea or heytea. There is no seating really and barely any counter. You can't really come here to study or whatever. I would also say it's a bit overpriced compared to the size of the drink, but it is fairly worth it for the panna cotta drinks as they are more unique. I would come back for a treat!
