instead of craving academic validation like every good asian kid, i like to vroom vroom to meetfresh to eat my troubles away. the hot grass jelly bowl is yum yum yummy yum!! gone with the failing grades, lack of internships, unsatisfactory marriage prospects, financial semi-dependence on slightly disappointed parents, and of course the grating otherness experienced as a born and bred american citizen. if you are not this type of asian kid the taro ball bowl and red bean bowl are good options! their shaved ice lowkey sucks unless you like that crunchy icy texture. egg waffles and drinks are mid. i would stick with hot stuff until you get a good feeling about what to order - not everything is supremely scrumptious. located near automall/pacific commons! 2 ordering kiosks only, busy in evenings. service is quick and efficient read more

Peach guava tea was extremely bitter, even at regular sugar/ice levels, and the egg waffle very chewy, instead of having a crunchy exterior and soft interior. Staff were suer friendly and helpful, space was very clean, and there were plenty of affordable deals. read more

Came here quite a few times. Most recently on a hot Sunday afternoon, this Meet Fresh was PACKED. We got super lucky with grabbing a table in the back. It was super crowded here. It's great to see a Meet Fresh here in East Bay, so that I don't have to go to the Peninsula and South Bay for my Taiwanese shaved ice fix. Yeah, Meet Fresh is a Taiwanese chain that is considered trash in Taiwan (like how we talk s*** about McDonald's in the US, but overseas everyone loves them)...but beggars can't be choosers overseas! read more

We were in the mood for a nice cold treat and being that I had never been to Meet Fresh, decided on taking a drive out to Pacific Commons. Ordering was easy at a walk up kiosk, and there was plenty of seating. Our order came out quickly, and I was shocked by how big the size large is (all servings are medium or large). The large can easily be split into 3-4 servings. The shaved ice was smooth and creamy, and the toppings were super fresh! It hit the spot. There's a handwashing station and water station that come in handy when you're cleaning up and need to hydrate afterwards. I heard this place can get filled up pretty quickly in the evenings, but we came by around 2pm on a Thursday afternoon and had a very pleasant experience with no wait time or fighting for a table. We'll be back! read more

Lots of seating, lots of parking, big tables, tasty snacks and drinks but slow service. If you have lots of time to kill then this is the place for you. Mango shaved ice $16: 5/5 this is humongous! A huge tower is shaved ice topped with ice cream and fresh mango. Good to share with multiple people. Make your own bowl $8: daughter picked mochi, passion fruit ice cream and other stuff. She enjoyed it. Passion fruit green tea +lychees jelly $6.50: 3.5/5 got it 25% sweet but was still on the sweet side. Fresh milk oolong tea hot $6: 4/5 this was better than the green tea. Nice and smooth. read more

Finally checked this location out again after a bad first experience. When you arrive, you order at the kiosk. Only one was available when I arrived on a Friday night so I'm glad it wasn't busy. Got my shaved ice for dine in. There was more ice than condensed milk so we asked for more and they kindly gave us a little more without the charge. Plenty of tables and decent space to dine in. read more

A must for the people who like their desserts "not too sweet." It is not my go-to for desserts, but it is refreshing and not overly sweet (I ten to prefer the sweeter desserts.) To order, we used the kiosk. It was in a different language which made it a little harder to understand. However, the visuals made the process easier. There are many seating options and I love the different shapes and options of seating areas. Great for a gathering or a quick dessert with friends. read more

Tapioca balls, red beans, mochi, and milk tea all packed up in convenient bowls big enough to split among two but certainly a treat one can finish on their own! Came in on a random weekend afternoon before the evening rush looking for a little pick me up and what a satisfying visit this was. Osthmanthus seems to be the seasonal flavor and their tofu pudding shaved ice was delicious! After parking in the spacious lot and entering the building, I headed to the self service kiosks as it seems they were short-staffed and weren't operating the typical registers. As mentioned before, having more defined pictures of each ingredient would have been nice on the electronic ordering system. I ended up having to flip my eyes between the posters and physical menus at the kiosk to decipher what my tastebuds were craving. I had a challenging time deciding what to get since their special combos and deals definitely looked enticing but I wasn't looking to feast during this visit. I ended up settling on getting the osthmanthus tofu pudding shaved ice bowl and took advantage of the egg waffle that came with an additional 3 dollars. As I waited for my order to be completed, I took a look inside the huge dining area that was nearly empty at this time except for an older couple also awaiting their order. It was pretty quiet but I was out of there shortly. The staff were quick and friendly. The mochi egg waffle was crispy yet chewy from the tapioca flour used to make it. The chocolate sauce found inside was scrumptious. The portion was decent and definitely shareable. The tofu pudding was premade but was refreshing. It was only slightly sweet and paired really well with the "soup" base. The other chewy bites were great complements as well but after halfway through, it does get a bit old. Highly recommend to share! Meet Fresh has an online app which can be used to place orders and also has a rewards system that allows you to earn and redeem points for discounts. On your birthday, they also gift you points equivalent of 3 dollars which gets you about half a drink, which to me isn't worth a trip specifically for the birthday freebie. It's still a nice gesture though so if you're a frequent visitor and a fan, be sure to sign up! Overall, Meet Fresh is a great place to satisfy your craving for classic Asian desserts like red bean soup, grass jelly, tofu pudding, almond/sesame soup. The prices are relatively high due to the portion size and variety of ingredients you'll be having in your dessert meal. With their deals and combos, bring a friend and you'll be dining with value! Come during non-peak times and you'll be able to order in peace and at least won't have to wait too long for your order. This place definitely makes its way in my rotation and if it's "fresh" to you, perhaps it'll be on yours too! read more

Hadn't had Meet Fresh in awhile. Two of us shared: large shaved ice mango/strawberry $16.25 boba $1 mini q $1.25 Free fruit sorbet scoop included. I had to ask staff in person to have the condensed milk on the side since the kiosk doesn't give you that option. Tasted ok. On the pricier end. Super busy for a Saturday evening. Seating inside and outside. Easy parking in the plaza. read more

in pac rim plaza - hard to find parking esp on weekends order on kiosk - pretty straightforward one thing I noticed about this meetfresh - the shaved ice is very pointy?? like other meetfreshes have them in a normal round hefty pile, but this one straight up is like a giant isosceles triangle overall was too much water/ice for two people :) read more

Cozy Taiwanese dessert shop with dim lighting and modern design inside. We got the Icy Grass Jelly Signature with Taro Balls. The Grass Jelly had a fragrant taste with a delicate texture. The handmade purple and orange Taro Balls were soft and chewy. The Melon Jelly looked interesting, so we added it on the side to try. It tastes like winter melon tea made into jelly form. Would get again. The bottom has shaved ice that you can adjust the amount of. It comes with two creamers to pour on top, giving the dessert soup a milky creamy consistency. Huge portion size. Overall refreshing and not too sweet. The Matcha Red Bean Egg Waffle was made fresh and hot. Crunchy exterior and fluffy interior. It had a nice earthy flavor from the matcha and was super loaded with red beans in every bite. We had fun tearing off the small waffle balls and popping them in our mouths. Side note - the to-go bag was great in maintaining the temperatures of our desserts. It is made of a reusable cloth-like material that makes it sturdy too. A nice, caring touch! Service is quick, we ordered online and everything was ready for pickup when we arrived. They also sell various teas, other desserts like tofu pudding, shaved ice, caramel pudding, mochi, cake, and seasonal items. I'm glad there are both cold and hot items available for any kind of weather. They have a large assortment of toppings that I want to try next time! read more

Saturday night and it's packed here. My first time and I'm underwhelmed by it. It's shaved ice with all the condiments but lawdddd it can expensive. One of our orders was almost $20 with red beans, condensed milk, boba and jelly. The waffle had some red beans and had a dip on the side was $10. I guess this is the going prices around here. Not our idea to come as our friends wanted to meet here this night. The filled with ppl. Overall it's ok. I didn't really see workers able to get away and clean tables when patrons leave. They serve other items like warm desserts and drinks and to me, all were ok. read more

Came here with my sister and ordered the osmanthus shaved ice, osmanthus jelly tea, and herbal tea. The shaved ice was super sweet and the ice pieces were big and just overall not good. The osmanthus jelly tea wasn't good just bitter water. My sister takes a sip of the herbal tea and there's a whole piece of plastic in it. She could've swallowed it but luckily she didn't. We just felt disappointed and disgusted at this point so we just tossed everything. Wasted money, time, and calories :( read more

Got the build your own bowl. Icy grass jelly + rice balls + crystal mochi. I personally belive that there should be more crystal mochi when added on. For $1.25 we were only given 1 mochi. I've ordered this topping at other locations and usually receive 3. I totally understand it costing a little more than their other toppings, but to have just 1 is too little. Also, the red beans in the mochi is a bit on the sweet/strong side. The flavor is totally fine on its own, but clashes with the lighter grass jelly flavor. Otherwise, Grass jelly and ice had solid "grassy" flavor and it was an overall refreshing dessert to end the day. Service was really fast and staff was kind. Interior is spacious and great for groups. read more

Really cute place for dessert, drinks and vibes! Their selections for everything is enormous and overwhelming! We also got the egg puffs a that was okay, nothing too special. I'm sure other things on the menu are delicious but they looked extremely sweet. So if you're watching your sugar then I suggest a different place! But this is a really chill place to do homework, work on your laptop, or even chat with your friends! read more

Meet Fresh - Fresh Milk Herbal Tea - Desserts Near Me - Fremont, California

This Meet Fresh location is in the Pacific Commons Shopping Center. Parking may be hit or miss, as this is a pretty busy plaza, especially on weeknights and weekends, but there is usually more parking further away. All self-service, ordering is through one of the kiosks, then you wait for them to call out and place your order on the counter - they are not that consistent calling out your order, so you may have to ask several times. Service is not the greatest - employees are not that helpful here, they usually just stay behind the counter to fulfill the orders, but not available to answer questions, even when you are waving them down, it may take a lot of effort to finally get someone to stop to help you. Even when the shop was basically empty (2 people ahead of us (same group)) on a weekday, it took my friend and me 30 - 40 minutes to just get a couple of desserts and drinks. When we came back on a weekend, it was busier and took us over an hour for just 2 desserts, and they stopped calling out orders, so everyone was just confused and going back and forth to see if their orders were done. Our order was sitting behind the counter with a bunch of orders that were done for who knows how long and our order was wrong, but we just took the L. We just took our order and left because of how busy it was and not worth the hassle to try to get it fixed, which was a bummer, as they were obviously short staffed for a busy weekend. I usually do not like their drinks here, but decided to give it another try - I tried their Fresh Milk Jasmine Green Tea and Jasmine Green Tea. Both drinks were super bitter even with regular sweetness, and was eh. My usual go to I would get here is their Icy Grass Jelly Signature without the grass jelly shaved ice, so just the grass jelly and taro balls with a creamer on the side. I do wish they give an extra creamer because it only comes with 1 tiny creamer and it is such a small creamer for a bowl that size. read more

Delicious! Went here yesterday with my brother and son where we ordered two medium shave ices and a boba tea. The ices were super delicious! Lots of goodies such as custard, boba, mochi, fruit and goodness in the bowl with shaved ice. We loved them! The service was fast and the seats are very comfortable! Please see the pictures and we apologize for eating before realizing to take the pictures. They really are delicious and we will be back soon! read more

Unfortunately my party and I had a pretty terrible experience with this location. We ordered a shaved iced item but unfortunately they didn't have any which was fine and understandable. As we requested a refund the worker said that another customer had the same order AND order number who also requested a refund (and received it) which meant we weren't able to get one which honestly doesn't make sense. We asked for a cash refund but apparently they don't take cash even though I saw their cash register with cash inside it. We were given the option to just get other menu items, we weren't interested in anything else so we are deciding to just dispute the payment with the bank. The workers were also saying management weren't responding via phone to them which screams like a big issue. We most likely won't be returning to this location. read more

Drinks used to be good here but now they put so little toppings. Also, the service is HORRIBLE. I'm not sure if it's new management but the service has deteriorated noticeably. I would avoid this place as much as I can unless I'm desperate. My last visit, I had such a bad experience with the older lady who seemed yo be the manager. She was rude and totally unprofessional. Not coming back again read more

I prefer the one in Cupertino. The Fremont location is quite busy and does have delicious desserts, but the wait time to get your order can be long as they have so many customers.

Never a disappointment when getting the Mochi Shaved Ice but the granules of ice took me a while to get used to because of the size. The ice cream is very velvety soft & creamy. They add shredded coconut flakes, grass jelly, mochi logs, taro balls & mochi filled w.black sesame & almond mochi, every item gives you such variety you can never grow tired of this. A very satisfying dessert. I also added a winter melon boba drink & if was fragrant, I got regular sweetness which was just right. As far as the restroom, you get a code at the bottom of your receipt. I can't say it was very clean & out of the 2 stalls, 1 was out of commission. They also used very diluted soap, so don't know how clean my hands would be, but glad there is a restroom I could use. Other than this, I only wish there was a Meet Fresh closer to home. read more

Great selection and everything I have ordered has been satisfying but not quite as good as I had hoped, especially given the price. I recently tried the Creme Brulee Tofu Pudding, which was good, but I wish there was a hot option! Good ambiance and quick service but I wish it was consistently better food. read more

Interior is nice and spacious and has lots of seating. You can either order at a kiosk or with a cashier. We ordered a hot tofu pudding and a coco sago with an add on of tofu pudding. The hot tofu pudding was only lukewarm at best and the tofu was broken down into very tiny pieces. They forgot my tofu pudding add on for the coco sago so they gave us a small side of it in a condiment container. The tofu pudding add on was $1.25. To my disappointment, the tofu pudding was sour so I had to abandon my dessert to avoid the risk of a stomachache after. The coco sago itself was okay in terms of flavor but lacking in amount of sago. read more

Ordered a couple of cold desserts since my parents said their hot desserts are usually luke warm and unacceptable Ordering on the kiosk- some items did not have a description and you just have to look at the picture and kind of guess 1) icy grass jelly signature- good portion size, overall reliable 2) coco sago soup A- we though they gave us the wrong order because it looked so different from the picture. It was ok. The part of the experience that we did not like was the inefficiency of the order pick up. I put my number in at the kiosk (3:20pm) and they're supposed to text me when ready. We waited 20 min (3:40pm) and nothing. We saw people come in after us receive their order so we went to check. It had been ready but there was one guy calling numbers in a soft voice. We finished eating and went home. At 6:00pm i got a text saying my order was now ready. That is very not helpful. I do not think we will be coming back to this location. read more

Horrible experience at this Meet Fresh. I would avoid it at all costs if I were you. Our group of 6 came here at 12pm today (Monday). There were no other customers and no employees at the counter. We tried to order at the kiosk but both kiosks were not working. I went to the counter to ask for help and saw an older lady putting on make-up in the kitchen. I asked her to help with our orders and she acted so annoyed at us. She said "The kiosks are working! Show me how you ordered. You must've done something wrong." So we showed her, and when the order couldn't be processed, she said "Oh maybe it's broken. I have to call tech support." So we asked her to take our orders at the counter, and she asked "How many of you? All 6 of you? Oh then I can't. I'm the only one working today." At this point we were all tired of the whole back and forth so we left. That lady was rude and unprofessional and outright lying to our faces. I could see other employees in the kitchen so when she said she was the only person working, I knew she just didn't want to help us. I don't know if she was the owner or the manager, but if this is how you treat customers, this business is going to close down, sooner or later. read more

The entire store got kicked out at exactly 11 PM closing time. It felt really strange and I think the other customers collectively thought so too. Everyone there just stood up and looked at each other all puzzled. Usually stores would turn off the music or start cleaning up to signal that they've closed, but no... we got a full blown announcement that it was time to get out. Like cmon, there's better ways around this... I came in during the last hour for dessert after grabbing dinner from that same plaza. We probably finished half of the icy signature before it was time to go. Not only that, but the dessert itself was lukewarm and we waited 10 mins for our order to come out. read more

Meet Fresh can be hit or miss. The inside has a bit of a funny smell, but some of the desserts are worth trying.

Crowded on a Sunday night after 7pm. You order at the counter on a register and wait for your order to be ready (they'll text you). We ordered a medium Mangoberry milk shaved ice with 1/2 sugar. It was a good portion and you can probably share with 3 people. Two people is doable if you are really hungry and have a sweet tooth. The strawberries and mangos did seem canned and were quite sweet, along with the fruit drizzle. The ice itself was pretty crunchy and eventually melted - it could have been softer. The smaller mochis on the side were not bad - standard. read more

Came here to try their tofu puddings with taro/rice balls. I typically love sweet tofu pudding but the ones here are very mediocre and lacking in sweetness. It could possibly be my fault for ordering 50% sugar but what I got tasted more like 25% sweetness. The taro and rice balls had a nice chewy texture similar to mochi, which I liked. As for the Matcha egg waffle, I loved the texture! Crispy on the outside, fluffy, soft, and chewy on the inside. However, it tasted like a plain egg waffle so the matcha aspect was very lacking. We ordered on their kiosks which were pretty laggy. Our orders came out separately, so while they did call our number for one order, they left the other order out without calling us. The utensils were dirty, and it took a while for me to get a worker's attention to get a new set (they weren't busy). The inside is very spacious and well-lit; looks like a great spot to hangout with friends. read more

So sad that bubble egg waffle is not the same anymore. We used to come here every week after dim sum. Their recipe definitely has changed. The new recipe was so soggy, cakey and starchy. It is not crispy at all and lacking chocolate flavor. I shared my opinion with the manager lady and she said it had always been like this. Well, as a regular customer, I know it is not like this... The staff chimed in and said she would cook the next order longer... but it turned out the same. Won't be back for bubble egg waffles again. read more
