Meet Fresh is great for getting a late night dessert that isn't too heavy. The space has a number of tables and chairs, making it easy to dine in or wait for takeout. They have a few board games as well. Given the ample seating, it's also a good spot to do some work. I've come here multiple times and it always hits the spot.
Awww. Pretty disappointing compared to actual meet fresh locations around the world! I don't know what's happening with Ontario but I feel like everywhere is trying to cut corners and costs while charging the most! (why do you think I'm leaving onterrible????) For $33, this is what I got - insanity. The signature jelly dessert along with a less than mediocre brown sugar shaved ice? For $33? Nah.... No way. If you've only been to meet fresh in Ontario, hope you know that other locations are not like this and you are getting half of what you're supposed to for more $. The meet fresh signature jelly dessert only had a small handful of sweet potato mochis whereas most of the other locations have way more! Also what really threw me off was that instead of actual cream or condensed milk that they usually pour over or include on the side, there was a little container of coffee mate.....you know... the ones you get for free at roadside gas stations with a coffee or in a cheap motel? The brown sugar shaved ice didn't really have a whole lot going for it. Yes both items were good but only if you've never had a comparison (yes yes comparison is the thief of joy. And also your money haha) I love Taiwanese dessert so I was really hoping for the best but this just wasn't it and I didn't think it was worth it at all! The store itself was spacious and clean, and the staff were kind though. The desserts also came out super quickly!
FYI - this place is quite busy on a weekend night, even after 9 PM! It's situated somewhat in/above a quasi-parking lot, and I think it is somewhat confusing to get to. I've heard good things about their grass jelly so was debating if we get a grass jelly drink or something else. We ended up ordering their brown sugar shaved ice dessert. It had the grass jelly, some pudding, tapioca, sweet potato and taro rice balls, and ice cream on top. I loved the taro rice balls - they were insanely good. Overall the dish was ok - the brown sugar syrup wasn't evenly dispersed throughout the dessert and while there were aspects I loved (like the taro rice balls), the rest was ok.
They have charging stations on the side wall!!! So thoughtful! The looks of the shaved ice was great but the amount of sugar/ syrup they put for the shaved ice is wayy too much. I think the ice cream at the top is tofu something... If you're expecting vanilla it's not. I like how the grass jelly desert they give you a coffee creamer as the milk to go on top, very hygienic. I was looking around and the old lady beside me just had a side of red bean I was so attempted to ask her did she just get the additional topping as a dish... Mystery of how ppl order???...
Came on a weekend night, and a few other people were also ordering this for dessert. I got the Signature Icy Grass Jelly and Icy Taro Ball #2 for my cousin. I would say the signature icy grass jelly was quite refreshing. I liked the herbal ice flavour. The taro balls had good chewy texture but were on the bland side... My cousin said his icy taro ball #2 was also bland in general. Cash was prompt and we also received our takeout order quickly. For $8, it doesn't seem worth it for some canned grass jelly and shaved ice. Glad I gave this a try and might be a good treat for hotter days.
came here for some late night desserts. Was my first time coming to this place but I enjoyed it! It's great that they're open pretty late and they have a pretty decent array of selections. I was able to try the signature icy grass jelly - grass jelly dish with herbal blended ice and taro balls ($10ish) and their winter melon tea with grass jelly ($6). was probably a bit too much grass jelly for one night but I enjoyed it! The icy grass jelly was easy to eat and the additional toppings were super chewy and tasty. The drink was good and had a very strong tea flavor if you're into that!
Not sure what has happened the past few years, but quality has gone down by quite a bit. I usually get the icy signature (with grass jelly, taro balls, ice and the little cream cup they provide). For some reason it was not that great :( The ice was chunky and stuck together, they charge $1 for the creamer (which is actually a coffee whitener). Also got the hot almond #1 dessert that came with taro balls, tapioca, mung beans and almonds. Looked nothing like the picture and the almond dessert tasted like they mixed powder almond with hot water. Super diluted! Maybe each location offers different quality desserts? I'm not sure. But this time was not great at all :(
In celebrating a friend's birthday, we ended up at Meet Fresh, a place I've never been to before. Her birthday, her choice. I was willing to try something new. There were so many choices, I had no idea what to order. We ended up with the Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice. What we got was a mountain of shaved ice, topped with various garnishes that I don't know the names of. It was definitely large and yummy looking! Being new to this, I tried every component of the dish and it was all delicious without being too sweet! There were different textures and flavours that all blended well together. Very nice but it was too much for us to finish it! I would come back to try more of their offerings as long as I have somebody to guide me on what to order.
Location/Service The place is within Langham Place plaza. Plenty of parking is available, including underground as well. Dessert place is on the second level, where ZenQ/ChameCha is. Pretty big inside with big and small tables. Modern furniture and lightning, ambience was pretty cool at night. Service was good, staff was able to make recommendations and they used a pager to buzz you to pick up the dessert once it's ready, rather than mindless waiting around and becoming messy. Dessert Ordered a tofu pudding with tong yuen. The tofu was smooth and soft. The tong yuen were smaller than I expected, but it had more quantity than I thought. The dessert also came with a few extra ingredients like red beans and tapioca-ish kind of things. Overall it was nice to taste, but not extremely outstanding. This place was pretty popular from Taiwan, would be interested to try other menu items to seek a favourite.
I really want to love this location since it is close to my neighborhood but I can't. I had 3 visits and this will be my last visit for sure. I came on a weekday, around 9 pm and there were 2 customers but 4 staff in the kitchen. Perhaps it was because of the virus and people afraid to eat out. I was looking for the menu in hard copy because the mochi dish was not on the electronic version on the screen. The cashier pointed toward the right side of the counter, there were a stack of the menu by the wall (um...why can't you tell me instead of pointing finger?). My order was pretty quick because there were 4 people working in the kitchen LOL. I used to order grass jelly without ice and it came with a cream but it was missing this time. I went to the counter right after I got my order and asked for cream and one of the staff said: "We have to charge 75 cents". I was shocked and explained ："the menu stated grass jelly with come with a cream and you didn't give it to me at first." Then he gave it to me without an apology. Why should I pay for your mistake? I also ordered a Jasmine Green Tea because I am thirsty. The tea was definitely overpriced at $5 without toppings. The tea was really bitter and tasted like the tea was made in the morning and it has been sitting there for a long period of time. I think there is sugar inside the tea but still really bitter.
Been ordering meet fresh so many times but this is gonna be my last time !!!!!!! Ordered 3 hot grass jelly and srsly it's just water has no taste in it ... it taste like water but black Usually go to the north York location , and their hot grass jelly wasn't like this ! It was half solid and half liquidity. Horrible ! DONT GO TO MARKHAM LOCATION
Worst service! I knew they are pretty new in the location, but I dont think they are ready to open for public yet. Cafe is not too busy on Saturday night, but it took 25 mins to make 2 desserts. We ordered meet fresh signature and waffle no.3 which come with black sesame mochi and oreos. After waited for so long, they gave us wrong order! They gave us waffle no.1 with fruits. Came back to the cashier and even shows my receipt that we ordered waffle no 3. No apologies. She just said leave the wrong order there and wait for the new one, they will make it. Took another 15 mins to make waffle and put some oreos and cut bananas. In the mean time, im trying to enjoy the meet fresh signature as this is my first time trying it. To me it's quite bland. When i got home and told my sister who tried it before, she said the meet fresh signature supposed to come with milk/cream on the side, which i never get it. No wonder it just taste a bland grass jelly. Very disappointing. I was actually looking forward for these dessert, but very disappointed with what i get. To me, the people in the kitchen are so not ready to serve the customers. They clearly messed up badly my 2 orders. It doesnt worth your $30 for these kind of service. Definitely not recommended.
I'm really excited that this place has opened in Markham. I came here two weeks ago on a Saturday at 6. I had a hot herbal jelly #1 with mung bean, barley, boba, and added $1.50 for taro. The beeper beeped right at the moment I was about to sit down. The first disappointment was, they ran out of boba, which was my fave. I replaced it with red bean. Then came the second disappointment, they didn't make my order right,red bean and taro were missing . I gave it back to them and they made me a new one. I got the herbal jelly pretty fast cause there weren't many customers. But here came the third disappointment, they forgot the red bean and barley this time. $11.55 for herbal jelly with mung bean and taro only. Excitement evaporated. read more

Now that the weather is hot enough to properly enjoy Bingsu I decided it was finally time to try out Meet Fresh. I came in around 2pm on a Saturday and it wasn't really that busy which I was surprised about considering ZenQ and Korean Concept were both closed I thought more people would come into here. We ordered the Mochi Bingsu which we told is big enough for two people. When we got it, I was impressed that it was actually as big as the waitress suggested...usually, they over exaggerate. The mochi was squishy and the sesame one was my favourite. It had a great sesame flavour to it. I did find it a bit on the sweeter side though mix of caramel and other sugar? There was a good balance of the amount of mochi to shaved ice. Not sure why all the low reviews I actually liked this place -shrug- Service was attentive and quick and the Bingsu was to my liking. Granted I've only tried the Bingsu and nothing else on their menu yet. read more

Solid 4 to 4.5 stars. I really liked this place even though service was a bit slow. I came here on a Sunday evening around 9ish and we ordered two things to share with three of us. There is a lot of variety and choices so unless you don't like this type of dessert, you are bound to find something you like. Unfortunately, I've only been here once so I can't recall exactly what our order is. I do know the shaved ice is the qq mochi one and this is huge ( a lot of ice but definitely needs to be shared). The grass jelly is really good and the qq balls are chewy and good size. I'm definitely going to come back again. read more

Tried their Yonge location while ago and finally decide to try this location. This is a self serve restaurant, you have to pick up and clean up the table. They had 3 workers side working and it still took them good 10 mins to finish our order. Ordered their meet fresh signature and if you signed up their membership, you can also get a free drink. The plate was good enough for 2 people to share and it was not overly too sweet. Also had their signature bubble tea, which I find it's too watery and doesn't have a strong tea flavor read more

Went back and actually ate there instead and it was much better! The portions are definitely bigger and it was delicious. You also pay before you order and you have to bring back your dishes when your done so you don't have to tip if you don't want to. The only thing I have to complain about is that one cream isn't enough for a big bowl of dessert but no big deal!! read more

Nice place to grab some Chinese desserts. The place is clean and spacious. Lots of stuff to try. I had their shaved ice a d it was pretty good. The portion of shaved ice was enough to feed all five of us. Its just massive. I still prefer the Korean style shaved ice more. read more

The Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice has a variety of ingredients including boba, pudding, taro ball, and cream. The portion is big enough for two people. Good price and value for money compare to other shaved ice places. The Grass Jelly is not so sweet as shaved ice. The portion is good for one person and perfect as a dessert. read more

I came here just an hour before closing and it was still pretty packed! Everyone's craving cold dessert in this heat. I got the iced signature grass jelly that has grass jelly, as you can tell from the name, herbal blended ice and taro balls. I gotta say nothing looked good to me but this was really good because I love grass jelly and I thought the taro balls would be bad but it was good! The herbal blended ice tasted so good with everything else. The reason I gave a 4-star is because it's still pretty pricey considering you're not getting a very big portion and the ingredients aren't that many. I'm definitely coming back because it's a hot summer and it's only getting hotter! read more

I'm a regular at the Scarborough and North York Meet Fresh locations, but decided to try out the Markham one since we were in the area. I absolutely love Meet Fresh desserts and they definitely do bring back memories of having them in Taiwan. I ordered the Q Mochi Milk Shaved Ice. It's my first time trying this shaved ice and honestly...it wasn't anything special. I was excited to have the mochi but it wasn't as "Q" as I expected. Rather, they actually tasted more like a starchy, dense piece of cake. The sesame mochi on top also had an odd texture and almost felt stale. I guess this was just one of those 'looked good in the picture' desserts. My friend got the taro waffle and said it was decent but wished that there was more taro filling. Like the other reviews mentioned, they had 3-4 workers behind the counter so the desserts came out pretty quick. Regardless, I probably won't go out of my way to come to this location. read more

The only thing that's good here is the icy grass jelly (their best seller), the rest is absolute garbage. Don't try to be adventurous like my group, you'll have instant regret. One of my friends wanted to order their waffle, they didn't have it. so we got 2 different hot tofu pudding, they were around 8 bucks each. The cashier told us it would take 5 minutes because they need time to heat it up. When we got the pudding, they were both at room temperature (not even lukewarm)?! The pudding was super rough too. I could go to the tofu place at Denison centre and have tofu pudding feast and I'll be very satisfied. Another one of my friend got a grass jelly herbal tea (I know, we order the strangest sh*t), it was 5 bucks and it was literally the water in the canned grass jelly you find at the supermarket. I didn't know we're suppose to drink that! How dare they sell that sh*t for 5 bucks ?!? Their utensils were also sticky. read more

I had the mango drink and I couldn't find anything special about it. Just a regular drink. What I found is that the place is clean and quiet; perhaps the time I went was late and it was a Monday. Hence, in my opinion, this would a good place to have a good chat with friends over the quality of the drinks. read more
