    Green Tea with Boba and Fluffy
    Vivian

    Boba runs are supposed to be simple. Walk in, order something sweet, and walk out happy. Meet Fresh usually fits that vibe with its Taiwanese desserts and milk teas which is why I decided to stop by. This place is great for studying. There's a wide range of table seating and WIFI is also provided. Though I came just for a quick visit to grab a boba drink to go. Here's what I noticed. This place is super inconsistent. There's a weird old milk smell that lingers around the shop sometimes and several menu items are often unavailable or marked off the menu with tape. It gives the place a trashy essence even though the shop tries to promote a clean modern aesthetic. Some of the booth seating leather or material is ripped from wear and tear which also makes the place look a little under maintained. There are two kiosks that you can order from which helps the employees out and gives customers the ability to see menu pictures and customize their drinks however they would like. I ordered the green tea with boba and fluffy which is their soft top foam. I have been to Meet Fresh before and have previously seen that they have a fluffy green tea option but didn't find it on the kiosk today which was weird since all the ingredients are available. Again inconsistent. I got my drink with half sugar. My sister got a green milk tea and mentioned that there was no option for no sugar which was strange since most boba shops allow that customization. There's almost no interaction with the staff as they send you an "order ready" text to your phone number you provide at the kiosk and then leave the drink there for you to grab at the counter. Most times there is an employee there to verify which drink is yours especially when it's busy but not today. My drink came out super sweet almost like 100 percent sweet. I even overheard one of the other guests mention that their dessert tasted like eating straight up sugar. Most Asian desserts usually lean on the less sweet side so I'm not sure what's going on but I definitely have had better experiences here last year. On the bright side the boba itself was nicely cooked and chewy. The pearls had a good texture. l also really liked the fluffy topping because it adds a creamy foam layer that brings extra richness to the drink and balances the tea pretty well.

    Shaved ice
    Mirei K.

    This shaved ice tower was so huge! But I really enjoyed eating it. Took a long time preparing it, definitely waited over 10 minutes but worth the wait! The tables weren't very clean which is why I docked the 1 star but I really enjoyed this dessert.

    My hubby lives coming here and I like to tag along just to use the restroom before heading home. My hubby's favorites are the taro scoop, egg pudding, taro balls and the grass jelly with ice cream... SERVICE: B+ Mostly self service at the kiosk AMBIANCE: 7/10 There's always a weird almost like spoiled milk or flour every time I walk in. Sometimes the tables are not clean. The dryer inside the restroom doesn't work. At least they have a restroom for customers so amen to that... I got the HERBAL TEA 9/10 and actually really enjoyed it with some ice... KEEP ROCKN MEET FRESH!!!!!

    Meet Fresh is one of my go-to spots when I'm craving dessert. Everything we had was so good--fresh, perfectly sweet, and really satisfying.It's also a great place to just hang out with friends. The space is nice and comfortable, perfect for catching up and staying a while.Service was good too--friendly and efficient, which always makes the experience better. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to whenever I want a solid dessert fix!

    Mango green tea with lychee

    Meet fresh is a delightful dessert restaurant. I love the simplicity of the ingredients and the subtle sweetness. As recommended by the kind hostess, Elena, we ordered the pudding &Q mochi milk shaved ice. The dessert was an enormous mountain of caramel flavored ice, almond pudding, mochi jelly, vanilla ice cream, condensed milk and coconut flakes. We shared it among four people and still were not able to finish it. Customer service was fast, friendly, and efficient. There was plenty of seating inside for families and friends to enjoy. The restaurant is located in one of Mira Mesa's busiest shopping centers, so parking can be a bit of a challenge on the weekends, but its worth it!

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature
    Melissa F.

    I purchased the Icy Grass Jelly Signature and found a foreign object in the taro balls while eating. To my surprise, the object turned out to be a piece of glass. I went back to the store and asked to speak to the manager about the incident. Unfortunately, the manager was not there, and the staff seemed uncooperative. When I showed them the piece of glass, they questioned my claim and stated that they do not use glass in their products.

    Q Mochi &  Caramel Pudding Combo
    Justin C.

    Came here with some friends craving a sweet treat after getting hot pot in the same plaza. They have two self-serve kiosks for ordering but the UI is challenging to navigate so the line moved very slowly despite only two groups in front of us. I ordered a winter melon tea with lemon. My friends ordered a pudding and mochi shaved ice. My winter melon tea was ok but the shaved ice was a disaster. The ice was chunky and nearly impossible to eat. We asked if the ice machine was broken but the workers assured us the machine was working fine. This was unfortunately not acceptable for shaved ice. The ice cream and pudding toppings were thankfully pretty good.

    Purple Rice Soup (A/B/C)

    Typical Meet Fresh. I always use the screen to order so experience was consistent. These places are always filled with aloof college-age-kid staff and this location was no different. Orders came out quick and accurate. Everything tasted well made. Textures were all there. Flavors were right. Very typical Meet Fresh. Got the purple rice B with sesame balls and that sucker was packed. So A+ for portion. Store was clean and organized. No empty trays or bowls laying around. Good spot. I'd come again.

    I actually liked the quality of this location more than the one I went to in norcal. The ice just felt less stale. We got the shaved ice to share and really enjoyed the almond jelly and mochi toppings. The inside is pretty clean and has a sink station to help wash sticky hands, especially our young ones. It was also nice that it wasn't freezing inside

    Q Mochi Shaved Ice
    Maria H.

    Fun dessert shop in Mira Mesa. Parking is a pain, this strip mall is always busy due to the In-N-Out, Daiso, and HMart market. Very cute decor inside. The service is ok, you don't really interact with any of the employees until they call your number, since you order through the self-serve tablet. We ordered the Q Mochi shaved ice. The dessert is huge, easily sharable for 3-4 people. It has lots of mochi, melon jelly, potaro balls, ice cream, coconut flakes, condensed milk, and some caramel sauce. It was so refreshing and delicious, the mochi was soft and chewy, and melon jelly was yummy. We'll be back to try other desserts.

    Menu. Seen 7/2025. Seasonal items not available though.
    Ryan S.

    Their mangoberry milk shave ice is delicious. Came by here today, but they didn't have it (off the menu currently). Got the signature glass jelly instead, with sesame balls. This is yummy. Tried to order on small kiosk, but it didn't work (it doubles as an employee tablet and was dirty). So the employee was nice to take our order. Plenty of table inside. Place is pretty clean. There is a hand wash station. Take your tray and trash to the back when you are done. Went to 86 degrees down the street after to get a mango strawberry smoothie :)

    I am not a big fan of bing su or mochi type desserts but this was pretty decent. 4 stars bc the person at the register helped me out. I just wanted a caramel pudding without boba, so instead of making me pay full price for pudding without boba, she added it on to an existing dessert and just added extra pudding for 1.25$ is didn't have to pay 10$! That was really helpful amd awesome of her. There are plenty of tables to sit at and bring your laptop to chill. Its a relaxed setting. The dessert itself can be overwhelming if there are too much sugary stuff. The ice cream part of my dessert was really good and the grass jelly on my other dessert was pretty good. Overall, the desserts are really delicious and the medium is really large! 3 people can share!

    Black Sugar Milk Tea
    Apple C.

    Meet Fresh has the best boba in ALL OF SAN DIEGO. It is warm, squishy and you get a sip of boba til the very end of your milk tea!!!! The parking kinda suck around 3pm on a Saturday but the drink makes it so worth it. They sell other stuff but I am obsessed with their boba. They have kiosk available and you get your drink pretty fast. There's plenty of seats available and the best part, it is next to IN N OUT, DAISO and HMART.

    It should be still there. You don’t see it? Please let me know.

    Are there non-dairy milk substitute options for the drinks?

    Sorry we do not currently offer non dairy milk substitute at the moment.

    Does the icy grass jelly have substantial amount of shaved ice or not really? Looking at the pictures I don't see much ice

    Do you need to wait in the regular line for picking up app orders or is there a separate pick-up location?

    For meet fresh app orders (pick-up), you can go straight to store front area and provide your order number and then pick up. Thanks.

    How do I use the available rewards in the app? There isn't a "use available rewards" when checking out online.

    Thanks for your question. Currently, we do not support using rewards for online orders. Our IT department is currently working on that and will release in the near future. I will update when it is ready. Thanks!

    Yes they do have non dairy options.

    Does anyone know if they make the Mochi on site? It's THE SOFEST mochi I've ever had!! Love it!

It really feels like going to a shave ice place in Japan. There are maybe about 8 tables inside that can fit between 2-4 people. There are also a couple of seats by the register. Each table has a unique decoration. Service: There's both a digital and paper menu and then you order up front. Both times, I have waited about 20-30 minutes. It's quite a long wait for 1 shave ice but when you get your order, you can see why it takes that long since they put some detail in it. Food: I believe they change their menu, not sure how often. Both times I ordered from their specials menu and they were so delicious, the ice was soft, and their toppings complemented each other well. One shave ice is enough for 2 people, especially after dinner. Highly recommend Ko-Li for a different kind of sweet treat!

I ended up peeling the hard parts off to taste it but I threw most of it away.

Each pot is a decent amount of food per person, but I don't think enough for 2 people unless you do some add ons. The individual pots come out ready to eat in this cool stand to keep the food hot.

I usually get rice since sometimes there is already some vermicelli in the pot. They also have skewers and boba drinks.
