When I come to meet fresh...to get refreshed (haha I'm so funny) I always go for the Icy Grass Jelly Signature - it's just got all the things I like and is quite refreshing with the ice and massive amounts of herbal jelly. Portion size is good, I'm always way too full afterwards (usually have dinner before this)
We used to came here once a week when Auckland didn't have so many dessert shop. Taiwanese taro ball was chewy and i always buy two concentrated milk ball put in one bowl which make flavour more delicious. Also recommend mini taro ball in ice jasmine green tea.
We came here for dessert after eating dinner at Eden Noodle. We ordered 2 Purple Party (limited edition of herbal jelly with purple yam) and it was surprisingly good with condensed milk.
My friends and I got coconut sago with mango, grass jelly with taro balls and taro ball #3 for dessert the other night. All were huge serving. The taro ball #3 was hot sweet soup with peanuts, taro balls and pearls. To be honest, in the menu they just wrote #1-5 instead of what the toppings were. So sometimes you just need to guess what those were in the pictures and picked a random one. Nevertheless, the sweet bean soup was not too sweet and really tasted like what I had in my childhood. The taro balls and pearls was cooked properly and chewy.
Somehow I always found what my friends ordered tasted better than mine😅 coconut sago with mango was my favourite. The black colour of the grass jelly actually comes from herbs (Grass jelly is sometimes called herbal jelly) with the shaved ice beneath the jelly, it was definitely a nice dessert to share with friends (or you can finish it on your own😉)

No matter how cold it is in Auckland, I'll always be in the mood for snowflake ice 🍧 I'm one of those people that complain about how cold it is one minute and then a minute later you'll see me eating ice cream 😅 Tried the Q Mochi Snowflake ice ($13.8) at Meet Fresh for the first time! YOOO I've been sleeping on this flavour 😴 The mochi is soft and chewy despite how cold the shaved ice is! 🍡 It also comes with a jelly that adds an extra element of texture so you get the snowflake ice melting, chewiness of the mochi and the bounciness of the jelly all in one bite. The pudding has amazing texture and isn't overwhelmingly sweet either. The shaved ice definitely has a condensed milk and light palm sugar flavoured syrup which compliments the dish well 👌🏼 I vibe so hard with this dessert 🔥 Honestly my new favourite dessert!
Q Mochi Shaved ice rating: 12/10 we ordered another bowl after demolishing this one 😏
Ambience: 7/10 ✨
Customer service: N/A my sister ordered both times 😂

Desserts after dinner - brown sugar pearl milk tea is the best and their pearl is really nice. I love it and getting addicted to it. Denny Setiawan should go here more often
Came here after a heavy lunch with the girls and let me tell you I slipped into a food coma after having a few spoons of the huge bowl of mango shaved ice 😱
Also ordered mango slushie to go and it was good.
I would have given a 5 but service was rude even though we were the only customers!! Besides her attitude, I would recommend you try this little place out its delish 👌
Me and my family are the fans of this dessert. we didn't expect it will be exist in NZ, and we found this gem in balmoral. Reminds us to home. Thanks
this is one of my favourite Taiwanese style desserts. Kumara and taro pearls are sweet and chewy, together with the purple rice in coconut milk. Yummm😋 it will be better if they use seasonal fresh fruits, the mango is the frozen type, so not so sweet and tasty.
The place is cute and the desserts is really nice. The pricing is suitable for what you're getting.
The customer service isn't the best but i guess you wouldn't be as hype when you're working 8hr shifts with only one other person and customers coming in at certain time all in a rush.
Would go there once a week or 2 times a month at most
Pretty cool desserts! Quite refreshing if you're looking for something out of the norm. We had really good service and we've been there a number of times as well.
Read the reviews and seems like different staff members have different manners. Some employees hate Chinese and some don’t. When we got in they were all ok. Staff members very polite. I really don’t know how much you would hate Chinese while working at a Chinese bubble tea shop? I think the food is awesome
Ordered the Q Mochi Snowflake! All the toppings were great esp the taro balls. Good amount of dessert, I shared this between my wife and I but could have easily fed 3-4 ppl. Def recommend
Stopped by after dinner since we were just down the road. They have a few options of dessert types as well as toppings and drinks. Decided to go with the signature coconut sago and I wasn't disappointed. The sago was made well and had a nice flavour. The taro balls gave it nice chewiness and the mango gave another layer of flavour, although they were a bit hard for my liking. Nice stop for good Taiwanese desserts.
This is one of my family favorite sweet treats. We visited both Balmoral and CBD branches. Some of the staff at Balmoral branch are rude and ignorant. Somehow, during the last visit, we were really happy with the new staff's service. The dessert were great as always. Love the taro and mix nuts.
The atmosphere was quiet when we visited, but we could eat something very big and delicious
The best Meet Fresh so far. It's so delicious. If you havnt tried, try it. You will love it. I love the Mango Coconut Sago dessert.

Dessert from Taiwan, it’s very popular in Asian societies but the price is not cheap. It worth to try it. There are many different options regarding to the flavors, a lot them most KIWI never try them before. You can take this visit as an advantage trip. VH
I've come here many times and trust me on this, it is always too crowded and always too loud. It's very hard to find a seating, however the food is very nice. I love the food and can never stop having enough of it. The place is too small too and the bowls looks old.
Second time coming to Meet Fresh on Dominion Rd. Always seems to be busy (especially during the night) so service can be a bit slow while making all the dishes. But you definitely get a good dessert for the price; not too sweet but enough to satisfy a sweet tooth craving. Yes the bowls may be faded and old looking, but doesn't diminish the quality of the dessert that you receive. You know a place has good food when it always has lots of people and their bowls and cutlery are worn down!
