Meet Fresh
525 Washington Blvd, Jersey City, NJ
Crema's Take
“This Jersey City outpost specializes in creative dessert drinks and traditional Taiwanese treats like grass jelly soup and silky tofu pudding, with an inviting, well-decorated space that celebrates the brand's heritage. While the atmosphere and menu creativity shine—particularly their signature taro and colorful ball combinations—consistency seems to be an issue here, with some customers reporting skimpy portions and watered-down flavors compared to other locations. If you're seeking an aesthetically pleasing spot for adventurous sweet drinks and Asian desserts, it's worth a visit, just manage expectations around execution.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Pastries on the menu.

I don’t give 5 stars. We had the tofu pudding with grass jelly, mochi balls, lychee jelly, and boba. It is a large dessert so I shared this with my brother. Unlike a French Brûlée this has silky tofu, completely plant-based, and it’s not cloyingly sweet. Well worth a visit if…
This store in not inside Newport mall, you need to walk across to the 525 building’s 1st floor. The store is nice, well decorated with brief history of Meet Fresh and their most popular items. The counter is little messy filled with paper boxes. Their menu is solid, lots of…
We tried the Taro Ball Signature and were not impressed. I liked the taro paste in it, but the rest of the colorful balls all tasted the same and bland to me despite different colors, shapes, and sizes. Their bubble milk tea was good. I also found their menu unnecessarily…
