Meet Fresh is a fairly popular Taiwanese dessert store. Well over a decade ago, they had a shop at Sunnybank Plaza, they didn't last long and eventually closed. Meanwhile they had a number of successful stores across other states and even New Zealand. It was only at the end of 2025 that they finally re-opened a Brisbane store, this time across the road at Market Square. Since opening, I don't think that they have had a quiet day. I waited until mid January before going and even arriving at 9.30pm, queues were out the door.
Being situated at the corner store above Yuens, it was shockingly large. It took about 20 minutes for us to put in our order and it took another 20 minutes for us to get our food. Given the sheer number of tables, the turnover was high enough that everyone managed to get one after they queued to order.
We picked up our food from the counter and it was lucky we had a relatively larger group of four to share in our order. Portions were huge.
My companions had the taro and red bean fresh milk whilst I opted for the jasmine green tea. My tea was excellent. Fragrant and crisp with a lingering aftertaste that remained refreshing. It was definitely higher quality than the usual Brisbane standard.
Wanting to try something that is representative of their store, we had the icy grass jelly signature. It was a tad expensive at almost $15 for a serve but the portions were big and sufficient for at least two people to share. The grass jelly had a strong herbal taste, tempered by the added milk. Their signature taro balls were squishy as usual.
I was most keen on the mango berry shaved ice. This came out as tall as a mountain and given the price was almost $30, it also definitely requires a group effort to finish. The menu was unclear between the two ice options. It turns out that shaved ice was the chunkier, coarser ice whereas shaved ice was more delicate snowflake type. I was a little concerned with shaved ice as usually it runs out of flavour by the time you get to the end, but this was well infused with ample flavouring. The mango and strawberries were fresh and sweet. It was worth the price given the size and I would not recommend a group smaller than 4 people taking this on.
All in all, we had a good time at meet fresh. Prices were a bit steep but portions are big and the quality was quite impressive. I can't wait to come back and try out their waffles once its in stock.
