Meet Fresh offers unique Taiwanese desserts and teas around the world, with over 100 locations in Taiwan alone! With New Yorkers’ growing obsession with Taiwanese bubble tea, we already know that this shop will be a huge hit. (Especially in the dessert-centric East Village area).

Anyone who’s had bubble tea is already a fan of taro balls (since that is what your “bubbles” are made of), but what about herb jelly? Bubble tea shops tend to offer that in addition to taro balls, but you’ll be seeing a lot more of both at this dessert shop. Bowls of taro balls, tofu pudding, and herb jellies come with a variety of toppings and some come served with condensed milk.
