Lenti’s Review
Meet Fresh stretches the definition of a boba stop in the best way — it's a Taiwanese dessert house where the boba is one delicious citizen of a much bigger world. Order a grass jelly or taro soup loaded with hand-cut taro balls, Q-mochi and pearls and you've got a textural playground. The menu variety is unmatched in the radius, the room is cozy, and it's a perfect cold-weather destination. It's a 9-mile drive, but worth it when you want dessert and boba to be the same decision.
