Meet Fresh is now open in Jersey City
Popular Taiwanese dessert chain Meet Fresh has opened in Jersey City, bringing taro balls, bubble tea, shaved ice, and egg waffles to 525 Washington Boulevard. The new dessert shop, located within a shopping mall in the 37-floor Newport Tower development, is now open from 12 to 8 p.m. daily.
The Hudson County store officially opened its doors on June 19, according to Hoboken Girl, and customers have been lining up for the international chain’s Taiwanese desserts. Started by siblings in Taichung in 2007, Meet Fresh now has more than 100 locations in Taiwan, plus roughly 25 locations in the United States. The company opened its first tristate area location in the East Village in 2018, and followed up with outposts in the Festival Plaza strip mall in Edison, New Jersey and Sunset Park, Brooklyn in 2019 and 2020, respectively. A location in Flushing, at 133-36 37th Avenue, is listed as “coming soon” on the company’s website.
