Taiwanese Dessert Chain Meet Fresh Opens in Jersey City Amid Larger NYC Expansion | Eater NY

"I noticed the popular Taiwanese dessert chain Meet Fresh has opened in Jersey City, bringing taro balls, bubble tea, shaved ice, and egg waffles to a shop at 525 Washington Boulevard inside the shopping mall of the 37-floor Newport Tower development. The Hudson County location officially opened on June 19 and is now open daily from 12 to 8 p.m., with customers already lining up; the chain was started by siblings in Taichung in 2007 and now has more than 100 locations in Taiwan and roughly 25 in the United States, including earlier tri-state openings in the East Village (2018), Festival Plaza in Edison (2019), and Sunset Park, Brooklyn (2020), and a Flushing location at 133-36 37th Avenue listed as "coming soon." - Luke Fortney
