Fluffy Souffle Pancakes and Luxe Lemonades: My Experience at Meet Fresh

Have you ever tried souffle pancakes? They are the fluffiest things you will ever try! I received an exciting invitation from Meet Fresh to try their new souffle pancakes and a selection of their refreshing lemonades. Naturally, as someone who has been in love with souffle pancakes ever since my first bite in Japan, I couldn’t resist.

Souffle pancakes are extremely fluffy. They are crafted from egg whites whipped with sugar and then gently folded into a smooth batter, they offer a texture that’s light, airy, and super fun. The first time I tasted these in Japan, they left such a lasting impression that I’ve been on the lookout for them ever since moving back to Scotland eight years ago. Unfortunately, they are hard to find here, which is one of the reasons I was happy to discover Meet Fresh.

The interior is cozy with a few bar stools and a single table designed for two. Despite its size, the atmosphere was lively with a steady stream of people coming in for takeaway. It is located near The University of Edinburgh so I am sure a lot of students will love to grab a bite there.

Meet Fresh offers a variety of unique toppings for their pancakes. Although I personally would have preferred more traditional options like fresh berries, their innovative choices piqued my curiosity. I opted for the Coffee Tiramisu Souffle while my partner chose the Lemon Cheesecake Souffle. We ended up sharing, and personally, the Lemon Cheesecake Souffle was the best. It was refreshing and provided a perfect balance to the fluffy texture of the pancakes.

A surprising highlight of our visit was Meet Fresh's lemonade selection. Unlike many places that focus solely on bubble tea, Meet Fresh offers an array of lemonade options served in impressively large clear cups that have a luxurious feel. I decided to try the Yuzu Lemonade with coconut jelly. The flavors paired really well with the pancakes.

Although the cafe’s decor could use a bit of a refresh, the friendliness of the staff more than made up for it. They were extremely welcoming and attentive, adding a personal touch to the overall experience.
