Over-the-top desserts are impossible to ignore—snap photos of the strawberry tart and soufflé tower before digging in

As strawberry season arrives, many shops are offering strawberry-themed desserts. This Meat Up dessert shop in Ximending frequently debuts stylish, exaggeratedly elaborate treats that not only attract hordes of local fans but have also made it a must-visit photo spot for international travelers. Both the sweets and drinks have won over many young women’s hearts and consistently trend on Instagram.

Following its previous line of exaggerated milkshakes, Meat Up has now introduced seasonal strawberry tarts and strawberry soufflés, loaded with plump strawberries and drizzled with white chocolate sauce and condensed milk—pure indulgence. The fluffy soufflé, topped with large strawberries and strawberry sauce, has also become a must-order.

Additionally, the shop’s most unique drink is its visually striking, ultra-dramatic strawberry milk cap—not only is the cup generously sized, but the rim is also coated with a salty whipped cream to balance the strawberry’s sweetness, enhancing both texture and flavor. Mixing the thick milk cap with the strawberry milkshake below creates yet another delightful taste.

Beyond the delicious desserts, the entire shop’s style is adorable. Pink-painted walls overflow with girlish charm, adorned with bundles of dried flowers and tiny lights. Mosaic blue tiles paired with a wooden counter create a hipster vibe, while hand-painted colorful artworks by the owner adorn both the wall near the entrance and the exterior left side of the shop.
