As I'm writing this review I'm trying to think when I can go back! I loved the onigiri and milk tea I got. The staff was very friendly and helpful when I had questions. Very cute inside. Will be going back on my next trip to Winston.
If you love Boba and Bubble teas then this is the place for you! This is such a cute little drink shop with lots of options to choose from! I ordered the Mango Lemonade with Mango popping boba and it was delicious!
The menu offers a wide variety of milk teas, fruit teas, yogurt based, lemonades and slushes. They do a good job of meeting your sweetness level. In addition to drinks, there are sweet and savory bites like monigiri, toast "sandwiches" and mochi waffles. The earl grey mochi waffle is amazing! It has both crispy edges and a chewy soft center. I am always impressed with the taste of the bubble tea here. Decor is instagrammable and so cute. Definitely one of the best bubble tea places in Winston-Salem!
This is such a cute bubble tea shop! It gives you cozy homey feels as the artwork is hand-drawn and child-like while the food is quality food. They serve the food and drinks fast so it doesn't seem busy but if you note the traffic of the influx of people coming and going, its pretty steady. Recommend coming here if you want a quick bubble tea fix while also getting some tasty snacks to go with it.
This is my favorite boba shop in town! We visit often. The last few visits have been a mixture of dine in and take out. The shop is small but the space is used well. There is plenty of room to chill and enjoy your treats! The drinks have a wide variety of flavors, custom sugar levels, and toppings. They make the best Taro tea in town. My husband loves the peach tea! The tofu is good, and there is a wonderful variety of unique snacks and bites to try. I love the mo-nigiri! The lines moves fast even when they are busy, and the service is always spot on. They have never messed up an order for us. Even when getting take out, you can pick up right from the drive through window which is super convenient. Bright and colorful and fun- with some cute art on the back wall, and seasonal treats like spooky toast- this place has everything a great boba place should. I would love to see them add dumplings or shrimp, and some cute merch for purchase, but otherwise they have it all. See you again soon momo!
There are plenty of bubble tea shop now, some are real Taiwanese chain and some are local, but not many serve snacks/food. Tea is pretty good but i like that they serve fresh monigiri (Japanese rice ball) and waffle. If you are used to regular waffle then you might not like these little mochi waffle, because I am sure their batter is rice flour and tapioca flour. I love their freshly wrap monigiri, I usually get some to go as snack when I go hiking.
As #WomensHistoryMonth continues, I wanted to share another woman owned business that I absolutely love to stop at whenever I'm in the area, Momo Ashi! As far as I know, Momo was the first boba shop to make an appearance in Winston, and is still one of the best! Although I don't have as many occasions to stop in as I used to when I worked closer to the Robinhood road area, when I do get near it, you can bet I'm coming for a treat. In fact, this place was one of my first ever boba experiences and taught me a little bit of the ropes. Brown sugar everything is the name of the game here, whether you do that in drink form (half sweet for me), or do it on one of their delicious waffles or treats, you cannot go wrong with this flavor. It is FANTASTIC. Which is funny to me, because brown sugar would not be my go to in so many other things, but since having one on my first visit, I'm definitely a fan. They also feature a well lit and bright location, and even a drive up to go window to get your fix on the fly. Thank you Momo for spilling the tea into Winston-Salem!
Such a cute boba cafe! The service was pleasant and the drinks were yummy. We also got mochi waffles. They are not mochi, nor a regular Belgian waffle. They are a weirdly Frankenstein like blending that somehow works. The Earl Grey is ok, Red Bean is good, and the chocolate was exquisite-not too sweet but definitely flavored. The decor is fun and lighthearted. If you like these products and are nearby, it is worth the stop! Hint: stop waffling and try a mochi waffle. Second hint: the teas can get very sweet, so I prefer 30-50% sugar so they are closer to a sweet tea than a dessert.
The first time I came here I wasn't a huge fan, but after a friend of mines had them cater for her wedding - every visit after just seemed to taste a little bit better! They have a decent amount of indoor seating with a couple little nooks that make for good photo back drops. I wasn't a huge fan of how their rainbow jelly tasted. The fruit tea is ok. They have decent milk tea options, but not as much as I'd personally like. The kids like it there tho and I love their mochi waffles. They also have a cute wall of swag that can be purchased. Peep the sanitation score
The service at Momo Ashli was quick and convenient! The employees were super nice, and they helped me go through the menu and the different options for sweetness. I think I just didn't choose the best flavor for me. The strawberry was a bit too sweet. I found it overpowering. My husband got a Taro milk tea, and it was very yummy! I would recommend that one - it has a really nice nutty and vanilla flavor. I will definitely try again! I just think the fruit flavors aren't for me. read more
This is such an adorable boba spot that offers more than just boba! The wamochi treat is so unique and tasty. We tried the brown sugar boba wamochi and it had a crispy outer crust of a waffle and gooey inside like a mochi! We loved it. The brown sugar boba drink was delicious as well. The staff were very kind and helpful as well. read more

Came here for the first time after taking oral boards. It's cute, clean and full of yummy goodies. I live less than 10 minutes away but it still feels like a special treat every time I come. Haven't really gone wrong per se with ordering, just a matter of what I'm in the mood for... Favorites: Original milk tea with brown sugar boba, 50% or less ice Strawberry milk tea, no boba, 50% or less ice Brown sugar boba wamochi Earl grey wamochi read more

I have been here a few times, never disappointing. Drinks: I like places that serve drinks with 0 sugar, it usually tells me they brew their own tea. Food: I tried every snack and I like them all. Monigiri (onigiri) is something rare to find from a store here, it reminds me of convenient store culture in East Asia. As the name suggested, the toast is too thick for me, the flavor is good. I am most impressed by the wamochi, I like the sweetness from original mochi flavor, I like that I can taste earl grey. I am delighted to see Momo Ashi in the area, they bring in something different. read more
I went to Momo Ashi for a Yelp Elite event this winter when there was snow on the ground and it was so cold I just couldn't bring myself to order my favorite boba drink, a taro slush. But with the weather warming up (thinking spring thoughts!), an ice beverage beckons. Momo Ashi has a wonderfully easy online ordering experience, possibly the easiest food order I've ever placed for anywhere (I don't adjust the sugar levels, though, so I didn't look at how that would get entered). I hit the road and in 15min parked and my food was ready when I got to their door. I could have used the drive-thru lane to simplify things even further, but I wasn't sure they'd be ready... I should not have doubted them. So I got a taro slush with boba, and hubs got a mango slush with mango popping bubbles, and they have appropriately sized bags with plastic carry frames in the bottom to make serving super simple. We also got a brown sugar boba waffle each, which was recommended to me at the Elite event, and it was once again amazing. It has crisp, it has soft, it has chew, and even though hubs got his drink & waffle after a 20min drive, both were still in good shape, although I did take the waffle out of the drink bag to try to keep each temp at their levels. Yelp keeps showing me more convenient places to get bubble tea. This one having the waffles too and the convenience of the online order, it might be my current front runner. read more
Such a cute place! Love the inside and decor, perfect for an insta pic! The bubble tea options were pretty standard. I loved that they had mango star jellies, since it was something different! we also got their mini mochi waffles (not pictured) in original, chocolate, and brown sugar. They were okay, and not what I expected, but still delicious! 7/10 - a cute place, but nothing special. read more

Can I just say how HAPPY I am we finally get some real boba love in Winston? Like an actual Boba shop! THANK YOU! This place is so cute with the decor & the staff is very friendly. It seems a lot of them are still in training, but they're doing a great job. The boba is cooked perfectly! I've been about 3 times already and I had no issues with my boba. I've had boba waffle which was really good. Not too sweet but sweet enough & fresh with a lint crunch to it. I want to get all the flavors. I also had the pork nigiri, YUM! I'm going to just go down the menu & try everything since it's not a huge menu, but they definitely have something for everyone! One thing I wish they had were milk foam (cream brûlée) and egg pudding. But it's fine, I love this shop already. All my money will be spent here & I'm perfectly fine with that! read more
We were so excited to see this place open up really close to home. My husband stopped on the way home today and brought me home a coconut milk tea with mango star jellies. I really liked it a lot! There aren't too many places in Winston to get this kind of thing and they have a huge menu of options, I will definitely be trying more. They offer a lot of customizations with various add ins of different jellies and bobas, even red bean which my husband tried and liked. I preferred the mango jelly to the red bean. You can choose your sweetness level, I found the regular to be pretty good, I would maybe try 80% next time. It wasn't overly sweet the way they prepared it though, it was really pleasant. My husband also brought home an array of wamochi waffles which I tried a bite of each but mochi isn't my thing, I don't enjoy the texture. He was happy as a clam though and ate every bit of them! They were really cute though, I will give them that, also not overly sweet but they definitely have a chewy texture from the mochi in them. I want to try their savory items, they have takoyaki and monigiri! Finally, their branding is adorable and my husband and said the restaurant space was really inviting and cute. I'm excited to try more, I will no doubt be back before the end of the week for the monigiri, that's a hard to find item around here so I am pumped to try them. read more

Have been wanting to come here and finally stopped in to meet a friend and I realized I've missed out on so many opportunities!! I got the matcha latte with brown sugar tapioca pearls (my go-to) and it was really good! My friend and husband enjoyed their teas and we shared a paw-nini (chicken-kimchi 10/10, seriously), matcha French toast, and waffles. I'm looking forward to coming back soon! They were really friendly and offered a punch card since it was our first time there :) read more

I had the honor of getting to try this wonderful place. From being so beautifully decorated, the amazing and kind employees, to the treats! I wouldn't call myself an expert when it comes to milk teas and such, but we go way back lol. And Momo Ashi definitely deserves a place with the top notch places. The drinks were very tasty, but the lychee milk tea was the best! And the wamochi alone, was astronomical. 10/10 You have to try it! read more
quick and easy service, employees were nice and helpful. we are all satisfied with our drinks. we like the interior of the store it has a nice theme very well decorated and nice vibe. i really enjoyed my honey dew frappe because it's not overly sweet and it's refreshing and cold read more
I would move to Winston-Salem just to be closer to Momo Ashi! The staff members are super friendly and matched the charming atmosphere. At Momo Ashi, they sling all of your favorite boba drinks, and their food menu is incredible: dessert toast, onigiri, wamochi (waffle treats with mochi filling), and thick toast topped with marshmallows, strawberries, and other sweet flavors. They also have a drive-thru window for a quick pick-up! read more
Such a cute venue with many photo ops. My son and I came for a date and got two flavored teas with their jellies. His favorite is the star shaped mango jelly and will specifically ask for it. Also, their mochi waffles are the perfect amount of crispy and chewy! A great little treat, read more
Absolutely in love with this place! This was my first time trying a wamochi and I was extremely pleased. I opted for the wamochi minis and tried every flavor. My personal favorite were the earl grey and strawberry flavored wamochis. The strawberry matcha bread was also very delicious. It was fairly big and good for sharing. Although refreshing, the Strawberry Yakult drink was too sweet for me. Same for the Lychee milk tea. I would recommend opting for less sweetness. read more
Finally had a chance to drop in to say hi to my cousin, who was working here yesterday during Christmas. Glad I did! A fairly new place, I was pleased to walk into a spaciously pink indoor space with plenty of seating, cute decor, and even a space in front that called out for photo opps. The menu is also very easy to navigate, not so overwhelming where you get lost in so many choices, but organized in such a way that your eyes can easily navigate their signature items. Should you need help though, the staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and more than willing to make suggestions. For instance, as a preggo lady, I'd already had my daily fill of caffeine so I didn't know what kind of drink I could have that came without it. They helped me land on the strawberry yakult, a yogurt-based drink. I topped it with star jellies instead of boba. Super refreshing! I enjoyed it lots. My aunt ordered several other boba drinks for the fam and there were no qualms with flavor or quality. Everyone enjoyed their boba drinks and have become regulars. Additionally, I got to try a decent sampling of snacks on the menu as well, from mochi waffles they call "WaMochi" to Onigiris they like to call "Mo-Nigiri." The Pork Floss Mo-Nigiri was a generously-sized portion that came warm in an easy to pull-apart package. It was a nice filling snack that I'll more than likely order again. The WaMochi was also yummy with a mix of the same chewy texture I love from mochi mixed with waffle. It's not something I thought I'd like, but it was kind of addictive. My two-year-old also really enjoyed it which speaks volumes to me as a little human that can take several tries at eating something before taking to it. Most excited about coming back to try the other snacks on the menu! Especially the takoyaki which wasn't available when I was in. Supply chain issues hitting everyone this year! read more

Friendly service and comfy interior lead the way at this business. The food is super yummy as well! This will be more of a "treat" spot for me in the future. Note that during busy times you may have a little longer wait. It also appeared food delivery or pick up was hopping here the night I went! read more

I stopped by while on a road trip and was very excited for this place. The interior was absolutely adorable and the food options were unique. This shop is in a big plaza with a grocery store, so parking wasn't a problem and the cuteness on the outside stood out that it was easy to find. The milkteas had a floral taste to it, which I really don't preferred personally, but if you like floral taste, then their drinks would definitely be for you! I also got an Early Grey mochi waffle. The Early Grey taste was very strong, I did loved the texture though. It truly has a mochi texture on the inside and crispy/toasty on the outside. I would come back to try other food items, at least 1 from each categories. read more
My friends and I visited during their soft/grand opening in April 2021. They offered free wamochi for the first 100 visitors which was great. I had no issues with my order, but my friend did wait for while for his onigiri. Overall, the interior of the cafe is SO CUTE (pink/black theme with tons of cute cat characters) with a good amount of seating. It is also kept very well cleaned. Plenty of parking which is always a plus. The dessert, savory foods, and drink selection of the menu is also quite diverse from milk teas, fruity teas, slush, toast, wamochi, and more. Definitely a one-stop shop if you're craving a lot of Asian food/snacks! Overall, the quality of the tea is decent. Not as strong as I would like, but mild enough for all palates. The boba is okay (I haven't tried other toppings), could be much softer/chewier but good for Winston Salem. I also like that they allow you to customize your sugar/ice content. I've tried the taro slush (7/10), strawberry milk tea (6/10, way too artificial), and lychee black tea (7/10) all with boba toppings. Their wamochi is delicious (mochi waffle) and I would like to try more of their flavor options next time I visit. Their pricing is somewhat expensive for the amount of drink you actually get. read more

Visit Date: August 2, 2021 (Soft Opening) INTRO: Momo Ashi Cafe was the FIRST official boba tea shop to open in Winston-Salem. With this title comes big responsibilities. My friends and I attended their soft opening last year, and we were all brimming with anticipation. We no longer had to drive 30 minutes to Greensboro to satisfy our boba tea cravings. However, our expectations came crashing down. We were disappointed in their service, and more importantly, the quality of their products. We waited over 30 minutes for 2 boba teas and 2 desserts. I think there were less than 10 customers in the store. It didn't help that they had a little kid manning the cashier either. If I'm being completely honest, this was one of the worst boba teas I've ever had in my life. Winston-Salem is desperately still in need of its own go-to boba tea shop. DESSERT 1: Matcha Red Bean Slush ($5.25) - The ice wasn't crushed completely. The ice chunks were larger than the ice found in an ICEE, so you can imagine how difficult it was to drink it. It literally felt like I was eating ice rather than consuming a drink. There absolutely no flavor at all. I couldn't taste any matcha. I mean, just look at the drink. It's not even mixed properly. You can clearly see that the huge chunks of ice aren't mixing with the matcha. 1/10 DESSERT 2: Iced Matcha Latte ($4.75) - Heavily watered down. Tastes more like matcha-flavored water. The drink was bland, and the texture of the boba balls were not normal. 5/10 DESSERT 3: Nutella Banana Toast ($6.00) - It's literally a piece of white bread topped with bananas and chocolate syrup. It didn't even taste like they used real Nutella. The white bread was your ordinary bread you can pick up from Food Lions or Harris Teeter. 2/10 DESSERT 4: Brown Sugar Boba Waffle ($5.00) - NOW we're finally talking. THis was the best item on their menu BY FAR. I honestly don't think it's worth $6 for the size, but I get it. They run a business and need to make money. 7/10 VENUE: Cute, pink interior with a few tables and chairs available for dining in. Most people tend to pick up their orders to-go. PARKING: There is a huge parking lot in the plaza, so parking will never be an issue. WORTH IT? Based on the more recent reviews, I'm hoping Momo Ashi received the proper feedback and implemented the respective changes to their boba teas, pastries, and food-preparation process. I have not been back since I was traumatized by my initial experience. Based on my first trip here, I would NOT recommend Momo Ashi to anyone. However, I am open to giving them another shot in the future. (Overall 3/10) read more
Wrote a review on another page for this business because I couldn't find this page, but hopefully Yelp can merge it over because I'm feeling too lazy to write it again. I will update this review as well after getting to try the waffles and bubble tea! read more
