I had NM Signature Milk Tea and it's fairly inexpensive for an XL which is the same size as an XL from Gong Cha but better. A little bit too many toppings in the milk tea in my opinion so there wasn't as much tea which was already on the weaker side in terms of milk teas. But each topping was delicious, from the boba to the pudding I think and the grass jelly. read more

So so good, best boba place I've been to by far! Great service, and a cute little spot. read more

I was super excited to try the bubble tea here after reading good reviews, but my personal experience was just ok. I got a small Coconut Milk Green Tea ($4.29) and added white pearls (agar pearls) for an extra $0.80. I got 30% sweet and less ice. My drink was the right level of sweetness and coldness, but I found the drink a bit gritty and it had a bitter aftertaste to me. I also felt they could have been more generous with the pearls. Service was courteous and efficient. Free parking in the plaza parking lot. read more

Too bad . I will never go there again. I tried bubble tea before and i ordered blueberry juice with some pearls which was tasteless.

Just dropped off our kid for first year and after all the unpacking and moving boxes was badly in need of a refreshing drink. Noon Moment was nice and close so we decided to give it a try. My grapefruit black tea with sago was as expected but the fresh pineapple macchiato was on the light side. They were out of Aiyu jelly which I really want to try. Oh well next time. Otherwise all good. read more

Excellent fruit based bubble tea as you can tell from the boxes of mangoes, pineapples and other fruit which line the walls as you go in. The space itself is fairly big, with two floors and some board games available for a great time hanging out with friends! The prices are affordable compared to other bubble tea shops, although the milk tea is powder based. The mango diamond slush was excellent with chunks of mango visible, and a very mango-y taste in every sip! Definitely fresh, and good value for large and x-tra large sizes (can replace a meal perhaps). They have 1 reg drink free every 8 drinks with vicinity, which is a bit faster than other shops too! With elite, it becomes a large drink free! Will definitely try other drinks in the future! read more

Noon Moment - Mango diamond slush! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Used to come here more often as I was in the area but every time i'm back, Noon Moment is always a place I pay a visit to before i leave. I've always liked supporting small businesses and it's nice to see how far they've come too. Now with more than just 1 store. They have renovated since I was last here and everything looks more modern and cleaner. They still have a good variety of drinks. Prices have gone up though (but fair since it's gone up everywhere). I still find the quality is there as always. The ice cream black tea is remains my go-to (with no extra sugar, and adding tapioca). For those who like 0 sugar, this one provides the perfect amount of sugar and creaminess from the ice cream without still being sweet like other places with their "0% sugar" read more

Since COVID19, their hours have changed so call ahead if you are looking for take out. They're also on Uber eats, which I have ordered a couple times, but ordering through Uber eats always messes up on at least one of my drinks! Sugar level on drinks are a lot more than regular drinks (I generally order 30% sugar, and it tasted more like 70%~100%). Overall, their teas are still very flavourful, just very sugary! read more

I love this place their drinks taste fabulous. I ended up ordering 3 drinks and if I come in personally I will order these drinks again. Strawberry & Bannana, Passion Fruit with Green Tea, Peach with Black Tea. I am very satisfied with all of them. I will recommend to anybody who is a tea lover like me. read more

Noon Moment - Passion Fruit with Green Tea, Peach with Black Tea, Strawberry & Bannana. - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Best bubble tea in Waterloo !!! I get either taro sherbet or mango diamond and my daughter loves the honeydew sherbet and the butterfly series iced tea . Cheaper than other places but oh so good. They also have board games and such if you stay in store you can play with . read more

Noon Moment - Butterfly series iced tea - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Out of all the boba places, this one is my fave! It's always brightly lit, with a selection of board games to choose from. On their menu, there is milk tea, herbal tea, fresh fruit smoothies, dessert and a variety of fried items. Pretty good for a small place likes this, I'd say. I recommend trying the mango diamond if you haven't tried it yet. Their milk teas are pretty decent too. Although their takoyaki is from frozen, I really like it! They have the mayo, bonito flakes AND takoyaki sauce which a lot of places don't put on their takoyaki. Whenever my friends want boba I always suggest this place before any other! read more

Noon Moment - Original milk tea with grass jelly - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Anything fruit based without milk is a winner here. Fresh fruit everywhere. There is a variety of board games that you can play and an upper floor that isn't as crowded. The value is great especially if you get the larger sizes. read more

Noon Moment - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

A new bubble tea place in KW area (though not too close from campus), this place brings new bubble tea ideas that does not exist here yet! Their most well known drink is probably their mango diamond. It's a mango slush with real mango fruit, which is amazing cause I am a huge fan of mango. They also got a unique selection of toppings e.g coffee jelly, aiyu jelly etc. Pricewise they are definitely a bit cheaper than its competitors (starting from only 3.25). Besides the large size upgrade (only 75 cents extra) they also offer the XL size (1.75 extra) which is definitely large enough to fulfull anyones bbt cravings. Besides the mango diamond, I have tried one of their milk teas but have had a not so great experience. Their malt milk tea tasted really weird, it was nothing how I imagined it would taste like (I get malt a lot in other places). Noon moment's malt tasted really burnt which was a bit unpleasant. Though it was my only time trying a milk tea there, hopefully it was a unique case. Overall a great place for chilling, they got a lot of tables and boardgames (mostly chinese games). read more

Noon Moment - Mango diamond +malt milk tea - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Had their fresh fruit mango and had a taste of their almond milk tea. The almond milk tea was particularly bland but their fresh fruit mango was great. Not Chatime quality but definitely a change from Sweet Dreams. Also had their takoyaki, very well priced for the quality (they were delicious). They also have board games on the side and free wifi. Interior is clean and brightly decorated. I'd come here more often if I lived closer! So far it's a pretty quiet place as it's not well known to most students. read more

Excellent bubble tea, with quick fast service. The best in Waterloo and better than most places in Toronto. It's what you'd expect from any great bubble tea shop; you can customize your bubble tea all the way to the small details, play boardgames, and they have a very spacious shop. read more

I had the chance to try their bubble tea and specialty drinks over the last couple weeks while they still had their buy one get one free offer (the flyers for which they were illegally handing out in various places). The first cups of mango diamond that I got when they first opened were fantastic. Many chunks of diced mangoes in a mixture that's has more taste than most smoothies I've had. Their prices are also very low compared to many bbt places in Waterloo/Ontario. The staff are friendly and kind. The restaurant is clean and newly decorated. However, subsequent cups of mango diamond weren't as good as the first and I wonder if I'll be going back again. read more

I mean, considering its proximity to Waterloo/Laurier, the pricing of the drinks, and the considerable selection of board games, this place is pretty great. I had the durian slushie with tapioca and it was really tasty. Just the right amount of sweetness balanced by the overpowering "stench" of durian.. yum! ;) The tapioca was soft and chewy but not too mushy. Overall, this is a great place to hangout with friends to grab a few drinks and talk, or play a few games. The place was clean and tidy and well-lit. I would note, however, that the music was just a little too loud. read more

Nice cozy spot on the corner of King & University. Smoothies made from real fruits- they had stacks of crates of fresh mango by the store. read more

The place is very clean and service is fast. Their original milk tea is far better than Chatime but their best drink would be the Mango Diamond. The Mango Diamond has fresh cut up mangos in it 10/10 would recommend this drink to anyone especially if you have never been here before. read more

Love love love this place and their fresh drink offerings. I've been here a few times but on this occasion, it was a particularly hot spring-summer day and nothing hit the spot like their bucket-sized Mango Diamond BBT. Honestly quite inexpensive, given the fresh mango pieces at the bottom. Pure ambrosia. read more

Noon Moment - Mango Diamond - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

I like it that they have extra large sizes for their cups. I like their smoothies and shakes!! It is very tasty.

There are a lot of different options available at Noon Moment. It's kind of hidden in the back of a plaza so it's very easy to miss. However, they have very good bubble tea! They're my go-to spot near Laurier campus because they have mango jelly (Chatime doesn't). They also have a rotating menu with new options every once in a while. The only thing keeping them from a 5 star review is a lack of focus on customer service. You can have a wait of up to 10 minutes even with only a few customers because they really take their time making the drinks. There are also board games to play there which is very cute! read more

Noon Moment - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

This is the absolute best bubble tea place in town. Why? Well first off, I'm more into fruitie drinks now. If you're the same then definitely give Noon Moment a try. Their real fruit smoothies are the best - specially the Mango Diamond and Durian (acquired taste aha). Since they actually use real fruits, the drinks are perfectly sweet, filled with fresh chunks of fruit pieces AND are super healthy. Plus, they have 3 different sizes; medium, large, and X-large. The XL is only $6 and omg ... that worth. Youre not only getting quality drinks but the best value. The boss is a super nice guy and works extraordinarily hard. It's unfortunate that the location is sorta hidden but it's honestly worth the trip for some good mind blowing smoothies. read more

Noon Moment is a cute bubble tea shop that has games for you to sit and play with your friends (no time limit), though towards the end, seats get filled! I decided to get the fresh taro milk with pudding and add jelly to it. This is an awesome drink because it's not a powdered drink, but actual taro slushed together woth milk. I wasn't a huge fan of the pudding, but it wasnt bad either. This was literally a meal though (a lot of starch), I wasn't expecting that, but definitely a good item to try. They have really fun games and I recommend coming as a group of at least four for more variety of games! They also take vicinity! read more

This is the best bubble tea in Kitchener-Waterloo. Yes, this beats Chatime and Sweet Dreams, although to me, Sweet Dreams doesn't even deserve to be a contender. The owners of this shop are awesome! They work hard, they're kind, and they make the best bubble tea. I particularly love their use of fresh fruit. My favourites include the coconut smoothie, watermelon slush, and the mango diamond. Even their various milk teas are delicious because they really steep the tea, and you can taste the quality of the tea leaves that they use. Finally, their tapioca is consistently excellent. I've been here countless times, and have never had dodgy tapioca. If you are looking for bubble tea in the KW area, this is where you want to go. You'll have some of the best, and most authentic bubble tea around, bar none. read more

I LOVE this place. I'm a regular here for a reason and I've tried basically everything they have to offer... Which is a lot! The staff is what makes this place just that much better. Super friendly and just amazing people. Although there are many other Bubble Tea places in Waterloo this by far my favourite hands down. If you haven't been... I love their watermelon juice slush the most with green apple jelly and bubbles. Their mango diamond has a ton of mango in it which is perfect as well. Their pomegranate slush is delicious too. And of course they have classic drinks which are equally as great. I'm considering getting a job there. Oh and make sure you get a stamp card! read more

Noon Moment - Delicious mint milk tea! - Tea Rooms Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Do: get their fresh mango slush/smoothie. It is made out of real mango and it is awesome. Do NOT: get their milk tea. It is so powdery I thought of my foundation makeup. read more

Must order: their taro sherbet. Usually I'm not a big fan of taro flavoured bubble tea, but its so delicious here! Recently been coming here a lot more than Chatime. read more

We always go there to high out, their blue berry juice is very good but ur tongue will be purple so don't drink it if u r on a date. Their mango diamond is so good, there r so many chunks of mango slices inside! I personally like their snacks, all of them! All of them! read more

I cannot come here for bubble tea. Come here instead for mango/coconut slushy. They use real fruits in general and their tapioca pearls are usually on point. My tip regarding the coconut slush is to get it regular since half sweet makes for less coconut flavour and chunks of coconut in it. One thing I also like is that they have the point system that's implemented many other bubble tea stores and shops. They also except tap & ApplePay which is useful. The games available and lots of tables make this place a good place to drop by and hang out with friends. read more

Update: tried their taro flavour this time and it's amazing. They actually put real, freshly grounded taro in there, not those powder stuff

Fair pricing and amazing bubble tea at a location with good parking. Ordered the Taro Sherbet with 30% sugar and no toppings, while my friend got the Matcha Sherbet with Grass Jelly. She forgot to mention the sweetness level, and her drink came out way too sweet, but I really enjoyed mine. Will defs return to try more of the drinks, and maybe a board game or two. P.S. They have Wifi, not the best place to study as it can get a bit loud, but cool to hangout at. read more

Clean, fresh ingredients. The seating area is quite spacious with an upstairs as well. There are board games and stuff to play with. Prices are good, especially for the quality. The milk teas seem a bit bland, although that might be because they use real tea, and don't add that much sugar or ice. I'd probably go with the fruit juices or smoothies next time. They have waffles, japanese-style toast, takoyaki, squid balls, taiwanese salt-pepper chicken nuggets, and other stuff. I could not understand a word of the owner's english, but he seemed to understand me. lol. Recommended. read more

I called in my order and was told it would be ready in 20min. I arrived exactly 20min later. However, I waited 30 additional min (50min total) to receive my 2 mango smoothies. I watched multiple orders get delivered with order numbers after mine. Not sure why it takes so long. I asked multiple times and simply got a nod in response. I believe I received poor customer service. The drinks are good but shouldn't take almost an hour. read more

Best bubble tea place that has FRESH fruit!!! I love ordering the watermelon drink in the summer because it's refreshing. Their service is very friendly and fast but on the weekends it can be a bit busy but I don't mind the wait. The atmosphere of the place is very open and it's a great place to spend time with friends,drink bubble tea, and play some games that they provide! I literally come here every week that's how much I love this place :) read more

Fantastic bubble tea place that opened up when I was a freshman at UW (currently finishing up my second year now). Being the adventurous kid I was, I decided to check it out in the week of their opening and was pleasantly surprised. It's a small location, but the owners are very friendly and the atmosphere is clean and nice. Bubble tea tastes great; I largely prefer it to other places like Sweet Dreams, Bubble Teas, Campus Bubble, etc. It's a place that's a slight walk from the UW campus, but it's worth it every single time. read more

I love coming here. I found this gem back in first year and it's my go-to bubble tea place. Even the trip down towards Laurier is worth it! They use fresh fruit and you can tell! read more

Heard about this place when it first opened through a coupon book we got in the mail, after one visit we quickly became regulars. MANY choices, kind staff and clean please to relax with friends. Wait times can get a little long when it's busy but that's to be expected. Can't wait for my next visit :) read more

Great spot in Waterloo to grab bubble tea and a variety of other teas. Very good quality, fresh ingredients, and always consistent. It can get busy at times, but the staff are great and friendly. read more
