This place have amazing customer service. I bought a berry smoothie for my daughter but she did not like the little seeds in it. The owner noticed how her drink was still full and as we were leaving, she ran out after us and asked what was wrong. She then made a new drink for her without any hesitation. The drinks tasted amazing and I will definitely come back here every time we visit Reno! They're awesome! read more

New favorite boba spot in Reno!! The asian aesthetic is so cute and their menu has so many different options!! The workers are so nice as well! read more

Thai tea is the most disgusting drink I ever had. My me want to vomit. Beware. They were not willing to make a different drink for me. So, just know that if you order this sickening beverage. read more

After trying all the boba places in town I can say Num Num has one of better milk teas, but the boba is disappointing.. hard and chewy. Avoid. read more

Top Tier Boba Spot. The crew running the shop were nice and funny and really helpful with getting us ingredient info. I've tried most of the boba spots in Reno/Carson/Gardnerville/Sparks and am so happy to be able to say that Num Num Boba is now my go-to spot. I got the almond milk tea with rose milk cap and egg pudding topping. It was SO tasty! The honeydew milk tea with normal boba was also really good! I also tried the bubble waffle with banana and Nutella and added whip cream on top. It was great and they made it quick. The decor is adorable and the plushies and purses they sell is super cute. All in all, a great spot for a tasty treat. Oh, and they have a variety of hot Char Siu Bao that are hot and ready to eat at checkout. Highly recommend. read more

What can I say... I'm a boba fanatic and have had my fair share of boba from Vegas, LA and Sac. Num Num Boba opened up near my house and they are amazing. They remind me of boba drinks from Asia like Koi Bubble Tea in Singapore. Every time I go-- I try something new! It's all great. My favorite is the Strawberry Fruit Tea with boba- 25% sugar. That's what I love-- that you can do less sugar! Best of all- they have stamp cards! Woo hoo! I'm probably already on my third stamp card! So if you live in the NW-- stop by! Plus the staff are super nice and can give great recommendations. read more

Num Num Boba - Yummy! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Liquid candy boba isn't my thing. If you like super sweet (even when you request 25% sweet), super artificial colors and flavors, then this place might be for you. I just can't do it. Three stars for not having to go inside. They will bring your order to the car upon request! (I'm glad there are now boba places that are leaning towards more natural products. They aren't easy to find, but they do exist.) read more

Love this place!!! Awesome, fun, clean atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and the drinks are AMAZING!! Yum Yum!!

Wide variety of flavors. Deliciously made. Super cute establishment with games for kids and tables to sit.

5 stars for the drinks however, 1 star due to the staff's negligence in following precautions to help prevent spread of the virus. Staff was very inconsistent in wearing facial coverings as well as inappropriate wearing of masks with the nose exposed. We all have to protect each other even if it may seem to be an inconvenience. read more

Staff is always super friendly & sweet. I love the vibe at Num Num Boba! It's a cool kick it spot. I like the cute items they have on sale. The boba/drinks always hit the spot read more

I love that they always have new flavor combos! Tried the matcha cheesecake and blueberry cheesecake and they were delicious! I loved how the matcha wasn't too sweet and topped off with graham crackers, the tapioca was made perfectly as well! Blueberry cheesecake was a bit too sweet to my liking but it still was very tasty! read more

I'm a HUGE bubble tea fan! I was excited to try this new (well, new to me) place while in Reno. I ordered 4 drinks: Thai milk tea, honeydew milk tea, tiger milk tea, and guava fruit tea with mango boba pop. All of the drinks tasted delicious! The boba we received in the first 3 of the listed drinks was a bit undercooked. BUT the servers were friendly and informed. The faces to seal the drinks were fun to look at, too. I'm sure the boba was just an accident. Would definitely try again! read more

Staff was very friendly, but drinks were just ok. Boba was hard and did not taste fresh. Definitely have had better and will not be returning. read more

Very disappointing we ordered 3 large halo Halohalo and Tai Tea and all the Boba thats in it are very hard! It is not cooked all the way! This is the very first time we didn't like our orders. Even the bread was hard the bottom part. It's okay if they raised the prices but at least don't changed the quality of their drinks and foods. read more

Num Num Boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

My favorite boba place! After trying several boba places in town, I keep on going back here. I like that their boba is not over or under cooked. The halo halo is a new favorite of mine. Love the diverse flavors and additions. The Hong Kong waffles and buns are delicious. My kid loves playing with all the games they have. I hope the Virginia location get some of the activities as well. read more

First time trying this great local spot! The various menu options are impressive! I am looking forward to trying more of their delicious beverages. They also offer warmed buns (BBQ, Teriyaki and mushroom filled) which are the perfect snack to pair with your boba. I recommend the mushroom bun! read more

We waited for what seemed like a long time for disappointment. Our order was incorrect (and so was the order before ours). Even at 50% sweetness, my drink was stomachachingly sweet. We ordered two of the specialty drinks, strawberry shortcake and halo halo, as well as a fruit tea. This store would not make it in our area. The employees did not move with any sense of purpose and seemed to be unsure how to make the specialty drinks listed on their menu. The texture of the boba was decent, but we didn't care for the flavor of whatever sweetener they were soaked in. As avid boba drinkers, we don't understand the high ratings as our drinks were not worth the drive or the long wait. read more

My wife and I tried Num Num Boba for the first time this week. We ordered the plain black tea with milk and boba, 25% sweet. Having Taiwanese people in my family, and having many international student friends, I am spoiled from true "nai-cha" found in Taiwan (as well as the incredible selection in So. Cal.) and so I have high standards when it comes to boba tea. Also, I teach entrepreneurship at UNR and always like to observe what could be improved from a small business standpoint. So if you want to read more, here goes: The good: The tea itself, that we ordered, was probably the best tasting milk tea we have had from any of Reno-area's boba and Taiwanese shops (which isn't a whole lot, but overall it still tasted good). It tasted freshly brewed, rather than powdered tea mixes. This was a big plus. The environment of the shop was cute, welcoming, and we were tempted to just sit down and enjoy the cozy environment of this nice little place. What could be improved: The boba tapioca pearls, as nearly every place we've tasted here in the Reno area and most of the States, are a little too chewy. Boiling them more to a softer texture would make it more true to the fantastic popular boba tea we find all throughout Taiwan and Asia. Some shops in Southern California have finally nailed it down, like Half & Half, as well as Gong-Cha. The environment and business itself; Too many choices. As with many small business owners in the food industry that startup, Num Num Boba is trying to offer too much . . . too soon. We walked in and my head hurt from the overabundance of choices of tea flavors and specialty add-ins. The first thing we saw was a chalkboard loaded with "today's specialty drinks" with complicated names, but no pictures. And an ordering board hard to read, with too many items. They had names and some photos of snacks, but it was confusing. There is too much clutter on the counters, and a food warmer with bakery items that are only in-stock on the weekends. My recommendation to the owner: SIMPLIFY. Get rid of at least half of your tea flavors, and stick with 5-10 at the most tea choices. Make the standard plain teas more prominent and featured (Black, Green, Oolong, Jasmine), make sure they are freshly brewed, and limit the add-ins. And in my opinion, get rid of the smoothies (boba tea is what sets them apart, . . . smoothies are everywhere). It's simple. Just stick with your top half selling items. It will save a lot of inventory expense. And it will make ordering for customers simple, the shop less cluttered and make actual staff training/recipes and order consistency work. As for snacks, pick one or two snack types. Perhaps just waffles and/or snowflake. Limit the options. Get rid of the other stuff. And showcase high-quality photos of your items. If Num Num Boba simplifies, and focuses and improves on their top sellers, I can see them growing to success and maybe even developing a regional chain. We liked their tea. They just simply need to simplify. I hope they survive and thrive. If they don't take those suggestions, they may end up like many of the Midtown businesses I was helping during the artwalk that are no longer around. Trying to be everything to everybody doesn't work. Well, at least I will come in for another black milk tea with boba sometime. It was sure good. read more

Best boba in Reno quick service so many drink options and best of all the most affordable. They have the best boba drops and very good fruit tea to die for! Overall 10/10 the one thing they should add more of is smoothies. Great atmosphere and building as well the interior is great with games and a fun seating area inside. read more

This place is too conveniently located by my work. I have to have some type of self control or I'd be coming here everyday. I've had a variety of drinks off the menu. All of them delicious. Their boba is a tasty and have a nice pop. Staff is nice, friendly, and helpful. Would recommend anyone to come here. read more

Super helpful and nice staff, boba is delicious and yummy little filled buns, my kids got the pork and liked them A lot, I got the chicken potato curry, very mild flavor. Would totally get it again. Nice little place, definitely recommend, go check it out! read more

I was excited to hear of a new boba place close, and it is kind of a cute name for a boba place which I like. Reading the reviews of the place made me visit as soon as possible. So I went in last week and the staff weren't very welcoming but I don't really care I'm here for the boba! But I got a milk tea and my friend got the green monster smoothie, the milk tea didn't have any good flavor that kept me sipping and my friends smoothie was the same. It was pretty disappointing because I expected it to be great after all the reviews that I read. I'm not sure if I'll be coming back, maybe in the future but I'll stick to other locations. Friendly staff- no Drinks - no atmosphere - cute Options - many read more

A beautiful mix of Asian culture within a small metropolitan area is truly a lighthouse in our little city. The mix of flavors and the endless possibilities is really phenomenal. I can't get over how good this place is. I don't even like boba, but my girlfriend does so we go get coffee and stuff sometimes. And this place is straight gas, full on pressure. Don't sleep on em read more

Num Num Boba - Thai Tea Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Yayyy more boba! Had to try the new place in town and was not disappointed! I ordered a blended avocado lightly sweetened with boba and asked for the cute boba man cup. It just made me so happy! Drink was made with real avocado and the boba was perfect! My only suggestion is to not use the colored markers on the cup. I had to remove it all with a napkin shortly as the condensation from the cup makes it messy. Staff was super friendly too. Looking forward to returning. read more

I absolutely love this place! Great seating for a chat with friends and great tasting teas. Their jelly's and tapioca pearls are perfectly prepared and soft to the center. Their taro tea is my favorite and I recommend it to anyone! read more

I've been here a few times and I'm never disappointed! Very good variety of flavors and the staff is very quick.

Yum Yum Num Num Boba! My family and I always order a few gallon of this stuff especially the Tiger Milk Tea. We like to add pudding and crystal boba to our drinks to add some jazz. We don't like it sweet so we go with the 25%. YMMV. Staff is always friendly even when the owners aren't there. Can't wait for them to open back up to normal operations. read more

I've been waiting for a long time for a good boba place to open, and this place passes all of the tests!! I ordered a specialty drink, just to see what they were made of - the strawberry shortcake. Milk smoothie with strawberry boba and jelly, topped with graham crumbles. I added some Matcha pudding, since it peaked my interest. I'm glad I ordered 50% sweetness, because the jelly's had a lot of sweetness already. But it was all so tasty!!! Definitely coming back to check out the rest of the extensive options. Oh! And to try their shaved ice! read more

Crazy good! Had the "mango sticky rice", and it was love at first taste. Almost wish I hadn't liked my first drink so much because now when I return I will be tempted to order the same and there are so many other teas, and flavors, and boba to try. read more

Can't wait to tell everyone about you guys. Please keep bringing new flavor I will try them all read more
