I've been going to Sweet Dreams Teashop since I was a first year undergrad. Over the years, many restaurants in the University Plaza have closed down, but this cozy little teashop has only gotten better! Lunch specials (choice of ramen, udon, or steamed dumplings) with bubble tea starting at $6.99. The sponge toast is also great to snack on with a friend.
Bottom line: Best bubble tea in town, great cozy atmosphere, and close to the university... what more can you ask for? :) -

Went here for a late night treat with my GF and its a nice little shop. Such a change from the mega teashops that dominate the GTA (Markham and Richmond Hill), which is a bonus!
The bubble tea is fairly good though I was misled by my GF who thought that they used real fruit in the fruti flavoured bubble tea. =( I was disappointed but to be fair I have yet to find any bubble tea shop to use real fruit in their Fruit tea drinks (all of them have used flavouring).
environment is nice ranging from quiet to quite loud depending on how busy of a night it is.
would definitely go back as it is one of the better tea shops I've been to, but considering it is also one of the few in waterloo that I have found, it is hard to justify giving this tea shop more than 3 stars. -

Very cute little shop with couches and games, and random Asian merchandises.
They have a lot of selections for bubbles teas and they are all very good. The lunch specials are pretty good deals, it includes a small bbt or you can upgrade to large for only a dollar. -

I've been a regular customer pretty much ever since they've opened. It's a very good place to hang out, play games, lounge around, etc. The thing about this place is that it is in such a good location, it is heavily populated by UW students and some high school students, too.
Their service is pretty good for the most part, but they do take a little longer than most BBT places to prepare the drinks. The quality of bubble tea is pretty good but I've gotten random tea leaves in my cold drinks before. Their hot bubble tea drinks are actually really good, and great for those cold winter days after studying in DC. I also had my birthday there last year, they reserved 4 or 5 tables for us and were very prepared.
Their menu keeps growing, I really recommend Icy Swirls. The food menu is typical BBT food. Sweet Dreams isn't the best place to have good food, it's sort of just an extra that they have. Plus, for the past couple years they've been hiring a lot of Caucasians.
They also sell some over-priced merchandise, and hold events from time to time, i.e. open-mic.
Overall a great place to chill with friends, I guess it's the asian equivalent of WIlliams, which is in the same plaza. -

One of the few places I miss when I am off on coop. This is a really awesome bubble tea shop with both great bubble teas and quality loose leaf tea.
Usually open late its a great place to go if your not into going out to bars, they have board games and cards. It is easy to spend a few hours there with friends playing games and drinking tea.
That being said, you can get a drink there reasonable quickly either to stay or to go, but the food, while good takes a bit longer, so if you are not looking for a speedy lunch I recommend their lunch specials.
My big recommendation, which is what I usually order is the Hot Hong Kong style tea, black tea with milk and honey or sugar. Very smooth, very soothing and calming, good for studying, or after an exam. -

Small little teashop always selling funky things. They have great service -- the waitresses area always bubbly and cheerful. They're the only bubble tea place that I know that will mix flavours for you.
