Ume Tea has been a go-to spot for me, and it's about time I left a review…read more We got the Strawberry Yogurt Slushy w/ Crystal boba ($6.75) and Guava Strawberry Yogurt Slushie w/ Popping Oats ($6.75). The drinks came out quickly and were delicious! I appreciate how you can really taste the yogurt in their yogurt drinks. Every drink I've gotten here has been tasty--not too sweet and ingredients are highlighted well! I love Ume tea for their consistency and expansive menu! They have a drink for everyone, and I love how they keep things exciting by adding new drinks to their menu every so often. While there is limited seating, the option between a self-service kiosk or ordering the old-fashioned way makes for a quick, convenient experience. This location is found in a strip mall with plenty of parking too. Overall, Ume Tea has become my go-to place for boba! Highly recommend their yogurt slushies.

I have been here a few times. My kid likes their taro shake with boba. We tried their ceylon tea,…read moremango yogurt, oreo creme brule, uji boba matcha latte with ice cream. My son didn't like the oreo creme brule so he sticks to taro shake. Their prices are reasonable and they give a good amount of boba compared to some other places. I am giving them 4 stars because during my last visit, their boba was hard, which means it was undercooked or old. That's some rookie mistakes for a boba shop. Hopefully it will be better next time.

They have 2 kiosk you can order from or a cashier. It's better to order from the kiosk because the person making the food is also the cashier. From what I could see it was only 2 ppl working and it was pretty busy. Spam Musubi: 5.5/10. Good flavor, small slice of spam and a major portion of rice. Not a good ratio Tuna poke by the pound: 6/10 I chose house sauce, teriyaki & spicy mayo. The house sauce was bland and the other sauce were just ok. Not something I would run back for. The place is upstairs in a food court area. It was clean and no indoor seating Taro Boba: 4/10 no flavor and watery Matcha Boba 3/10 super watery and no flavor

​I walked into this venue 20 minutes before closing time. When I tried to order, the staff informed…read moreme that the rice wouldn't be ready for another 20 minutes. I replied that it was completely fine with me, then I placed and paid for my order. ​The second the payment cleared, they turned around and told me they actually weren't going to make the rice at all. ​Why lie? If you don't want to serve food close to closing time, just say that upfront instead of pulling a blatant bait-and-switch. Utterly dishonest and terrible customer service. Had issues with the tablet and when I tried to explain the confusion to the staff, they repeatedly cut me off and wouldn't let me properly explain what I was seeing, confidently insisting on what they assumed the problem was. They just ended up wasting more of my "20 minutes". Ontop of that the amount of guest they turned away was baffling. If you want a better experience, stick with Panda Express where they are upfront about what you can order and always treat you right.

This time, I…read morestopped by their Burbank location to try the new peach series, and the Peach Yogurt Yakult was definitely my favorite. It was fruity, tangy, and so refreshing, especially if you already love yogurt drinks like I do! The Fresh Peach Slush was also really good and tasted fresh. The shop has a nice ambiance with a few seating spots, and the service was friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back!

It's incredibly cheap compared to a ton of places, and you get a large size (which most places charge $8-10). The interior is tiny but very cute and clean. Cheese Osmanthus Oolong (5/5 stars) - the cheese foam was delicious and I love the osmanthus bits at the bottom, the tea is nice and strong Matcha Latte (5/5) - Very good quality matcha that is not over powered by the milk Overall, this is the place to go!

Was craving some late-night boba and was glad 3CAT was open! I tried the Mochi Barley Burst (less…read moresweet), and it was so yummy. It's a black milk tea with soft mochi topping and a barley popping boba, which make for such a fun texture! I love anything mochi, so this drink was perfect! You order at one of the kiosks, and service is pretty fast. There's limited seating, but it feels more like a grab-and-go boba spot. There's also a parking lot attached to the plaza, which is convenient, although it seems like it can get pretty busy during peak hours.

Boba Upgraded! The Mochi Barley Burst Is an Absolute Must-Try…read more 3CAT Handcrafted Beverage has become one of my new favorite boba spots! This is a tea-forward spot that makes all ingredients and toppings fresh from scratch daily. Their most well-known unique topping is the barley popping boba. They use a real-chewy highland barley grain that gives off a nutty, earthy and milkdly sweet pop that makes for a unique texture. The fan-favorite drink is the Mochi Barley Burst which pairs a floral black milk tea with the popping barley and fresh handcrafted mochi. The tea does not have any artificial syrups and uses an organic milk with a bold tea base. The handcrafted mochi is super fun to have with the popping barley because it is pillowy and velvety. Make sure to mix it well together, so you can enjoy the whole drink for all its features. I like the ambiance of the shop. It's a smaller shop with some seating area. You order your drink at the self-service station. There's quite a few staff working to make the drinks, so we got our drinks in less than 10 minutes. I adore 3CAT and I would highly recommend visiting if you haven't already!

I was beyond excited to finally have a cute Boba place open up in Sherman Oaks and it 'WAS' good…read morewhen it first opened. Then that changed. Not sure if it's changed ownership? but I've given em at LEAST 3 chances to redeem themselves and it's been a no go. As a boba lover, whenever I try a new place I always start with the basics like milk tea or an earl grey milk tea. If a shop can't get those right, it's usually downhill from there. And that's what I'veI tried. Each time the result was so watered down and tasteless, I either let them remake it for me (which still never turned out right) or it went straight into the trash (goodbye $). It's really sad because I believe the new owner, a younger guy, seems VERY VERY nice and really wants to make your drink right but he needs help running the shop AND, more importantly, help finessing the recipes so they taste right. Really bummed about this place, it's a very cute shop, but I've tried too many times. PLEASE FIX YOUR RECIPES SO YOU CAN SUCCEED AND I CAN COME BACK!

This tea cafe is located inside a Japanese restaurant. Idk if this happens to anyone else but it…read morewas kind of confusing when trying to figure out where the restaurant was. Once found, the restaurant is really cute and quaint. The colors inside are vibrant and inviting! Now for the drink options...I wanted my usual favorite, the Thai milk tea. I didn't order it because they only carried whole milk and had no other milk alternative. They expressed that the drinks are premade, I'm assuming that's the milk teas. So, I ordered this sparkling tea. Wasn't impressed but unless I'm only in the mood for fruit tea I wouldn't come to this cafe. I think it's a cute spot overall and would be interested in returning to try the Japanese food.

They use only lactose free whole milk! When she served me through the p/u window, she made sure to encourage me to mix the drinks up a bit before tasting and reiterated that Bopomofo wants each customer to be happy, so they have a 100% guarantee. I appreciated that, but a quick couple of stirs and sips later and I was sending her an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up through the window. The added boba was fresh and chewy and perfect! The black sesame cookies & cream is HEAVEN! Such a treat! The brown sugar pudding milk tea was a perfect after lunch refresher! This is an order and go cafe, located on the 3rd floor of Ovation, facing the main courtyard. No tables inside and you are directed to wait for your order outside by the p/u window. It is clean and simple inside, with some small plushies & toys lining the front counter for a hint of whimsy. I will certainly return for the Black Sesame Cookies & Cream the next time I'm visiting Ovation Hollywood. Cheers! "CC"
