After being in California for about a week, my daughter was determined to find a place that had…read morepopping boba. We'd tried a few other boba shops along the way, but they either didn't have it or didn't have the flavors she wanted. Then we found Ume! They had mango popping boba, which was exactly what she had been looking for, so she ordered the mango tea with passion fruit . There was a pretty good line when we arrived, which is always a good sign, but they were moving through the orders quickly and we didn't have to wait too long. The shop itself was bright, colorful, and had a fun atmosphere. Her drink was delicious, and the mango popping boba was definitely a hit. The only thing she wasn't a fan of was the passion fruit seeds. She wasn't expecting quite so many of them, and they definitely weren't her favorite part of the drink. Overall, though, she was happy to finally get the popping boba she'd been searching for, and I'd definitely recommend Ume if you're looking for a fun, flavorful boba drink with lots of options.

I really don't like giving one-star reviews. In fact, I try very hard to find any redeeming…read morequalities to give at least a 2 star review, but Auzzy The Bear was beyond salvation. Do note that this review was from the result of only getting the froyo. The frozen yogurt at Auzzy was bad. Inedibly bad. Over priced goop that doesn't taste like the description--although the double chocolate was passable. The flavors were very artificial and tasted a far cry from the labels. It truly made me miss Yogurtland and I almost wanted to find a Yogurtland and go there and then. The toppings were old. You could tell from The chocolate chips when they all have that gray hazy over them--the old chocolate film. They peanut butter chocolates were all stuck together. The other items, pretty bad. Then, they try to pass marshmallows for "mochi". When I asked the guy up front, he said they're just old. No, bro, they're quite soft and look nothing like mochi--mochi gets hard when it's old--but thanks for admitting what I suspected, that many, if not all, of your toppings are stale. Also, thanks for lying to me. $8 for a cup was pretty expensive (mind you we got almost no toppings). At this lack of quality, irredeemable. We didn't finish our yogurt.

Cere Tea is easily one of my favorite, if not my favorite, matcha spots in the Bay Area. If you're…read morelooking for high-quality matcha and delicious einspanners, this place is absolutely worth the drive. // Banana pudding matcha einspanner My go-to. The banana pudding tastes fresh and natural without being overpowering or overly sweet. The cookie crumble adds the perfect bit of texture and ties everything together. It's one of those drinks I keep craving. // Sunny Side Up Matcha Einspanner I genuinely thought they had cracked a real egg on top at first (oopsies). It's actually mango syrup, which is super creative. The mango is definitely on the sweeter side, so I like letting the ice melt just a little before drinking- it balances everything out really nicely. // Hojicha If you're a hojicha fan, you can't go wrong with any of their hojicha drinks. They have a deep, roasted flavor that's incredibly satisfying. My personal favorite is the Osmanthus Hojicha Einspanner because the floral osmanthus pairs beautifully with the nutty hojicha. Beyond the drinks, I also appreciate that the quality is consistently excellent. It's one of the few places where you can really taste the quality of the matcha. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

The line was long due to the weekend, but went by fairly quickly given you order on a touch screen. I had some questions and was able to grab someone making drinks to quickly answer them. There was a a strawberry matcha with strawberry foam on the counter for pick up that looked insane but there was no way to sub out the dairy in the foam (crying in allergies) so I got the oat milk strawberry matcha. It was a little watery and the strawberries were a tad syrupy but overall had great flavor. Easy to order and tables always open up to wait for your drink. Probably not a great place to plan to hang out with your drink through given it's a tad small inside and crowded! Excited to come back and try more drinks!

Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through. Although they recommend 70%, I actually prefer 30% sweetness, less ice. Truly brings out the tea flavor. This location had a new drink Camellia during the LNY. However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

FIVE. finish the drink and open the lid to find one more boba at the bottom of the cup. so you charge $1 for boba as an add on and only give a drink SIX pieces. that is crazy! i never had that issue at any other boba so i was just SHOCKED. i hope it was just a coincidence and when i come back, there will be more than six bobas in my cup.

I'm not a huge boba/milk tea fan so I guess take this as a review from someone with pretty…read moresuperficial knowledge. I tried two drinks, a Vietnamese iced coffee made less sweet and a 3/4 sweet peach... peach something. I forget the name, but the menu is small it's the peach one. Both were fantastic. Definitely on the sweet side but not "this is melted ice cream" sweet like I've had at some places. I'd still probably get the peach one 50% next time. The Vietnamese iced coffee was very intensely flavored, had a great texture, and for whatever reason wasn't as hyper-caffeinated as some I'd had. I've had some Vietnamese coffees that made me feel like I was going to bounce off the walls, this was more mellow. But it still has the strong coffee flavor I'm used to. The peach drink was super refreshing, full of peach flavor, but again the level of sugar wasn't cloying at all. And the little chunks of peach added a nice texture to the experience. Again, not an expert on milk tea/boba, but this was probably some of the best I've had, definitely the best I can remember. Inside the shop is a bit spartan but there's seating for a few groups. You order via a kiosk and then someone brings the drinks out to the counter, so it's a bit impersonal. They take credit cards and the parking lot is a little tight.

We ordered: - Brûlée Green Milk Tea: 4/5 - Be sure to mix it well, as the brûlée layer sticks thickly to the sides of the cup. It had a nice balance of tea flavor and rich brûlée sweetness. - White Peach Oolong Milk Tea w/ Crystal Boba 4/5 - My drink was initially served without the crystal boba, but the staff quickly provided it on the side in a separate cup. The peach and oolong flavors paired well and tasted refreshing. I'd definitely come back to try some of their other drinks!

They had 120+ drinks being made at all times according to their board, so definitely order at least an hour ahead of time on the weekends. When we finally got our drinks, we chugged them because we were so thirsty and they were sooo good. We ordered a variety of drinks: Strawberry Avocado Kale, Strawberry Daifuku, Durian Smoothie and a few of their other fruit smoothies. The Strawberry Avocado Kale and Strawberry Daifuku were definitely the top 2 drinks for us and I'm excited to come back to try the regular Avocado Kale with popping oat boba! There is plenty of seating inside but if you don't like the smell of durian, then I probably wouldn't sit there. Once you enter the store, you are blasted with a waft of durian air. Overall, 10/10, can't wait to come back when I'm in South Bay!

It was a 20 minute wait at opening. TAKEAWAY: I don't know if these drinks can be a meal replacement. Parking here sucks, small lot.

Quite a peculiar boba spot that intrigued me enough to try it out---to which I had regrets in even…read moremaking that choice. Ambience: The shop is not tidy and has a lot of random objects/decorations around; for instance, Christmas decorations and posters that are peeling off. There are also signs that are leaned against the wall in customer areas, like it is an extension of their store storage space. The lack of tidiness & cleanliness made me apprehensive to touch anything and it is certainly not welcoming. I don't even want to imagine how their kitchen area is upkept if they can barely manage their public space. Drinks: My partner and I ordered the white peach boba milk tea and the tiger milk tea. It's really nothing special and it befuddles me that there is high praise for the quality of their drinks. The tea flavour is not strong, nor is the boba made with quality in mind as it was hard in the center. I'm under the assumption that their fruit teas are front-loaded with artificial syrups since that's what the white peach resembled. Price: To compromise quality, the price point is the selling factor. Boba priced around $5-$7 is a rarity these days, but this shop does it. Just know that you're paying for lesser quality in your order. Customer Service: Wow, that needs work. The other review was not kidding about their employees and how they communicate. Customer interactions can heavily change the view of the store and will make/break the experience. With this already broken experience being topped by their employee "communication," I'm surprised they have returning customers. There are a plethora of better boba shops in the same area. I reckon you opt for those if you value strong tea flavour, better customer service, and---most importantly---a store that values cleanliness.
