I heard Uniquely Green (UG) being called the "Gentle Monster" of boba tea shops, and after visiting, I totally get why! The interior is stunningly futuristic, sleek, and minimalist, featuring a lot of metallic silver and vibrant green accents. They clearly put a ton of thought into curating a space that is incredibly visually pleasing and highly aesthetic. But it's not just about the looks, the drinks are fantastic. They serve exceptional matcha here; you can instantly tell they use high-quality powder, and every drink is crafted with precision. The most impressive part of the experience was the efficiency. Despite the absolute crowd, they were pumping out orders at lightning speed. We were easily 80th in line for drinks, but our order came out in under 20 minutes. For comparison, a line that long could easily mean a 30 to 50-minute wait at a spot like HeyTea. If you appreciate great matcha and a cool atmosphere, this spot is an absolute must-visit! read more

Very tasty matcha latte and camellia oolong milk tea. Come soon while they still have the new membership promo. We got $5 off on the first drink then came back to get the free camellia oolong milk tea on our 2nd visit. The interior is gives me the vibe of kpop. They have a restroom in the store (thank you!) So many boba shops removed customer restrooms completely since Covid. This can be a plus especially if you plan to sit here to chat with friends. They have several outside tables as well as some benches for you to sit and wait for your drinks. We plan come back soon to try the other drinks. read more

5 stars for the aesthetic and interior design. The drink itself however was just okay I got the Rice Floral Green Milk Tea 30% Sweet with Oat Milk, and maybe because it's floral rice (?), or the fact I got oat milk, but the drink tasted like grains/very cereal-like. Sort of like the Japanese Buckwheat Milk Tea from Rabbit Rabbit in Valley Fair. Maybe that's just what it's supposed to taste like, but it's not my personal preference when I'm in a milk tea mood I believe they're more known for their matcha, and I do like that they have other unique options like Camellia Oolong Milk Tea, so I'm willing to give this place another try. However, I feel like this is more of a place you come to for just aesthetics. Once you got your photos, I don't see myself really coming back, especially with the over abundance of other milk tea spots in Bay Area read more

UG Tea - Interior aesthetic - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

A new tea place called UG Tea just opened up in Milpitas Square. The parking is terrible during lunch time, but better off hours or dinner time. The decor is sleek and interesting. A lot of photo opportunities. They even have a photo booth. They have a few cushioned benches for you to sit down. Otherwise, a couple of tables outside. Two kiosks and/or cashier to order from. The staff wear specific uniforms to showcase UG Tea. One unisex restroom only. I ordered the Rice Floral Green Milk Tea (+Tea jelly). The drink was creamy and a light floral flavor. Support your local business. read more

I had high hopes for this place as they have other locations as well, nice decor/aesthetics, a lot of green (matcha), and a cool photo booth. You can order from them or through the kiosk. Drinks I tried: matcha cookie smoothie (into matcha biscoff lately) and cloud matcha latte (I love cream pecan), but both drinks were ok. More on the milky side, not much matcha. Maybeeeee I would try dif drink in the future read more

After coming back from the SGV, they finally opened their first Bay Area location in Milpitas Square. I went to the grand opening for their BOGO Camellia Oolong Tea Latte or Next Level Matcha Latte promotion. I waited in line for almost 1.5 hours. While waiting for my order, I took the chance to try their green photo booth for free by following their IG and posting a story. The staff helped guide me when to start posing, but had to reboot the whole system, so I was patiently waiting inside a windowless green booth like a mental patient for five minutes. I was satisfied with the pictures, although I had less than 10 seconds to pose in front of the surveillance-style camera. The promo poster caused a bit of confusion, even among the previous customers ahead of me, because it looked like I could mix and match, but it turns out you have to either choose two Camillia Oolong Tea Latte or two Next Level Matcha Lattes to get half the price. I got the Camilla Oolong Tea Latte in oat milk, Matcha Cookie Smoothie, and Blueberry Blizzard Smoothie. I didn't like the popular Camilla Latte, which was a bit watered down and difficult to taste the oolong tea. It felt like I was drinking more oat milk, soaked with one tea bag. The Matcha Cookie Smoothie didn't have a strong matcha flavor, yet it was creamy with matcha whipped cream topped with a Biscoff cookie and chocolate chip sprinkles. The Blueberry Blizzard Smoothie was fun to drink, like it's your birthday. It was smooth to drink with the sweet blueberry puree and blue whipped cream sprinkled with edible white pearls. I really like the futuristic green decor, but there weren't many seats inside, and it was small. The staff were all friendly. My suggestion for the grand opening is to offer samples of their popular lattes to all customers waiting in line for over 30 minutes. The drinks were not as good as in SGV, despite the hype on social media. read more

Decently good, not great, and DEFINITELY not something I'd wait long for. My boyfriend and I tried 4 drinks. His favorites were the next level matcha latte and the matcha cookie smoothie, but my favorite was the mango rice floral fruit tea. The matchas are pretty light and on the grassier side, but I tend to prefer strong matchas with more nuttiness. The matcha cookie smoothie tasted quite bland, but once it begins to melt it tastes a lot better. The mango floral rice tea was super unique and tart. The jasmine milk tea tasted a bit watered down for my liking, with an interesting smoky after note. Interior looks super sleek, metallic, and futuristic. Definitely lures you in. I believe they also have a photo booth. Our four drinks took almost an hour because of how packed it was. I'd say to wait for the hype to come down before visiting. read more

UG Tea - Next Level Matcha Latte ($7.40), Mango Rice Floral Fruit Tea ($6.90), Matcha Cookie Smoothie ($7.40), 15 Jasmine Milk Tea ($6.40) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Another yummy matcha place! I ordered the 15 jasmine matcha cream latte. Tbh, it reminded me of the premium jasmine matcha from Molly Tea. I still loved it though! I did go a few days after the soft opening and it was a Sunday, so the wait was LONG! I'm talking about 1 hour long lol... Had I known the wait was going to be so long, I would've ordered multiple drinks. The drink was good, but I can't justify myself waiting for an hour again. Although they do have an app so if I am in the area again, I'll definitely be ordering ahead and making my way there as my last destination to pick up my drink! read more

UG Tea - 15 Jasmine matcha cream latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

I wanted to see how this location compared to the San Gabriel location and in all aspects it's severely disappointing. The business itself can't do anything if the actual physical location is too small. It's nowhere as decorative or impressive as the SGV location with the photo opportunities, decor and signage outside and seating in comparison. This place super pales and is so small and not as aesthetically pleasing in the Y2K millenial way. I saw that there was a line and decided to pre-order via Fantuan. They gave me a pick up time order window. We came slightly later than the estimated pick up time and then was told that it would at least take another hour. I ordered around 11 AM when they told us at around 2 PM that it would take another hour. Embarrassing, do better. ANOTHER WIN FOR SOCAL. read more

Visit details: Date and Time: Grand Opening, Saturday, 05/30/26, 8:30 to 10 pm Crowd: Queued At least 100 deep down the block Demographics 60% East Asian, 35% Southeast Asian, 5% Other Total wait time: A tad over an hour from lining up to receiving drinks The highly anticipated Milpitas branch of Unique Green Tea has finally opened its doors! As the fancier, more aesthetic version of ShareTea, UG aims to provide a fun, whimsical backdrop in which to imbibe its high quality drinks. As expected, on grand opening bogo day, an absolutely massive crowd was on hand! We all know how whenever there is a new business in the Bay Area with ties to SoCal, people will line up in droves! Overall, the wait actually wasn't bad. It was about an hour or so from the time I got in line until the drinks were ready. Since they had a bogo offer for two drinks only, Camellia Oolong MIlk Tea and Next Level Matcha Latte, those are the ones I tried. And wow, quite splendid! I had already sampled the Camellia in the San Gabriel location, and I was hoping this one would be just as good. Indeed it is! Service is also super friendly. The general manager is particularly nice, answering all of our questions, and guiding us along with all the promotional deals (free tote bags and photo booth). The design of the shop is best described as "retro futuristic," as much of the modern decor is infused with throwback elements, such as TV screens with intentional VHS-like blurriness and old fashioned fonts throughout. It's kind of like what someone in the 60s thought the "future" would look like. Unfortunately, this location is considerably smaller than the San Gabriel shop, so it doesn't quite have the same immersive experience, nor the space to hang out. It's not the type of place to chop it up with the homies, nor to sit down to do some homework. There simply isn't much room. Only time will tell how Unique Green Tea will fare in this extremely competitive plaza, against the likes of the OG Fantasia, Hey Tea, Ume, and many others I might have forgotten. However, with a proven track record, UG will most definitely will be a force to reckon with. The only question is if the lack of tables and seating capacity will be a major impact, since nifty looking retro futuristic design can only get one so far. The drinks do indeed speak for themselves though read more

Very aesthetic and pretty inside! Besides that, the drinks were a big disappointment. I ordered the Jasmine matcha and had high hopes. The flavor of Jasmine tea nor matcha was not there. There was a slight taste of Jasmine similar to Molly tea but it was so minimal. The drink tasted a lot like milk, the cream on top did not help either because it just added to the milk flavor. No matcha was found in any sip I had of the drink. Additionally, the wait was quite long when I went soft opening. My drink was sitting there for 5 minutes without being called. With so much competition for milk tea and matcha, I expected more. Especially with it being in the same plaza as hey tea and close to cere tea. It was bland in compare! read more

The Camellia Oolong Milk Tea is SO SCRUMPTIOUS! I need to come back and get this again. I loved how fragrant the tea was, so floral. The perfect milk-to-tea ratio!!! The interior is described as the "Gentle Monster of Milk Tea" and I can see why. It's so aesthetic and modern inside. Lots of photo opportunities and mirrored textures. The photobooth inside is really faulty and wouldn't let us print multiple copies for a $12 charge... but the high angle is cool! It's just nice to have a photobooth in this plaza now! The cashier I had was really nervous and got my order wrong originally.. he also did not know how to add my loyalty points properly, but they are still training due to soft opening! But they have a kiosk if you don't want to risk this... I'd also recommend downloading the app! read more

Closer to 3.5/5... I've been here twice since soft opening. Very cool interior/decor, dubbed the "gentle monster of boba". Lots of photo ops including a photo booth. Drinks: - Next level matcha latte: 5/5 this was surprisingly pretty good. It's not quite a good high quality matcha latte drink, but good in a different way. - Jasmine matcha cream latte: 3/5 this was just ok. wasn't bad, but not amazing either. It felt a bit bland, not much jasmine or matcha taste. - Jasmine milk tea: 1/5 I had high hopes for this since it was one of the recommended drinks, however I was so disappointed. It was extremely milky. Barely a hint of tea. I would much rather drink molly or heytea jasmine milk tea lol. - Mango rice floral tea: 3.5/5 we got this because it was so unique. It was pretty refreshing and interesting. However it was a bit watered down. Being in the bay, there is no shortage of places for boba. UG drinks fall short of expectations imo as none of their drinks really stand out. read more

UG Tea - Jasmine matcha cream latte and next level matcha latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Came for the Grand Opening so I got to try two options at a deal - Next Level Matcha Latte and Camellia Oolong Milk Tea. I don't find they particularly standout from other milk teas in the area so if you're looking for a steady option I think this would be good for something not too floral but good flavor. I found the 30 percent sweetness level to be most other shop's 50-70 percent. The inside is that futuristic green vibe. Workers were extremely friendly. Parking is in a busy plaza lot. There was outdoor seating that they hopefully keep. read more

3.5 star Just opened this weekend and we could find it on DoorDash already. I applaud their effort! It seems they were from LA and people raved about their Next Level Matcha Latte, so I ordered one. I didn't like that the ice level and size is locked, I wish I could try it with less ice as the flavor diluted half way through when the ice melted. The tea tasted creamy. I had it at 0% sugar but honestly felt a bit light and not with a deep thick matcha after taste that I prefer. For a medium size, the calories are well over 300 though! The menu seems interesting with other pure tea options, maybe next time I'll give those a try. read more

I've been waiting for UG to open for sooo long ever since it took over Yi Fang's spot in the plaza. I loove UG tea!! The osmanthus oolong is so flavorful and the matcha latte is also really good. I've had this place in Taiwan before and they are more known for their milk teas there so I'm surprised they're marketing for matcha here in the US. I highly recommend the oolong and jasmine milk teas! I also love the pure teas for a refreshing drink as well! Service is good and they are quick to hand out drinks! Staff is also friendly! I like how they decorated the store, its super sleek and futuristic looking read more

UG Tea - Interior - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Tried out UG Tea on their grand opening day and got their BOGO deal for the camellia oolong milk tea, with lychee jelly add on. The drink is good and has a nice strong floral taste, and the jelly is also flavorful. Got at the recommended 30% sweetness level which was good and not too sweet. It is a solid place but not top tier. Very nice interior design and ambiance. Line that went out the door past Siam station took 1hour to order, another 20 minutes to pickup the drink. Very busy but it is comparable wait time to Heytea with that kind of line. Would consider this place if the wait is minimal (dont know how busy it will be outside of soft/grand opening). read more

Drink 4/5 Came on their grand opening and they were offering BOGO on two drinks. The next level matcha latte tasted like an average matcha latte, it wasn't bad but also didn't taste exceptional. Camilia milk tea is very good and in my opinion tastes better than the Molly tea! It has a strong tea flavor. Both drinks I got were 30% sweetness and are on the sweeter. Service 4/5 They're busy on grand opening day. They had one cashier taking orders for bogo but also had one kiosk available for people who didn't want the bogo. The wait to order was a little over an hour and the drinks took about 30 minutes. Ambiance 5/5 This place definitely lives up to its name for being "unique". It gives off a gentle monster/teamlab planet vibe. There's a giant iPod nano mirror where you can take pictures and also a photo booth! read more

Super aesthetic spot - they say it's the gentle monster of tea My friend and I came on a weekday around 5 pm and luckily there was no wait. We originally heard that this was a matcha spot, however, after looking at the menu, it had only 4 matcha drinks and some milk teas and smoothies. I decided to go for the mango rice tea (10% sweet) and my friend chose the Camellia oolong milk tea (50% sweet). The milk tea had a floral taste and the mango tea had a nice rice note to it. In our opinions, the drinks didn't stand out very much and was just okay. I don't think I'll go out of my way to go here, but it's also not a spot I would be opposed to going if I had a friend who wanted to go! read more

Went during their soft opening, which gave $5 off any drink. At around 8pm on a Wednesday, the line to order was super short but the wait for the drinks was about 30 minutes. Photobooth is super cute! Got the next level matcha latte, which was super creamy and comes at a default of 30% sweet - I personally like my matcha to be a little stronger, but this was pretty reminiscent of the HeyTea matcha latte. I'll be back to try their other floral milk teas to see if they're a match for MollyTea. read more

UG Tea - Next level matcha latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

The interior of this place is seriously gorgeous. A lot of thought was put into the aesthetics and design of the store itself. They also added a photo booth too which is a special touch. The drinks also came out pretty fast even though the store itself was rather crowded (which shows how trendy this place was). I would say that the drinks were not as good as they looked. The matcha cloud was VERY sweet even though the flavor of the matcha itself was weak. The camelia espresso also did not leave a strong impression on me either. I would try this place out once just to try it but I probably would not go back. read more

The tea is surprisingly good! I thought this place might just be overhyped because of their decor, but their teas were legitimately very well balanced. Jasmine Milk Tea: 10/10 Pretty on par with molly tea actually! More milky than molly but the fragrance of the jasmine shines through. Mango rice tea: 10/10 Incredible! I was so happy to see this unique flavor here! Reminds me a bit of mango sticky rice dessert. The sweet mango balances with the earthy rice fragrance really well. Only criticism is to use fresher mangos. Floral tea jelly: 7/10 Solid unique jelly, but tbh the drinks are so good they don't need this jelly! The staff were super friendly and accommodating during their soft opening. They were a bit slow but that's super understandable given they just opened. I wish they had a trash can next to their straws though. read more

Saw this place on social media, and I had to check it out! My friend and I came during one of the soft opening days. It was pretty busy, but the line moved quickly and the workers were efficient despite how new the store was. We tried two of their most popular drinks: the Camellia Oolong Milk Tea and the Next Level Matcha Latte at their standard sugar and ice levels. Drinks: Unfortunately, I wasn't too impressed. The camellia oolong milk tea was too milky and creamy. I could barely taste the tea flavor. Tragic because I was so looking forward to this! The next level matcha latte was better; it was creamy, and the matcha flavor was more prominent. However, I feel like everyone does matcha these days, and this drink falls squarely in the "average" category for me. Service: Very friendly and very fast despite the crowd! Ambiance: Very "glitz and glam" inside. Photos all over of models advertising the brand like a luxury product (really innovative). I can see why people refer to it as the Gentle Monster version of milk tea. Super pretty and aesthetic inside. There's a photo booth too! Parking: Big lot. Not hard on a weekday night. Be wary if it's a Friday night or weekend though. Upon further sleuthing on its website, I discovered that it is a new, premium tea brand created by the Sharetea group. Overall, I really enjoyed the vibe and friendly service. However, I wasn't super impressed with the drinks themselves :( maybe I'll give it another try, but it's hard to justify coming back when there are better premium milk tea shops elsewhere. read more

Looking for a new boba spot with tea that tastes clean? This place is for you! As soon as you step in, it has that Gentle Monster - cool silver vibe. Lots of spaces for photo ops! Workers are really nice and love that the place is fairly clean. They're known for their Camellia Oolong Milk Tea and Next Level Matcha Milk Tea. The Camellia Oolong Milk Tea (4/5) is more of a floral tea. If you like Molly Tea, this is a similar drink. The Next Level Matcha (5/5) has a great creamy yet slightly salted cheesy flavor to it. I like the unique flavor and it's not too sweet! I rarely get matcha from stores but would buy this again! read more

Final Thoughts: 3.00/5 New drink spot in the Milpitas area. My friends and I planned to go eat around here and then we went to try the drinks afterwards. Looking at the yelp reviews and pictures, I was a little skeptical of the matcha given the color of it being not as vibrant or deep. Unfortunately, speculations were correct because the drinks are overall, just ok. Will be a 3 star for me today. Drinks: Next Level Matcha Latte: 3.0/5 Per their description on Door Dash, this is their strong matcha latte with a creamy blend, finished with light cheese and a savory touch. This was my drink because I really needed to review their matcha drinks. If I had to describe this drink, it would be sweetened milk with a pinch of salt. The salted cream was alright. This is just a preference because I'm not particularly fond of the salted cheese topping to begin with. It is creamy and slightly salted, which is alright. Texture was fine and it actually mixed really well with the drink. Not too prominent and doesn't contribute too much after it's been mixed. For the drink base itself, it's mostly milk and really just tastes like the milk. My milk of choice today was their "UG Special Milk". Not sure if that makes the taste different...??? I digress. I was already a little concerned with the size of the cup and color of it. The size is 16 ounces, so they would have to put more of the matcha for it to actually have that strong taste of matcha. My initial impression was that the matcha would be diluted given the color. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case here. Very light and milky. Mango Rice Floral Fruit Tea with Floral Tea Jelly: 4.0/5 This was my friend's drink and I tried it for review purposes. Per Door Dash description of this drink, this is their tropical mango tea layered with toasted rice noted and a smooth pandan finish. Pandan and mango combined gives an interesting flavo. Pandan is quite light and I almost didn't get it. This drink is super refreshing and my preferred drink of choice of the two bought though. Flavor is very light overall. Tea flavor is present. My personal favorite was the slight floral hints in this drink. The mango is also present in the drink and tasted really nice. The jelly also adds a nice component to the drink. This would be a good option for a really hot day because of how refreshing it is. Sweetness was good for me, as well. Wait Time: Longer than Expected Their wait time appears to be slightly longer than usual. Something to note is that they do have online orders, as well. This will definitely add to the list without you directly seeing it. For us, it took around 30 minutes for us to get our drinks. --------- Quality: Aiight Their matcha seems fine and does have that bright color from it. Seems to just be quantity wise of how many grams of matcha is added to it. Items are all made to order it seems. Not sure if they whisk the matcha to order either because our wait was quite a while. Price: Average Priced The prices here seem to be of normal price. Range is between $5 to $8 depending on what you get. Of note, there is no upcharge for the milk alternative, which I love. For the toppings though, they do have an upcharge of $0.50. Service: No significant interactions We really didn't interact with them at all besides to get our drink. Ordering is done on two kiosks standing at the front of the shop. Once you order, there is a screen at the top where you can monitor the status of your drink. Once your drink is done, you can get it at the front from one of the workers after showing them your order number. Very typical process like other shops where they line up the drinks together and hand it to you upon confirmation. Ambiance: White and Green Theme Interior is nice and bright. Seems very modern from what I saw online. It's giving a mix of a few other matcha shops that I know. HeyTea, Naisnow, and Taning to name a few. Not too much of a sitting space indoors, but there is space outside to stand and sit. The interior color theme is a white and matcha green, which is nice. Appears to be a nice spot for some pictures while you wait, as well. Location/Parking: Spacious and large This place is located is Milpitas Square. There are quite a few restaurants and shops here. There is also a 99 Ranch Market here, so parking is really not an issue at all. I've been there a few times to eat and drink at the other places around here. We've never really had a concern with finding parking. Perhaps just depending on how far you would like to walk, but honestly, it's never been a concern given how spacious this parking area is. read more

There seems to be an abundant of matcha tea shops and UG Tea is another newcomer on the block specialize in matcha latte/ milk tea located in a busy Milpitas Square.

I visited UG Tea for the first time and really enjoyed their matcha drink! The space is open and brightly light, it feels like an upscale/futuristic matcha shop - cool place to take pictures! I ordered the Next Level Matcha Latte - Medium size, with 30% sugar, regular ice, with the UG special milk. The Matcha Latte was truly light and delicious - the matcha flavor was prominent, with the right amount of sweetness. It was really refreshing on a hot day! The drink was a little over $8. The staff were welcoming and worked pretty fast. The venue was very busy and finding parking can take a bit. Absolutely worth checking out! read more

Went during their grand opening and had their Camelia Oolong Milk Tea and Next Level Matcha. Both were ok! I found the oolong could've been more intense in tea and floral flavor. The first time I had it was watery. Though the second time was better, it was still lacking in intensity. Their fruity drinks are good though! I really enjoyed their peach drink with peach bits. Yummy and refreshing. The matcha was just okay if you don't like your matcha very strong. It's on the milkier side, but otherwise was a fine drink. Overall, it's just ok. The competition is stiff in this plaza! I wouldn't revisit unless there was a promotion. read more

Came here on Saturday June 5th at 2:30PM. Took a bit to get to the ordering kiosk but it wasn't bad. What was bad, however, was how long it took to get our drinks. 1 hour! Honestly, it took a lot of effort to get the drinks (this parking lot is really awful to park in), the wait was bad, but when I took a sip of our drinks, it was worth it. I mean, I wouldn't come back when its busy, but I'm glad I got to try it. My group ordered: - CAMILLA OOLONG MILK TEA (30% sugar)- unexpectedly good. Would get again. A nice floral to balance out the black tea. - NEXT LEVEL MATCHA LATTE (10% sugar) - tastes like matcha, but my cousins liked it. - JASMINE MATCHA CREAM LATTE (10% sugar) - very good, creamy. 10% seems to the the spot. I think I would get this one. read more

came here cause I saw the hype on tiktok. safe to say it's overhyped. i ordered online and it took about 25 minutes which wasn't too bad. the inside of the store is aesthetic but small. they don't really have any seating inside. I wish they would let us do adjustments like light ice. the next level matcha was good, the matcha isn't that strong. i got the cloud matcha and it kinda reminded me of watered down matcha. the cookie matcha is on the sweeter side, couldn't really taste the matcha. there are definitely other matcha places better than here. i got matchatown the day after and the difference in matcha quality was night and day. jf you want to visit and try it out, i recommend trying the next level matcha since it's has the strongest matcha taste outta everything else. read more

UG Tea - Next Level Matcha, Matcha Cloud, Cookie Matcha Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

This is new tea shop from Taiwan that just opened in the Bay Area. I went during the soft opening and the line was about 30 minutes on a weekday. The employees worked quickly though. The interior is VERY MODERN and filled with different things to look at and even do, such as the photobooth corner. It does cost money to use it however. They set the standard sweetness at 30% which is interesting, much lower than standard stores in the area. I got 2 drinks during this visit: - Matcha cloud (6/10): a matcha latte topped with a matcha cream -- the cream was yummy however the matcha latte itself was watered down and was lacking in matcha flavor. Strangely the 30% sweetness for this drink was EXTREMELY SWEET, it tasted like 100% in my opinion. Unfortunately I don't think I would get this again :/ - Camellia espresso (6/10): this was a tea and espresso combination but the tea aroma was also lacking I had high hopes for the drinks but was disappointed. Glad I gave this place a try, it's definitely one of the most unique stores I've been in and looking around was definitely an experience in itself!! read more

TLDR: Really Nice Floral Peach Tea. This place just opened up this week. As with all Soft Openings, I'm not going to rate their service, as I'm sure they're going through growing pains, as well as unusually large crowds. I just wanted to note that it took me almost an hour to get my tea. I went in and ordered around 12:45pm, and got my tea at 1:45pm. I hope their service will improve later on. As for the drink itself, I ordered the Peach Camellia Fruit Tea, with 0 sugar and 0 ice. I sure hope it's REALLY made with 0 sugar, because the tea itself is sweet. I like the sweetness a lot, as it makes it go down easier, but it's hard for me to tell whether they really didn't add any sugar or they accidentally did so (again because of the soft opening/training). Only way to tell will be with repeated visits to see if the tea has changed. As of now, it's sweet, even with 0 sugar, and it was quite delicious and easy to down! I really liked the jelly too... adds some texture. But what truly makes this tea different is the nice floral hint in the tea. I really enjoyed that a lot! My wife also enjoyed her jasmine milk tea, with 0 sugar and 0 ice. She didn't comment on the sugar, so maybe they got that order right. She liked the creaminess of the milk. All in all, a great 4 star place, and one we will have to try again! Once the crowds die down. (An hour is WAYY too long a wait for ANY tea!) read more

Was super excited to see the storefront of UG a couple months back. We had just discovered this chain during our last trip to Taiwan. The soft opening did not disappoint. They were decently busy, but the staff were all super friendly and helpful. They were promoting their camellia oolong milk tea. It was refreshingly unique, though slightly more watered down than I liked. The matcha latte was a pretty great drink as well. Make sure to download their app to join their rewards program right off the bat, and to order online for pickup. I'll be back! read more

UG Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Saw this place on Instagram, looks cool inside. Ordered Next Level Matcha Latte - Nothing special. Not worth coming back for at least. Blueberry Blizzard Smoothie - Not something I'd usually order. I saw someone on IG say the Blackberry drink was good, I imagine they meant this. I got 50% sweet which is recommended, but it was still too sweet for me. I see the menu lists that this drink has ~100g sugar... hopefully that's at 100% sweet, not the default 50% lol. Thick and creamy like a shake. The blueberry puree is sweet and chewy, almost mochi like. It's good, but way too sweet, almost like Cotton Candy. It's okay. We waited 30 minutes even though it didn't look too busy inside. They probably had a bunch of people ordering online. Might come back but not something I'll be running back to. read more

UG Tea is a popular tea brand from Taiwan, and I'd tried it a few times there before, so I was excited for the opening here. The aesthetics are a bit different in the States since the stores feel more immersive rather than just a simple grab and go tea shop. I recommend the Camellia Oolong Tea at 30% sweetness. The floral notes and tea flavor come through nicely. The only downside is that the space is pretty small, otherwise it would make a great hangout spot. read more

I visited UG Tea on the second day of opening. My first impressions was how the decorations looked straight out of Gentle Monster. The menu itself to me seemed slightly overwhelming since everything looked too fancy, but I decided to order the - Osmanthus Oolong milk tea. In all honesty, I love the branding and the aesthetic this place had but their milk tea was a 7/10 best. It was good but not special and since this place is starting to gain traction, I wouldn't recommend it since you'd be stuck waiting around an hour. The service is the reason why this isn't a 3 star review. Funny thing is that this store wasn't even listed yet on DoorDash so when I ordered it through DoorDash, it redirected to the location in LA. I was able to cancel the order but the manager was extremely helpful in getting a refund. 10/10 customer service. read more
