Was shopping at 99 Ranch and wanted some milk tea so I decided to try this place out. When walking in, I was surprised to see how open the space was. I ordered the Boba Milk Tea with no Boba, 50% sweetness, and no ice. The drink came out within a few minutes. When I tried the drink it tasted great. I came back today and the service and drink were consistent. I will definitely be back when in the area to try different drinks. I would recommend this place when in the area! Hopefully that this place would place. read more

Ok I've been going to UME Tea for like 2 years and there's some things that this place needs to improve on: their service and accurately getting their orders right. On July 19th, me and friend went there to get a drink which was the Jasmine Pistachio Delight and it tasted very floral and wasn't too sweet, also the pistachio form gave a nutty taste that I liked. However, the guy who served my drink there was VERY rude to us. He had a horrible attitude and I'm not sure what led to the worker behaving that way but I genuinely felt uncomfortable. Then today on July 30th, I went again to get popcorn chicken and the same drink that I mentioned above around 12pm. So my total costed $17.42 but when I received my order, they instead gave me the popcorn chicken and fries combo. The popcorn chicken costed $9.95 while with the combo only costed $8.95. It may not seem that much of a difference but I almost paid $20 for getting one drink and a snack so I expected that they would exactly give me the items that I ordered. I supported UME Tea since their grand opening but I don't know how I feel about coming back to this place and continuing to order my drinks from there. Their customer service has worsen over the years and I really do hope that they can improve on training their workers. read more

This is my 2nd time here and I love their popcorn chicken and green tea that doesn't give me a headache (I get migraines from too much caffeine). I appreciate how their fruit teas are not super sweet and aren't mixed in with artificially tasting syrups! They have just the right amount of seating and when we went, UME was alive with people having fun and the music made the ambiance even better! I was impressed by how many people were picking up to-go orders too. The only reason I gave 4 out of 5 stars is because our numbers weren't called and we needed to ask if our orders were ready, as we sat down and waited for our orders, and it wasn't until then that the staff looked at the order tickets on the counter and realized our popcorn chicken was ready and already bagged up on the counter. Next time I want to try their other snack items that look delicious! read more

I've been back many more times since my first initial visit. I love their BOGO deals and have tried a variety of their drinks. I enjoyed most of what I've tried. There are two kiosks for you to order from. There are a few tables inside for you to wait or for you to enjoy your order. Drinks usually come out pretty quickly. The store could be a bit cleaner, but I usually take my drinks to go. I look forward to see what else they have to offer in the future! read more

I've been to Ume Tea at another location before and love their tea jelly. It's hard to find anywhere else. This location delivered the same great taste, which shows their consistency in flavor and quality across stores. Highly recommend! The price is very affordable (mine was under $6), and even though I didn't interact with the staff, the service was quick. The place is clean and cutely decorated. read more

Walk in, order from the kiosk, and wait for your order from the pick up window. I got a large warm oolong milk tea with boba. To my surprise, in celebration of Lunar New Year, I also got a red envelope with a coupon and some stickers. I kind of wish the cup was all plastic so I could reuse it bc it was so pretty in red. read more

​Warning: Undercooked chicken! Extremely disappointed with my experience today. The chicken I received was still pink and raw inside, making it completely inedible. Serving undercooked poultry like this is careless and a serious food safety concern. I hope the shop reviews its kitchen protocols immediately! read more

UME Tea is a cute boba shop and has great drinks! I have been here a few times and I always get something new, which is not typical of me at a boba store. I do it because I have multiple drinks I'm interested in trying and they have so many great options. So far I have had some of their milk teas, fruit teas, and non caffeinated drinks. The interior is adorable and offer aesthetic backgrounds for pictures. There is a big keychain plushie wall and I collected a few of them from their surprise cups! Service is nice and drinks are made fast. They do not have much seating inside, only a few tables and chairs. read more

Overall not impressed. All the hype got my hopes up. The drink was okay but overall $28 for 3 items is quite steep. The popcorn chicken & calamari were okay. The seasonings were strong so it was quite flavorful if you got the snacks with the different spice levels. Service was very friendly and fast. They have a cashier but also 2 self order kiosks. Inside was cute with a plushie wall for pictures. Several tables for sitting. read more

Delicious, cute, and healthier than the average boba because it's a more nutritious. Love the coconut and taro balls. I wish there were more nutritious drinks like this. The texture is nice and smooth. read more

I stopped by the Sacramento Ume Tea location shortly after landing at the airport--it was the perfect first stop after a long flight! The shop was clean, bright, and the staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They made our drinks just the way we like them, and of course, I had to upgrade to the bunny surprise cup. It's one of my favorite things about Ume Tea! My family and I love visiting Ume Tea whenever there's one nearby, and this location lived up to our expectations. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in town! read more

I find that most places that sell popcorn chicken with a "spicy" option is not actually spicy. I am pleasantly surprised to find that the UME Tea here is true to their word and is actually pretty spicy! It's crispy and has a good amount of meat, unlike places that have bad ratios and are mostly batter or fat. The portions are pretty good as well. It stays crispy even after it gets cold (as long as you don't cover it up when it's still hot or steaming). The flavor is delicious and is even spicier when the food is hot. It actually makes me sweat and this is coming from a spicy food fan. I hope their spice level never changes. It is so hard to find a satisfying spicy popcorn chicken. UME Tea will definitely be my go to for popcorn chicken in Sacramento. Beware, it may be too spicy for people who cannot tolerate too much spice, but I am sure they can accommodate and put less spice if it is requested. However, I am sure their regular popcorn chicken is delicious too! I think they also offer other flavors as well, but I have not yet tried any others -- I am too hooked on to their spicy popcorn chicken! I also enjoy their drinks! They were quite refreshing and nice. I opt for the fruity teas or blended drinks to complement my spicy snack. I have also tried their Blossom Latte which was good as well! The shop is really cute and small. Service has always been quick when I visited, but it may be because I tend to go during their less busy hours. read more

Came to try their newish item, the Dubai chocolate shake. It was okay to me, I'd give it a 2/5 :( Along with the pistachio shake, it has some chocolate syrup, kadaifi, and fresh chopped pistachios. The shake... didn't really taste like anything. Idk how to explain it but it didn't taste like pistachio at all, nor did it taste like milk, heavy cream, or even vanilla or pistachio icecream (assuming that's what they use to make the shake). The only time I tasted pistachio was when I mixed the drink and some of the fresh chopped pistachio went up the straw. If I come back, I'll stick to the usual milk tea with red beans and mochi toppings. read more

Finally got to try this place around the holiday season and they did not disappoint. We ordered an Oreo cream shake and a matcha drink and they were actually very good.

I really like this boba shop and usually have great experiences here. My go-to drink is the Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Black Milk, the mochi is amazing, and service is normally good. This visit was disappointing. They had a promo where spending $25 gets you a free tote bag, and my sister and I intentionally spent over $25 to get it. After paying, we were told they were completely out of tote bags. There was no sign posted letting customers know this ahead of time. I waited about 15 minutes at the register to ask if I could take one of the display bags since I'm out of town. When a worker finally helped me, she agreed but seemed visibly upset and rushed, which made the interaction uncomfortable. I'll still come back for the drinks, but clearer communication about promos and better customer service would really improve the experience. read more

I got a text about the fried octopus coming back and advertised it so many times in GB &IG . But when ordering it online , it was already sold out and store hasn't even open yet.I thought it was kinda odd it will be sold out that fast. It should have be ready and be in stock , if advertising and text us about it. Anyway, it was overcooked as not as crunchy and fresh as I expected. The first time i had it was in Fremont location and it was fresh and super crunchy. read more

So PINK and cute! The drink is okay but the Bunny Surprised Cup is fun to play (blind box style)... The free carry tray-- the design is not for carrying your drink but definitely a cute decoration!!! I give 4 stars as I didn't try their food. read more

First time here. Did a door dash pick up for milk tea for the kiddo and I. Cute little decors. It was clean. Service was good. Drinks were ready when we arrived. Loved the carry out bag for the drinks. It was not a typical dingy plastic bag. Overall, drinks were yummy and the boba were soft. This might just be a new place for boba run for us. Will definitely come back to try other drinks. read more

With the weather starting to (ever so) slowly warm up, save for the always needed spurts of rain here and there, it's actually reminded me that I never got around to writing my review for UME Tea! Now, just to be clear, I'm under no illusion that this is actually one of the best boba shops in Sacramento, let alone in general. However, on such a hot day, our drinks certainly tasted like the best thing on Earth! Considering how their space isn't all that large, it's rather impressive that they managed to squeeze in a handful of tables while still maintaining enough space for folks to wait for their drinks to be made. Pretty much the entire place was filled with families and kids, which kind of fits their family friendly vibe and pink on pink decor. As for the menu, it initially looked pretty typical, with its range of milk teas, slushies, tea, and snacks, but several of their individual offerings are surprisingly unique - Mango Pomelo Sage, Thai Tea with Creme Brulee, Taro Milk Tea with Coconut Pudding, etc. However, none of them stood out to me as much as their STRAWBERRY MATCHA MILK TEA WITH MATCHA ICE CREAM ($5.95). As soon as it came out, I was so excited to take the first sip. Even though it had quite a bit more milk than I would've preferred, this was great! Everything complemented each other really well and I liked how the strawberries weren't super syrupy or sweet. However, the highlight of the drink was clearly the matcha and the scoop of matcha ice cream. In particular, the latter not only reinforce the flavor, but it helped to keep the drink cold and added a slight creaminess as it melted. Despite how much I enjoyed my drink, I have to admit that, in hindsight, my experience with UME Tea is probably closer to four stars than five. Objectively, they're not as good as some of my legit favorites out there, but I'd be lying if I said my drink wasn't a deliciously cold treat. At the very least, it's one of the better ones I've had around Sacramento. And for that reason, especially with those hot summer days looming, that is more than enough of a reason to come back for more! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up. read more

We tried the mango coconut twilight and the yumberry jelly slushee. The drinks were not good. They put marshmallows instead of mochi in the twilight drink and the coconut was slimy and very large chunks. The mango was the only good part. The slushee didn't have any slush to it and didn't have good flavor. read more

My friend highly recommended a drink here so I decided to stop by one day. This is a cute boba shop in the same plaza as 99 Ranch. Ordering is through the kiosk. There is only one kiosk though.

I like to come here after I shop at 99 Ranch. I usually just place my order online as I'm shopping for groceries and once I'm finished I'll just walk across to UME to pick up my drinks. Interior is a bit small but lots of cute decorations and a few tables. I'm not sure if they have anyone who takes order but did notice they have a kiosk to place your order but definitely just recommend ordering online to avoid waiting in line. Btw parking can be a little chaotic but you'll find a parking space somewhere. Some drinks is recommend are the Lychee & Watermelon Green Tea and Strawberry Matcha Latte. You can pay about $3 - $4 extra for the surprise cup and get a random fun small plushie. read more

Came here around 3pm on a Saturday. The front area is the pick up station and the ordering kiosk is in the back. They also seem to have a regular cash register in the back as well but were probably too busy and kept it as kiosk-only ordering while I was there. There was only one kiosk so a line forms rather quickly when you're trying to scroll through all the options. Maybe a search bar type of function would help? I saw someone had posted they got a Jasmine Milk tea which is my go-to drink. However they only had plain jasmine tea on the kiosk menu. I figured I would try to order that and there would be an option for different milk options for those who can't have dairy but there wasn't. I instead wrote a note to please turn it into a milk tea by adding milk. When our order was ready, they did pay attention to the note and added the milk, which I appreciated! Also got their popcorn chicken and it was piping hot, so it's great that they're made to order! I wish there was more seating. They only have about 4 small tables that have two chairs each. read more

I popped into this location since it was conveniently located near 99 Ranch. The drink was a bit sweet for my taste. I would have liked to be able to adjust the sweetness like the LA location but it was fixed, The tea flavor wasn't as strong and boba wasn't that soft. The mochi was phenomenal though and the best part about the drink. Tons of parking available in the lot. read more
