    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!

    The place is adorable! The Crème Brûlée Thai Tea was so good I went back for seconds!!

    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.

    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.

    Coconut C [UMe] Coconut Cha Cha Bowl 泡鲁达
    Xinying W.

    I'm giving this a really bad review! I bought the Coconut Cha Cha Bow because of its bamboo basket and frangipani decoration, which is why I decided to come and buy it myself. However, when I picked up my drink, there was no basket or decoration. The reason given was that it was sold out. I'm extremely dissatisfied because this is tantamount to deceiving a customer; the price I paid included the entire product. They can't run a business by being so stingy with customer experience. This shopping experience was terrible! I will never come here again. Luckily, I didn't participate in their promotion of buying a $100 gift card and getting a $50 bonus! Otherwise, I would have been a complete rip-off!

    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.

    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!

    Popcorn chicken

    ​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!

    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.

    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.

    The plushies are gone ):

    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.

    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. You order through a kiosk and they call your number when it's ready. The boba shop is cute and screams pink aesthetics lol. Definitely worth checking it out!

    [UMe]Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Black Milk Tea
    Shao X.

    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.

    Are there still long lines to get in on the weekend?

    Nope! Just went on a Saturday afternoon. Waited behind one party and got my drink within 10 minutes for sure. The longest wait is when people are deciding what they want on the kiosk ordering

    Is the bunny surprise cup back to stock yet?

    Yes. Just went there yesterday and they had plenty.

Mochi donuts are honestly one of my favorite things to pair with a drink, and these definitely didn't disappoint. For drinks, we ordered the chizu pink peregrine tea, which was so good. Light, refreshing, and the creamy cheese foam on top added that perfect little extra flavor that makes it feel more special than a regular tea.

Something was lacking though, couldn't put my finger on it. I think that I'm used to stronger lattes, maybe. Got some reading done. Steady stream of customers during my time there. Background music was Olivia Rodrigo and BTS. Will be back to try the Vietnamese coffee. They have $1 mochi donuts on Tuesday with any drink purchase.

    Sunday, 8/30/2026 - we checked out Aimee's Boba Cafe at 7238 Franklin Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95823…read more Parking was a little hard for us. But nice large parking lot. The inside was small but cute. A few tables to sit at. They had snacks you can order to enjoy. Finger foods. A nice selection of drinks to order from too. You just order at the kiosk they have at the front desk and use your card. There is only 1. Then they make your order and bring it to the front counter. My little one got the taro drink. She didn't like it. I thought it tasted fine. I got the egg coffee. It was good. But boy do I miss the one i got in Vietnam! I won't go into the details on that one.

    I've went to this place for a couple years already (even before they remodeled) and honestly the…read moredrinks and food aren't bad at all! I've tried their other drinks but I don't have pictures for them so I'll just review what I got recently. Purple Crush - 8.4/10 I honestly really like this drink since it tastes like taro/ube and it has Oreos in it which gives a nice chocolate-ly flavor to it. I also added boba in it which definitely gave a nice texture to the drink as well. It's pretty thick like a slushie/milkshake but regardless I highly recommend this drink if you're into taro and cookies and cream!! Although this drink is quite sweet even when you get it less than 100% sweet. Black Sesame Coffee - 7.5/10 I just tried this drink today and it's pretty yummy but all of the black sesame seeds sink in the bottom so I had to stir it every time before drinking it. I got 50% sweet with less ice and it just tastes like regular Vietnamese coffee with a hint of black sesame and it's honestly not that bad. Although I'm not sure if I will get this drink again though. It wasn't too sweet and I like that you can really taste the coffee. Popcorn Chicken - 7.8/10 I always get their popcorn chicken since that's what I mainly like to get from boba shops and I like that they have different spice levels like from no spicy to extra hot. I would either get mild or medium but I've recently got medium and I like that it has a kick in it. The ranch pairs well with the chicken and although it's not super crispy, it has a good amount of batter to chicken ratio. Overall, I recommend that you order ahead of time and I used DoorDash to order my stuff from the second pic since I usually wait like 30 minutes to get my drinks and food which was kind of annoying. Even when there's little to no customers, their service is usually pretty slow which I hope that they can improve on that. Also, there's a kiosk where you can order on the screen. I feel like their customer service does need some improvement though since they don't really interact with the customers unless you talk to them. However, the place looks really clean and aesthetic so it's a great spot to just chill while sipping on some boba.

My favorites things about this place is they serve tasty drinks, has a lovely relaxing ambience & is group & date friendly.

Kids love their popcorn chicken and fries 4.5/5 stars (I like to wish I can eat their Viet taro rice cake, hash brown nuggies & beef balls. ). A few things I've love about T% on Big Horn.. The ambience is so comfortable & relaxing. The lights are soft & pacifying, the acoustics are not super loud for my aging ears, even when it's packed with people. I love how conducive it is to conversation when im on dates or when I'm on 1-1 meetings or even with a group of 6 people. The chairs are padded, comfortable for my aging bones. Seating is from 2-6 seats. In the colder months there's heaters & chairs outside which is nice aesthetically, ambiencey & for that patio like feel. I love that they open relatively later than usual and most boba spots (10am-10pm, Mon-Sun). I can usually modify my drinks to low or no sugar, light ice, and modify my milks because I'm a modifying my drink type of gal. One super cute thing I love about T% is that will decorate for most holidays. I love the decor for Christmas which includes a huge tree, for Valentines a giant bear & heart & an interesting looking telephone, for Chinese New Year some dragon decor. The service is awesome. They answer all my questions, and even help me when I can't find stuff on their self order kiosk, which is also convenient to get my order in. The manager lady is sweet, has adorable style & she works alot, maybe that's why the spot is running so efficiently & smooth. I haven't had a go-to boba place in the past ever, but since the beginning of the year I have one now. Love me some T%! I'd like to try the other location on EG Florin sometime too. Highly suggest!
