I LOVE UME TEA. I know there's one in SoCal, but it's really out of the way for me, so whenever I'm in NorCal, it's a MUST stop for me. Super cute and I love that the menu has a wide variety of fruit teas and milk teas, as well as SNACKS. Not many boba places do that any more (especially for the franchises in SoCal), so huge W for me. You can order ahead of time to pick up or you can order from their kiosk screen. They'll text you when the order is done. Definitely worth signing up for their points rewards systems especially since there are so many Ume Teas in NorCal and I believe they carry over to each one. I got their Crème Brûlée Thai Tea since it's a nice sweet dessert drink and I wanted something along the sort after having a very savory dinner. Also wanted our friend to try a bit since he has never really had milk tea before and doesn't like tea in general. He did enjoy this drink and said it was like a cake in a cup. So true! It's a simple Thai tea that's sweetened by the creme brulee cream smeared on the sides of the cup inside. Just mix it up well and it's a yummy dessert drink. My boyfriend got a 0% sweet milk tea and enjoyed it. I also got a fragrance ornament (you drop the scent oil on top and you can get it in 2 scents, I got the pear one) and a cute bunny plushie clip/drink holder and surprisingly it was only $4. I've seen boba places charge more for their merch. Really love how Ume has a lot of merch that's unique and affordable, ranging from stickers, plushies, tumblers, collab items, and much more. There's photo ops here. Though the bunny is a bit scuffed and dirty (wish it was a bit cleaner, would have been perfect for photos). Solid Ume Tea location. read more

5/5 their teas are amazing and very flavorful. 3/5 bc they are incredibly slow and usually mess up orders. Don't come here if you're trying to be quick. Order online ahead to avoid waiting as long be sure you check your order before you leave. They always forget to add the extra boba I add. read more

A friend and I were going to met at another Boba place but there was no sitting. So walked down a few doors to this pleasant surprise. I got the coco mango. It was really good. It was like a mango slushie with coconut. Service was okay. Cute if you like taking selfies. read more

Order #41264 on 3/4/2026 My drink order was a rice mochi black milk tea with oats popping boba and a tanghulu yogurt slushie. My snack order was the plum popcorn chicken. The problem is that they messed up both our drinks but we didn't find out till we came home. The rice mochi black milk tea itself is correct but instead of oats popping boba, I got mango popping boba. I'm allergic to mango and cannot drink it. The tanghulu slushie does not usually have oats popping boba but it was included. The drink did include the haw flake type topping and the plum pieces that's supposed to come with the drink but didn't have the paste. The drink is noticeably white rather than the pink it's supposed to be. They also gave us a round cup rather than the rectangular but that may just be an inventory issue. I also don't know if their chicken supplier also changed their chicken source but it was extremely gristley and stringy compared to usual. Perhaps it was an off day or new employees but really, a bad experience. Could this be a sign of quality decline? Either way, it's really frustrating that I paid money for this. read more

I like that this location is rarely busy when I stop by, so I can grab my drink pretty quickly. I usually order the taro milk with mochi or the taro milk tea with mochi, depending on whether I want caffeine or not. They're always consistent with how they make the drinks, which is why it's never a miss for me. read more

I stopped my UME tea after lunch today. It was my first time ordering from here. It's so pink inside. When you walk in, the pink just hits you lol . It's really cute that they have a bunny for their store logo. You place your order at the kiosk. I love fruit tea, so I checked to see what they offered for that. I chose the passion fruit & watermelon green tea with 30% sweetness and less ice. It took about 5 minutes for my order to be ready. They get a lot of online orders. So there wasn't anyone else inside at the time I was there, but they were busy in the back getting orders ready. My tea was very delicious and refreshing. They use fresh fruit to make their teas. I immediately tasted the watermelon right away. There were even little pieces of fresh watermelon inside. I didn't taste the passion fruit. That might be because I asked them not to add the passion fruit seeds. I still loved my tea, and I would order it again in the future. read more

It's in a convenient location with plenty of parking and the drinks are usually pretty solid. Like other reviews have said the service can be sooooo slooooowwwww. I have waited up to 15-20 minutes for my drink. More than once, when I go to retrieve my order at least one or two drinks were covered in syrup or milk and I had to ask for a new cup. This place is just okay. read more

Not entirely sure what it is but I feel like Ume Tea often satisfies my quench. Can also be possible dehydration? Could it be that I don't drink enough liquids everyday? Probably I digress every time I get a fruit tea with or something delicious I'm always refreshed! I'm particularly overly fond of their popcorn chicken as well very crispy very tender and juicy. read more

Had a great time drinking here with friends around 8 pm! It wasn't busy when we arrived but we brought in a rush of people. It's a cute interior with lots of pink, bunnies, and softness. We ordered through the self serve kiosk or you could order through a live person at the register. They have regular table seatings for 1:1 or small groups of 3-4. Our drinks came in around 7-10 minutes after ordering. I ordered the mango melon breeze! Super refreshing, not too sweet, and delicious. Would come here again! read more

Glad for an Ume Tea in the neighborhood. Had only been once and got the passion fruit tea that comes with boba and lychee jelly. I would've loved it if it didn't have slices of lime in it. It threw me off and too strong on the lime flavor. There's about 4 tables inside and no bathroom. read more

Service is quick, and easy with the pick up station they have. You can order online for pickup or at their ipad station. They have one of my favorite popcorn chicken of the bay area. My favorite drinks are pistachio cloud, watermelon lychee, and mango sago. It's a bit quiet here though, they don't have any music. read more

I needed a little something after a gym session, so I came to this Ume Tea location. I was surprised that the rewards system didn't have plush dolls to redeem anymore, but I was able to redeem a free snack. After looking through the menu, I decided to go with popcorn the chicken/fries combo snack and the brown sugar mochi milk tea. I wanted my popcorn chicken extra spicy, so the crew gave me a container of spicy powder to take home. The popcorn chicken was good - crispy, warm and tender on the inside. I put a lot of powder on it, but I think it needed some salt to bring out the flavor more. The fries were decent - it needed salt as well, but was cooked nicely. The brown sugar mochi drink was good - I went for the bunny surprise cup and got a whale, lol. Overall, I liked the mochi in the drink and thought it was a good amount of sweetness at 50%. The shop has a good amount of spacing, and on a Thursday mid afternoon - plenty of room to hang out and enjoy your tea/snacks. read more

Went here after dinner for a sweet treat! Ordered ahead with DoorDash and there was a small discount which was nice. I ordered the mango coconut twilight because it was non caffeinated, vegan, and had mochi! The mochi was delicious, the drink itself was a bit icy for me. Besides that inside it was cute and very pink, and service was fast. read more

3 stars not because the drinks aren't good . Drinks are good !! 3 stars because whenever I deliver for Uber Eats from here, the packaging is TERRIBLE- who specializes in drinks and simply puts them into bags with no cup carriers inside???? And these reviews about friendly staff- you must have gotten nice people that day because every time I go in it's the opposite Zero greeting Nothing memorable read more

This was a pretty standard ume tea. Drinks are good and the server was nice. The popcorn chicken surprised me. It was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Exactly how I like it. There's some space to also hangout as well too. Not too much seating but about 4 tables. read more

Love this spot! I get their boba milk tea and it's always solid. 50% sugar and less ice is perfect. The tea is flavorful and the boba is chewy and sweet! This spot is more of a togo spot since there's few tables. They have a tablet you can order on and it's pretty quick. Highly recommend. They sometimes have bogo deals on doordash too. read more

The service here from when they opened & til now remains bad. Drinks/Food take forever to come out and workers are rude & seem unhappy to be there. I ordered at 8 pm, arrived at 8:15 and asked the girl in the front of my order was ready and she said "I'm not sure" and just walked away. After another 10 minutes our drinks came out but they messed up our food order so we had to wait another 10 minutes. Over 40 minutes for items.. any other ume location is way better than this one. read more

Finally got the chance to try Ume Tea and I was not disappointed! When they dropped their new Jasmine Blossom Latte, I KNEW I had to check it out. I absolutely love Jasmine tea, the more floral, the better! Their Jasmine Blossom Latte is green tea based with jasmine floral notes. It had the perfect amount of creaminess and floral undertones. I ordered mine at 75% sweetness, although next time I could definitely enjoy it at 100% sweetness. I also tried their Longan Slushy which was perfectly sweet with lots of longan flavor. There were also jellies that tasted like longan. However, it wasn't so much a slushy as the ice pieces were bigger than expected! I wish the texture was better but the flavor was definitely on point. Overall, I will definitely be back! The shop is quite spacious and SUPER cute!!! Definitely check it out ^__^ read more

Surprising new favorite boba spot in the South Bay! I had tried Ume Tea before at another location and remember it just being okay, but saw this one after stopping by in the plaza and wanted to give it another try. The ordering is easy on a kiosk off to the side. The hardest part is deciding on a drink- they have a lot of options (something for everyone!). I got the Rice Mochi Black Milk Tea with 30% sweetness and it was so good and the perfect ratio of milk tea, chewy purple rice bits and the super soft mochi (yum!!). Will definitely be back! read more

Cute little boba spot that happens to be a chain. I first heard if it because they have cuos that have little stuffies in the bottom. I have gotten one before but this time I just came for the mango drinks. Since summer is practically over they are probably going to shift to new flavors. I will say the sago was a little frozen. It is usually pretty soft even in the smoothie like texture of the mango drink. Other than that it was still delicious and would try any new drinks they come out with in the future. read more

Cute interior with a few seats inside. There's a huge selection on their menu, and they definitely love to add new items when popular! I highly recommend their mochi drinks and Mango Pomelo Sago. During this visit, I tried their cheezo white peach drink and I was pleasantly surprised! Very refreshing and their cheese foam is soooo good. Fresh fruit and ingredients are used in their drinks for sure! read more

I love the decor of this place. As soon as I walked in, I was like because of the big bunny decor by the door and the u & me wall decor. Parking around this area can be hard to find depending on the day and time. We went on a Saturday at 9am. The place was a bit packed, so we ordered online (did not know ahead of time). There was only one machine to order from, which the people ordering where taking their time and no one was at the cashier. We waited almost 20 minutes for our drinks. When we got our drinks, the guy who gave it to us, was quiet and did not say thank you come again or anything. My jasmine tea just taste like milk. I know jasmine has a light taste, but i have had better jasmine tea than this. read more

We adicted to their yogurt oat bust . Is a bom . Love it so much . We have to buy it every weekend for my kids .

This is my 3rd time at an Ume tea but the first one at this location. I happened to see it across the parking lot when donating some stuff at savers. The first thing I noticed when walking in was the cute decor. It's very pink and had cute bunny accents everywhere. The space was clean and very inviting. This is the only Ume tea that I've been to where there was someone taking orders and not just from the tablet. I ordered a Thai crème brûlée milk tea with crystal boba and Ume whipped cream. I love that the whipped cream is pink! It added a little something extra to my drink. I like that more of these Ume shops are popping up and look forward to coming again. read more

Love the tea here and the cute surprise cups. Not only are they fun for kids, but they're honestly fun for adults too...feeding my inner child, the boba monster lol. The boba here has been perfectly chewy every time and not too hard or undercooked, which is my biggest pet peeve next to when they skimp on the boba. I get my tea 0% sugar which is not recommended here, but I like being able to taste my tea rather than drinking sugar water. Since their boba is sweetened, it's perfect for me. I have tried both the Ume boba milk tea and the brown sugar boba premium oolong milk tea and both are delicious! My only complaint is that the menu is difficult to navigate and locate beverages. Not only this, but anytime we find a beverage we do like other than the normal milk tea, it gets discontinued or sold out and then we have to struggle for 10 minutes trying to search for something else to try please bring back the white peach oolong fresh milk tea!!!! We recently got the peach yogurt slushie to try because the white peach oolong was gone and while the flavor was really good, my kids did not like the chunks of whole peach in the drink. We were expecting it to be fully blended. It was just really unexpected. I would not recommend getting a single drink here 100% sweet because we have always gotten the drinks no more than the recommended 30% or whatever (definitely less than 50%) and they are already plenty sweet to me. Definitely adjust the sugar level on your drink unless you want straight up sugar. read more

This place is really cool, awesome vibe and decor with great looking drinks. Plenty of variety and the staff was great at talking about some of the differences to help choose between different drinks. The menu was extension so this was quite helpful. We tried some of their fruit tea and seasonal peach items and overall they were good but was hoping for a bit more of a tea flavor in watermelon lychee green tea and wish the peach smoothie was a bit stronger as well. Will probably go less sugar next time to balance it out since I think this place may run on the sweeter side. Overall, good experience here and would hope to try different items next time! read more

I've been to Ume Tea & Snack multiple times, and it's quickly become one of my go-to spots. The drinks are consistently solid--especially their fruit teas and yogurt drinks. The mango yogurt with lychee (50% sugar) is easily one of the best things on the menu--refreshing, not overly sweet, and super satisfying. What I appreciate most is the consistency. Even when it gets busy, the drinks usually come out tasting just right. Ordering ahead is convenient, and most of the time it's ready when you arrive, which makes a big difference. The snack options are a nice bonus too--great if you want something quick to pair with your drink. The space can get a bit crowded during peak hours, but that's pretty expected for a popular spot. read more

Ume Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Ume Tea is located in an area that I normally don't go to, but I was curious enough after seeing it a couple of times on social media that I had decided to go anyway. There is ample amount of parking and the interior of the restaurant is just adorable - I had never seen so much pink in one place. The aesthetic of the place is top notch, and it's certainly helpful to I decided to order the Lychee and Watermelon Green Tea, as it was one of the popular items listed. The service was a bit faster than I had expected, though it was not too crowded so I don't know how much that really says. The drink itself was refreshing with the exception of one minor thing - the lychee bits at the very bottom have an uncomfortable texture. I don't know exactly how to describe it, but it was annoying to sip through and made what was otherwise a relatively pleasant drink a less satisfying experience. Despite this, I wouldn't mind trying to return again. I have hope that one of the other drinks will be more to my liking, and I accept responsibility that my less-than-stellar experience was partially my own fault for not doing enough research beforehand. read more

Ume Tea - Lychee and Watermelon Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of... the pink decor. Ume Tea is a chain of bubble tea shops that has had particularly rave reviews for this location in its ~4 months of operation. It's my friend's current fave, so I had to make a quick stop after dinner. It's super pink inside, and they appear to have a cartoon bunny mascot in their wall art and merch. You can order via cashier or kiosk, and they'll call your name once your order is ready. I ordered one of my friends' recommendations, the Strawberry Matcha Latte ($5.95) with oat milk ($0.80) and a size upgrade ($1.00). As she promised, it was topped with a scoop of matcha ice cream, which made my dairy avoidance a bit pointless, aside from how cold the evening temperature is. Anyway, the drink is damn good. Even though the sweetness couldn't be adjusted down, it's not super high. The creaminess is on point, and the ice cream surely helped in that regard. The matcha is plentiful, and the strawberry does make itself known with flavor and seeds. It was great once everything blended together, which was tough at first in the tall cup with the even taller straw. I saw a text later that night from Ume Tea offering a free "Must Try" drink and went back the following day, The most interesting of the 17 options at the time was the Brown Sugar Boba Oolong Milk Tea ($5.95). It did provide plenty of oolong flavor, a good level of creaminess, and consistent boba that was the right medium between soft and chewy. The 50% sweetness was just right for me, while the light ice didn't feel that light. I'll have to try more of Ume Tea's offerings, at least from this specific shop. That strawberry matcha latte is the best version I've had yet. I get the impression that they carry a smaller and pretty specialized menu because they believe in each and every recipe, so hopefully I can try more on this and future trips to San Jose. read more

* Visited Weds. 1/1/2025 (happy new year!) * DoorDash pickup :) I will be very honest and say that I absolutely LOVE Ume Tea, and that I'm a little bias as Ume Tea is one of my go to spots for boba in the Bay. If you can, order ahead and do a pick up- it'll save you time and sometimes, you'll be able to beat some crowds. This location is pretty large and spacious compared to their Cupertino and Milpitas location, and a little less busy but that could be because it was New Year's Day. Today, we were heading on a roadtrip and were able to grab a few drinks and a snack (popcorn chicken!) for the haul. The staff was quick to check on us and help us find our order. OKAY THE DRINKS / FOOD: * popcorn chicken- I love that you were able to change the flavoring of it, as well as spice levels. We went with a simple salt & pepper and were pleasantly impressed with how full we were once we finished. * mango pomelo sago & boba - you CANNOT go wrong with this drink. This is a family favorite, and a personal favorite of mine. It's pretty refreshing and honestly great all year round. * mega fruit tea cup/ chubby fruit tea cup - Another go to drink simple because it's reasonably priced and pretty dang refreshing. I like to add their green tea jelly or aloe to this, and it would last me at least an hour. read more

Really just here to say: don't sleep on the HOT drinks and especially winter SEASONAL- Rice Mochi milk tea needs to be had by everyone!! Note: drinks do take a while to come out, but it's worth the wait! Most of the drinks are standard and solid- on the sweeter side so go 50% if you typically stray away from sweet like me. read more

LOVE this place. It's one of the few places that makes the fruit teas exactly how I like them. The perfect amount of fruit and wonderfully bitter tea. I just can't get enough. Service is also pretty nice too. I always appreciate someone who can handle my neurotic, indecisive mess of a brain. Last time I was here, I got the lychee, watermelon and green tea drink and it held me over the entire 4 hour drive back home. I really enjoyed the real fruit bits! Just a really solid place. Next time I go I may try their food items! Ambiance is the pastel pink cutie of your dreams! Their branding is really strong and I love the little bunny mascot! I have been tempted the last few times to get one of their bunny eared cup lids! One of these days I may break under the pressure and get one! read more

Super cute store and really good drink options! I really like the brown sugar milk tea with boba and mochi. The mochi was an interesting topping that I really liked as it's a smooth kind that's in between liquid and solid. I would be a little careful and eat it a little at a time so you don't choke. I also got the Oreo Creme Brulee Oolong Milk Tea here which was a recommended drink from the person at the front counter. It's also really good, you just have to make sure to really mix it otherwise all the cream is at the bottom. read more

Drinks are pretty solid and as expected. Tables feel a bit sparse and empty, however there are still tables to sit, chill, and do stuff! Check their insta or socials for when deals pop up. Milk teas are strong enough, boba have often be on the harder side across the stores. UME tea favorite drinks: Jasmine coco mango bloom and the purple rice yogurt with oat burst (super interesting texture and chewables) Not my favorite UME tea in the Bay Area and honestly a bit out of way for me, only plus are the tables in store compared to the Milpitas locations. read more

From the ambiance to the service and the products, everything was great! Jason was super patient and helpful. Excellent customer service! We ordered popcorn chicken, two brûlée Thai teas and an Oreo brûlée. The seasoning on the chicken was great and the portion good. The drinks were like desserts. I'm not huge on boba but the honey boba was really good. Jason even let us try the mango and water chestnut popping boba. I'd never had water chestnut boba before. It was surprisingly good. I'll have to order again and include it in a fruit tea. Pretty sure we'll be back! read more
