    The workers here are nice and friendly. The floor is very dirty. The drinks came out quick, I guess I came at a time it wasn't too busy.

    Uji matcha boba latter with 30 percent sweet with oat milk (large)
    Thy S.

    Had to try this new tea shop location since it just opened. Since the store is new there was some what of a long line. I was 8th in line. Took roughly 15 min to get to the cashier. I'd imagine people had lots of questions. I ordered the popcorn chicken with spicy and salt/pepper flavor. The chicken tastes so delicious. It has some breading to the chicken. It's not as spicy as I would have hoped. Compared to their other locations this place doesn't make it as spicy. However they definitely have the chicken part down compared to their other locations. For drinks I bought a uji matcha latte boba with 30 percent sweet and subbed milk for soy milk. It tasted creamy and not as sweet which is a good thing. For people who have dairy restrictions. You'll get charged for choosing other milk options unfortunately. Compared to other tea shops and coffee shops they don't charge you for having dietary restrictions. Parking will be a problem here since this Asian plaza is always packed. I recommend coming here early when it opens cause you won't get parking lol.

    Came for the grand opening. I'm in this shopping plaza a lot but now parking is going to be busy. I came on their BOGO day and waited about an hour from getting into line to getting my drink. And then I also came on $5.99 popcorn chicken day and waited about 30 minutes total. I like that they do multiple days of grand opening offers. Ume is expanding very quickly and I hope they stick around. They have some pretty unique drinks. My go to's are the fruit teas with either passion fruit or watermelon or both. Their coco jasmine mango/coconut drinks are also very yummy. This was my first time having popcorn chicken. It was freshly fried and pretty flavorful. Though I'm pretty sure I asked for non-spicy and it had a bit of a kick. Even the hubby who has more of a tolerance for spice noticed it. So it wasn't just my sensitive palate. Service was ok, for it being so busy. But they are just opening - they can only get better. I do like that this is now the closest Ume location to me.

    I've been a loyal fan of this brand for a long time, and the Black Boba Mochi Milktea is my absolute favorite. However, my experience at this location today was beyond disappointing, it was unprofessional and disrespectful. 1. System & Pricing Issues: First, I noticed this store requires 100 points for a free drink, whereas other locations only require 60-80 points. To make matters worse, when I ordered through the kiosk, the system glitched and applied my 'free drink' reward to the popcorn chicken instead of my tea. I didn't say anything at the time, thinking it was just a system error, but it was frustrating. 2. Poor Service & Wait Time: Even though there were only two orders ahead of me at the time, while there were four or five staff members inside and they were just laughing and chatting. I waited 20 minutes for my drink, and then had to wait an additional 5-7 minutes for the popcorn chicken. Unlike other locations, the staff here is not proactive at all. I had to specifically ask for a bag myself; otherwise, they wouldn't have offered one. 3. Unacceptable Staff Attitude: The breaking point was the missing extra mochi. I paid for an extra portion and left a note saying 'mochi on the side.' This means I should have had mochi inside the tea AND a separate portion on the side. When I realized the tea had no mochi and pointed it out, the employee didn't even bother to check my order or apologize. Instead, he snapped at me: 'You noted mochi on the side, so we put it on the side for you already.' I had to explain the order again, and he finally offered to remake the drink but did so with a visible attitude. To save time, I just asked him to put the missing mochi in a small side cup. He acted like he didn't understand and I had to repeat myself one more time. When he finally handed it to me, he was extremely rude, didn't say a word, and not a single apology was given. 4. Hygiene & Quality Concerns: The hygiene here is also a major concern. The cup was not wiped down and was covered in sticky brown sugar syrup when I got to my car. Moreover, the seating area and tables were quite dirty. As for the food, the extra mochi portion was only half-full, had a watery texture, and was completely tasteless. I truly hope the management looks into this. This location needs a serious fix regarding their system, hygiene, and especially the staff's professional attitude and respect for customers.

    isnt full ... but working is slowly...

    I really like this spot! The menu isn't massive, but what they have they do well--I am personally a…read morefan of how focused their menu is. I will say that the drinks are on the pricier side; everything her ranges from 6 to 8 dollars, even for the smaller-sizd drinks. This spot is a bit small, but it is well-lit and comfortable to sit in. It's clean and stylish inside, and orders are primarily taken through a standing tablet. It's relatively easy to find parking, even though the lot is somewhat busy, especially right after work. The drinks come out pretty quickly and taste really good, though even their "less sweet" options tend to err on the side of being too sweet. I am usually a bit suspect of matcha or hojicha served by places that mostly serve other boba drinks, but I have tried both the matcha and hojicha here, and I liked both. They don't serve food or snacks, which I don't mind! I would absolutely recommend this spot to others; it's a nice experience and their drinks (at least the ones I've tried) are solid.

I had to go home and dilute the crap out of it (I got 80% sweet), but the tartness was too much. Then I tried their Taro milk (I usually get this at another spot and it was closed) and it is SOOOO Good. I'm definitely coming back for this again and again. You order via their tablets or if you're having a hard time, there is also someone at the front register to assist. Clean, fast, efficient! Tried the thai tea cremebrulee drink too. It was good but very creamy.

While I generally like strawberries, the strawberry sauce in this drink tasted off. Not sure if it taste bad because it's near the end of the day. I noticed a sign stating that if you're not satisfied with your drink, it can be remade. So I politely asked if they could remake mine without the strawberry since that was the only issue. At first, the employee told me they couldn't remake it without strawberry, which was confusing given the posted policy. I explained again that the strawberry tasted bad and pointed out the sign. Only then did she agree to remake it. Everything else about the drink was fine, and I wouldn't have asked for a remake if the strawberry sauce hadn't tasted spoiled. The interaction just felt unnecessarily difficult and left a bad impression. It was upsetting to end my day with this kind of experience. Honestly, this place isn't my favorite to begin with--I only came because my boyfriend likes it--but after this, I probably won't be ordering anything for myself again.

The osmanthus syrup complimented the yogurt and gave it some texture. The grape teagurt, on the other hand, is probably not something I'll get again because the grapes at the bottom were too sour and had a weird rubbery, gritty texture. I'm looking forward to trying the honeydew yogurt drink next. They have a lot of unique drinks that I haven't seen elsewhere. I appreciated that when my drink came out a little short, the server made more so that it would fill to the top. And I appreciated that the register asked me to join their rewards program after paying instead of there being a nondescript sign somewhere away from the counter that would surely lead to me kicking myself for not seeing it after spending a lot. The reward is $8 off for spending $100.

As always, their mobile app ordering system is fully functional and easy to use. You can order with Apple Pay and rewards points. Stopped by to do some work on my laptop on a weekend afternoon.

Countertop stools are missing from the counter area. Sprayed graffiti on the window and sticky caramel spillages outside the entrance were not cleaned up. Store has more of an ambiance to hang out with friends. Music choice wasn't disruptive. Not really a good place to do work in comparison to other locations due to noise level of other guests. There's also 4 Wi-fi networks to choose from and none of them worked except for Berryessa Square, which was super slow. Staff was friendly and quick with service. Drinks are consistent with other locations. Will be back for just picking up drinks. There's better locations to go to for working on a laptop.
