Very cute place with great boba and great staff. I got the passionfruit fruit tea with strawberry popping boba and went back a second time to get lychee fruit tea with strawberry popping boba. The staff even drew little clouds on the cup, presentation goes above and beyond.

Taro Crème Brûlée

The owner was incredibly sweet and answered all of our questions! She made a slightly different drink than I ordered, but I was not going to mention it as the drink was great! However, on our way out she stopped me and gave me the right drink and apologized! My girlfriend got the banh mi pate and could not stop raving about it! The bonus is, you support a mother and her son by buying at this small business! :)

I'm not one for writing critical reviews but this one is a must. I have had matcha boba tea everywhere. I know how it's supposed to taste and the texture of the boba is supposed to be. But this isn't it. The boba were all stuck together and I couldn't even get it through the straw. Which was very disappointing. The cafe is beautiful inside and that is why I wanted to give it a try. But even though my drink was made correctly I see such potential in this place. The workers are very nice and kind but the service is very slow. Which is understandable when you have online orders but I was the only customer there and I ordered one item. I waited at least 20 minutes for my boba. I hope the improvements will be put in place and I will return again and try another boba in the future.

Brown Sugar Milk Tea
Boon C.

Tyummi very new in Gainesville. They serve boba tea and Vietnamese food Ana Banh Mi. They use to have popcorn chicken but the day I visited do not have it. I was having layover before get back to Tampa. I decided to stop here to get a drink due summer heat and bathroom break. I got the brown sugar boba tea. I got almond milk due to my stomach cannot take daily milk condition. The drink was prepare with not much of wait. After one sip. Here are my comments. The boba is not soft enough. It is actually tough to chew. May be they didn't cook long enough. The milk tea is a bit low in tea smell or fragrance. These are the two points that they need to improve. Good brown sugar taste.

Lemongrass chicken Signature Banh Mi
Simone M.

If you're looking to try Vietnamese food, you definitely need to add Tyummi onto your spots in Gainesville to hit up! My mom and I attended the GCM Festival last month and they were one of the vendors that I had a great foodie experience with. I figured I'd give it another try, and oh I'm so happy I did! When walking into the restaurant, they have this millennial pink aesthetic that's so Instagram worthy. I walked in knowing I wanted to order a banh mi since I had it before but wanted to try some other food options. I glanced over at a DoorDash order and saw this bright orange drink with mangoes on top and had to immediately asked the server what this was. She told me it was the mangonada smoothie - and instantly added that to my order. In addition, I ordered a lemongrass chicken banh and the signature pho noodle soup bowl with chicken and all of the topping. I will say ordering is very easy and quick, however the wait time - was a little long. However, I do understand they make their food fresh as you can watch them prepare your meal. The mangonada smoothie is hands down one of my favorite drinks that I've had in a long time. Immediately you taste the sweetness of the mango with the contrast of the chamoy and tajin seasoning. The dipped straw is covered in the chamoy and tajin seasoning and just compliments it so well. Once I was home, I dove into the pho noodle bowl as the temperature was chilly outside. The broth is very clean tasting and adding the lime to the broth really hit the spot. Now, the lemongrass chicken banh mi is so flavorful. The baguette is very crisp and soft, and airy in texture. For the toppings, my favorite is that pickled carrot and daikon. That elevated this Vietnamese sandwich for me. I highly recommend ordering from Tyummi if you're looking to try some Vietnamese staples in Gainesville!

Have come here so many times. Love the teas. I want to try their lunch one time but I always go for the tea. My go to is the passion fruit but this time I went with the paradise tea. Cute and cozy inside, quick service. This time however, I think there was some mold on one of my fruit pieces. Either that or just a weird looking seed?

Modern vibes
J C.

Today is the soft opening of T-Yummi and while they have a limited menu of 2 standard Vietnamese sandwiches, they pull them off rather well. The reason they lose a star is that there was a lack of meat in the sandwich. All the fresh vegetable flavors overpowered what little meat that was in the bhan mi. And now to the main attraction, the Boba tea (milk tea)! I chose the brown sugar milk tea because for me it is the standard and once again, they did a great job. Not too sweet and a very good balance of flavors. You will definitely enjoy eating every single tapioca ball until none are left. The interior is very modern and has clean lines throughout. There's even a fun looking selfie station that I'm sure will get used a lot.

Pork loaf bahn mi
Kyle G.

Tyummi is the newest Vietnamese place in town, serving bahn mi, pho, and boba. The thing that differentiates them from other places is the ability to build your own bahn mi, which I really appreciate. And boy are they big sandwiches. You definitely get your money's worth here. My biggest issue is the wait time for food. I understand that they have not been open for long but it seems like they just don't have enough staff. Multiple times I saw people switching through stations to help out and it caused a lot of slowdown in multiple areas. Do not come here expecting to get in and out quickly. I would recommend calling in pickup. The food is very worth it, it's just slow.

Loving the cute decor at this place!
Jane P.

Wow, I have been meaning to try this place ever since it launched with the soft opening in February! I never got around because of how busy it always was, but I finally managed to sneak in for a late lunch! Instantly, I was blown away by how trendy the interior was! Obviously not every place needs to look cute, but it's always a plus! Everything was super clean and polished--and pink (my favorite color)! We took our orders with the super sweet staff and then sat down to wait. I ordered a plain Bánh Mì with Pork Slices, as well as a Peach Fruit Tea with Boba. My boyfriend got the Phỏ with Meatballs. After a short wait, we received our food! The tea for me was perfectly sweet and refreshing, and the boba texture was very soft and chewy, reminiscent of Kung Fu Tea's texture, which I love. The bánh mì was pretty good, but the bread was a little dry and the pork slices were different than what I was used to (I usually get grilled pork at bánh mì places). Still yummy nonetheless! I tried the phở and while the broth was pretty bland, the meat and noodles were good! Overall, I am looking forward to coming back as well as see what plans they have for the future! I'm always excited to try up and coming restaurants, and I hope T-YUMMÌ will be a Gainesville staple!

Taro Latte

My favorite tea bar in Gainesville. The food is always fresh and the drinks are creatively crafted. The pretty packaging is a plus!

Is that fresh daikon, carrot, and cilantro?? Yes it is!
Pele W.

Happened to find out about bánh mì organically from some daytime show on network TV. Googled and discovered there's a local Vietnamese spot which seems to focus on bubble tea and similar beverages, but also offers a small range of their own fresh, homemade appetizer-slash-lunch dishes. Ordered the bánh mì sandwich with lemongrass-(clearly marinated)-beef along with pickled carrot slivers and daikon radish. This was among several toppings one of which could be added. Also got three (3) spring rolls in rice flour wrap also with carrot, daikon, and fresh cilantro, and unlike with the sandwich their online menu lets you add any or all the available toppings. Was pleasantly surprised to discover this nook in the Butler Center cranny, which notably unlike certain smoothie places that keep the odd chicken or other wrap or panini at arm's length just in case actually appears to prep things for their sensibly limited menu on deck for the day. I have yet to try any of their drinks, given my primary mission was to acquire and destroy bánh mì, and destroy it my wife and I did, with relish, on top of the particularly garlicky Tom Yum style T-sauce which melded excellently with the rolls. Maybe I will get us a beverage or two next time. One withheld for that reason, but food-wise, five stars well deserved!

Signature Rolls
Alexmary F.

I've come here before and the signature rolls are delicious! I always get mine with tofu (they have honey btw!). The pho however is not my favorite. My boyfriend liked his chicken pho but the veggie one was not it.

Chandani D.

Sadly this place missed the mark for me. Opted to get a Taro milk tea as I do at new places to be able to have a basis for comparison. I asked for it to be 75% sweet and it tasted as if there were extra sweetness instead of less. Unfortunately, there was very few boba present in the drink and it was very chalky and tasted of straight mix. Considering the prices are higher than other places in town and the quality is below par, I would say there are far better options elsewhere in town. As others have mentioned, the wait time was also excessive as I waited 20 minutes for 1 drink.

Open!

The staff member was super nice when I walked and immediately welcoming and friendly. I went with the brown sugar milk tea with boba and upgraded to almond milk for my milk choice. The upgrade is $1 surcharge however he was super nice and gave the upgrade on the house. The boba shop is pretty small and has a claw game inside. The prices are pretty reasonable and he informed his favorite boba was a seasonal one, the hami melon boba tea which sounded good and will try soon! This boba tea was surprisingly not super sweet at all. It was very creamy and delicious. It had a subtle hint of brown sugar and the boba tasted like it soaked up the brown sugar flavoring. I highly recommend this drink. However, be mindful of trying to get to this place if you're a local as it's that time of the year (aka football season).

To get to the cafe, you have to parallel park just an fyi. I'd go through the pain of parallel parking to get another drink here! Highly highly recommend!!!

However, many of the teas- such as the earl grey and cherry- have a strong perfumy-lychee notes that can be off putting. Also I feel that there is some real nickel and dime-ing going on as you need to pay extra to change the ice content and to have boba in both sides of the dual flavor cup. However, I do wanna mention here that I love the general execution of the double flavor cup other than that small detail. Lastly, this was likely a fluke, but the cold foam on one of my visits was very chunky- straight cream cheese- which was an off putting quality control error. But overall, its not a bad spot, just not the best in town. Good if you want a really specific flavor though.

It wasn't too loud inside and there were plenty of places to sit. I think it would be a great place for a date or to meet up with friends. My order: The matcha green tea w. coconut milk (no boba). I also tried the tiramisu mousse cake. The green tea was really tasty, the tiramisu mousse was just okay IMO. Why I left a four star review: There weren't a lot of dairy-free milk options, the price point was a tad high, and there are too many other boba tea shops in Gainesville with a better price point and flavors.
