    got the mango matcha at half sweetness which was ok. I wasn't a big fan of the matcha as it tasted too watered down and you can see that it's still grainy. the peach lemonade however was refreshing and good. I've tried their other drinks before and they were great I just wouldn't get the matcha here again

    Strawberry Matcha Latte

    Decent matcha spot located at the Mitsuwa market. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte and the milk overpowered the flavor profile. The strawberry jam adds a nice contrast to the drink. Fast service! The ambiance is bustling in this area due to the location in food court. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way to get my matcha fix here unless I'm already at Mitsuwa market.

    Hojicha Milk Tea

    Parking here can get horrendous. They do have a garage if you go around the outside lot, but usually there's a long line. The store is located inside Mitsuwa food court area. They do have seating areas in the food court as well. I ordered the Hoji Cha Milk Tea and it was good and smooth. It wasn't really sweet and does have a unique taste. Recommendation(s): - Hoji Cha Milk Tea Service: 5/5 Tip(s): - Parking here is tough - Located inside Mitsuwa food court - Restrooms available

    Matcha Strawberry Latte and Matcha Latte

    Umacha is a small boba/matcha spot located in Costa Mesa's Mitsuwa. Be warned that parking is a gamble, you might get lucky and be able to park fairly easily, or you might have the worst time trying to find a spot since everyone and their mom is here today. But when you are able to visit, it's in the dead center of Mitsuwa, and you won't miss it. The workers are really nice and friendly! If you're also hungry, the food court is right behind, which is really nice. I got the matcha strawberry latte and the regular matcha latte. I personally wasn't too big on the matcha strawberry, as I felt like the strawberry jam clashed with the ceremonial matcha used, and wasn't particularly that enjoyable. However, the regular matcha latte was really good! I think because it was just the average matcha latte with milk and the ceremonial matcha, nothing clashed and they both just complimented each other. Definitely visit Umacha if you're already at Mitsuwa and looking for a sweet treat, or are willing to gamble for parking :p

    I had not been to this Mitsuwa in a while, so took a walk into the food court area and Umach caught my eye. I saw what the popular drinks were and ordered the number 1 drink called "Donchan" with less sugar and it was so good that I drove back the next day to get another one. Parking is a major hassle here. First day I got very lucky, but had to circle around about 3 times the second time around.

    Loveeeee this place! Their drinks are fantastic and sooo fresh. Their boba is very soft and chewy. I tried a few drinks and love every one of them. The only issue for me is the size...wish it was bigger lol. You can't go wrong with any of their drinks so order with confidence

    Really loved our indulgent delicious drink from Umacha. Visited Mitsuwa on a busy Black Friday to refuel between shopping, and as usual all was delicious. Umacha matcha donchan was our dessert, and it delivered! This is a SWEET drink, so def recommend going no/low sugar. Service was friendly and fast, would absolutely return when in the area.

    Umacha in Costa Mesa, is located in the super busy Mitsuwa marketplace. Parking is shared with the grocery store and it is a pain in the butt to find parking here during very busy hours. I would come in between the rush. You can find, Umacha, in the middle of the food court. Their setup is just like a bar which is kinda cool especially when the food court is packed and you can't find anywhere to sit. The bar area has a bunch of really neat plants. I absolutely loved looking at all of them. I'm a plant enthusiast but haven't had plants in a while, so I was enjoying the display. Umacha, offers some milk teas with or without cheese cream, fruit teas, lemonades, slush and coffees. I ordered the matcha donchan half sweet. This drink was so good. I loved how strong the matcha flavor came through. I highly recommend ordering this one. The next time I go back to Santoukka in the same food court, I am definitely coming back to try their other teas. That was a perfect dessert after my ramen dinner.

    After a quick shopping trip to south coast mall, I stopped by umacha to pick up a drink before heading home. Smacked right in the middle of the food court is this boba shop. It was my first time so I asked for a few recommendations. I ended up getting their passionfruit tea which came with jelly, but I customized it with light boba, extra passionfruit, and extra ice. The worker was able to accommodate my requests without any issue. I was also able to sample their pumpkin milk tea, which was pretty good. As for my passionfruit, it was delicious. The Japanese tea flavor really came through. I would not only get that again, but I would also try their milk tea series next time. All in all, good service and good products make this place a a must try!

    I got the lemon black tea and it was really good. It was made perfectly. Friendly service. Definitely will come back again.

    Genmaicha Milk Tea
    Albert T.

    We were checking out the Mitsuwa food court and noticed this distinctively more Japanese-style boba shop. They have two teas that typically aren't found at Taiwanese or Chinese influenced shops - Hojicha and Genmaicha. We ended up getting one drink to share: Genmaicha Milk Tea, 16oz Cold, 50% Sugar, Less Ice ($5.5) - The tea is actually quite good. It has a deep rice-like toasty flavor that comes through with every sip. They use fructose syrup as the sweetener, so there's a bit of a harsh bite, and non-dairy creamer, but the tea is still the strongest link. This drink comes with boba. The boba is great. It's fantastically q, with the perfect level of both chew and bounce. Smooth yet soft, clearly sweetened in brown sugar syrup. Delicious. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 I did not expect to find such good boba in a food court of all places. If I lived in the area, I would probably return any time I shopped at Mitsuwa.

    One of the things my husband and I did after we landed in California was head out to get some ramen and matcha tea after being out of the country for two weeks. Normally, we would have gone to In-N-Out, but we had a really meat heavy diet in Turkiye, and I was trying to make up for the faux-ramen experience we had in Istanbul. While we were waiting for ramen from Santouka, I ordered a taro matcha latte from UMACHA, less ice, less sweet. It was ready in a flash and I picked it up when my name was called. I shook it up before I stuck my straw in to take a sip. It was creamy, slightly sweet, and a little earthy from the matcha. It was delightful and just what I needed after a long travel day. Let's face it, it's hard to sleep in the sky, so why not get a jolt of caffeine. Service was good and the wait was minimal, despite the food hall being busy with after lunch rush. We parked in the garage so parking was easy to find for us. IYKYK.

    Umacha, located inside Mitsuwa Marketplace in Costa Mesa, is a popular tea "bar" spot and neat ambiance surrounding by other food court choices. You can seat off the end at the "bar" area or pick any open tables available throughout the food court. My friends and I ordered the Brown Sugar Latte with honey boba, Hojicha Boba and Matcha Latte. All were delicious but very run-of-the-mill flavors and selections. The quality of the beverages, especially the hojicha milk tea with boba, is good -- matcha seems pretty standard. Oddly, I thought would be "special" considering the name of the place. However, if you're strictly coming for boba, I would avoid due to that the location can get busy during peak hours, and parking may be challenging due to shared spaces with the marketplace. For those who's shopping and wanting to grab a drink before you head out...this is perfect spot to check out. The service is okay nothing engaging or outstanding. If you also happened to be plant enthusiasts, while Mitsuwa Marketplace itself doesn't specialize in plants, Umacha offers some limited selection of succulents for sale (including this "heart shaped plant that I was eyeing).

    This place is hands down a must-try boba shop…read more My husband and I always order from here through Uber Eats, and we finally decided to visit in person. Let me tell you ,every time we get their drinks, it's always a hit! Their boba teas aren't overly sweet. They make them just sweet enough so you can enjoy them without worrying about too much sugar, and you can adjust the sweetness level to your liking. I love the atmosphere of this place ,very cozy and spacious too. It's perfect for hanging out with a group of friends or a solo date if that's more your vibe. I haven't tried their desserts yet, but I definitely plan to next time I stop by for boba. The service is very quick, and the workers are really friendly as well. All in all, I love this boba place, and I know I'll be a regular at this location hands down! Thank you, Feng Cha, for always making yummy drinks You'll definitely see me again soon

    Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea…read more Black milk tea: 1.5/2. I got the Black Milk Tea, 50% sweet, less ice. This drink is really flavorfula and rich, which I quite like. It has notes of dark brown sugar and cream, with a dense mouthfeel. I would probably have gotten it at 25% sweet though. Other drinks: 1/1. Lots of variety, including milk teas, fruit drinks, matcha, and coffee drinks. There are milk foam cakes as well if you want even more dessert. Ambiance: 0.5/1. Cute decor with plenty of seating and tables. Free (password-protected) WiFi. The music was a little loud and the signal frequently cut out while I was there, which was kinda disruptive to my experience. If you bring headphones, though, it's a good place to work! Service: 1/1. Order at the counter. Drinks come out quickly. Total: 4/5
