Design of the cup is so adorable, the staff were very friendly, and there was quick service. The booth is decorated very nicely and was clean although since it was in the middle of the food court, customers waiting in line constantly had to move out of the way of passerby. The drink itself was tasty, boba is really chewy. Get light ice for medium drinks or it'll be too watered down by the end. I recommend if you want a sweet drink after your meal! read more

Umacha - 9. Brown Sugar Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

New addition to Mitsuwa Marketplace food court. The store's greenery decor caught our attention immediately, it looked so aesthetic. The staff was friendly and offered us sample of genmaicha milk tea, which had sweet, nutty, butter flavor. I'm more of a strong tea base fan, so I went ahead with hojicha milk tea, which had a slightly smoky flavor. Waiting time was about 20 min. The milk tea was okay, but still missing tea hint. They don't have crystal boba on the menu, and sadly the brown sugar boba made my drink too sweet to finish. Hope to see some improvement in the near future.

Cool location in the food court of Mitsuwa. I got the quarter sweet matcha latte. Aesthetically it looked great, but the drink was a bit diluted. I think that a higher concentration of matcha powder would take this to the next level. Overall, theres really nice staff and they have a cool set up. read more

Passion fruit, 1/4 sweet, less ice with boba was so freaking good!!! The brown sugar black tea with boba was also delicious. Boba was piping hot and so delectably soft. read more

Really wanted a matcha drink, so stopped in the Mitsuwa food court where this was located. I tried the Matcha Donchan because of all of the photos I saw and it looked tasty. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it as much as I was expecting. I got it with oat milk and it could have been my bad, but the boba balls became hard. Even though I've had cheese foam before, I was not a fan of the way this specific cheese foam mixed in with the drink. I would like to try the other drinks if I ever come back to the area. read more

Brown sugar boba was delicious. Boba sweet and chewy and the flavor of the tea was perfection. Great spot with challenging parking

Inside Mitsuwa market in the middle where the food court is. I ordered the Matcha Donchan and it was delicious and the boba was chewy and fresh. The matcha was strong and you could tell it's made with great quality! read more

Umacha - Matcha Donchan - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Hands down my favorite drink place. I'm a regular there, and my favorite drinks are the matcha strawberry latte and the passion fruit lemonade. More recently they added the matcha mango latte and it is also really good. The quality of the matcha is incredible and they are generous with it. The passion fruit lemonade taste is refreshing and real, not artificial at all. I like that you can adjust the ice and sweetness level. Staff is polite and friendly. Beautiful decor and the menus are arranged in a way in which it is easy to see what the options are. More recently they did downsize the cups, specifically the medium sized cup- so you will need to pay more for a bigger size now. Though it can be pricey, I think it is worth it! read more

Located in the central area of the food court, Umacha specializes in Cream Bubble Tea, which adds a layer of cream for additional sweetness. One positive note that I experienced at Umacha was their service. The person who took my order was nice. The wait for the order was around three minutes. What I ordered: DONCHAN (Cheese Cream + Brown Sugar + Milk + Boba) - The drink was overly sweet. I wished there was a way to control the sweetness level because it was too sensitive to enjoy. Also, I am personally lactose, but I am seldom impacted by drinking milk. Sadly, I was affected by the drink and did not enjoy the moment after. read more

This is a cute boba shop, located inside the mitsuwa food court. Their popular drink seems to be the brown sugar milk drink. Workers are still learning how to process everything, but they are friendly. They do answer questions if you have any. I love hojicha, so I was happy to try the hojicha milk tea. The hojicha milk tea comes with boba. A lot of their drinks come with the brown sugar boba, so do keep that in consideration when adjusting sweetness. My friend and I both got our drinks at less sweetness. It didn't take long for the drinks to come out. My friend had ordered a hot hojicha milk tea. She didn't expect there to be boba, but there was! Since her drink was hot, the boba made the drink sickingly sweet. She wasn't a fan of her drink. My iced hojicha milk tea tasted milky, with a hint of tea. The tea flavor was very light. The boba, though, is super soft and chewy. I'm not sure if I can see myself coming back, since I like my drinks to have that tea flavor. read more

Umacha - Hot hojicha milk tea, and iced hojicha milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Who knew this was attached to the Mitsuwa market? I didn't see signs outsides anywhere. Love me is cheese cream, strawberry jam and milk (oat for me). This was a thick consistency as you can see from the photo. The taste was good but don't expect a milky consistency. Chunks of strawberry and thick cream- just be sure to mix it well before sipping that thru a straw. The black tea lemonade had slices of lemonade. Without sweetener this could be tart. Pure black tea is good if you want it strong. Staff was helpful and our order came quick, but it was also an hour before closing. A busy food hall to come back to and will be back to try other drinks. read more

I was trying to get a quick bite on Saturday and it failed miserably, so I thought I'd get a boba before I got hangry. Umacha was conveniently located inside the food court and they didn't have too long of a line when I went. I ordered a regular sized hojicha milk tea with boba with less sugar. The boba was super fresh and piping hot! I waited about 5 minutes for my drink which isn't bad considering it was so busy. I was sad upon first sip that the drink was still way too sweet, milky, and barely any tea flavor at all. Although the tea itself was kind of whatever, the boba made up for it. It was the perfect balance of soft and chewy and you can really taste the brown sugar it was sitting in. There are plenty of other solid tea options in the surrounding area, but if you find yourself stuck at Mitsuwa's food court, this will do. read more

Very frustrated with this place! Wanted to try their tea and asked the girl taking orders if their tea is normally made sweet and she goes to explain you can adjust the sweetness so I wanted to clarify, that I understand adjusting the sweetness but is the tea drink comes sweet and she said no! So I asked again so the drinks don't come sweet and she said yes it's sweet! I was beginning to feel a little frustrated as my question was simple so I decided to ask again in case she didn't understand my question, but at the end it didn't get anywhere so I gave up and went inside Mitsuwa market and get myself a cold drink there! ‍‍ All I wanted to know was if the drink comes sweeten already. read more

It's inside the Mitsuwa market so you definitely have to compete for the parking. The drink comes out quick and the lady who took my order was super sweet. 10/10 for the boba texture, I can taste the actual tea and the amount of cream they give isnt too much which suits my liking. read more

Was great flavored and the service was fast. I like the ambiance it's clean and alive. I would always grab matcha here when ever I'm around.

Located inside Mitsuwa at the center of the food court. They are known for cheese cream foam but I got the milk teas. We got the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, it came with boba. Also got Hojicha w/o boba. I didn't customize any of it except for less ice on both. The hojicha could have used 75% sweet. Love that their prices are reasonable, average of $5.50 for the regular sized milk tea. If you want something quick, inexpensive then this is the place to go. Not exactly quality but decent for the price. read more

This place disappointed me immensely - but my boyfriend liked my drink! I technically did order an Iced Hojicha Latte less sweet because people mentioned how a regular one was too sweet, but I guess I couldn't find that perfect balance. It was a drink that I couldn't finish and don't recommend. I personally wouldn't come back. read more

Wanted to just grab a quick drink after eating at the Mitsuwa food court, so I wasn't really expecting much out of a standard boba shop located inside a foodcourt but was actually pretty impressed when I tried their donchan. Pretty pricey but it was pretty decent and very rich in flavor. Definitely not bad a place just to wash your palate after eating at all of mitsuwa's salty food! For what it is, it was really good! Located in the center of Mitsuwa foodcourt. Service was very friendly, and helpful. Plenty of parking! read more

Umacha - 1. Donchan, 16 oz. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I stopped by yesterday to try the cheese foam series, specifically the Jasmine tea. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst teas I've had. I usually adore Jasmine, but this version was incredibly over-perfumed--it tasted more like floral soap than tea. The heavy floral notes didn't pair well with the cheese foam at all. It's a bummer because I had high hopes for this spot read more

Excited to try this new place's boba, I ordered their brown sugar milk with foam and boba (50% sugar). Service was very fast, and the boba was very fresh. I really gotta say, this has been the best brown sugar milk I have tasted in awhile among the other tea shops recently. I would definitely come back to try other drinks when I am here again. Finally this food court has some decent drinks. read more

Umacha is located inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace food court area. It's a little island bar with bar like seating which is pretty nice. They specialize in different sorts of teas and matcha drinks. I was automatically drawn to the most common drink which is the Black Milk Tea with Boba. I saw them make fresh boba right there which added to the idea of freshness. The drink looks great as the color and everything looked good. The flavor was just alright. In my opinion the drink was hot when made and it was shaken with ice and it watered it down too much. Instead of having black tea refrigerated adding hot tea with ice to cool it down really takes away from the bold texture with milk and the flavor. I see that the quality and effort it there but I think it's a solid 3 stars (average) from my experience. read more

A new boba shop has opened in the heart of the Mitsuwa food court and I was able to stop by and grab a drink after having dinner yesterday! I ordered their Marry Me Mango drink which was mango with jasmine green tea and mango jelly! They make drinks to order so it can take a little while especially when there's a line! Service was quick and friendly and they currently offer 20% off your order if you follow them on Instagram! My drink was refreshing and sweet! If you prefer your drinks to be less sweet, I recommend 50 percent sweetness and you can also adjust your ice levels too! The mango jelly was a great topping for my drink and they give you plenty of it! Overall ambience is pretty good with most of it coming from the food court and people dining and walking around. Their menu isn't the biggest I've seen compared to other shops I've been to but they seemingly focus on teas with cheese foam here but they also have fruit teas like what I had earlier and slushes and lemonades. I can see myself coming back again for a quick drink in the future whenever I stop by to shop or dine, Umacha is a good new addition to the food court! read more

Umacha - 2. Matcha Donchan - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This boba shop is in the Mitsuwa market food court and is a convenient place to grab boba after grabbing a bite for dinner at a nearby stall. We ordered their hoji cha milk tea boba and their coffee boba. Both drinks were good, but on the sweeter side so I'd recommend getting the drink less sweet if you don't like overly sweet drinks. They also allow you to get less ice as a customization for the drink as well. The boba balls are pretty good and are not too mushy as well. Their service is good and for the time being, they will give you a discount if you follow their Instagram. The food court can get busy, but they remodeled it and it seems a bit more spacious than before. Overall, a decent boba shop that we wouldn't mind going back to. read more

I was at Mitsuwa and want to give this place a try. Since they kind of have "macha" in their name, I think Matcha Don Chan would be a good idea. The drink, unfortunately, just average. I can't really taste the matcha, and it is very sweet. Unfortunately, this is the one drink they listed as you can't customized, therefore, I can't ask for less sweet. The pearl is soft and chewy. Maybe I'll try another drink next time if I'm in the area. read more

Tried one of their signature drinks. The Matcha Donchan? I think the name was... It was a little pricey for a small size but really liked the drink. Matcha was not too overpowering and bitter. The beverage was not too sugary either. Just the way I like it. Especially their boba was so warm and soft. Tasted really fresh. The best Matcha beverage I had in Orange County. Bon Appetite! read more

Umacha - Strawberry Matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This is the most recent boba shop in the area. It is located inside the Mitsuwa that is in Costa Mesa. The drinks are great, but in good Japanese fashion, the CANNOT BE customized at all. The issue is this: they specialize in cheese foam (which is great and very delicious, by the way), but also they do fill 1/4 of the cup with ice. By the time you are done with your milk tea, and all there's left to do is enjoy the remaining cheese foam, the ice gets in the way and is burdensome. Other than this minor issue, the drinks are seriously top-notch. I just wish there was an option for no ice and double the cheese foam, haha! read more

While eating here and enjoying my bowl or Ramen, we decided to give this new drink place a try. It is located in the center of the food court. There was a crowd and a line of people ordering, so this place must be good. Ordered their No.1 drink along with their "Marry Me Mango" drink. Both tasted pretty good. Be sure to change the sweetness level of the fruit drink to half, as it may be quite sweet. Not bad. read more

First time here, and tried out the Hojicha. Overall flavors on it exceeded expectations. It was the perfect mix of earthy and toasted notes, making for a bold but refreshing tea. The boba was fresh with a satisfying chewiness. If I lived closer this would be my first choice, but I'll be sure to return next time in the area. Umacha is a clear standout among the more everyday chain shops in OC. read more

This place is fun as it's inside mitsuwa! Been wanting to try since we saw it. Was excited to see the cheese foam options as well. About $8 for the regular size with boba added. Enjoyed the taste of the tea, but even with less sugar it was candy like sweet. I was expecting the cheese foam to be more salty but it was actually pretty sweet as well. Really enjoyed the texture of the boba but the sweetness of the brown sugar was disappointing. Service was quick and friendly! read more
