This is the best UME location in south bay because they have items on the menu they don't have at other locations like the bento boxes! Specifically I get the braised beef and mushroom bento box which is super good and you can't get at other locations. The kimchi, fish balls and sides it comes with are good too. I also ordered the oat burst sticky rice yogurt drink and it was amazing - I LOVE all their yogurt based drinks and I don't know other boba places in south bay that have these type of drink. The drink was amazing and food was solid. This specific location is popular so the wait was a bit long on a sunday night ~30 min but it's worth it! It's in a plaza with a lot of good chinese food and ranch 99 so you can look around while waiting. Keep in mind this location has no seating, but the plaza itself has some outdoor benches you can sit and eat/drink. read more

I love all the drinks from here, NGL. Everything is always made to perfection, with the right amount of sweetness and they always fill it to the brim. All time favorite: black tea with taro and mochi. It's perfect with 0% sweetness became the taro is what makes it sweet, BUT if you have to, 30% is good. We always order it online since it helps with cutting down the wait time in person. Staff can be a hit or miss. Sometimes, they're just standing there on their phones and sometimes, really efficient. Not much of a space to hang out inside, but people tend to stay outside anyways. You order via their 1 kiosk...so line can get backed up. I seriously wish they have an app for Ume read more

It looked weird when they used past season Christmas cup in February. Not sure if I still like their products as first impressions count, the past holiday design cup was off putting. I think they tried to use up old inventory but why not use them next year? Ordered a Pistachio Jasmine delight, the topping was slimy. Didn't like it too much. There are a plethora of boba shops in the same plaza, a total of five with a new one just opened, it seems Ume doesn't care about competitions. Outdoor seating continued to be a disaster. Unfortunately a hard pass this time. read more

I have been going to Ume Tea for 7 years now, maybe longer. This is the 1st and original location. The interior use to be very cute with photo ops and very pink inside. Now, fast forward 7 years later, the interior is a big mess with bags and boxes everywhere, no more photo ops and doesn't give me the Ume Tea vibe like the other new locations. I ordered 2 mango coconut blue drinks yesterday and there was really no one there in the afternoon. The drinks took about 20 minutes which was very very long compared to the other busier locations. After several sips, it didn't have the coconut flavor and tasted like milk instead. Also, I noticed that customers kept on coming up to the staff wondering about their drinks and other questions but the staff seemed confused and didn't know. I don't know how the original location went downhill like this. This location seems neglected in terms of vibe, service and quality. I hope they can fix these small issues so that it stands up to all of their other locations. read more

One of my favorite boba places! Pretty much addicted to the coco mango drink as well as their fried baby octopus and popcorn chicken. Pro tip: popcorn chicken, add salt and pepper seasoning as well as spicy. You won't ever order it another way again! read more

11/18/2025 DOORDASHED As someone stepping into the work industry, boba helped me survive my days at work. Ordered DoorDash and got a reg milk tea w boba. It was pricey on DoorDash for a regular-sized drink ($6.75) But the drink was good itself. and the pearls were nice and chewy, not hard. read more

We were craving boba tea and decided to stop by this place because the shop has such a cute, kawaii decor. Mini me ordered the brown sugar boba and the mochi black milk tea with 15% sweetness and less ice, and it was the perfect level of sweetness. I ordered the coco mango jasmine bloom slushie with 50% sweetness. Both drinks were delicious and super refreshing. We even got a free cute bag since we ordered our drinks to go, which was a nice surprise. We will definitely be back. Next time I want to try the tanghulu yogurt drink or the sticky rice drink that comes in the adorable rectangle cup. The staff is efficient and the ordering process is easy since you order through a machine and they text you when your drinks are ready. read more

Overall excellent experience and tasty ingredients, tea, and bouncy tapioca pearls! Get the large for $1 more 5/5 Coco Mango was so fruity, with real fresh mango puree and the tiny sago pearls and coconut cream. Pearls were warm and had a chewy bouncy texture. Drink tasted like summer! 4.5/5 Milk tea with taro and boba was also quite good I appreciate the real taro paste. It's not as sweet overall vs the fruit drink read more

I've only really ordered to go here (they don't really have indoor seating anyways), but I have really enjoyed trying their stuff ! They have good snacks and my family used to order their bentos. I appreciate this place because they have non-caffeinated, non-dairy cold drinks that are super delicious, like some of their coconut drinks. In the actual store itself, it looks like it's mainly ordering by kiosk and the servers are really there just to make the food and drinks (which is enough for me, to be honest). Although this isn't a place to linger (i.e., there's not much sitting indoors, there are some benches and tables outside though), I would recommend this place's drinks and snacks! read more

I went in on a Tuesday night and it was almost empty but it took 30 minutes to get my order. I guess the manager wasn't there because the employees were slacking off. Employees were eating BBQ Chicken (yes, they ordered takeout from the fried chicken restaurant in the same plaza) in the back and when the lady packed my order, she didn't wash her hands. read more

One of the best boba places in the bay area! Maybe even the best! The premium oolong tea with brown sugar boba is delicioussssss! I had it back to back 2 days and I'm not even a boba person to be honest. The decor is all pink and cute and they had a pretty busy evening but the drinks came out pretty quickly, about 5 mins after you order. This is gonna be my go to boba place for sure! read more

Great location at Cupertino village, parking garage available. We had crispy chicken burgers + grape green tea with tea jelly combo. It's so delicious Fried octopus and mango pomelo sago- nice If you order food and drinks together, please remember to take your drinks first, else they will wait till food is ready and serve together read more

Been getting the strawberry yogurt drink here and it was been amazing, it is very tasty but overly sweet at times. Also they come with strawberry boba bits which I'm not too big of a fan of. The drink is pretty small for $6.6 but it's a good mix of strawberry and yogurt. read more

One of our favorite milk tea place!! They constantly came up with new flavors. They have the best popcorn chicken in town!!

As Ume is a chain, I visited with high hopes. I sampled several drinks, but was quite disappointed with their classic teas. Their fruit drinks were better, perhaps the all-fruit options might be better yet. Overall, while Ume's classic tea drinks are subpar, it could be a good spot if you stick to the fruit tea or fruit blends. * Jasmine 15% way too sweet * Jasmine 30% tasted the same * Chose this because the black teas don't come with fresh milk read more

Terrible service. Waited 40 minutes for two orders of the mini octopus. Got the confirmation and it still wasn't ready. Then they proceeded to say they didn't get the receipt. Then we get the order and it's so little. read more

Solid drinks! Ume is always a solid boba choice. I love their taro toppings and mochi toppings. Their drinks are on the sweeter side so I would suggest a lower sugar level. The price is also very reasonable, so this is a great place for groups if you want something tasty and affordable. They also come out with the drinks very quickly so their service is solid. Overall, I would come here again! read more

This location is the one I mostly visit - mainly because it's close to a bunch of restaurants and 99 Ranch, so I can walk over and grab a drink after grocery shopping or having a meal. I enjoy their bento boxes - I've tried a variety of them on those days where I don't want to cook, fast food just doesn't sound appetizing and I don't want to go to a sit down restaurant. My favorite is the braised pork belly, but it seems like they don't have that anymore. Food is always consistent - I actually enjoy the sides/veggies a lot more than I should! Service is always consistent as well - I've ordered through the app (very convenient), on the kiosk inside the store (easy, simple) and with a worker as well (in order to redeem rewards points or if the kiosk is having issues). They are always nice and friendly, although communication may be difficult at times. I enjoy getting their surprise bunny cups, but it does get expensive for what you end up getting. I mainly enjoy the anticipation of what I'll get and I've been lucky to (mostly) get cute plushies while my friend hasn't been as lucky. I've tried a bunch of their drinks - overall good, but not my 1st choice for milk tea. The variety of drinks and "extras" make it fun, but flavor/quality wise - there are other places to get better drinks. I do like the mochi and come here when I'm craving that in my milk tea. read more

We stopped by on a Saturday for a mid afternoon snack. We got the Brown Sugar Boba Premium Oolong Milk Tea and the Fried Chicken Fillet. We placed our order online at 2:34pm and stopped by at about 3pm and the order was still not ready. It was eventually ready at 3:17pm, which was a total wait for 43 minutes. This seemed excessive and they didn't really say or do anything to apologize for the long wait. The place was not even as busy as usual. read more

Ume Tea - 3U Lychee and Watermelon Green Tea and 3U Mango Pomelo Sago - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Cupertino, California

Love the new Blossom Latte! They have it on promo for $3.99 right now which is such a steal considering so many other places are charging double for lesser drinks. While in the past I never considered Ume Tea as a favorite, the blossom latte changes everything and I now consider UT on par with Chagee, my favorite tea place overseas! Love that UT gave out free sample to try the Blossom Latte before buying! They now have the ultra thin straws that somehow make the tea taste 10x better. I looooooooooooooooove Ume Tea merch like the little plushies and the soft mini tote bags. Truly a pink paradise :) Oh! And the popcorn chicken is amazing. UT is def in my top 3 fav tea spots at the moment :) read more

The mango pomelo sago is the bee's knees. Easy to order and pickup was quick. Super cute and tasty. Good location, too.

I stopped by on Saturday to try the seasonal Rose Pistachio milk tea (strawberry rose milk tea with pistachio cream top). Ordering was quick and easy through the kiosks in front. My only complaint was wait time - there was only 1 person making drinks, so mine took 30 minutes despite no line and only a few people waiting for drinks before me. This is the same issue I had the last time I was here a few years ago, but I thought they would've fixed it by now since the place is still popular. I got the Rose Pistachio milk tea at 70% sweet with boba, which was perfect. It tasted great and reminded me of Indian sweets with similar flavors. It's too bad this is seasonal. I'd come back but I'd make sure to order online to avoid the long wait. read more

Ume Tea is one of my favorite milk tea spots of all time. Their seasonal drinks are always interesting and flavorful. I love pairing their drinks with their popcorn chicken. My girlfriend and I enjoy ordering the bunny surprise cups because we started collecting the tiny plushies together. Some of my favorite drinks include the Oreo Crème Brûlée Milk Tea, Grape Tea slushie, and the Mango Pamelo Sago. Food-wise, I enjoy their popcorn chicken and fried mini octopus a lot! Their portions are reasonable for the price charged. Fried tofu is also good if you're not into meats. Service-wise, it's perfect for introverted people because it doesn't force you to communicate up front. If you want to order your food and drink without saying a word, you can do so. This isn't really an issue I struggle with, but the employees also seemed pretty nice nonetheless. This location is small, but they have self ordering kiosks for an expedited ordering experience. There are also small seating areas outside their store if you want to dine-in (out in this case). Anytime I'm craving something sweet or a snack, I always look for an Ume tea around me. read more
