My family and I visited this place and we were not greeted or acknowledged. Top of that, we waited too long for our orders but the person who ordered after us, received her order almost the same time as ours. Not even any apologies or anything for the wait either from the staff at this place. read more

I discovered Ume Tea on Instagram, and intrigued by the novelty of the "Bunny Surprise" plushie cups, I decided to give it a try to see how it compares to other local boba shops. Since you can only order certain beverages in the "Bunny Surprise" cups - House Milk Tea, White Peach Oolong Milk Tea, Oreo Milk Tea, and Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea - I ordered the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea because I was craving something fruity. Placing and customizing my order (sweetness, ice level, toppings) on the kiosk was simple and efficient, and my beverage was ready for pick-up within five minutes. When I picked up my drink, I was surprised to see that it was topped with whipped cream and a Biscoff cookie. I would not have expected this to pair well with peach-flavored tea; however, the whipped cream added a pleasant richness to the beverage. The peach flavor of the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea (30% sweetness, light ice) was very subtle, but overall, I found the beverage to be light and refreshing. The boba seemed slightly melted, but the flavor was fine. The plushie is stuffed inside a hidden compartment at the bottom of the cup. After much anticipation, I opened the secret compartment and discovered a pink dinosaur plushie wearing a fedora. The Bunny Surprise cup was fun to try, but next time, I'd probably forego the extra cost of the plushie and order a normal-sized beverage. I enjoyed the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea, and next time, I'd want to try one of their shaken fruit teas. read more

We tried the strawberry match , mango pomelo sago, and fries. The strawberry matcha was delicious, the mango pomelo sago was not my favorite the taste was a bit bitter and on the sour side, fries were fresh and very flavorful. The service was great and very friendly. I took off 1 star because the pricing was a bit on the high end for the sizes that they were serving. read more

They were open on New years day, yay! I had called a few boba shops to see who was open and Ume tea came through. We were on our way back from Sac and wanted to end the 1st day off right with boba. The shop is located in a shopping area near Safeway, and it's right next to TOGO's and Sports clips. We snagged a spot right outside the shop. It wasn't busy at the time and we were able to browse the menu and order without waiting. Ume tea has a nice selection of fresh tea, milk tea, smoothies and a few seasonal items. They also have milk tea with drinkable mochi if you want that chewy bouncy texture whilst you're sip sippin'. You order at the kiosk and select your drink, toppings, sugar and ice level. The drinks come in a sturdy disposable cup with their rabbit mascot on the right and logo on the back. It can definitely reuse, which is what I did. I ordered the passion fruit green tea with a splash of lime with lychee jelly and boba. Ordered with 50% sweetness and less ice. It was refreshing and had good passion fruit lime flavaflav. My friend ordered the creme brulee milk tea with pudding and boba and he quite liked it. He's pretty picky when it comes to drinks. My friend wanted to go off the grid and ordered the hot 24 carat corn milk with jelly. The corn milk looked interesting with chunks of blended corn. I didn't taste it but my friend said it was unique. They didn't strain the corn pieces so she took it home and did it herself. She said the flavor was pretty minimal but a hint of jasmine green tea. She added some salt and condensed milk to make the flavorful more lively. lol So I guess, don't order the corn milk unless you want to experiment. The shop was small with a few tables to post up at. They have a long bench where you can sit and hang out with their plushies. And they have a few board games you can set up and play. If you want so kawaii reusable cups, they some double wall tumblers with their rabbit and you can get a rabbit cup holder. Overall, good drink menu, reasonably priced and quick service. I'd definitely come back to try more of their drinks! read more

Although it is small (2-3 tables), it is a good hangout spot. I ordered and pickup my sago drink, this is one of two stores in Davis that has sago. Enjoyed my drink, I got 30% sugar (not sweet at all, so definitely increase if you like more sweet mango flavor). I got there early and was able to pick up my drink, so very quick service. Ume also has many variety of milk tea, fruit tea, and snacks, so there's an option for everyone. read more

Cute boba spot in Davis with unique drink toppings. I don't usually see boba cafes with sago or ice cream as options for inside the drinks, so that was nice to try.

I'm a sucker for plushies and boba, so when I saw this place I had to come out of my way to give it a try! I originally saw this place on IG for the Bay Area locations, so was super excited to see one closer to home (EG). I was also happy to see that the prices for the cute plushie surprise drink weren't outrageous (like an additional $3; both my drinks were under $10). Tried the boba & mochi milk tea and the passion fruit green tea with boba & jelly. I'm not really a fan of mochi custard as a topping (despite loving mochi), but reviews raved about it so I had to give it a try. I was glad that there was an option with both boba and mochi toppings. The passion fruit was ok. My mom ordered it at 50% sweetness, which she thought was still too sweet but I would've preferred regular, 100% sweetness (I thought it was a bit tart) so that's just our personal preferences. I like that there are no passion fruit seeds in the drink. Neither drink stood out/was memorable, but I would still come back just for the plushie xP. But, on that note, I was disappointed in the plushies we got. I had seen what others got and was hoping for a cute little sanrio one or even a bunny. Instead I got some monster looking thing? I've seen worse, but to me, this is not much better. Luckily my 2 year old likes it and they appear to be good quality, though. Also wanted to note that I had read in other reviews that you could only get certain drinks with the surprise cup, but they said I could get any drink with it (not sure if this is a recent change - I came in mid-July 2023). Service was good. It looked like they had a self-serve kiosk, but a worker took our order - which I like because I usually have questions the first time I visit. They made our drinks in less than 5 minutes, so we were in and out of there in like 10 min! Cute interior with lots of plushies. Unfortunately, some are pretty dirty but that's what happens when everyone touches them lol. A couple tables as well. Parking lot can be pretty busy, but I always find a space. read more

Delicious - boba has good bounce and chew, great decaf options. Tasty - would come back again.

I first tried Ume Tea when I took the Sacramento River Boba Train last summer and they were one of the vendors on board. I loved their mochi topping and I was excited to try more of it. Fast forward many months later, I finally made my way into the actual storefront in Davis. It's located in a very busy shopping center but luckily we got parking right in front. Even though school is out and it was the middle of a Monday, it was actually still pretty busy inside. They had just opened up for the day at 12pm but there was a steady stream of customers as well as pickup orders. Good to see that business is strong! Despite us having a large order of 5 drinks and popcorn chicken, everything was actually ready pretty quickly in about 10 mins. We would've been out faster but we had to wait a couple extra mins for the popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was very yummy and I liked that it didn't have too much batter. It was a perfect snack for our drive home. Oreo Brulee Boba Milk Tea: perfect sweetness and love the fresh boba. White Peach Oolong Tea with Cheese Foam: I loved the flavor of the tea itself! I thought I had ordered a blended one but this looked like just an iced tea. I like the cheese foam but it doesn't sit well so you really need to drink it quickly. Strawberry Matcha with Green Tea Ice Cream: this was so delicious! I'm a big strawberry matcha fan and this was so creamy. It could've used even more strawberry since the matcha ice cream adds extra green tea flavor. Taro & Mochi Black Tea Latte: the fresh mochi is my favorite topping! Also just a warning this is fresh taro so if you're not a fan of that texture then you should not get this drink. The drink itself was a bit watery, the sweetness level is fixed on this one but I didn't taste much sweetness at all. I'd probably skip this and just get the mochi on a different drink. Thai Tea Brulee: delicious and pretty standard drink, the brulee makes it pretty but doesn't add much for flavor. Overall good experience here at Ume! There are a lot of boba shops in this small town so it can be difficult to stand out. They definitely have some quality drinks here and I'd recommend it to anyone coming to this area! read more

Ume Tea - White Peach Oolong Fresh Milk Tea and Crème Brulee Thai Tea w/ Crme Brle (CRM-BL 2) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Davis, California

It's about U (but Not Me) Didn't feel it for this new milk tea shop. The reviews from the recent Yelp event all sounded great and so I bookmarked it and was excited to try it in the future. Why wouldn't it be 5-stars it was a free Yelp sponsored event after all... but I came here today for the first time and didn't enjoy the drink. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered a Mango Pomelo Sago and the Strawberry Green Tea Slush w/ Cheese Top (mine). They were both under the Slush menu but it didn't have the texture of slush, it was more like crushed ice. The drink tasted watery with little taste of fruit or strawberry or even green tea. My hubby wasn't flattered with his drink either. Neither one of us enjoyed it. Disappointing. The shop was filled to its brim with young adults just hanging out. Both the inside and outside seating were full. The decorations were cutesy with stuffed animals that are attractive for the young. "Young" I meant college kids. We almost felt out of place. It was hard to hear the person taking our orders because of the noise level. I had to go to the pick up side to check and see if they had called our number. They should invest on some type of digital order number display so customers know when our number is called. It was noisy and crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Tea for "U" but not for "me," maybe I'll try the food next time and have a better experience. To be continued... Review #2559 read more

Although all you think about is what boba drink to order but if you leave without getting that popcorn chicken you have messed up! Fast forward to our experiences here we did exactly that but our excuse was we were meeting besties for lunch elsewhere. So yes we returned within a few days later & ordered that popcorn chicken. Omgosh did I die & go to heaven? Yes I think I did. That. Popcorn. Chicken. Was. That. GOOD! So the next time both wifey & I ordered each our own popcorn chicken & she also ordered the fried shrimp that comes with French fries. She did enjoy them! We did have the ground pork bento but we thought it was way too salty for our own tastes. So we will NOT order that again. Wifey's favorite drink here is the passion fruit green tea watermelon drink, O sugar, less ice. She has had that same drink without the watermelon & with a few different toppings. She prefers it without them. She has tried the grape tea drink with jelly & it was just okay for her. She said too much jelly! I just recently tried the mango pomelo sago which was tasty even at 0 sugar. Wifey is pretty pleased with the fruit tea drinks here at 0 sugar as they still are very flavorful. Satisfying... We will definitely return in the future. Wish they had a Ume Tea in Sacramento or even in Elk Grove! They are in the Bay Area like at least four to five different locations! Good to know if we need a drink somewhere there. It would make a nice pit stop right? Lol you probably noticed I'm Yelp Elite but no we didn't attend that Yelp Elite event they had here earlier in the year. So in all fairness my review is based on the several visits we have traveled to here. At least they are conveniently located & parking is not too HTF. Service is pretty good too. They definitely deserve the five stars here! Also know they have a rewards system. We found out after our second visit. Duh. Wifey got her reusable bunny tumbler too! Woohoo! Happy wife! Happy life! So blessed for these little things in life. read more

Excellent addition to the myriad of milk tea places in town! In order to stand out now, boba shoppes have to either have high quality or unique items. Ume has both! The drinks and snacks at Ume are really great. The teas are full of complex flavors with a huge amount of fun selections that you can make. Some of my favorites are the tiramisu and coconut taro drinks. If you're not in the mood for milk tea, you can get fruit teas and slushies. The standout snack item for me at Ume is the popcorn chicken. It comes out piping hot and the texture is just right! Splash some peppers on it and they'll be good to go! There are a few selections that you won't find at Ume. For example, there surprisingly isn't a regular taro milk tea or mango milk tea. These flavors are pretty much staples of most boba places. The menu is full of great things to order, but just be mindful that a few things may not be there. read more

Ume is one of the newer boba places in Davis, and I think it's pretty solid. It's a cute little shop with plushies lined up on a bench and drawings of bunnies on the wall. Here are my thoughts on the drinks I have tried: Strawberry Matcha Milk Tea (5/5) -- This is a good strawberry matcha drink. I like that they add matcha ice cream so it is a little sweeter, and it has more matcha flavor compared to other strawberry matcha drinks I've tried. Taro Milk w/ Coconut Pudding (5/5) -- I think what threw me off for this drink was that the taro has a subtle flavor, so it's a little more on the milky side. Nonetheless, it's still a good drink, and I've grown to like it. Taro & Mochi Black Tea Latte (1/5) -- I got this drink on grand opening day. We waited in line for over two hours, so I was left disappointed when the drink was flavorless and watery. The one saving grace that made me come back...the mochi topping. Thai Tea w/ Crème Brûlée (5/5) -- For a sweet tooth like me, I really like this drink. It's very rich and creamy. Unfortunately for those who get anything less than 100% sweetness, this is one of those drinks that you can't modify. I think what's unique about Ume is that it has the mochi topping which I've never had before. However, be wary as my friends and I would grab our drinks and go home to find that there was no mochi in our drinks on MULTIPLE occasions. It came to the point where we had to watch the workers make it or drink it at the store to make sure there was mochi in it. Just a word of caution. Overall, I would recommend it to others to try it. read more

A spot as cute as the photos. Lots of traditional and creative bubble tea options. Get custom with your sweetness and ice via an order screen or go old fashioned like me and talk to a human. We got a combination of speciality and traditional drinks. Everyone in the party was happy. They did put boba in one that was supposed to be boba-free... They remade it very quickly and even gave us the wrong one to take with us for free. There are a number of places for bubble tea near Ume, but I'm glad we ended up here! read more

I love ume tea! It's fairly new and I've been there a few times already. They have really unique drinks as well as good tarp chunks! I personally love the cookies and cream because they have a unique was of layering the drink with a sweet foam, boba and then the milk tea. The inside is really cute and they have plushies, but with the amount of traffic they get the inside pink bench is already all dirty and unwelcoming :( The space inside is a little small with just 3/4 seating areas but they have outside seating as well. The boba is really good tho! read more

We decided to stop here as it was on the way home. I ordered the Black Tea Latte w/ boba and taro. I had a hard time with the first sip as it contained taro chunks. I thought it was going to be more of a purée. The boba was too soft. Overall, it was just an ok experience. read more

I tried this place for the first time this week. I ordered the chicken combo with fries and a drink. The first impression was that this place is very dirty. When I opened my food, there was human hair that was on the food and I immediately got grossed out and threw the food away. I do not recommend this place and will not be returning. read more

When you order, just go underneath the sign pointing to the screen and place order there. People tend to gather where you pickup food so it can be a little confusing who's waiting for food vs who's waiting to order. Really tasty passion fruit watermelon tea. I added lychee to my drink for a bit of texture. They add a bit of watermelon pieces to it as well. Ordered fried shrimp and was pleasantly surprised by how it was fried and that it was shrimp paste formed for bigger sticks rather than a single shrimp flayed out. The fries sitting under the shrimp were bland and limp. I think they may have been soaked in oil too long. Just not enough crunch and forgetful. Not sure I'd try the fries by themselves based off that. I enjoyed the station after you pickup your drink and food to season your items and choose different straws or utensils. I'm curious to try other drinks. Like the Oreo brûlée. read more

I used their website to order a milk tea with boba (50% sugar) to go for $4.95 - and it was ready for pickup when it said it would be - within 15 min. Note that the pre-orders can be picked up on the right side of the counter - you don't have to wait in the order line (which was a learning curve for me since I lined up behind two people and then waited...) But overall good caffeine kick from this tea and tasty bobas. Also, super cute interiors and bunny rabbit on the top of the cup! read more

I stopped by today and ordered the Bunny Surprise Milk Tea and I got the Mochi Red Bean Milk Tea flavor, + and order of popcorn chicken! There were two others that ordered ahead of me at the register but I decided to order at the kiosk since I couldn't decide what to get when I arrived. As soon as I walked in I was instantly greeted. The staff was very nice and got each order out in a timely manner. I did not have to wait long after ordering which was nice! The popcorn chicken was hot and delicious. I didn't get a sauce with it, but not sure if there was an option to add that OR if I had to ask for one, but no biggie. I still enjoyed it without the sauce. As for my drink, I forgot to add boba so that was bad on my part lol. I got the 120% sweetness, but it didn't taste as sweet as I thought it would be. I wish this location was closer to me. I live in Elk Grove and have to drive all the way out to Davis for the BSMTs. Hopefully they decide to open another location! I'll definitely come back to Ume! read more

I had Ume Tea back in the bay so I kinda had a good baseline to compare this place. I got the mango pomelo sago and being honest, I wasn't really into the mango slush part. I would honestly prefer it to not be a slush. The taste wasn't bad though. I think if anyone gets this drink, it'd be best to let the drink melt a bit and have the pomelo shine in this drink. Pricewise, it was kinda pricey. I do love the interior though! It looks really good! There's also a kiosk there so ordering can be fast depending on the person in front of you. The drinks come out in a timely manner as well. I would definitely recommend this drink if you're at Davis on a really hot day though! read more

What a cute little spot in Davis, the interior is small but has enough space for people to sit. We got attended by a very kind lady, she mentioned the drinks she recommended and the drinks that weren't available for the day. I felt like the drinks were alright. The slushy I got, was already pretty watery and seemed like there was no sweetness put into it. My husband had gotten the taro, he didn't like it that much but he said it might've been just his personal taste for the taro. Will come back, and try other drinks! read more

My first thoughts on this place was that it was really cute! The merch they offered were adorable. My friends and I went there for the plushie cups we saw on social media. The staff were really friendly and patient. The boba shop offered payment through a kiosk or at the register. The wait wasn't too long either, even though the place was packed (we went around 4:30 PM). On to the drinks: we ordered White peach oolong milk tea, Oreo Brulee Boba Milk Tea, White Peach Oolong Tea. The stuffed animals with the cup were adorable! The drinks were ok. The peach oolong milk tea (3/5) didn't have a strong peach flavor, and was a bit too watery. The Orea Brulee Boba Milk Tea (2/5) was very bland. I did enjoy the texture of the boba though. The white peach oolong tea (4/5) wasn't as watered down the milk tea. The peach flavor was more prominent. My friend enjoyed this one! read more

We got the Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Milk Tea, Oreo Creme Brûlée Boba Milk Tea, and Taro & Mochi Black Tea Latte. The creme brûlée is super sweet so get 50% sweet. Also, the creme brûlée is kind of thick for my liking but it reminds me of the one from happy lemon! The mochi topping was interesting would definitely recommend trying at least once. It has sort of a soft chewy texture and was a bit hard to suck up the straw. The popcorn chicken was alright but nothing special. The store itself is really cute and theres a lot of cute photo ops for ig! Also, I would not recommend studying here because the tables are a bit low so save your back and study somewhere else. ig: tiffsfoodreview read more
