Overall: 5 stars Huge fan of the cute aesthetic of ume tea and very happy to see their expansion to Fremont. It's fascinating how festively decorated they are here compared to Palo Alto, almost so much it has become an inviting playground for youngsters to hangout with some Asian comfort food. Mandarin Iced Tea - refreshing citrus forward tea with intriguing texture coming from the chewy texture of the boba with a little texture coming from the water chestnut (?) within. Takoyaki - Classic octopus balls with all the fix ins of kewpie mayo, takoyaki sauce, and bonito flakes.

This would've been a two if I didn't enjoy their popcorn chicken so much. The good: their popcorn chicken - decent portion with great flavor and texture, although they could've done a better job of spreading out the spicy seasoning. The questionable - everything else. For drinks we got a lychee & watermelon green tea with boba and a creme brulee Thai tea with boba. The boba was too soft for my liking and didn't have much flavor. Both drinks looked much better in the pictures than in person where they, frankly, looked like a hot mess. First drink was fine...not bad...not good. Couldn't taste any Thai tea in the second drink and the creme brulee swirl was nonexistent. The thing that made me determined to write a review though was when we got our popcorn chicken and I was looking for the wood skewers to eat it with. I asked the cashier if the wood skewers in the front were clean to which he replied, "I think so" and went about his business. I was shocked and didn't respond and definitely walked out of the store without any utensils. Popcorn chicken might have been even better if I could've eat it fresh instead of driving 30 minutes home before trying it but an "I think so" is just not gonna fly with me. read more

Went to Ume Tea on a sunday evening. There was constant foot traffic in here, mostly teenagers. The decor is well, PINK. And adorned with a giant stuffed bunny outside. It's certainly not my aesthetic, but I guess it caters to kids and teens. Tried couple of teas (watermelon and passionfruit, strawberry and matcha) and popcorn chicken. What I loved about the boba tea was the actual pieces of watermelon - tea and ingredients were fresh and tasty! Popcorn chicken was okayish- it was kind of soggy and was a bit stale. I might come back to try out some of their mango based drinks, which seem popular. One of the observations I had was the staff wasn't very good at communication and seemed a little preoccupied (maybe it was the influx of orders). I had particularly ordered my tea with boba. On getting the order, I told the staff it was missing boba. He simply shrugged and asked if I want boba on the side. I am not sure if people have boba on the side in their teas (do they?!), but I requested him for another drink with the boba INSIDE. But overall, it was an average experience for me, but I might come back for some of the other teas and will probably have it to-go. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the drinks! Got the rice yogurt drink and the popping oat was super good. Also tried the matcha ice cream and it was just green vanilla ice cream :( Fantastic barista was very quick with the service and contributed to the bright ambiance. read more

Shortly after stepping out of my hair stylist's booth after getting a hair cut, I get a notification from my Doordash app showing a BOGO free deal from a boba place nearby. It was as if the app read my mind and knew I wanted some boba. Turns out, this place was Ume Tea which conveniently is located in the same shopping plaza as my stylist. The interior is decorated with incredibly cute aesthetics, and they had a cart outside with free samples that you could try. There are also several tables available if you opt to dine in. The BOGO offer was only available for the Passion Fruit Green Tea, which just so happened to be my go-to choice of boba flavors. It was like this deal was catered to me. I don't know if it was because I ordered more than 1 drink, or because my order was through Doordash, but they were stored in a very cute, insulated carry bag. When I walked back to my car, I decided to take out one of the drinks so I could enjoy it on my drive back home. It was a good thing I did too because it turned out they never put any straws in the bag. I wound up having to walk back to the store to get some. This is a huge oversight that they really should avoid in the future as it's really hard to properly drink boba without the boba straws. Additionally, they were using these really nice Lunar New Year cups at the time, which didn't have a great seal with the lid. While attempting to pick the cup up by the lid, it wound up spilling a huge portion all over my car when the lid popped right out. I'm sure their regular cups are fine. But be careful of their loose lids if you get a drink in any of their special holiday themed cups. What was left of my drink that did not spill was very good. The passion fruit was fresh and the boba had a nice chewy consistency. Not mushy or too firm. read more

Very busy during the weekends, but the staff does the best that they can to keep up. They have a decent selection of drinks (mostly on the sweet side) and the bunny theme is very cute! read more

I'm a fan of UME Tea but this experience left me feeling very frustrated. I waited about ten minutes in line to order three drinks. Twenty minutes later, still nothing so I checked in my order. The guy at the counter acknowledged my order but still ended up skipping me. My order was placed at 3:41pm. And I saw orders placed and printed at 3:58pm and still being serviced first. As I saw more tickets printed and my order was still pushed aside, I checked in again at 4:07pm and my order still wasn't ready. I checked again, this time with another employee. She acknowledged my order and still nothing. I checked in again for a third time and I can hear her say to complete my order in Mandarin like I was a difficult customer but I placed my order and paid for it. AND finally at 4:17pm, it was ready. Took nearly 36 minutes to get my three drinks, meanwhile, customers who placed their orders after me received their drinks first. Make no sense. I understand that the wait times can be very busy but the lack of service and disorganization between the employees running back and forth made this experience so awful. I'm very dissatisfied and disappointed with this experience. Lack of server, lack training, lack of communication, lack of understanding, lack of time management. read more

This may be one of my new favorite boba shops in the Bay! I don't know how I've never heard of them before, but I came here after a hike in need of a refreshing drink. I was enticed by their topping options since there were a lot of unique ones I hadn't seen before. I opted for the jasmine tea with taro and sticky rice. I LOVE sticky rice and this one did not disappoint - it was so chewy and well cooked and paired so well with the taro paste! I also liked the flavor of their jasmine tea, as you could really taste the floralness. I will be back! read more

This is the second Ume Tea in Fremont . It is located in the same parking lot as Pearl Bay restaurant and CHICHA San Chen 吃茶三千。 The inside decoration is very cute . It has displayed of some of the toys that you would get from purchasing a particular type of drinks . You could order in person or order with the kiosk machine . We got the pop corn chicken this time. It tasted excellent, fluffy , tasty and very tender inside . Portion was large boggy for 2 people. I have bad drinks Freon Ume tea before . Their recipes are more on the sweet side and It felt like a dessert more than a tea . It was not my favorite type of recipe. But I enjoyed going there with friends , chat and eat snacks . read more

Though drink options were unique, nothing really stood out. Would've liked to have more tea options or even classics like Thai tea or taro milk tea. Decided to get the mango coconut twilight. Basically dessert in a cup, though it did have some gelatinous substance (mochi maybe) that was able to fit through a straw, which was a fun surprise. Def LOADED with sugar, esp given the marshmallow topping. We ordered 2 drinks yet it took a long time for them to come out. Not a bad place but def not my cup of tea. Overall the place felt like it was for literal kids with the over the top PINK color everywhere and the Instagram-able corner. read more

I just moved to the area and was excited to see they had Ume Tea available. I placed my order online and it was ready in minutes. Seems like they have quick service (though it is a weekday around noon so maybe because people are at school / work). The interior looks new and clean. I was excited to get the Bunny Surprise Cup where there is a little plushie hidden in a compartment under your drink for about $4-5 extra. I was pretty disappointed with the one I received. Looks like an animal face on a green ball. Very small and not cute. At other Ume Tea, locations, I have received a full size animal plushie (sometimes even Sanrio). This made my experience not as great. The drinks themselves are good! I recommend the Mango Yogurt Smoothie (comes with mango topping and crystal boba). Very nice for a summer day if you don't want caffeine. read more

I was in the area and decided to try their Dubai chocolate shake, 30% sweet, standard ice (they don't allow any modification on the ice), medium (which is the only size they offer for the shake). The pistachios really taste like they took the plain nuts and grinded them up into a drink, which is interesting and not necessarily bad, I'm just used to places with pistachio drinks having a very concentrated and sweet pistachio flavor. I was expecting a stronger chocolate flavor though, the chocolate was disappointingly rather muted. I'm not too familiar with how Dubai chocolate is supposed to taste but nothing particularly stood out to me about the chocolate part of it, and I figure Ume was just trying to hop onto the Dubai chocolate trend. At the bottom of the drink, though, the nuts were more concentrated and I thought that was fun and savory so that was the good part of the drink. I wouldn't get this drink again especially given it's one of their most expensive drinks. This location does have a few tables outside, and they had a dispenser with oolong milk tea samples inside. I also appreciate that their speed of making drinks is fairly quick compared to other Ume locations. It took about 9 minutes based on when I got the text notifying me my drink was ready. When I went to the other Fremont location, it had taken nearly twice as long for my drink, and when I've gone to the Cupertino location in the past, it has often taken around half an hour. read more

This is the best location that serves local pop-ups on Saturdays. So far, the events are more anime theme and aimed towards teens and adults in their 20s. The Pinkalicious car show had cute pink sports cars, yet it was only a two hour event. I also encountered a cosplay event with a few small vendors selling handmade prints, keychains, and jewelry, which were a bit expensive as SJMade. Overall their Guava Yogurt Series are so good, so does their popcorn chicken and fries combo. They even offer a loyalty program to earn points for a free drink or snack, which is free to sign up on the kiosk. Remember to apply your loyalty membership every time you order. Expect to wait in line for the kiosk for 20 minutes, then your order for 20-25 minutes, and park farther during the weekends. While you wait, it's best to walk around the plaza until you receive a text of your order pickup. read more

My friend and I got the Coco Mango Jasmine Bloom and Grape Green Tea w/ Tea Jelly. The Coco Mango Jasmine Bloom was good and the toppings all worked well together. I sipped on it throughout a wedding and it still tasted good. The Grape Green Tea w/ Tea Jelly was refreshing and had the perfect amount of sugar. A lot of people at the wedding also had boba. Safe to say people were enjoying their drinks read more

I've frequented the Ume Tea location on Stevenson and was excited to see a new location pop up in Fremont. This was previously the Green Bubble location (another boba shop). My first time at this location was during their opening week when they had various giveaways such as totes, stickers, bogo deals, etc. The location is larger than the other Fremont location. It has more tables and chairs, bar stools, and a cute backdrop for photos. They also have seating outside, which a ton of people were using and enjoying their drinks. I went again for the second time and it was a different experience. If you haven't been to an Ume Tea before, you probably wouldn't know what to get unless you spend time looking through the menu at the kiosk when you're about to order or crowded around the screen near the cashier. They definitely need more menus on their TVs, instead it was showing Ume tea advertisements. For some reason, they didn't have their AC running so it was very warm in there. With the crowd of people inside and outside waiting to order and for their drinks on an already warm summer day, it did not feel great waiting in there. Luckily, I ordered an iced green tea with lychee jelly and got my drink fairly quickly. read more

Overall rating: 5/5 Came around 8pm on a Wednesday night and there were quite a few people grabbing drinks and hanging out. Ume Tea is a bright and pink boba shop with cutesy decor. It's located in Pacific Common so there's ample parking. There's seating inside and a small table outdoors. I ordered: -Mango Pomelo Sago (5/5): very well balanced and a must try if you're a mango lover. I loved how the drink was not too sweet and the taste of pomelo also came through. The sago gave the drink nice texture. Would I come back? Yes, it's a cute spot to grab boba Would I recommend? Yes! read more

Not the greatest experience todI came to this location with an online order to pick-up ahead today at 2:30pm. I placed my order an hour early and got the Mango Jasmine Bloom. It's like a mango slushie so the consistency shouldn't be watery. But when I picked up my order around 2:45pm, the drink was so watery. I looked at the drink tag/receipt and the drink was made and sitting around 1:44pm. When I asked the cashier in the front, she confirmed it was made over 45 min ago and I double checked my tag that said to pick up 2:30pm. Logically when you order ahead of time, places dont make drinks until closer to the pick-up time. So I requested if I could have it remade since the drink had been sitting for an hour and it's all melted. The girl in the front gave me like a "what do you want me to do about it" face and looked reluctant to help. And then said that I would have to wait a long time since they have other orders. I just took my melted drink bc it didnt look like she didn't have the means to help me remake my drink. But honestly, what I really didn't like was the way the girl looked at me like I was unreasonable to make the request when the drink was sitting out for a while. Not to group all the other workers, but I think customer service could've been better from her. read more

This is another Fremont location of Ume Tea, which is at Pacific Commons. The atmosphere is quite different compared to the one that's near Newpark Mall. I actually didn't really know about it until I walk past by it when I was getting coffee. I really like how boba tea comes in few different sizes compared to other boba shops, which usually serves boba in taller cups. There's not much plentiful of options here, but not every boba shop needs to have that. This is a convenient location for me if I ever to stop by at Pacific Commons and want to get boba here. read more

Ume has a TON of drink options so there's something for everyone - fruit teas, slushies, fruit & milk, slushies, etc. I ordered the Coco Mango with 30% sweetness. It was still pretty sweet though, so next time I would go with 0%, but it's a great alternative to HeyTea! read more

It seems like Ume is popping up everywhere now but I'm not mad about it! This location in Fremont took over Mr. Green Bubble and has pinkified and bunnyfied everything. There are a few tables and counter seats for hanging out, but it could get crowded with larger parties. Ordering is easily done on a kiosk, in person, or QR code. Our favorite is the Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Milk Tea. We love a good boba milk tea but the mochi topping is something that makes Ume stand out from the sea of boba shops. The mochi is chewy and drinkable and not just balls of starch. Excited for Ume to be here! read more

This location is really cute. I like the bunny decor. I ordered my drink ahead. The staff were efficient with getting all the orders ready. I got the "spicy mango" which is really a Mangonada. Many smoothie with chamoy and tajin. It was very refreshing. It would take it to the next level if there were fresh chopped mango pieces of top like a traditional Mangonada. My go to order is usually the coco mango. I love the mixture of the coconut, mango and grapefruit. I love that there are caffeine free options. I also have tried the mango mango which is also really good. I will be back! read more

I ordered the fruit tea and chicken combo. Chicken is juicy but fries is ok. I would probably come back to try other different drinks. Service is fast and they were helpful when we aak questions.

I saw the grand opening sign outside and had to check it out. Unfortunately, I'm giving this a low rating based on the value of the drink compared to its price. I ordered a mango drink and added boba. The boba was soft and chewy, and it had a generous amount of mango bits, which was a plus. However, there was too much ice, despite my request for less. The drink itself was overpriced, and I had upgraded it for a toy. I expected the toy to be a cute bunny, but it ended up being flimsy and unimpressive. I could easily find something better quality at Temu. Overall, the grand opening wasn't as exciting as I had hoped; I didn't receive any discount on the drink. On a positive note, the ambiance inside is super cute and great for pictures. read more

Actually very yummy boba, even if the store is quite a bit pink, fluffy, and extra haha. It's an interesting ambiance. We picked up a coconut mango pomelo drink with sago after enjoying lunch at one of the restaurants in the same plaza and it was a good post lunch treat! Ordering on mobile was easy and the drink was ready soon after the text indicated. We liked that they didn't skimp on the fruit - the mango and grapefruit portions were generous, and the fruit was ripe and sweet. The flavor of the jasmine tea in the drink was strong and nicely complemented the rest. On the weekend they also offered samples of some other drinks too. Drinks priced typically at ~$6-8 for a large, plus more for extras or toppings or the fancy cup read more

I don't know how many times I have to give a chances to this place. It always took a long time to deliver the food after the order had been placed. This time we waited more than 45 mins and still didn't get our food. Went to ask the lady and her replied was still making. Then, she told me the machine was disconnected after we asked give times for our food. Aren't you supposed be honest to the customer at the beginning. I wasn't try to give the casher a hard time, but hearing she argued with the kitchen, I felt bad for her. Plus, There was no AC in 90 degrees in waiting. That was a terrible service. And unacceptable. No wonder everyone rather to go to the next door instead. read more

UMe never disappoints me, the chili bbq popcorn chicken is amazing and their drinks are always great. I had the coco mango and mango jasmine bloom, they're all awesome.

New boba spot in the Bay Area! Located inside an outside mall plaza area so there is lots of parking. They recently opened so I wanted to visit. I came on Saturday afternoon. When I first walked in, it was very busy outside and inside with no room to sit. They were pretty packed. They had three kiosks and someone also taking orders. So many fruit teas, milk teas, matcha, snacks, and more! I visited and this boba spot is so cute. The interior is so nice and has so many cute decorations. I've visited other Ume Tea locations + this is their newest one. We ordered the Passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly + boba, strawberry matcha latte, mango matcha latte, and salt/pepper popcorn chicken. My favorite drink was the strawberry matcha latte, but all were so delish! The salt + pepper popcorn chicken was so crispy and crunchy. Will definitely be back! read more
