Love the drinks here -- flavor is always really good. Only thing is the wait is kinda long every time. Still worth it though, 4 stars. read more

Ume Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Despite how busy they are, the staff is always pleasant. If you really insist (because you have a gift card that can't be used on the digital system) they'll immediately make eye contact and politely take your order at the register. I've tried several of their drinks and have enjoyed every one. Their chicken strips and popcorn chicken are really popular with the kiddos. The chicken strips can be ordered plain without any seasoning at all. The popcorn chicken are still a little spicy from the white pepper, even when ordered mild. Unfortunately, during peak hours, expect to have some free time. They have multiple employees working the kitchen, but with many people making bigger orders, a longer wait is understandable. read more

Ok I ordered the brown sugar mochi black tea and it wasn't what I expected. The mochi was kinda gross IMO. But my daughter had the brown sugar oolong tea which she enjoyed because she drank the entire thing! The storefront was cute and pink. I paid 4.50$ more for the little surprise plushie inside the cup. It's cute! The line moved fairly quickly and the drinks were made pretty quick as well. Next time I'll have to order something else to try! read more

The workers here are nice and friendly. The one down side is you have to go into the mall. The wait can be pretty long. Love some of their drinks. It's so delicious and lot overly sweet. They use to make a rice bowl that I love to get but they stop selling it. This place is right next to a mini market kiosk and Dave and Busters. Entrance 5 is where you want park by if you want to go in and out. read more

This location of Ume is delish! I loveee their matchas! They're surprisingly smooth and creamy. Love their strawberry matcha and the just came out with the strawberry cloud coco and I love that one even more! The coconut jelly bits on the bottom remind me of a firmer melo melo jelly, soooo goooood. Everything is a bit on the sweet side so make sure to dial down the sugar level during customization. read more

Ume Tea - Strawberry Cloud Matcha Coco - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Love the drink, especially blossom milk tea. It was flavorful and tasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was a bit busy because it's closer to the holidays but I got my drink pretty quickly. I like how there were two kiosks to order from so you don't get stuck waiting on someone who's taking a long time on the kiosk. I got their coco mango jasmine bloom in the default regular size but didn't realize how small the cups were! I remember when I got their same drink in their Santa Clara location (same drink and same size of a medium) it was in a much bigger cup. So that was disappointing. I wonder if it's because their location is in the mall. I would probably go to their other location since there is another one in Milpitas rather than visiting this one again read more

Ume Tea - [UMe]Coco Mango Jasmine Bloom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Came by with a friend on Black Friday, so there was a slight wait to order at the kiosks, but it wasn't too long! After ordering, we got our orders in less than 10 min. - Coconut Mango Jasmine Bloom - I got 50% sugar for this, and though the drink itself was enjoyable, I couldn't taste the jasmine at all. - Boba Milk Tea with Mochi - my friend ordered this and liked the mochi! It was still warm when she was drinking it Overall good but nothing mind blowing. I also didn't expect the default medium sizes to be so small - for $7+ per drink after tax, I would've expected a bigger cup. Would be open to trying their other drinks! read more

Ume Tea - HOW THE STORE LOOKS!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Love Ume tea! This location is okay. We got our usual mango coconut and lychee watermelon but they looked different than our usual from either Mt View, Santa Cruz or Los Gatos- we got our usual light ice and 50 percent sweet. The fried tofu was soggy. The takoyaki was liked by the SO. read more

Ume tea was very refreshing. I got the Watermelon lLychee. The cashier was friendly and made a recommendation to lower the sweetness on a green tea. The counter was clean and free from clutter. Since it's in the mall it does stand out given y the store is bright pink! read more

Ume is a great place for an Asian drink inside the Great Mall! They have a big selection and it's quite popular. Definitely recommend ordering via the QR code instead of having to wait in line to order! I got the coco mango, very enjoyable and would definitely come back again! read more

Delicious food. Friendly staff and super efficient. My kids love this place! Popcorn chicken and mango smoothies are our go tos after a long day of jumping at the trampoline park across the way read more

This Ume Tea location still isn't better than other Ume locations, but it's a tiny stand, convenient and good to have inside the Great Mall in Milpitas. I only go for the 5/5 good tasting cloud drink: mango coconut twilight because of the flavors and colors. It's very good to have at all Ume locations. I like it. Experience wasn't as great during grand opening here and to be honest, the wait time nowadays still takes a long 15-20 minutes before getting the drink after ordering around lunch hour on weekdays. I came here a few times throughout the year and there's always a new staff member there. Lines are usually busy. Ume's beverages are a bit small in size and higher priced compared to other places for similar value. Customers are usually happy with their orders though. Cashier was ok this time. At least the lids and packaging are fine now. No leaks or bursts. The mango coconut twilight beverage is worth it for sure. read more

I like this place. Their rice yogurt seasonal drink is honestly really good, refreshing, and something you don't see everywhere. They also have a big variety of milk teas , and so many of them are actually yummy, not just pretty on the menu. The drinks taste clean and well balanced, and the shop has good flow. If you haven't tried Ume Milk Tea yet, give it a shot. It's one of those places you end up coming back to. Oh the service is good very friendly the steasy-going read more

Cute decor, good variety in the menu with several drink types I like, and I believe the only boba spot inside Great Mall (I do not count those froyo spots as legit boba lol). The Lychee & Watermelon Green Tea was a great thirst quencher for my stroll around the mall and I always appreciate boba spots that allow me to adjust my sugar and ice levels. 4/5 for the drink itself - it meets my needs, but it's not the best I've had in terms of quality of tea flavor. -1 star overall for charging a service fee at a kiosk. This is getting ridiculous. read more

Ordered a coco mango zero sweetness and it was perfect. It was such a refreshing drink. Loved the coco jelly and mango.

Good service and big selection! Workers are friendly and accommodating! Drinks and chicken taste great

Very Refreshing and fresh tea. I got the thai tea with creme breulee. Wish they has the ice adjustment to zero as well. As during winter no ice is mich preferred. The other drink i had was the oreo ceeme brulee boba oolang with 50 % sugar & no ice. The drink was nice but the sweetness was off limits . The service was quick and easy. read more

Viral for their surprise cups (aka $3.50 random plushies), this is actually a really solid spot for boba in the plaza! They have a pretty unique menu! Service is quick and there's a few tables inside to sit. Cute pink interior, and prices are reasonable. Drinks I recommend: + Osmanthus Longan Green Tea Slush + Blossom Latte + Purple Rice Milk Tea + Rice Mochi Milk Tea read more

Ume Tea - Osmanthus Longan Green Tea Slush, Purple Rice Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

Nice pit stop for boba in the mall. The drinks were refreshing and a good energy boost from all the shopping. I got the peach oolong milk tea and loved it! The peach flavor complimented the tea well and wasn't overpowering. My friends got the mango yogurt and the lychee rose fruit tea. The mango drink tasted like an indian mango lassi (no complaints here) and the lychee rose was more lychee with a hint of rose which was what we were hoping for anyways. Everyone was happy with their orders! Ordering process itself is at a kiosk. The drinks are pricey and taxed on top of all the drink/toppings costs. So not sure it was worth $8+ but it was good. read more

The location is inside great mall so there are crowds and it can get busy and loud. You can order at the counter where they have a paper menu or via the computer. Really enjoy my refreshing Logan osmanthus tea slush with aiyu jelly. I got it 50% sweet and it was still sweet. It may be due to the aiyu jelly. I like the light Logan taste and fragrant osmanthus tea. Hubby also like his mango mango which has a creamy mango taste. He really enjoyed it. I'm sure we will be seeing more of this place. read more

While a little pricey this tea was amazing! I had the creme brûlée Thai tea, with added boba and Cristal boba and in their special cup with the key chain. The ladies were all really nice and were cooing at my daughter. I liked that I could order from a kiosk so I could see all of my options. The cafe has this really cute pink theme with a bunny. I will definitely have to try some other treats. My sister loved the little bear at the bottom of my cup read more

good drinks, their milk teas can be a bit underwhelming and not super fresh tasting, but their fruit teas are great. i love their mochi topping but their boba isn't always super fresh tasting either. ume's can be a bit inconsistent imo so it might just be this location in great mall! read more

Ume Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Milpitas, California

This is the best Ume place I go, Elaine is the best, so accomodating to cuatomers, keep it up!

It's the only boba stop I go to while shopping in Great Mall. There will be fewer lines and faster wait unless it's the holiday or big promotion season, which can go up to the next two stores. Their fruit teas are always not too sweet or plain when I order at 50% sweetness with good toppings. Their store is so cute, including the merch. You can sit at any bench around the mall to enjoy a snack and a drink or walk around with it. I prefer to order on a touchscreen since the cashier hides in the back on slow days and I don't have to talk as an introvert lol. read more

My sister and I shared a coconut jasmine mango slushie and it was perfect -- bursting with fresh mango chunks and had a lovely balance of sweetness/fruitiness/floral jasmine tea flavor. Our drink came out relatively quickly too! Will definitely be my go to mango coconut drink whenever I can get my hands on this. read more

Got the tanghulu yogurt slushy during their BOGO promo. Was very tasty. 30% sweet was perfect. I appreciate that the UME sweetness is usually predictable and consistent! The drink was refreshing, perfectly sweetened and tasty. Comes with crystal boba which I didn't realize. Would buy again! read more

Is it just me? Or am I the only that comes here for their Grape Slushie, as odd as it sounds. Green Grape Tea Slushie w/ Salted Cheese Foam - If you have NOT tried this, TRY. IT. Strawberry Tea Slushie w/ Salted Cheese Foam - I decided to try something safe, their strawberry is ALSO as good Anyways, I defintely recommend y'all stop by when you're in the area read more

I was on my way visiting family in San Jose and stopped by Dave and Busters to enjoy a bit of gaming. I wanted to bring them milk tea, and this shop was located right next to them inside of the Great Mall. The shop itself was very cute, with lots of bunny decor and whatnot. Ordering is simple, either via the kiosk or with an employee. The lady who helped me answered a bunch of my questions, which I appreciated. Strawberry Match: Well, I have had better ones before, honestly. The boba itself was decent quality, having a nice squishy texture. The milk was standard and the strawberry puree was ok. My problem was the matcha. It was completely frozen in my drink, and not to mention it had the "solo"' logo design on it. Makes me think they use a frozen batch or something. I bought three of these, and mine was the most distinct to have that cup size. Overall, it was okay. I would consider coming here again. Probably get something else to drink. read more

I love ume , the tea always tastes right. This location is inside great mall, entrance 5, across from forever21, hope that helps lol. Kids wanted chicken popcorn, delish, and plush surprise option when adding it to your drink orders. It's a bit if a wait, so try to order ahead. Just a window but lots of seats in the middle area, it's a mall y'all. read more

UME tea has always been one of my go to spots for boba and when I heard about it opening in great mall, you know I had to try it out. I came here during grand opening and the line was out the door, I knew I had to come back way later in order to try this place. This place is located within great mall, and whats a little shopping without stopping by for some boba. We ordered the white peach oolong with boba and a grape fruit tea with their grape jelly. You can add an additional $3.50 to your drink to get a little surprise toy that comes with your drink!! Overall, the flavor and quality has always been on par with UME. I was hoping for additional flavors like other places but knowing they are new, I believe that they would add more in the future. Next time if you're shopping at great mall, make sure to grab a cup of boba while you're at it! read more

This place is just ok. When my friend and I got there, I noticed that one employee was cleaning machines and such while another was behind the counter, sitting on the floor and on their phone. Didn't get to interact with staff much since I ordered from the tablet. We were able to take our time deciding what we wanted though, and we got lucky to have no line when we got there since a bunch of people showed up after us. Took about ten minutes for me to get my drink. I was indecisive but ended up ordering the strawberry matcha latte since it was under their "must try" category. I was only able to taste the strawberry puree with my first sip, and then I couldn't taste it anymore as I kept drinking. The matcha tasted very artificial. There's a block of matcha at the top that melts into the drink that they call a "snowcap" I think, but that also tasted artificial. The drink was too milky for my liking, which masked the taste of the matcha. Felt like I was drinking a cup of milk. You can't do any customizations with this drink either. Probably would not come back. read more

Came on a busy holiday Monday and they had a very long line . Luckily they do the QR code ordering so was able to put in our orders without feeling rushed and people behind us waiting. I felt bad as the space behind the counter seemed very small. The wait after placing order wasn't as bad. I'd say we waited about 10 min but I know several people in front of us. We got the bunny cup surprise (matcha strawberry) and the cheese dog. Both were very good. The cup itself was super cute and fun to do. read more

U, me and some @umetea ? Literally the best Christmas present to find out that my favorite boba shop @umetea has opened near me at @shopgreatmall ! All of their drinks are so uniquely crafted using high quality teas, flavors and toppings, and you definitely can't go wrong with anything on their menu (including their snackies). Definitely make sure to try out their new seasonal drink, the matcha macchiato with strawberry jelly, which comes in the cutest Christmas tree bottle or grab their surprise cups to get a cute little plushie with your drink!

Finally tried Ume Tea, mostly to get the surprise plushie cup! Now you can choose any drink that you want and add the surprise plushie cup as an "add-on" to your drink. (Before, you were restricted on the teas that you could choose in order to get the plushie cup.) I got the white peach oolong milk tea, which was decent! You get a hint of the white peach although the oolong tea taste is stronger. If they added more white peach to it, it would be pretty good. The surprise cup itself was fun to open up and see which plushie you get. You do get a good amount of milk tea, even though the cup's base is used to hold the plushie inside. This is the Great Mall location, so it's inside the mall with no seating and is fairly busy. Service was quick though, and staff were friendly when answering my questions. You can order from their kiosk or order online for pickup. read more

Ume Tea had a grand opening promo on 14 Oct, where drinks were $3, mega teas were $5, and the line was so long! I love the Surprise Milk Tea which has a surprise soft toy keychain in the cup.
