I love this place! It's super cute, and my drink was so good! I got the osmanthus longan slush with boba, and I added on the bunny surprise. I ended up getting an adorable monkey plush keychain :) My drink was absolutely amazing, too! I will probably come here every time I go to the Great Mall. read more

I'm usually not a fan of fruity drinks, but the mango pomelo sago was amazing. It had lots of real mango chunks. Get 0% sugar though, all the ingredients already have lots of sugar in them, don't need to add extra sugar. read more

Elated to see them open up another Ume Tea! This is still actually pretty close to the other Milpitas location, but it helps to distribute the crowd so the wait is not that long at both locations. It does get pretty busy around dinner time, though, so prepare for a wait. However, it is not that much of a bother in comparison to the fluffy mochi topping they offer and high quality tea. read more

Not what I was expecting for this boba place... I had gotten the watermelon lychee fruit tea and it had taken quite a while for me to receive it.Another complaint is that the lychee was not lychee is was hard and not what I remember lychee tasting like ,I felt like it was just the skin and it was just so disgusting.I had also asked for light ice and extra boba and I had gotten mostly ice and barely any boba when i first saw it i noticed it was just lychee ,before trying it I didn't mind that there was a lot of lychee but when I had taken a sip I was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AND DISAPPOINTED IN THIS BOBA PLACE.At the way they didn't listen to any of the things I had put I wanted like light ice and extra boba absolutely a waste of money. read more

Solid tea place with fast service. I had the signature boba black milk tea (70% sweet light ice). The boba was soft and chewy. Not mushy or hard to chew through at all. 70% sweet was perfect for me here, and I have a sweet tooth. There was no bitterness in the tea, and it was very creamy. A very well done milk tea. read more

I always see it on social media, but they finally expand to places I can visit. I order it on the touch screen tablet. I went to Great Mall twice with two different groups of friends to try the surprise cup experience. I ordered passion and watermelon fruit tea for the first time. There was too much pulp, which was surprisingly super bitter, even though I ordered 100% sugar. I had a great time with my surprise cup because I got a pink penguin. It is so soft and such a high-quality plush keychain. The second time, I went with something safe: the peach slush without cheese foam and lychee jelly. I saw that they have many locations in the Bay area. I want to go to each location in 2024, take pictures, and get a surprise cup. read more

First Time Visit - Great Find in Great Mall! We stumbled upon this adorable boba spot in Great Mall while craving something refreshing. The atmosphere was on point - cute boba place vibes and a grab-and-go kind of setup. What caught my attention was their separate kids menu with caffeine-free options - a big plus! The service was okay, taking about 10-15 minutes, which was reasonable considering the crowd. We ordered: - Brown Sugar Boba Oolong Milk Tea (75% sugar, less ice): Unfortunately, the oolong milk taste didn't quite meet my expectations. If you're new to oolong milk, be aware it's distinct from regular milk. However, the quality and brown sugar boba were amazing! - Ume Boba Milk Tea (light ice, bunny surprise cup, 70% sugar): I opted for this size for the surprise toy, which my toddler loved! The milk tea itself was okay, but not the best I've had. - Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk (light ice, whole milk, half sugar, medium size): Ordered from the kids menu for my 4-year-old, and she devoured it! Her absolute favorite! Overall, a great first experience, and we'll be back to try more! Recommended for families with kids! read more

During a recent visit to the mall with friends, I decided to satisfy my craving for a refreshing drink and opted for ume tea. Let me share my experience! Beverages: 5/5 I ordered the Thai tea with creme brulee topping, while my friend chose the strawberry slush without the cheese topping. The Thai tea with creme brulee was exceptional, catering perfectly to my sweet tooth. The addition of creme brulee complemented the drink remarkably, enhancing its overall flavor. I would highly recommend trying creme brulee as a topping with any beverage. Service: 5/5 The service at the milk tea store exceeded my expectations. The staff were exceptionally courteous and always ready to assist with any queries. Additionally, their efficiency stood out--they promptly fulfilled orders without compromising on quality.
