Spicy Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken 3.5/5 Mango Coconut Twilight 5/5 Love this place as it has so may non-caffeinated items to choose from and will definitely come back to try more things on their menu. We ordered online and promptly picked up our items without issue. The inside of the place has very little seating and tables. It is mostly just an order and go place, but if you do decide to sit for a bit, the interior is very, very cute. Everything is pink! As for the items I ordered, the popcorn chicken is a very good, standard popcorn chicken. Would for sure grab some from here when I'm having a craving for them. I highly recommend the mango coconut twilight. If you're looking for something non-caffeinated but still refreshing, this is a great option. It's made with coconut water. I ordered the standard with 15% sugar and the sweetness level was perfect - not too sweet. The flavors matched well with the mango and the cloud marshmallow they added. I'm so excited to try the other non-caffeinated drinks they offer ! read more

Ume Tea - spicy salt and pepper popcorn chicken [UMe]Mango Coconut Twilight - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

The drinks and popcorn chicken are soooo good. We got 30% sweetness in our drinks and they were perfect. They have pretty unique dessert-type drinks (sticky rice, oreo creme brulee, mochi, etc). Popcorn chicken is crispy and I think dark meat. Interior is cute but limited seating. However, service is so slow. They need either more staff or a better system for organizing orders because the employees always seem to struggle with finding which order belongs to which customer. read more

I want to update my review and say that Ume Tea did reach out to me right away. They refunded my drink and added 500 reward points, which I really appreciate. Their message felt sincere, and it seems like they're taking the situation seriously. I hope they really look into how this happened so no one else has to go through it. I've had good experiences here before, so I'm hoping this was just a one-time mistake. If things improve, I'd be willing to come back. read more

... thought review was posted (last year) Soooo hard to decide what to get ... finally- strawberry matcha latte warm couldn't really taste the Matcha as much as a strawberry it was decent , curly fries we're good had a nice seasoning to them , octopus was a little overcooked . they are very sweet & helpful as when I got to the counter , a little embarrassed I couldn't decide she said no worries, Take your time & suggested items that are popular . I admit shops like this are a little dangerous for me. I did get sucked in & bought some merch bunny ear lid, cup holder & lil surprise bottom of my drink, little sheep. read more

My go to is the milk tea with purple rice. I notice on some drinks they don't even give you an option for customizations like milk choices. They do run on the sweeter side, so I find that 50% is the perfect amount for me. I know they have square to order and keep track on rewards with a phone number , but I hope in the future that they create an app for a smoother ordering process. This location is tough for parking since it's in the DT area. It's very small inside with limited seating, but the interior decorations and brightness of the place makes it feel larger and welcoming. I tried to go to the Palo Alto location, but it was closed so I ended up coming back to this Mountain View one. read more

One of my favorite go-to chains for brown sugar milk tea. Ordered the brown sugar boba and mochi black milk tea. LOVE the consistency of the drinkable mochi. Boba balls are very soft and QQ. Brown sugar flavor was very noticable, and the creamy milk made everything come together so well. They have lots of merch and collabs, so you can buy gifts and goodies as well. Very cute interior, perfect for your pretty photos! read more

I tried this place during their opening a few years ago for a yelp elite event - but realized that I haven't reviewed the actual place yet!! There are many bubble tea places in the South Bay, let alone downtown Castro street, but this place really sets them apart. It is such a treat to walk in there, and order! You walk in and immediately feel like you are in this adorable bubble tea haven. There are such cute decorations everywhere! Ordering is super easy, you go to the counter and choose a drink of your choice. They have pictures included which is really nice for the visuals!! I am a big jasmine milk tea fan so I got the blossom jasmine milk too and it was to die for. I loved how it was so floral which was definitely my vibe. They had some pretty near other flavors too like Matcha Tiramisu that also seemed interesting! It's definitely worth checking out it just for the unique flavors. Also, if you add them on instagram, they will give you a free topping! I added them and the service worker was so sweet she said here give me your cup and I'll add a topping for you! I chose the green jelly and it was a nice addition! So definitely ask them and they will gladly help. They also have popcorn chicken side for munchies too which I haven't tried yet, but saw many orders for when I was there. Also I asked about the cute little keychain animals they have adorned up on the wall. They said you can get a surprise box with a bubble tea and a keychain inside as an option! I definitely want to try that next time, as the keychains were too cute :) All in all, if you are in the area I'd DEFINITELY stop here for a bubble tea fix. It is such a neat experience from entering the store, choosing your order and waiting in line. I'm an big bubble tea fan and have tried many different places in the area and this one is one of the top in my book. I love supporting local businesses like this one especially since they seem to really care about their clientele. You must try it!! read more

Cute Boba spot!! I came here with a friend. We ordered from their large tablet and that was easy. I ordered one of their matcha drinks. It was really good, but I wish there was an option to make it less sweet. Most of the drinks did but for some reason this one didn't. After you order, you can either wait inside or outside where they have plenty of tables. We went outside because their music was blaring and my friend and I wanted to catch up. We both enjoyed our drinks. The one downside is that there is no restroom here. For a place that sells drinks, I would think that they would have a public restroom. Despite that, everything else was good and I would definitely go back to try another drink because they have some different types and interesting flavors. read more

I went on a Saturday at noon and it was soooooo crowded. People were waiting for their orders that I think ordered online. Although it was so packed, service was friendly and they were working as fast as they could. The inside is super cute and pink with cute toys/ merch you can purchase. There's seating along the walls or outside. There's a touch screen to order at as well. The mango coco is soooo good, so fresh I love the mango and sago in it. The strawberry yogurt was amazing!!!! Loved the chewy things in it. The matcha tiramisu was good with the cream on top and the cookie, I want to add boba to it next time!!! Popcorn chicken was fresh hot and crunchy and juicy!! If you go at a prime time just be prepared to wait. But the wait is overall worth it I think. read more

Small storefront with bright aesthetics! The classic oolong boba had mild flavor but my company complained about the lackluster tea flavor despite some more unique enhancement supplements such as tanghulu and rice. I would stop by at least once to sample more unique boba flavors but I don't believe it outshines competitors on the same block, such as Yifang. read more

We ordered $10 popcorn chicken in barbeque flavor, and it exceeded our expectations. Mango Pomelo Sago was soooooo goood!! Definitely worth all that $$$.

Even though it wasn't really crowded, it wasn't quiet - people were talking everywhere. read more

This is the second Ume that I've been. Loved that they introduced me to yumberry!! Ume has plenty of merchs that are so useful - like bunny lids, boba cup straps, bags, and cups!! And the ability to take pictures with fun statues and backdrop... makes the experience refreshing. Their ordering kiosk (they have 1 machine) is quick. Just make sure you read the menu ASAP so you make an informed decision. When ordering, they have recommendations on their cane sugar. I don't recollect anywhere Thats has something like this. Love to sit here and stare at passerby or sit outside and chill! Music is great level and the kids can get distracted with all the pinkness and bunny art! read more

Ume Tea - Props to you! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

Very cute decor! Plenty of parking nearby. I don't prefer their milkshakes, but their milk teas are not bad, and I do often fall for their marketing schemes given the bunny surprise plushies are so cute :))) Their food is good too - I've had the popcorn chicken and it definitely packed a punch! Ordering is easy via a digital stand at the front, and it takes like 5 mins if they're not that busy, but closer to 15-20 if the line is super long. read more

Good boba at a solid price point, and it's located in a lovely, walkable area and has a cute interior!

Highly recommend! read more

Ume Tea - Matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

My friend and I wanted a sweet treat after eating hotpot and stopped by Ume Tea. I saw they had a coco mango bloom which is identical to the mango coconut one so I wanted to see what the difference was and I was also entice by the $4.99 price tag. I will say- this place is extremely short staff on a Friday night that our drinks took maybe 45 mins to come out. They definitely need to add 1-2 more people for the evening shift! I was also surprised to see that the drink came out like this? It wasn't cold enough so it probably meant it was sitting. The drink itself felt a bit lacking in sweetness and I got normal sweetness. Not sure if I would drink at this location again! :( read more

Had gotten dinner on Castro Street and was walking back from the restaurant when Ume Tea caught my eye. I ordered at the Kiosk and appreciated that the drinks on the menu were tagged with the options that are dairy-free and caffeine-free! The mango pomelo sago caught my eye and I ordered a large with 30% sweetness (ice level is fixed) and added boba. When I arrived there were two people doing a pick up and one person waiting for his drink to be ready. I was able to order at the kiosk after waiting a few minutes. After I ordered, about 15 people arrived! Cute space with a lot of pink and bunny decor. Four small round tables along one side with some limited seating. It looks like there was also outdoor seating. I was lucky that my drink came out quickly and my drink was delicious! read more

Cute and trendy shop with excellent drinks. Ume Tea is one of the newest boba shops in downtown Mountain View. They stand out with their bunny mascot and pink decor (and lots of matching merchandise). They sport a large variety of drinks with standard fare and seasonal specialties ranging from light and refreshing to heavy and endulging. Their Mango Pomelo drink is their most popular, and it's easy to see why. Sweet, thick, and just a hint of tart makes this well balanced drink a sugary treat. I also recommend their Dubai Chocolate drink, with heavy blended chocolate and pistachios, creating a deep decadent milkshake. Due to Ume's popularity, wait times for your drinks can be long. If you have the time, they usually have free samples you can enjoy while waiting for your drink, otherwise you should place your order online ahead of time. Ume Tea is a strong competitor for top boba shop in downtown Mountain View. read more

These are the most affordable and trendy tea shops in the Bay Area. They keep on innovating and bringing new flavors, which keeps things new. It's very cleanly at the location.

Ume Tea - Boba to go - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

Ume Tea is located on Castro Street in Mountain View and they're a solid choice for some refreshing boba tea. Surprisingly their Popcorn Chicken is actually pretty well put together as well. Not too much fried breading and with a little built-in spice. The place is pink, as in they take the color pink seriously. Service is what you would expect from a tea shop, nothing extraordinary but not awful either. Parking can be challenging in this downtown area but nothing that a little patience can't fix. read more

The drinks and snacks are great just like all the other Ume's, however the time it takes for them to complete an order is ridiculously long. Three separate times it took about 30-45mins to get 2 drinks and 1 snack. The whole store and even outside the store is always filled with people waiting. Would recommend a different Ume location if you would like to get your order within 45mins of ordering. read more

Located in downtown Mountain View, nice spot with cute decor inside. Came on a Friday afternoon around 2 pm and it was pretty busy inside. But I was able to order on the kiosk right away. Wanted to try one of the holiday drinks and got the berry pistachio latte. There were many drinks in the queue so waited about 20 min for it to be ready. There was no sweetness adjustment so it was pretty sweet. It was a nice blend of strawberry, milk and a light pistachio cream. There was a whole strawberry inside as well. Was excited to try the Christmas jackpot event (on drinks until the 31st). Biggest prize is free UME for a year! Scanned the QR code and won $1 coupon :') read more

VERY inconsistent. Expect the long wait for your orders even when its not a busy day. I still order drinks/snacks sometimes but i know i will have to wait around 20-30mins and i know i have a spare time to kill But this time it takes the cake!. Order a drink, 2 snacks and a bento box. Ordered it at 4pm; drink was ready at 4:09pm BUT we got our foods at 4:56pm. A whole hour for our order; whatever. What really blew my mind is that; we waited a whole hour for the foods BUT when we get our foods its already COLD. All of them. Barely even warm. We asked 3 times for our order and each time we are told its not ready yet.... We ended up taking the food home and heat it up at home. Did not want to talk to the worker since theres like 5 other people waiting on their orders and they all look frustrated. If you want something from there either you should order it wayyyy ahead or you know you have time to spare. Sometimes the snack came out really good sometimes its mehhh; the drinks are ok. But for sure its NOT worth the 30min-1hour wait. Plenty of boba option in that area. But seems like a lot of people like this place so take my words with a grain of salt and you do you! :) read more

Stopped on through here last month to quench my thirst and also decided to pick up some Popcorn Chicken before my dinner on a decent weather Saturday afternoon in February. Ume Tea is located on Castro street where you have to navigate around the hustle and bustle of many people taking a stroll or looking for food and drink like I was. The inside of the store is let's say very kid friendly and also friendly for the big kid in adults. Ordering was done by the touchscreen kiosk and the line on this day was at least 4 people ahead of me. Once I ordered, I hung back by some colorful decorations. I ordered their White Peach Oolong Milk Tea and a Popcorn Chicken. The milk tea wasn't too sweet as I ordered it at 50% sweetness and the Popcorn Chicken was actually good with not too much breading and lots of juicy chicken underneath. I'm a fan of the popcorn chicken. I was lucky and found a table as some people were leaving, and I happened to just start looking around for a seat at the very same moment. There is limited seating however. read more

Mini fried octopus are fantastic. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 3/5** I came on a Saturday afternoon and was just 1 of 2 customers waiting in the store, but it took about 20 minutes for me to get my order. **Price & portion, 4/5** The snack size mini fried octopus was $9.95, which felt just barely worth it, but after tax and tip, felt overpriced. **Taste of the food, 5/5** So good! The octopus are breaded in a crispy coating and perfectly seasoned -- I might like this more than popcorn chicken because of the crunch and chew. Super recommend adding spice for a bit of a kick. read more
