Everytime I come into Ume, I am always treated with the most uttermost respect. I usually come in the evening and the two young adults Alan and Vannya always have the best customer service. Not only are the drinks good, but their smiles and service is what makes it even better. Give these two a raise!! read more

This is my family's new boba spot since the Teaspoon nearby sadly closed. This place has good quality boba with a fun avocado special currently. The bunny theme is so cute! read more

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

Really liked Mango Coco and Iced latte with boba. Simple, nothing extra and pretty delicious! Glad to find a good boba place near me.

I ordered too good to go and asked if I could have zero sugar (no sweetness) drinks. I was told yes but offered three boba tea filled with sugar. I had to mix with four times of milk in extra cups to drink. While I understand that you cannot determine what you get for too good to go, I wish I was not offered yes for sugar level options at the beginning... read more

I wanted to give Ume tea a try having walked past it multiple times when at Castro. Huge regret! There are many other options by Castro - please give this place a miss. Service was a huge mess!! I waited more than 40 mins for my food order and the worse part of it was - they got it wrong! I ordered popcorn chicken non spicy, sour plum, and my order that arrived was very spicy without any sour plum. In the end, my guest could not eat it when I brought it back because she cannot eat spicy food! And worse of all, she was waiting an hour for me! Extremely disappointed with them read more

I love their UME bunny surprise cup! Service here can be a bit slow, but the staff with help you out. Drinks are super tasty! My favorite is the thai milk tea creme brulee, the oreo creme brulee, and matcha strawberry! The strawberry pieces taste just like strawberry ice cream! 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

Ume Tea - Berry pistachio latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

Matcha was okay, What I did not like how ever was that the employees made the drinks with no gloves. I got a peek of behind the curtains and noticed the employees did NOT have gloves. The cashier in the front had no work outfit and it looked extremely unprofessional. Not to mention the place inside is dirty too, it looks like they have not cleaned the floor and there is a lot of dust on the merchandise. read more

Cute and pretty small store with such lovely and bright bunny pictures throughout the store. I got the coco mango drink, it was pretty good- the right sweetness. Will come back to try their milk tea drinks. I have tried their grape drinks before, also really good. The service was pretty fast, I got these drinks within 10 minutes. 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

1. Order online here! wait times are long 2. Try the blossom latte milk tea 50% sweet ! Molly tea dupe !! Their house black milk tea 30% sweet is also good. Fried tofu is also good but don't get the spicy powder it ruins the flavor Ambiance is nice but not a lot of place to sit. This place has surpassed happy lemon for me and I loveee happy lemon ! and i lovee ume! read more

Ordered via kiosk. Drinks were ready about 5-10mins later. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The grapefruit green tea 30% (added aloe) was very tasty! Everyone else enjoyed their drink but said it was on the sweet side (especially the strawberry milk at 30% sweet). 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

Ume Tea - Mini fried octopus - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

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

Great location and good service :) spacious and interior is very cute. They have lots of bunnies in the store, which is different from other stores! They always have seasonal drinks so make sure to check out their menu. read more

Ume Tea - Mango Pomelo Sago and (3U) Black Milk Tea with Taro and Boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Mountain View, California

Cute fruit tea/boba shop. Found while walking off our dinner in downtown Mountain View. Love the vibe here! Also love that there are two ordering stations. Still, had to wait a while to order as the girls were taking so long giggling at the cute menu options. Lol. We got to the shop about 30 minutes before closing. Once we ordered we waited about 15 minutes for our drinks. On all fairness, the shop was packed with some people even waiting outside for their drinks. We were fortunate to snag a table inside. Almost as soon as we got our drinks, maybe 5 minutes later, the worker made an announcement that the shop was closed while thanking us for our business. I didn't even have time to notice that the lychee jelly that I had added and paid extra for was NOT in my cup until after the store closed. As far as the drink, even tho I ordered my lychee and watermelon drink less sweet at just 25pct sweet, it was wayyy to sugary for me. I had to wait until I got to the car to mix my no sugar iced tea into drink to make it drinkable. Will order 0 pct sweet in future. One of my friends mentioned his was way too sweet also. So be warned. Like that Ume Tea has a rewards program AND multiple locations across the state. Will be back for more fun drinks and great company! read more

Order online! I thought there was going to be a wait on a Sunday afternoon, so I ordered 20 minutes before I got there. I arrived and my drink was already made. The interiors were cute and they have great merch options. I got the lychee and watermelon green tea. I was a bit turned off by a black watermelon seed floating in there but I took it out and thoroughly enjoyed the drink! They have their sugar levels and topping amounts spot on. 30% wasn't too sweet and was still refreshing! read more

Stopped by on a Friday evening around 8pm. Wasn't too crowded when I first walked in, only about 5 people inside. By the time I left, it was super crowded. We placed order on kiosk: brown sugar boba milk and mango pomelo sago. I've had their drinks at the Milpitas, Cupertino, Palo Alto, and Las Vegas locations and the experience has all been pretty much the same. The mango pomelo sago tasted fresh and had good sweet flavor. One thing was that the drinks took a while to come out. Took almost 30 minutes for the drinks to be made. Also, one drink was ready 10 mins before the other. read more

The drinks here are refreshing and delicious! Castro street is always hustling and bustling, but the fact that you can mobile order ahead of time makes this shop (as well as some others!) a great option when you just want to stroll along the street with a fun, delicious & cute drink in hand! I love their photo op statues as well, fun to snap a memory when you go with friends! Oh and wabbits??? I love them!!! Can't wait to visit again! Wonderfully fast service, mobile order works best especially if you're in a hurry, and the customer service is friendly and helpful! Thumbs up! read more

7/18/24. Around 2 pm The interior was super cute. Love the design. Very spacious with seatings. Ordered a milk tea with taro and boba large (~6.5?). At first i didn't now that we needed to select a sugar level so I had no sugar. I went back and asked the employee to add the regular sugar 100% in and it became wayyyyy to sweet. Maybe because of the boba and taro was already sweet but that was unexpected. They did give quiet a lot of boba and taro which was nice. The taro was also slightly hard. -1 Overall, a cut place and a great location. 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

I've been to other Umes in the Bay Area but this was my first time at the Mountain View location. We arrived at around 9pm on a Saturday and they seemed pretty disorganized. They had run out of milk (??) but it wasn't clearly communicated to customers ordering via the kiosk. We didn't order any milk drinks so it didn't affect me but I saw them calling up customers after 5-10 mins to ask them to change their order. They also seemed to be well staffed but they appeared to be overwhelmed. Our 2 drinks ended up taking around 20 mins which was longer than the quoted time. The grapefruit green tea was refreshing as usual. I decided to try the green tea jelly which was nice but I felt like charging $0.80 was steep. The mango sago was just okay - mango was more tart than sweet. read more

Ume tea offers a unique and refreshing flavor profile with its blend of Japanese plum (ume) and green tea. The tartness of the plum pairs wonderfully with the subtle bitterness of the green tea, creating a well-balanced and refreshing beverage. It's a great option for those looking for something different from traditional teas. Overall, Ume tea provides a refreshing and flavorful experience for those looking to explore new tea flavors. Ume tea shop boasts a serene ambiance with Japanese-inspired decor, calming music, and comfortable seating, providing a tranquil environment for enjoying their unique teas, plus the staff were welcoming!

Came here t try their boba tea. I ordered the lychee watermelon green tea with salted cream and crystal boba, I paid extra for both of those toppings but I got neither.

I love visiting this location for Ume Tea. They have lots of seating both inside and outside. The people at the counter and really helpful and friendly. There is also, the option to use a kiosk. There are lots of photo opps to get cute pictures. They have so many items on the menu from good curly fries, chicken strips, popcorn chicken etc. I really liked all the selections of drinks. We ordered the strawberry yogurt slushie, the ube milk tea with pudding and the strawberry matcha with a scoop of matcha ice cream. Everything tasted so good! I also, love all the merch for sale they have several reusable cups, bags and even cute plushie key chains. I will definitely return and will recommend this place.

Nah. Tea flavors and combinations are terrible. Never again going back. Customer service is ok. Ambiance is ok.
