    Curly Fries
    Jay J.

    ... 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.

    I stopped by on a Friday morning during opening hour. This Ume Tea location on Castro Street in Mountain View looks pretty inside and outside. The bright pink colors and pink patio chairs are all eye catchy here for sure. You won't miss it. Storefront looks awesome and it's quite spacious inside with a good amount of tables and chairs, or you can sit outside in the patio area. I am a regular Ume customer, especially for the refreshing 50% sweetness Mango Coconut Twilight beverage. Tastes great for my tastebuds. There's only one cup size for it. Cashier is ok, but nothing above average here. Gifts on shelves are good. Nice setup. Customers enjoy the space to meet up or catch up. Not crowded during morning hours. Self service kiosk is convenient. I think this is one of the prettier stores. Note, a chancetop service charge of $0.35 was charged to my $6.95 beverage though. That was sneaky. I always look at my receipts. Location is great. Low key mornings here. It's convenient for grab and go for sure.

    Milk tea w mochi and sticky rice
    Hieu L.

    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.

    Favorite place to go. Oat popping boba is the best topping. Like the sticky rice series and coco mango is great too.

    Super tasty. Loved the vibe would go back! The line wasnt long and I ordered ahead so I could go up and pick it up easily. Prefect for the warm day and the vibe was on point.

    My bubble tea fix! Blossom jasmine green tea in an adorable pink cup
    Ellie A.

    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!!

    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.

    [UMe]Coco Mango
    Kristina K.

    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.

    [UMe]Coco Mango Jasmine Bloom
    Allyssa C.

    Ume Tea is such a cute shop! They have cute decorations inside and there's seating both inside and outside the store. I ordered the coco mango jasmine bloom from the kiosk so it was quick easy. I waited a few minutes for my drink to be ready. The drink was so refreshing.

    Interior

    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.

    Fenny C.

    They have 3 locations, but we went to the one in mountain view. What attract us about this place is because its pink and cute bunny character. Order: via qr code, kiosk or in person by cashier. Seating: indoor and outdoor We ordered: Watermelon lychee greentea Coco mango They are perfect for crazy hot weather, so refreshing. They also sell some Asian street fried snack food. Service is kinda slow due to short staff. They are looking for helpers. Overall we like it a lot

    Arsha T.

    We ordered $10 popcorn chicken in barbeque flavor, and it exceeded our expectations. Mango Pomelo Sago was soooooo goood!! Definitely worth all that $$$. For a downtown setting, I think their prices are affordable. Their set up is cute & aesthetic. It's clean. The service was great & the wait time wasn't long. Even though it wasn't really crowded, it wasn't quiet - people were talking everywhere.

    Mango Pomelo Sago
    Samm N.

    Stumbled upon this place and was so pleasantly surprised. You can order on their screen or in your phone which is super easy. The drinks looks so good. I got the mango pomelo sago and it was soo delish! I got less sweet and it was perfect for me. I highly recommend. It's a cute spot to sit and chat in too! There is some seating and it is well lit and clean! Try it!

    Came by to try after lunch on Mother's Day, probably around 4PM. The place was SUPER busy when we…read morewent, but the service was still really fast and organized, we got our drinks within 10 minutes. The interior is modern and really cute, and they even have a dog check-in photo wall which was so so cute ! We got the snowy Jasmine with boba. Drinks themselves were light, fragrant, and refreshing. Even at 100% sweetness, they actually weren't too sweet, I would even argue getting 125% to match other boba places 100% sweetness. The boba had a really good flavor and sweetness to it that balanced everything out perfectly. Overall a great spot to grab a drink. Next time I want to try their Pistachio Matcha Coconut water so I will be coming back!

    Thank goodness for weekdays off! I went on a random Tuesday afternoon close to their opening time…read moreat 11am and let me tell you, hardly a soul in sight. I even got a pic of the seating without anyone in my photo. SCORE! I would highly recommend a day other than the weekend. I would give this place a 3.5 if I could. I just ordered a drink for myself and for my brother. In and out in maybe 10minutes? There's a kiosk to order and a spot to pick up your drink-- very efficient. I got the basic jasmine milk tea because I love jasmine tea and knew that if any place were to make the best jasmine milk teas, it would be this place. Molly is Chinese for jasmine anywayyyyyy (shout out to my coworker for telling me this!). I did not try my brother's tea so I cannot comment on it. I liked my jasmine tea, I can tell it was higher quality than other places I've had jasmine tea, but is it worth the hype? I don't think so. It's good, don't get me wrong, but wait-in-a-3-hour-line good? nothing is. I think I've also become desensitized to the high tea prices that $7-8 is somehow normal? When it shouldn't be! My only frame of reference nowadays is seeing how much tea cost in Asia. And in Taiwan (the birthplace of boba) I got boba for $3 ;( *sigh oh well I live in one of the most expensive places in the country but also I cannot believe I let myself think this is okay. Anyway, it's a treat, not a habit I would give into everyday.

    Great flavor, good price, nice setting, friendly staff…read more I had driven by MoonTea several times and I saw the sign from the road and I have to admit, just the sign and the name intrigued me. I love the moon. I finally got to try MoonTea when I was out in the 'vale this past weekend. My lady and I walked in and checked out the menu. This was the first time I saw a milk tea menu that listed the tea strengths for each drink, that's really cool. After studying the menu for a bit, one of the guys at the counter asked me if we needed any help. Nice of him. We were wondering about the stinky tofu, since some stinky tofus are weak sauce. He said it was average. I also asked what was their most roasty tea, he wasn't sure, but he and his colleagues suggested the da hong pao. The da hong pao is one that is listed as having a strong tea flavor, which I love, so many places barely have tea flavor! So I took his suggestion, and ordered it at their recommended sweetness and ice, non-dairy. While we waited I enjoyed and grooved too the music they played. As I drove home, I tasted the tea, and it's definitely the best milk tea I have had in a while! For the price it was great value and I was amazed it lasted so long; even after the ice melted it was still delicious. This was worth the wait. Also the stinky tofu was tasty, I would get it again.

    Tried a few different drinks here to see what they hype is about as I always see a lot of people…read morehere when driving by since it's near busy intersection. It's a bit of a mixed bag depending on what you get. The lychee milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice was a 6.5 because you can barely taste the lychee, it was very faint and just tasted like a regular milk tea. The da hong pao milk tea with 25% sugar and less ice was also a 6.5 since it had a really strong herbal taste that I wasn't a huge fan of. The best one was definitely the ceylon cheese milk tea at 25% sugar. It was way more creamy and rich than the others so I'd give that a 6.9.

It's mainly interaction free due to the ordering kiosks and staff just calls out your name after emerging from the back with your order. They don't hang out around the counter. I first tried their drinks at the CityLine Bridgerton Tea & Candle making event back in March. I was able to try hot Ruby milk tea, hot honey amber milk tea, hot jasmine pure tea, and hot peach four seasons oolong tea, all lightly sweetened. The ruby was my favorite! It was an oolong. I kept refilling my teacup with it throughout the night. Fast forward to the actual shop experience. They had ruby milk tea-- hooray! I got no sweet and added oats (signature topping) and brown sugar mochi jelly. So good but it was sweeter than I thought it would be. I was so sad they didn't have ruby during my visit in April so I got the deep roasted oolong milk tea, no sweet but with oats. Too dark/bitter for me. My friend got the passionfruit orange fruit tea and it was pretty good. Oh my goodness get the mochi waffle sticks if they have them! I got a three pack and they're soo crispy and chewy-licious with included whipped cream dip! Get chocolate cream for an extra fifty cents. There's seating indoors or enjoy your drink while walking around CityLine. Easy parking at any of the garages. Please bring back ruby milk tea! Puh-lease!
