New drink on sale $3.99 3U. The Brown Sugar Boba Oolong Milk Tea
Karrie L.

Thank you Ume for the cute bag. I ordered on the app and picked up my drink at the drive thru. Oolong boba milk tea was on sale today for $3.99 we ordered with 15percent sugar. The sweetness was just right for us. The drink is pretty good w flavorful black tea taste which I like. I like the ease of use for app ordering and point system as well. I wish they sell physical gift cards.

Lychee & Watermelon Green Tea
Mj L.

The Livermore place looks cute--it's bright and adorable. I ordered the fruit green tea with watermelon and lychee instead of the milk tea. The cashier was nice and friendly. I'm not sure if it was me or him, but he asked what the difference was between dairy and non-dairy options. He mentioned that they have vanilla powder that they use in the milk teas. To keep it simple, I decided to go with the fruit tea. It was really good, with the perfect sweetness level at 50% and 80% ice. The only issue I encountered was when I tried to sip the remaining fruit at the bottom of my drink; it got stuck in the straw. I ended up tearing off the top cover so I could spoon out the fruit. Overall, it's a great place for both the young and old to enjoy fruit tea!

Lychee Watermelon

I thought the concept of a drive thru boba spot was cool, but after visiting I realize there's nothing too extraordinary about it apart from the drive thru part itself lol! I originally came on their grand opening day about an hour before they were set to close but was turned away. I visited midday on a weekday, and fortunately it wasn't busy so we were the only ones in the drive thru. The ordering process was simple; they have physical menus you can take and look at. I was able to share a lychee watermelon drink and it was pretty good! I felt like the lychee bits were a little too large though, at times it was impossible to drink because that + the boba wouldn't fit through the straw. As for the drive thru itself, it's a bit awkward since you just order, wrap around, then just watch as they slowly make your drinks haha. I don't know if the experience was worthwhile for me to come back but it was nice to try!

Grand opening! 1/27/24 12pm

I came for their opening day around 11:50am and finally got to the front to order at 1:10pm. They handed these cute bunny ear balloons for those who came. Unfortunately that didn't make up for how long we waited to find out at 12:50pm that they ran out of boba. Also, there was only one person taking orders which made the line longer than it should have been. They should have been better prepared for their "grand opening". I've been to several of these boba shop grand openings and the Ume grand opening was severely disappointing. The drinks were $3 but +$1 for the large cup. Nonetheless, I ordered their mango pumelo sago cuz mango is my favorite and it sounded refreshing. I was going to order their bunny surprise drink but seeing the doll would trigger me to how long I had to wait to get my drink in the first place. I finally got my drink at 1:15pm. I may be too traumatized from this poor planning event to come back for a while.

Such a unique concept, since I've never seen a drive through boba spot. I've tried Ume before, and the drinks are pretty good! I haven't had it in a while, so getting to try new flavors like passionfruit lychee was super refreshing! I got the surprise cup, so was excited when I see what popped out! I got the cutest little bear with my fave little mushrooms! The owners were super quick and helpful, and the shop was just so cute and pink! I especially loved the bunnies on them! Will def go back again soon!

Passion Fruit & Watermelon
Tom U.

If you been to the Cupertino,CA. It's the same tea and menu. It's unique drive-thru, boba tea shop is an amazing experience that, I think every boba tea shop should do. It was a quick and fast experience, definitely worth it on a rainy day. Its speedy service is also cool to do. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about my lactose issues, good vibes. Defiantly one issue is the turning in the drive thru, might require 2-3 point turns. I would recommend.

Bunny Surprise Cups
Melinda K.

Ume Tea's first boba drive thru is the most interesting concept I've ever seen. This former coffee drive thru is so convenient and so cute, you can either park your car next to it or drive to the window to order and pick up. My friend and I ordered Bunny Surprise Cups in Passionfruit Green Tea w/ Lychee and Boba and Grape Green Tea w/ Green Jelly, which comes in a SF design cup and a surprise plush keychain to take home. Both green teas were not too sweet, which was good at 50% sweetness. I also got the Cookie Crème Brûlée Boba Oolong Milk Tea (that's a long menu title lol) which has Oreo crumbs, thick crème brûlée custard, and boba, which was a little bit sweet. I liked the crème brûlée, but the boba was a little bit hard though, so it took a while to chew. The service was nice and fast, even the cashier was willing to take his time to share his recommendations and menu options. It only took under 10 minutes to prepare three drinks. There's no snacks served there, so only drinks.

What!? a boba drive through, so cool . we got the water melon passionfruit tea all the new rose milk look so good. such a cool concept and nice cute pink store. lol the driving is very hard better park and walk over. It's a tricky square turn around. I was completely okay but I saw some marks on the yellow pillars. I had to make some 3 point turns and back up often

Same drink, but which one you think taste like water?

No one should ever need to wait 50 minutes for their drinks. And on top of that the person making the drinks messed up 2 of 4 of the same mango-coco drinks. Isn't this your job??! The messed up ones tasted like mango slush water, the unappealing kind. Seriously lady, I know you were dealing with a flood an all, but could have told everyone waiting that there will be delays in your order so that we don't have to wait 30+ minutes in the sun, while you single handled hid in the hut making half crappy flavorless drinks. This is by far my most disappointed boba experience. Owners, please make sure you don't just bat an eye when you see poor customer service in your face and all you can say is sorry. This will just make you lose business fast.

Shout out to Melody for her great smile and customer service! I walked here with my daughter and our dog. Melody gave Lola some cold water to quench her thirst. We placed an order for three bobas (passion fruit watermelon green tea, signature boba black milk tea, and lychee watermelon green tea). These delicious bobas hit the spot on a warm summer day. The little hut is a drive thru or walk up. Stop by and give them some business.

I drove 45 minutes just to try this new drive-through boba shop and I was happy to do so! I've been to their other locations in Milpitas, and now a closer(ish) one. I ordered my go-to, the Cookie Crème Brûlée Boba Oolong Milk Tea and added mochi 50% sweet. The guy who took my order was quick and friendly. This is definitely a cute and quick spot to get your boba fix if you're in the area!

My order

Super excited that UME Tea is back in the Tri-Valley, I was sad when they closed their Dublin location. Its one of my favorite small boba chains in the Bay Area. It's pretty cool that this one potentially can be a drive through, although at the moment as of tonight they have it blocked off and it's walk up only. Hopefully they figure out a way to make it be able to be a drive through! I first went yesterday on my lunch break from work and waited around 30/40 mins but had to head back before I could order. I know they had the deals so I think that's part of why the line was so crazy! I came back tonight after work and got a surprise cup. It was good, I got 50% sweetness on the Cookie Crème Brûlée Tea, next time I do think I'd opt for 75%. They seemed to want you to order from the iPad stand outside so I did that and it was made pretty quick! There is plenty of parking in the lot this is in as well. Definitely a cute and unique spot, happy they are back in the Tri-Valley!

Drive thru line on grand opening day
Iris C.

We are excited to have ume tea back to the tri valley. (Dublin location closed). I got to try the taro mochi milk tea on the grand opening day. Unbeatable $2.99 promotion per drink. $5 for a surprise cup. My girl loves the idea of a surprise plushie hidden in the cup. Drink was perfectly prepared like I had before. The drive thru system was not made for big crowds but it worked out. I will definitely come back for the mochi drink as I couldn't find it anywhere else in the Bay Area. But a regular price surprise cup for over $10, I would hesitate.

Our recent visits have been to return for the avocado smoothie, which is not a common drink offering at Boba places, and popcorn chicken. The avocado smoothie is okay and not the best, however, it will do given none of the nearby places offer this drink. But the real winner is their popcorn chicken which comes with a decently sized-portion and the batter is perfect in amount and flavor. We don't particularly like our food spicy, so we always request for them to not add additional pepper sprinkled on top. That makes it perfect for us. However, if you like your food more spicy, definitely let them know. The only way to do this is if you order directly through a cashier or you somehow get their attention before they finish your order. Otherwise, ordering through the kiosk does not allow you to input any special requests. Service is not particularly fast especially when they get bombarded by the students from the middle schools and high school in the afternoon. I have yet to try their milk tea, but I haven't come to want to take the chance given one of my favorites is not that far of a walk from Honi-Bear. In any case, the location is great in the heart of downtown to treat ourselves to some drinks and snacks!

Nice industrial modern interior. The wait for drinks is on the slower side. A pass for me.
