    Wrong toppings in drinks
    Gabe Y.

    Order #41264 on 3/4/2026 My drink order was a rice mochi black milk tea with oats popping boba and a tanghulu yogurt slushie. My snack order was the plum popcorn chicken. The problem is that they messed up both our drinks but we didn't find out till we came home. The rice mochi black milk tea itself is correct but instead of oats popping boba, I got mango popping boba. I'm allergic to mango and cannot drink it. The tanghulu slushie does not usually have oats popping boba but it was included. The drink did include the haw flake type topping and the plum pieces that's supposed to come with the drink but didn't have the paste. The drink is noticeably white rather than the pink it's supposed to be. They also gave us a round cup rather than the rectangular but that may just be an inventory issue. I also don't know if their chicken supplier also changed their chicken source but it was extremely gristley and stringy compared to usual. Perhaps it was an off day or new employees but really, a bad experience. Could this be a sign of quality decline? Either way, it's really frustrating that I paid money for this.

    First time at Ume Tea and it was a solid pick. Skipped the boba and the drink still hit. Fresh, flavorful, and not overly sweet.Service was quick and the wait wasn't bad at all. Great first impression. I'd come back if ever in San Jose again.

    Strawberry cloud matcha coco

    I ordered something new today with the BOGO deal for Strawberry cloud matcha coco. The strawberry is not that strong. I think the coconut pudding and matcha makes it quite tasty. Totally worth the purchase! my local go-to boba

    Taro & mochi
    Irene L.

    I like that this location is rarely busy when I stop by, so I can grab my drink pretty quickly. I usually order the taro milk with mochi or the taro milk tea with mochi, depending on whether I want caffeine or not. They're always consistent with how they make the drinks, which is why it's never a miss for me.

    Not entirely sure what it is but I feel like Ume Tea often satisfies my quench. Can also be possible dehydration? Could it be that I don't drink enough liquids everyday? Probably I digress every time I get a fruit tea with or something delicious I'm always refreshed! I'm particularly overly fond of their popcorn chicken as well very crispy very tender and juicy.

    Had a great time drinking here with friends around 8 pm! It wasn't busy when we arrived but we brought in a rush of people. It's a cute interior with lots of pink, bunnies, and softness. We ordered through the self serve kiosk or you could order through a live person at the register. They have regular table seatings for 1:1 or small groups of 3-4. Our drinks came in around 7-10 minutes after ordering. I ordered the mango melon breeze! Super refreshing, not too sweet, and delicious. Would come here again!

    Passion Fruit Green Tea w/ Boba & Lychee Jelly
    Denise L.

    Glad for an Ume Tea in the neighborhood. Had only been once and got the passion fruit tea that comes with boba and lychee jelly. I would've loved it if it didn't have slices of lime in it. It threw me off and too strong on the lime flavor. There's about 4 tables inside and no bathroom.

    Service is quick, and easy with the pick up station they have. You can order online for pickup or at their ipad station. They have one of my favorite popcorn chicken of the bay area. My favorite drinks are pistachio cloud, watermelon lychee, and mango sago. It's a bit quiet here though, they don't have any music.

    Bunny surprise cup
    Meng E.

    I needed a little something after a gym session, so I came to this Ume Tea location. I was surprised that the rewards system didn't have plush dolls to redeem anymore, but I was able to redeem a free snack. After looking through the menu, I decided to go with popcorn the chicken/fries combo snack and the brown sugar mochi milk tea. I wanted my popcorn chicken extra spicy, so the crew gave me a container of spicy powder to take home. The popcorn chicken was good - crispy, warm and tender on the inside. I put a lot of powder on it, but I think it needed some salt to bring out the flavor more. The fries were decent - it needed salt as well, but was cooked nicely. The brown sugar mochi drink was good - I went for the bunny surprise cup and got a whale, lol. Overall, I liked the mochi in the drink and thought it was a good amount of sweetness at 50%. The shop has a good amount of spacing, and on a Thursday mid afternoon - plenty of room to hang out and enjoy your tea/snacks.

    [UMe]Mango Coconut Twilight
    Angelica L.

    Went here after dinner for a sweet treat! Ordered ahead with DoorDash and there was a small discount which was nice. I ordered the mango coconut twilight because it was non caffeinated, vegan, and had mochi! The mochi was delicious, the drink itself was a bit icy for me. Besides that inside it was cute and very pink, and service was fast.

    [UMe]Popcorn Chicken&Fries Combo
    Caroline L.

    This was a pretty standard ume tea. Drinks are good and the server was nice. The popcorn chicken surprised me. It was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Exactly how I like it. There's some space to also hangout as well too. Not too much seating but about 4 tables.

    Blossom Latte!
    Thalia M.

    Finally got the chance to try Ume Tea and I was not disappointed! When they dropped their new Jasmine Blossom Latte, I KNEW I had to check it out. I absolutely love Jasmine tea, the more floral, the better! Their Jasmine Blossom Latte is green tea based with jasmine floral notes. It had the perfect amount of creaminess and floral undertones. I ordered mine at 75% sweetness, although next time I could definitely enjoy it at 100% sweetness. I also tried their Longan Slushy which was perfectly sweet with lots of longan flavor. There were also jellies that tasted like longan. However, it wasn't so much a slushy as the ice pieces were bigger than expected! I wish the texture was better but the flavor was definitely on point. Overall, I will definitely be back! The shop is quite spacious and SUPER cute!!! Definitely check it out ^__^

    Ordering kiosk
    Eunice C.

    Surprising new favorite boba spot in the South Bay! I had tried Ume Tea before at another location and remember it just being okay, but saw this one after stopping by in the plaza and wanted to give it another try. The ordering is easy on a kiosk off to the side. The hardest part is deciding on a drink- they have a lot of options (something for everyone!). I got the Rice Mochi Black Milk Tea with 30% sweetness and it was so good and the perfect ratio of milk tea, chewy purple rice bits and the super soft mochi (yum!!). Will definitely be back!

We also shared truffle tots, which came as plain tots with truffle parmesan. Also delicious. The vienna latte was my favorite drink. The cocoa dusted cream top reminded me of tiramisu, my favorite. The double shot of espresso was rich and strong, and still carried through the thick cream top. The raspberry matcha special had a pleasant raspberry punch but it was too tart overall for my preference. It can get quite noisy, including in their new indoor/outdoor seating area. The line outside can look daunting but it moves quickly. Service was great! We paid about $28pp total. Would love to try the rest of their menu!

There are charging ports under some of the tables. The menu is a bit hard to read--some items are on a big hanging letterboard, some are on a laminated printout, others are in a standing letterboard, and some of the items lack descriptions (would you know what an All Nighter drink is without having to look it up?), which made it a bit confusing to order. There are some interesting food options, and the menu is on the limited side which assures me that each item will likely be or a higher quality. The prices make sense for the portion sizes as well. I think the coffee is better than the food--the All Nighter was very interesting, as the coffee flavor was pretty strongly fruity compared to what I am used to with Vietnamese lattes (this item was described as the cafe's take of one). I would love to try some of their other flavored lattes, which they profess are made with house-made syrups. The ube waffle was okay--it isn't better than anything I could make at home with a storebought waffle mix, and is not served with any condiments or toppings. I am curious about their other food options but am thus far not particularly awed. I like that they are pretty coffee-forward and that their drinks are not overly sweetened, and I would recommend it. I plan to come back to try their other offerings.

They do not have any dedicated parking and you will need to rely on street parking, but from the times I have been there, it has been pretty fruitful. When walking towards the reserved area, you are greeted with very mystical decor, with hanging fake wisterias, and decorated in floral. The menu has a good amount of items to try from, and they do have seasonal drinks. When I asked the last time, they did mention they stock their pastries from Manresa (if you are a fan, you might want to order a thing or two!) The service is very friendly, and I waited max only 10 minutes for my drink. Despite it being completely outdoor, there is ample seating, and while I might not recommend it for studying or working from home, this is a cute spot to catch up with friends or even read a book outdoors. The last few times I went, I got a lavender latte (and it did not blow my mind nor differed from other places), but despite that, it still fulfilled a need. I also have ordered a seasonal orange cardamom latte (only comes iced), which had subtle floral notes and a mild citrus flavor. It was delicious. I wish it came hot, but that is just preference. A great local spot! I will continue to come back if I am in the area.
