    I just realized I've visited this Ume store many times since they opened, but somehow never got around to writing a review. I'm so glad to have Ume near my house. The drinks and food are always great, and the staff are friendly and helpful. I visited yesterday for their free mini figure promotion with the White Peach Yogurt drink, and it was such a fun little treat and the new flavor was awesome. One thing I really like about Ume is that they're always coming out with new flavors. I enjoy trying their new menu items, and most of the time, it's a hit. I also picked up a Ume gift card, which is a great deal for a frequent customer like me. Definitely a neighborhood favorite for me, and I'll be back to try more new flavors!

    Online orders are easy and efficient! I've been taking advantage of their bogo deals. I've had the orange and watermelon. Although they are refreshing, the tea is on the light side. Favorite drink so far is their coconut mango. Sign up for their rewards and receive a deal for your birthday!

    Really cute store - so pink and girly. Drinks are good and the employees were so helpful even though they're super busy :) thank you!

    I like this place since there were a lot of people so you know it's popular and legit, but they also had a lot of staffing so that they can keep up with the orders. Their drinks are wonderful too! I need to try other items besides matcha!

    Well packaged

    A big shout out to brain !!! Brian was incredibly kind and helpful! I brought my two daughters, and since they usually can't finish a full milk yogurt ,he generously offered to split one drink into two cups for them. They love pearls, and he even added pearls to both cups, which made them so happy. What impressed me even more was that when Brian helped prepare and bring out our drinks, he wasn't even clocked in yet--he was helping us while still off the clock. He truly went above and beyond without being asked. Brian is such a thoughtful and genuinely nice person, and his excellent customer service made our experience extra special. Thank you so much, Brian! Ume will be always go to place for sure !

    UMe Tea has been all over my feed and i finally decided to try it out today. initially, i wanted to go to the Cupertino location but because it was an additional 20 minutes, we decided to go to the closest location to us. we walked in and it looked pack but it really wasn't. it's just the layout of have they placed things. tell me why in the world would you put the kiosk right at the door and people line up just to block the whole entrance. stupid much? move the kiosk more in so the whole space can be utilized. the line grew long and no one helped nor took orders at the register. we just had to wait for the ONE SINGLE KIOSK available. finally i got to the front of the line and decided on one drink because nothing seemed appealing. got a text message that i'll be texted again once my drink was ready. got my drink after a few minutes and it was just ok. the boba was not what i like ... it was more mushy than chewy. no bounce whatsoever. i will not be retuning to this location. layout is horrible, no one was even helpful nor did they acknowledge anyone they walked in. perhaps i will try the cupertino location and if it all tastes the same, i will remove UMe Tea from my lists of boba spots to go to.

    This UMe Tea location has just opened up and I am thrilled! It takes over where the salad place used to be. The parking is challenging during peak hours in this shopping plaza. Small interior with a few tables outside only. I didn't see any tables inside. Only one kiosk to order from. The service was friendly and polite. Brown Sugar Boba & Mochi Black Milk Tea: Brown sugar and black milk tea drizzled with brown sugar syrup, with soft mochi and boba pearls (3.5/5). The mochi was hard to suck up through the straw. Otherwise, it was a pretty good drink. Support your local business.

    Boba tea shops are popping up everywhere they come and go and UMe Tea takes over Jamba Juice spot. I came by on a Friday morning when I saw this large size pink bunny rabbit outside the front entrance. From inside and out it's all around pink decorative and bright as a sunshine. Customer service has been outstanding I guess being the only customer made a big difference. I placed my order via a self-service kiosk chose the grape green tea w/tea jelly regular ice 30% sweetness $5.95 comes in large size only very refreshing and six takoyaki balls chopped octopus drizzled with kewpie mayonnaise topped with bonito flakes non-spicy a great appertizers for $8.95. Would definitely be back best to come on a weekday rather than on a weekend when it's pack with shoppers. Ample parking despite being surrounded with so many business in this over crowded shopping mall.

    I love Ume tea so I was excited to have one open so close to work. It's a small shop with a bench seating along one wall for about 6 guests and three small tables outside. Like every other ume tea, it's very pink and cute inside inline with their branding. My only negative comment is that it's not as clean inside as I would like, specifically the floor. They also don't have a bathroom but I honestly don't remember if the others do or not. I ordered popcorn chicken and a crème brûlée Thai tea with boba. The chicken was hot with the perfect amount of seasoning. The tea was amazing! Sweet & creamy without being too sweet. When you walk in, you order from a tablet, so I didn't speak to anyone until my food came out and the items came out quickly. I'm looking forward to going back.

    I got free bunny figure !

    My favorite boba shop! I love the white peach drink as you don't need a lot of sugar w it. The employees are very kind. The store is very pinkand clean.

    Super cute boba spot! I really liked how kind the staff was and how cute the decor and design of the shop actually is. It's very on brand and themed. The screen is super helpful, let's you know whos order is being prepared and who's is ready. I will definitely be returning!

It was just left at "order confirmed" and I walked in at the time it said it word be ready expecting them to not have started due to the tracker and they pulled from fridge when I arrived. 2.) all 3 drinks tasted watered down. Not sure how early they made these. 3.) lychee fruit tea was flavorless. Absolutely no lychee flavored and taste like sugar when I ordered 0%. Paid a $1 for aloe Vera and was pretty skimpy on it. 4.) coco mango is literally blended coco milk and ice and mango syrup left at the bottom. Just so artificial. 5.) egg coffee was ok, but again watered down. Would not order online again since their tracking bar didn't work or workers chose not to update. The cups/serving was pretty big, so if you care about quantity vs quality- you'll enjoy this place.

It makes it super worth the price too. Because I felt I was getting a higher quality drink for the same place as elsewhere (about 8$ with taxes) For location, it's inside of a bigger store, so don't get confused. Also if you're in a rush, they make the drinks per order and the matcha takes a while. You'll generally have to wait 10-15 minutes, so not great for a quick lunch stop during your break or something like that (that's when I initially went ). But I would definitely return when I have the time.

So far I've tried the yuzu, mango cloud, passion fruit, and hojicha brown sugar, and there wasn't a miss among them. Plenty of flexibility on sugar and ice levels too. The setting is a nice bonus. It shares a space with a small market, another café, and a food stall, so there's plenty to eat and browse. It's tucked in the back of the complex, which keeps it quiet and low-traffic, and there's plenty of seating. Parking is easy too, with a lot right there. The reason this isn't five stars is the cup system and how my return was handled. If you're staying in, you can borrow their cups for free, but for to-go you need to bring your own vessel or pay a $2 deposit on one of their jars, refunded when you return it. I get the idea, and it's nice for the planet, but in practice it's a hassle. When I brought my jar back on this visit, the staff member inspected every inch of it, then discussed it with a coworker right in front of me, who then said something along the lines of "we can't sell that, but it's okay, just take it." It wasn't said to me directly, but I was standing right there, and it felt uncomfortable. I'd run the jar through the dishwasher, nothing unusual, and friends who came in afterward returned theirs the same way with no issue at all. They also didn't apply the discount for bringing my own vessel until I asked. Between the pushback on the return and having to ask for the discount, it was a frustrating experience. Honestly, I'd rather a café just use compostable paper cups. Great drinks, but I'm on the fence about coming back.

    Really lovely little coffee shop that leans into that industrial warehouse vibe in the best way…read more The coffee was great--I ended up trying both on-tap cold brews on the day we went because I didn't realize that buying a bag of whole bean coffee came with a free coffee drink. With some coffees a second cup will give me a stomach ache (especially since I drink my cold brews black and bitter like my soul), but I had no problems with their cold brews! I also got the vegan stonefruit scone (baked by Sweet Dragon) and while a little on the dry side (common with scones), paired extremely well with the coffee and had good flavor. Husband got a cappuccino and a strawberry mini pie and was extremely pleased with his order. The service is friendly, but some things may have been new on the day we went. They almost forgot my cold brew until we asked at the counter, as well as stating that they didn't have anything to heat up my husband's strawberry pie (which seems odd, since a little toaster oven seems like a simple fix for that), but apparently it was fantastic at room temperature anyway. Seating was absolutely full when we got there and we were lucky to snag a table as another couple left, so it seems like a popular Saturday morning spot. Several folks were working on laptops, and it seems like a kid-friendly place. The decor is a clean and modern/trendy industrial style, which works well for the space, and the windows provide nice daylight. Overall, a good coffee shop and I am really happy to see vegan pastry options! My husband is getting into pinball, which was part of the motivation to come out and try Chromatic, so I am sure we'll be back again next time he wants to hit up Slingshot (in the same building), and I look forward to the coffee and treats!

The seating area is quite limited for the large crowd it attracts, making the atmosphere inside feel a bit chaotic at peak times. Fortunately, the baristas are super polite and work fast, keeping the long lines moving efficiently. The coffee menu and the retail bean selection are both impressive. I decided to try a dulce de leche coffee. While I was expecting a strong caramel profile of dulce de leche, the flavor turned out to be fairly subtle rather than prominent. It added a significant sweetness, but without knowing the order beforehand, identifying the exact flavor would have been tough. That said, the coffee itself was still refreshing The high quality of the coffee bean really shone through, delivering a rich aroma and the ideal caffeine kick for a breezy morning. Great coffee beans and fast service make it worth dropping in, even if the indoor seating situation is a bit tight.

Located directly at the corner of S. Second St and E. William St, this family owned-and-operated coffeeshop is in the heart of downtown. Parking here during any given day can be quite challenging; especially during the workweek as there are various offices around here as well as being in close proximity to San Jose State University. Business hours are 7am-4pm seven days a week. I came here during the morning of Friday 9/4/2026 at around 10:00am. Fortunately I was able to find a nearby parking spot but as a reminder, meters are everywhere. The exterior of the business showcases their business name complete with several planter boxes, colorful outdoor seating, and umbrellas to shield out the sun. The interior is small and quaint yet there is still ample seating for roughly two dozen customers. It is one of the smaller coffeeshops I have been to and can get quite loud. So if you're focused on studying or conducting a virtual meeting, this may not be the place for you. Since I was saving my appetite for breakfast somewhere else, I ended up ordering a drink. And to those that have been here highly praised their "Pandan Latte". This is Asias answer to a vanilla latte as they use sweetened pandan-infused extract to give it a very unique taste. I chose 2% milk and wanted to go with an iced version as it was a relatively warm summer morning. This place does offer many more unique offerings that include lattes made with banana cream. Piloncillo coffee (widely known as café de olla), and Madagascar flavors. Keep in mind that this place does not accept cash so make sure you have your cards ready to go and of course, they take Apple/Google Pay. I will say that my Pandan Latte was made to absolute perfection as they taste was not too sweet and not to bitter. The service was also above average as this small business had a very festive vibe to it. I also wanted to add that they sell a nice assortment of whole bean coffee, teas, and other various merchandise on their website, https://www.academiccoffee.com/ as well as in their brick-and-mortar stores. Furthermore, they opened a second location on Winchester Blvd/Forest Ave right near Valley Fair Mall in Santa Clara. With excellent service, prime location, and delicious beverages, I am giving "Academic Coffee" in San Jose a perfect five-star rating.
