I went to unitea in 2023 when I first visited MI and it has been COMPLETELY revamped. The menu to the interior looks so different. The matcha here is great, and there's a lot to choose from (don't get overwhelmed). You can order from a screen right at the door. They do sell out of items on the weekends so make sure you plan out your visit! read more

After seeing UniTea go viral on TikTok, I haven't been able to get their Banana Pudding Matcha off my mind... I walked into the small little cafe and placed my order on the kiosk... i order the banana pudding matcha, substituted for oatmilk ($0.85 upcharge) because whole milk doesn't sit well with me (yes I know that's how they most likely make the banana pudding *sigh*). After placing my order, it was ready in less than 5 minutes. I took my first sip, and unfortunately was immediately disappointed. I'm a matcha enthusiast and drink it sweet, unsweet, hot, iced, blended... I was met with extremely bitter taste... so I tried with the banana pudding mix and it was sweetness overload. Even mixing the banana into the matcha--all you could taste is sweet. So while I'm glad I was able to give them a try, I don't think I'd try this particular drink again. read more

Stopped by Unitea while visiting Ann Arbor, and it was a great place to grab a drink while walking around downtown and the University of Michigan campus. They have a pretty good selection of matcha drinks, and you can order from a self-service kiosk. I got the mango matcha latte, and my friend got the coconut matcha cloud. Our drinks came out pretty quickly, and the matcha was smooth and easy to drink. There isn't a ton of seating inside, so we just stood around while waiting for our drinks, but we didn't have to wait long. If you're looking to study or hang out with a friend, though, you might have a harder time finding a seat if it's busy. We were taking ours to-go, so it wasn't really an issue. They only have one size for drinks, but I'd definitely come back to try some of their other matcha and coffee options! read more

Not sure how long ago this spot opened but it's new to me and I'm glad I tried it... yum! When you walk in, there are several ordering kiosks but you can also walk up to the counter as I did for assistance. They were helpful in answering my questions about their most popular drinks. Strawberry matcha was mentioned, sold! It was delicious, refreshing and I'd totally order it again. The shop itself is pretty small so it's more of a grab and go type spot. Nice aesthetics and prime location for students. read more

Excellent matcha! Cute spot as well. Only two tables though so not a place to do school/work as they are usually taken. The matcha is definitely pricier than other options in the area. But they do have lots of options. The strawberry was very good! read more

My absolute favorite matcha--not only in Ann Arbor but maybe even in California (my home state) Ann Arbor is so so so lucky to have such an amazing and potently strong matcha place! The color is rich & so vibrant--you can tell this would be a great matcha spot to hit. The ratio from milk to matcha is insane; genuinely such a great ratio where the matcha balances the milk perfectly! The sweetness isn't too sweet, and if you like a real, grassy matcha tasting matcha, Unitea is the place for you! The mango milk tea and matcha soft serve is also the best--huge fan of this combination and incredible kudos to Lina and the team at Unitea! Thank you for being such a kind host to speak to and quick service as well! ‍ read more

My favorite matcha in Ann Arbor! I'm so glad I got to try this with a friend. They have a stocked menu with so many matcha and Vietnamese coffee staples and everything is high quality and tasty and customizable. They offer different types of matcha also which is something I haven't seen at other cafes. There are two kiosks to order from right along the wall to the left when you enter and the order counter is where you pick up your drink when they call your name. They offer oat milk but only for the matchas or basic lattes/coffees - the cold foams and condensed milk is dairy. A great new addition to my cafe break spots - check them out! read more

Highly recommend!!!!! Open late, which I love. I got the ube matcha & it was super creamy. Drank it in 10 mins because it was so good. Multiple other things I'd like to try on the menu so I will be back. Only thing is that you have to find street parking but it was worth it, trust me! read more

I went here two years ago and there were so many fun options, the menu seems more limited this time around and overpriced. The old ambience was a bit more fun. The tapioca pearls were overcooked. I'm a little disappointed because I was excited to try it out again but I was not aware of the changes. read more

I stopped by Unitea to try their matcha latte recently and it was perfect! I'm very picky about matcha drinks, I prefer a more robust matcha taste and unique flavor pairings. Unitea has very unique flavors that are hard to find elsewhere in Michigan like Pandan and Mango. I tried the mango matcha and it was the perfect balance of sweet. The mango flavor is from a jam so it's not overly sweet and slightly tart. The matcha is ceremonial grade and the quality is apparent from both taste and appearance. I would highly recommend Unitea! read more

As a regular customer at Unitea Café, I can honestly say they have some of the best matcha I've had. It's always smooth, rich, and never too bitter, and I especially love their pandan matcha. Their Vietnamese coffee is also really good and full of flavor, which keeps me coming back. Can't even get there without having my strawberry matcha it's one of the best matcha I've ever had. The drinks are always high quality, the portions are generous, and the staff are very friendly, making it a really welcoming spot. read more

Best matcha in Ann Arbor!! They have so many unique matcha flavors like strawberry, mango, black sesame, London Fog, coconut cloud, and einspanner, and every one I've tried has been amazing. The Coconut Cloud Matcha is my go-to in the summer because it's so refreshing. When I'm not in the mood for matcha, I usually get one of their fruit teas, which are also super flavorful. Their Vietnamese coffee is rich, smooth, and has a strong coffee flavor without being overly bitter. On top of that, the service is always incredibly fast and everyone is so friendly. Definitely one of my favorite cafés in Ann Arbor! read more

Love what the new owner has done to the place! I used to go here every once in a while, but the vibes and new menu have given this place a breath of fresh air! Traditional Vietnamese coffee - 5/5 Will definitely come back to their other drinks! read more

Our previous UniTea experiences were all delivery and I'm happy to report I finally physically made it in yesterday and it was great! A few things in particular made me very happy: 1. The return of the taiyaki. I'm not sure how long it was gone exactly but I have not seen it available for quite some time. Not sure if it's available via delivery yet but signage inside said "taiyaki is back" and it was on their in store menu so that was at least an option! You can also order them solo if you want or with ice cream. Whoo! 2. Way more options in store than online ordering. I was shocked at how much I was missing just by going through an app. You order at a kiosk which I also actually really liked since I was able to take my time looking through the menu and customizing things easily. I can imagine it might be a little more frustrating when they're busy but when I was the only one in there it was nice to have the space to dive in without feeling bad I was holding a cashier up. My order was also ready in like 5 minutes which was very speedy! 3. MOCHI DONUTS. To the best of my knowledge they're the first place in Ann Arbor to offer them. I had never had them before and I have to say I like them quite a bit. A bit chewier than a standard donut but they taste great and very cute and photogenic. The place isn't huge but they have a few tables if you want to eat there. It's a cute atmosphere so I'll definitely be doing that in the future (I immediately texted my husband "I demand a date night here."). Not sure how crowded they get during peak times but on a Wednesday around 6pm I was the only one in there. And they're open late-ish which is also a bonus! read more

I'm a bubble tea lover, and I just loved the wide selection here and the ease of browsing and ordering. I ordered the Ube milk tea with boba. Next time, I'm going to try the Ube smoothie. Wish I lived closer to here. The only reason I took away one star is that the place is so cramped and difficult on moving around. There's so space to social distance, and no sign that the kiosks are cleaned between use. read more

We visited A2 and decided to have some drinks at unitea café. My family had a wonderful experience there with the new management. Lina (the manager) was very pleasant and patient; she helped a young family member choose and order a drink. There are so many drink choices and all are great choices. The numerous add-ons are great too. The purpose of so many choices is for customers to order the very drink they want. (Note: You can place your orders on touch screens conveniently located to your left immediately after you enter.) The ambiance is quiet and comfortable. There are a few small tables and a short bench. About 10-15 people fit comfortably. The place is small and cozy so the business model is to serve customers quickly. Loved the drinks and customer service. Did I mention that Lina is awesome?! We'll visit unitea café anytime we're in A2. read more

Quite literally my FAVORITE boba place just for the iced thai milk green tea! If youve never tried you have to try it! It is pretty sweet but not overpowering! Doesnt taste similar to regular thai tea a bit of a lighter taste? I also like how the ice is in smaller chunks! read more

UniTea is the newest bubble tea shop to open in Ann Arbor, and unlike the others they're not a chain! They're located in Iorio's previous spot and just had their grand opening today, but they've been in soft opening for the last week. They have a variety of drinks as well as soft serve, which you can also choose to get in a taiyaki or egg waffle! I believe they have the same owners as V Kitchen, and their menu also includes Vietnamese coffee and a pandan coconut flavor option for the waffles. They're currently running a 25% off grand opening promotion until the 29th. We tried a few items and liked the desserts more than the drinks. Our favorite was the taiyaki soft serve with milk and matcha swirl ($7.50). The egg waffle was also good, but the strawberry and mango swirl soft serve didn't pair that well with it imo. We didn't like the drinks as much though: the black milk tea with boba was the best, with a nice strong tea flavor, but wasn't very milky. The Ube Swirl was mostly milk and not that much ube (it's mostly swirled on the sides). We got it without the cheese cap though so maybe the original is better. We really didn't like the Unitea fruit tea, which is black tea and fruits (passionfruit, pineapple...). We added boba to all the drinks and it was just ok - on the harder and chewier side. They have a lot of drinks on their menu though, so maybe other options are better. The inside of the store is pretty narrow but the have a few seats. The interior decoration is super cute, with lots of balloons and smiley faces. FYI as of today (July 27) masks aren't required inside, and employees weren't wearing masks. They do provide hand sanitizer. Overall 3/5 but bumping up the rating since they're new and have a lot of room to grow, and the milk and matcha soft serve was good. I'd recommend trying them out and supporting a new, local boba shop! read more

Can I just say the music at Unitea really hits different. They have good throwbacks and they have good quality boba and different unique flavors. I was a huge fan of the thai green milk tea but now my new favorite is genmaicha milk tea. I am telling it is so hard to find genmaicha at different boba places so this is my new go to boba place for AA. It takes like brown rice tea and it has a roasty nutty flavor :) I have always been milk tea than fruit tea. read more

This would be the 5th bubble tea location in the area.... explosion of bubble tea shops in Ann Arbor. This place took over Iorio Gelato location... while they do offer bubble tea, they also offer Vietnamese coffee, soft serve, in hopes of differentiating itself from four other bubble shops around the corner. I got the Mangonada and Vietnamese coffee. The coffee was decent, didn't taste that strong Vietnamese coffee flavor that I'm used too. Mangonada was awesome, would recommend this for sure. read more

Good drinks and food. My only regret was not having enough space in my stomach to order a fish waffle and ice cream in addition to my bubble tea. Hope to try this on my next visit! While the store is small, service is quick and speedy. I like to order my drink ahead of time on my mobile Snackpass app and time my walk to the store to ensure little to no wait time. My bubble tea drinks have certainly made for tasty beverages while strolling around downtown and the Diag on campus. Tried the gold leaf before, but I'm not sure it added much flavor wise though it did make my drink look like a beautiful piece of art. Love this spot, hope to come again in the near future! read more

One of my favorite boba shops on campus!! They have super taiyaki ice creams and they're not too sweet but make up for it in softness and smoothness. Furthermore, I love their drinks. My favorite is the thai matcha milk tea but honestly I've never been disappointed here. Their drink sizes are also much larger than other places for about the same prices. read more

Not sure if the boba has gotten better since I first had it but I really love the Taiyaki! My friend and I shared one and we got the matcha ice cream and 3x strawberries toppings. The ice cream itself was pretty average - not a lot of matcha flavor. But the taiyaki was perfect! It wasn't overly crispy - just bready, cakey goodness. Yum! it was delicious. And obviously, you can never go wrong with strawberries! read more
