Ume Tea

"I got the Brown Sugar boba milk tea with Mochi and it was really yummy! I haven’t had good boba in Santa Cruz and this pleasantly surprised me. There were only 2 people working and there’s always a line so expect to wait for a bit in line here. I would say the wait was worth it for me. I got my drink very fast though, almost right after I put in the order. 10/10 would come back again."

"Someone asked me what made this my favorite boba place and I responded: From the pearls which are soft, chewy, and sweet, to the absolute delicious teas, not only are their teas crafted with the perfect amounts of sweetness, tartness, or richness, but their teas are creative with fruits that are fresh and uncommon in boba settings, AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF THEY HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CUPS all to fit with their brand name UME “it’s all about U & me” I have tried many many boba shops across the state and have yet to find any that top Ume."

"Being left with no choice but to try ume tea, my past experiences in the Bay Area had left me underwhelmed. However, trying it here was a game-changer. The ume tea, especially in mochi drinks, was a delightful surprise and completely altered my view of this beverage. I highly recommend trying their drinks in the SC area. I won’t say it’s the top or the best, but it’s not bad. Only thing to note is that the wait might be longer than you expected."

"Best boba in town! Friendly staff, fast service, and good quality tea. Their milk tea’s are lactose free for those who are lactose intolerant!"
