I love this place! I always get their brûlée bubble milk tea and it is always delicious! I think they use condense milk? Anyways it tastes so sweet and I love it. I have also not been able to find replica elsewhere that is as tasty, so it’s something I look forward to getting when I’m here. The service was prompt. We went when it was not busy so we ordered and got our drinks immediately. The interior is also quite nice. It’s clean and minimalistic with friendly blue walls. There’s also board games in the back so it’s a great place to hang with friends.

I love the bubble tea here! I ordered the Taro Milk Tea with boba and I was obsessed! I went with my parents and tried their drinks(Thai tea and the mango coconut jelly drink) and they were both so good! Everything was under $10 and definitely affordable! On the cup of the bubble tea, there is a cute mini red heart decoration and I love it ❤️

Had a Thai milk tea. The tea is surprisingly good, not as artificial as a lot of other tea stores I’ve been to. Boba is pretty solid as well.

When I think of boba, this is what I’ve dreamed of. I got the strawberry yakult with mango popping bubbles and it was amazing! The straws made it easy to get the bubbles and the cap had a little plug, that you could put over the hole and even a storing place for it. The cup felt high quality. Overall, this is the best boba I’ve had and I’d definitely recommend this place:)

The mochi was really good! I got the taro tapioca bubble tea. The drink was cold and delicious andthe brown sugar boba was warm and freshly made. The people were friendly, it was a really nice experience 👍

OMG I loved this place the tea was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome. I ordered coconut mango milk without jelly and with boba. It was awesome. The milk coconut and mango all were there withoit being too sweet nor too sour. Also there was a great little sitting area and it was fun to be there. Us the cup was solid and I was able to go home and wash it to reuse it as my one cup. 🙂🙂

I love U Tea, I come here often, especially during summer since its only a 15 minute walk my place. I almost always get Thai Iced Tea with boba. If I could recommend, it would be that. Their other drinks are good though, but some can be a little too milky for my taste. The atmosphere is cozy, but often times there are not enough seats for everyone, and you usually just have to be lucky. If you’re looking for a quick grab and go, this is the place as you can be in and out within a minute.

It’s okay bubble tea. I’ve tried better but there is not that many options of boba in Ithaca and this one is decent one that we’ve tried Place was empty when we visited in July but I guess that it’s focused on students so it makes sense that it’s empty during summer

Good tea, small store and often really crowded. Wish they had given me more milk tea in my cup of ice :(

This place definitely tries but not quite hard enough. So many bubble tea places to choose from on the same block. A good alternative if you really need bubble tea.

Just across a gorgeous from the Cornell campus, Utea has a shockingly diverse selection of sweet Asian beverages. Although I've had Boba before, Utea was the first place I encountered many of their more foreign menu items. If you're in the mood for a sweet drink, exotic (by American standards) flavors, and a relaxing vibe, then Utea is for you. If you happen to be a Boba connoisseur, you may be a tad bit disappointed.

Ordered a milk tea with bubbles and it was good, but too sweet, so lower the sugar levels if you can. The tea aroma could be a bit stronger.

A good place to sit and relax with your friends (if you are lucky enough to secure a table). But personally I find the tea's taste below average. Not aromatic like many other bubble teas I have had in my life.

Pretty mid bubble tea- bubbles are hard and small, drinks are watery, and it’s pretty pricey. Service is generally not that good either. Only nice thing is that it’s a great place to hang out and play some board games. It also has more convenient hours than KFT.

H

The drink is good, but the male cashier I met today was not friendly. After I ordered the tea, he just rushed to prepare the tea and ignored my requirement about it. And it turned out that he didn’t listen to my requirements carefully and gave me a wrong one.

B

Pretty run-of-the-mill bubble tea place, in my opinion. The drinks are good, but there isn't much flexibility when it comes to size (lots of drinks only had large). Also, the staff didn't seem particularly welcoming and gave short responses that were tough to understand.

2/3 drinks we purchased were excellent. The 3rd was a cup of milk with a little brown sugar. The rap they were playing was not edited, and the lyrics were vulgar and cringey. Don't bring small kids. Unless you want them to learn new words.

Customer service was eh. My mongo milk tea was chunky I couldn't drink the beverage. It was basically a mango with some sweet substance. Wouldn't recommend. Wouldn't go back.
