Bubble Tea near Santa Cruz

“Ume Tea has really good boba, a little bit pricey, but overall worth it. Although when I do go to get boba from there, it sounds like the manager gives their employees a pretty hard time over the slightest inconveniences. Not sure why. But yeah overall, good service!“

“If you are on a tight budget probably not the best place on campus but if you can afford around a $12 lunch with drink definitely a spot to check out. They have nice sandwiches, burgers & fries, pasta, coffee, desserts etc. Staff is very nice and carefully crafts your order with thoughtfulness! There is often a wait but worth the wait, tables often are shared and you bus your own dishes. Recommend the mahi bowls and basil pasta!“

“I am seriously impressed by the cuisine at My Thai Beach on the Capitola Beach. We ate there two nights in a row, and I’m delighted to say the food was consistently good both nights. \n\nThe food was bright, prepared with care, fresh, flavorful and well-balanced. This was no gloppy, sloppy imitation of Thai flavors. It is mindfully prepared, honoring the fresh ingredients. \n\nThere are several duck dishes on the menu and I went full duck each night. The duck larb was slices of roasted duck dressed with a delicious, balanced dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, roasted rice powder and aromatics, and served with vibrant fresh slices of red onion and sweet seasonal tomatoes. \n\nThe duck noodle soup was equally carefully constructed. A delicious clear broth, slices of that succulent duck, brilliant green baby spinach leaves, green onion, and fine wheat noodles. \n\nThis is new ownership only a few months old, so ignore earlier reviews of a different team. The place is itself is kind of funky and it’s right on the beach. There are 2 tables that look out on the charming Capitola beach. \n\nThe staff are friendly and helpful. I’ll be back to try more of the menu.“

“I was riding my motorcycle from my dr appt in San Jose back to Monterey, and stopped here to stretch my legs. The banh mi thit heo was awesome. I took half home to my wife so she could see how good it tastes—we haven’t found any restaurants around Monterey area that serve good banh mi, so we’re going to be coming back.“
