Hand-crafted bubble teas, fresh tapioca pearls, mochi, bao buns and Japanese pancakes. Aberystwyth’s most colourful cafe — Ceredigion’s student favourite since day one.
Yum Yum Tree was born from a simple idea: bring the vibrant, joyful world of Asian bubble tea culture to West Wales. Nestled in the heart of Aberystwyth, we opened our doors with a mission to serve genuinely exceptional drinks made with care, quality ingredients, and a whole lot of colour.
From our freshly cooked tapioca pearls — prepared every four hours so they’re always perfectly chewy — to our imported Taiwanese tea bases and seasonal fruit blends, every sip is crafted with intention. We’re not just a cafe; we’re a destination for students, locals, and curious visitors alike.

Something for everyone
From classic milk teas to fruity blends, matcha specials to handcrafted desserts — we’ve got every craving covered.
Every drink at Yum Yum Tree is completely customisable. From sweetness to ice level, toppings to milk type — you’re in control. Because no two people taste the world the same way.
There’s bubble tea, and then there’s bubble tea made with genuine care, quality ingredients and a commitment to doing things properly every single time.
We import our tea leaves directly from Taiwan and Japan. Our ceremonial grade matcha is sourced from Uji, Kyoto. Corners are never cut.
Our tapioca pearls are cooked fresh every four hours and never stored overnight. Our fruit syrups are made from real fruit, not concentrate. Freshness is non-negotiable.

We’ve served thousands of cups in Aberystwyth. Here’s what our community thinks.
“Genuinely the best bubble tea I’ve had outside of London. The taro milk tea is outstanding — thick, creamy, perfectly sweet. I come here at least twice a week.”
“I drove from Machynlleth specifically for the Japanese pancakes and the matcha latte. Both were extraordinary. The staff were so friendly and patient explaining all the options. Already planning my return trip.”
“As someone with a dairy allergy, I’m always nervous trying new places. Yum Yum Tree made me feel completely at ease — so many options and they really know their allergens. The oat milk matcha latte is phenomenal.”
“The brown sugar tiger milk tea is absolutely stunning to look at and even better to drink. The interior is so fun and colourful — perfect for a study break with friends.”
“I can’t believe somewhere this good exists in West Wales. The mochi are just as good as any I’ve had in Cardiff or Bristol. Highly, highly recommend. The loyalty card system is brilliant too.”
“Took my kids here as a treat and they absolutely loved it — choosing their own sweetness level made them feel so grown up. The staff are brilliant with families. We’ll be back every holiday.”
