I feel that Heytea's quality is really consistent, even though its price are a bit higher than other boba shops. This time I tried their Coconut Matcha Bbo, which has cloud, macha, coconut milk and boba. It tasted great, the flavor was on point. I ordered on their app, which makes it easy to customize your drink. Highly recommended!

Make sure to check the monitor towards the back entrance to get an idea how long it’ll take to make your drink. I went on a Saturday afternoon, and the line was out the door with maybe 20 people in line. It actually went pretty quick compared to the Westlake location which we waited 60-90 mins. I would say this took about 20 minutes for waiting to order. And then another 20 minutes for waiting to pick up. I got the coconut mango drink, and the supreme Macha latte. Both were very good. The Matcha latte was very strong and creamy (one of the best I had). And the coconut mango drink was very light and refreshing. We also got the Bobo oat milk, Which was good, but it’s basically just oat milk, brown sugar, and their version of Boba, so I think I’ll skip that next time. For some reason, some of their drinks can only be 70% or 30% sweet.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently visited Heytea and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding me through their menu since it was my first time. I tried their signature cheese foam tea, and it was a game-changer! The balance of flavors was perfect—creamy, rich, and not overly sweet. The boba pearls were fresh, chewy, and added the perfect texture to the drink. I also appreciated how fresh and high-quality the ingredients felt. The shop itself is clean, modern, and has a cozy vibe, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The service was quick, and the drinks were beautifully presented—perfect for snapping a photo before enjoying! If you're a boba lover or just looking to try something new, Heytea is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back and try more of their creative and delicious offerings. Highly recommend! 5/5 stars without a doubt! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Mmmm I got the brown sugar cheese milk, wow!!! So delicious and only waited about 5 minutes, I'm not kidding. This place is amazing!

HEYTEA is a good choice if you are looking for your milk tea fix. They are on the pricier side. I would also say their drinks are a little sweeter for their recommended sugar levels, so I would maybe get 70%-50% sugar. It’s also one of the very few places that has drinkable mochi. But overall, great quality drinks. The triple matcha drink is delicious.

Honestly, the best boba I’ve ever had in my life! Perfect flavor, perfect texture, and absolutely worth coming back for.

A friend recommended this place, & I came to try many times. I think these 4 are the ok drinks here: the supreme bobo milk tea (for 1st time, after that it becomes boring, too creamy & to sweet), the cold jasmine milk tea (very strong), coconut mango boom ( which my son likes), & recently the pistachio cloud king jasmine (light/less sugar adjustment). I like the way they provide the paper bag, it looks fancy. The shop is small & clean. Downside: take really long time to get the drink, all their milk teas taste the same flavour as the supreme bobo milk tea. Nothing different when adding bobo into the drink. I guess they using too much brown sugar, that’s why it becomes too sweet when adding bobo into the drink. I don’t recommend to add bobo into the black milk tea with less sugar. It tastes sooo sweet. I bought my drink at 13:25 & just drink 2 sips to taste, & the drink still full at 10:41pm. This is the first time I’ve ever been able to drink a milk teas. Second one is the triple supreme matcha latte, it tastes bitter & blind, we had to throw it away.

Pretty good drinks but there are very long, inaccurate wait times! The estimate was 16 mins after ordering, and it was actually 40 mins until I got my drink. They need to have better time estimates.

The drinks are not too sweet and boba good consistency. However, I ordered the boba milk tea with less ice and got food poisoning after consuming it. I think bc the boba was hot and so it warmed the milk and bacteria grew rapidly so the drink made me sick

Ordered at 7:52 and received my drinks at 8:52. Exactly one hour wait for two drinks. The guy next to me ordered one drink and was waiting at least a half hour. Drinks are good, I went here cause I’ve been to the sf location but they were clean and quick there. Here, not really. I worked in restaurants so I tried to be understanding but come on.

I got a Crisp Grape Boom and a Coconut Mango Boom. The Crisp Grape Boom was very watery and not slushy at all which is weird because this drink is supposed to be a slush. That was the 1st issue with the drink, and the 2nd issue was that the drink was not even filled up to the top of the cup. That is frustrating since I was excited and looking forward to the drinks.

It was not as delicious as I thought! There was no taste at all. There were a lot of seeds in the grape flesh. Every time I took a sip, there were seeds. It was very bitter! Very disappointed! And when I ordered it, I didn't know it was a smoothie. They even asked us how much ice we wanted! If it was a smoothie, there was no need to ask.

came for the opening and the line was not managed well and waited 2 hours in line ( an hour before they opened was 26 in line). all the international kids people kept cutting and the workers were not doing anything about it somehow there were people also placing online orders even tho it was unavailable for me when i checked and it defeated people lining up. by the time i had left there were already at 250 people and with how disorganized and poorly managed this was. will not revisit this location anytime soon and will stick to the daly city one. the drinks here are good but can be overpriced

I ask for less ice and less sugar. The drink was 90% ice and 10% milk tea. I waited for 30 mins for this drink on a cold day.

The redeem coupon in the app is a scam. Once you redeemed, there are conditions ans terms they didn't say before, for example must spend $10 and most of their drinks are under $10. And only a few certain drinks can use the coupon. And you must spend it within 30 days. They just want you to spend and order more and not get what you wanna drink.

I like their drinks compared with other brands out there. But little pricey! Noted to the owners!! Please water hosing down your front door sidewalk before open at 11 AM. This is due to strong smells while standing and waiting on pur orders! This is particularly so right by the BART entrance/exit steps. Thank you, and I will update my rating if this is corrected!
