Superior Brown Sugar Boba
Dean W.

Messy. A friend studying up for a big exam in the area wanted to check this spot out - so we stopped by last Saturday. Apparently, Hey Tea has only been open for a few months - per the employee I asked. On a side note, I think this spot might be cursed for boba tea/cafes - since I remember this exact spot hosting a number of boba/milk tea shops over the past decade - since the time I was a UCI student to now. Places never last more than a year or so before shuttling, and in comes the next cafe. It was fairly crowded when we stopped by - mostly people waiting for their drink, the ordering line had only a person in front of us. The menu is available right at the register - which probably isn't the best spot to put a menu, especially since that means people won't be able to decide what they want until they get to the register - causing a potential roadjam. They should consider putting the menu on a display stand upfront, or a menu posted to the storefront or wall or something. I opted for the Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea, while my friend got the Coconut Mango Boom. We paid and then grabbed a seat at the community table - which only had stools on one side. We waited. And waited. And waited. It took nearly 25 minutes to get our drink. In the meanwhile, I got up to use their restroom... which doesn't have a lock - or if it does, it doesn't work. Or no one knows how to use it, cuz I walked right in on someone sitting on the toilet for #2. Sowwie!!! Drinks came out - I snapped a few shots around the scenic interior - but the drinks themselves were nothing memorable. Certainly did not justify the higher than average cost of the drinks. My boba pearls were soggy, not chewy or fresh tasting. You'd think considering their healthy looking customer flow that they'd have fresh boba pearls, but that didn't seem to be the case with my drink. Nothing was particularly memorable about my drink. I really don't see myself going out of the way to stop by here again, especially considering there's a number of other higher quality/better priced spots in the Irvine area.

Mango grapefruit boom (650mL)

This location has some tables for seating, unlike the one on Jeffrey in Irvine. Parking can be tight, but it's easier to find since the plaza is less busy. You can also park around the corner by Ralph's and walk over. I usually order pickup through the Heytea app, and it's almost always ready on time. Pickup orders sometimes close during peak hours. Their points system is nice since I get Heytea weekly, heh. The Mango Grapefruit Boom is my go-to and is extremely refreshing and still sweet even with minimal sugar. It has real mango chunks, and the grapefruit flavor definitely comes through. Their milk teas and matcha drinks are also high quality and very fragrant. Overall, Heytea uses quality ingredients, and every drink I've tried on the menu has been good.

I really want to gatekeep this location because it doesn't get crowded like the one on Jeffrey. I didn't know about this location until today and it is so much closer to where I live and this location has better parking than Jeffrey. Their online ordering was down before we got there but it's ok, there were only 4 people in front of us, no big deal. Ordered the Yingde tea with cheese foam and it was delicious. I will definitely be back!

Coconut Mango Boom x 2

Our neighbor/friend recommended Hey Tea to us a few months ago. Ever since, we have been hooked. Their Coconut Mango Boom is perfection. It seems like we get it once a week. We frequent this location a lot. I'm always in the mood for Hey Tea. The only negative is that sometimes the app doesn't work for mobile orders, and it's usually when there is a BOGO deal.

Came to HeyTea with my friends and there was about a 30-minute wait, but honestly the line was worth it. This will forever and always be my favorite boba spot. I got the Blue Blossom Mango, which is hands down their best drink in my opinion. I put all my friends on and we either got the regular mango drink or the Blue Blossom Mango: both were super good. There's a subtle hint of coconut that makes it creamy without being overpowering, and the sago is such an amazing touch. The texture and flavor combo is just elite. The ambience is a small little shop that barely fits around 20 people, and the service can be slow, but that's just because they're busy. If you come, expect to wait about 30 minutes for your drink. But if you're patient, it's 100% worth it.

Matcha Cloud Coconut Blue and Coconut Mango Blue
Rishi C.

Stopped by for some drinks just now, and was pretty happy with the experience. The shop is located next to Jamba and there's plenty of parking nearby. The shop is super modern with a bunch of seating inside and out. Service was nice, there was a ton of staff all working, and the shop was never not busy, so props to the staff for keeping things constantly moving. I got a Matcha Cloud Coconut Blue and a Coconut Mango Blue. I honestly feel like everything from the presentation to the names of the drinks is pretty gimmicky, but the drinks were still tasty. I wish the Coconut Mango Blue tasted more like Coconut, and I don't think I'm sold on the "cloud" concept. Regardless, I did enjoy my drinks. If you want to go somewhere for a trendy looking drink that you can take pics of for social, then look no further. Would I go out of my way to come back? Probably not. Would I stop by if I was in the area and craving boba? Perhaps.

I ordered King Jasmine Milk Tea! Something about their tea selection is superb. I requested little sugar and light cheese cloud, light ice. Every drop is packed with flavor. Intensely delicious! Can't wait to try the baristas other suggestions next time. I loved having this while doing some weekend work :)

Yingde Cheese Milk Tea
Nicole L.

Tried the new Yingde Cheese Milk Tea and it was light and refreshing! Service was friendly but wait time was about 45 minutes. Interior is well lit with a few seats.

Grape and coconut mango boom
Vivian S.

Hey Tea did not disappoint. I ordered the Coconut Mango and the Grape Boom with less sweetness, and both were absolutely delicious. I was really craving something refreshing, and these drinks hit the spot perfectly. The flavors were well balanced, not overly sweet, and tasted fresh and light, which made them even more enjoyable. This is definitely a great place to stop when you want a refreshing drink, and I will for sure be coming back to try more.

Mango Coconut Boom is super yummy! It's the only thing I've gotten here so far because it's that delicious! Every sip is different and fun. The ingredients just go so well together. Be prepared to wait in line. We went on a very cold Monday evening, and the line was out the door, but if you want to treat yourself to a yummy treat, it's worth it. We waited for a while. I didn't clock it but it wasn't quick, but when we finally did get them - delicious!

Mango Coconut Blue
Kaylee S.

I tried out the new Heytea location in Irvine on a weekday night, and it was still fairly busy. I ordered the Mango Coconut Blue, but it took about 30 minutes to receive, which made the location feel a bit understaffed. The drink tasted slightly more artificial than what I've experienced at their other Irvine location. It was still enjoyable overall, but it seems like the new location may still be working through quality control, pacing, and staffing as they get settled. The inside of this location has indoor and outdoor seating which is also nice!

Mango coconut boom and king jasmine guava
Samantha L.

Favorites are the pistachio king cloud, cloud matcha latte, and cloud crisp grape. This location is much more lowkey than the one on Jeffrey with much easier parking. I always order ahead of time on the app so that the drink is ready when I go to pickup. Pro tip, they also offer free delivery coupons on Wednesday if you wanted a sweet treat without the hassle of going to pick the drink up in person!

Hey Tea is a decent boba place. I would definitely get their teas instead of their fruity drinks. This spot is a to go place so you place your order then wait for your drink to go. They only had one kiosk and it wasn't working for a bit. They also don't text or print your receipt. They make you take a picture of your number which we forgot to do so it was a little confusing getting our drink. Good tea but wish there were chairs or benches outside.

First time at OMOMO. Finally got to try this place after seeing so many posts & reels on Instagram…read more There was a small line inside. Waited about 10 mins for my drink. I ordered the Omomo Matcha & I got it 50% sweet. It's a delicious matcha blended drink with that swirly goodness. The matcha flavor was balanced very well with the sweet creme. The sweetness was just right for me. This drink is definitely a must-try. Ambiance of this location was small & the restrooms are closed to the public.

2 words..PINEAPPLE ALICE!!! Lol If you haven't stopped by your local OMOMO recently, I highly…read moresuggest that you make a trip because their seasonal drinks right now are FIRE! I legit am on my second day (in a row..don't judge me) of stopping by to order the pineapple Alice. I love me some pineapple & coconut any day, so this drink was a winning combo for me. In a nutshell, it's Greek yogurt blended with fresh pineapple, and topped with their house-made coconut whip. First time I got 50% sweetness level, which is good, but being a fruity smoothie, I would have preferred it a lil sweeter, thus 2nd time around, I learned my lesson and got 80%..and it was perfect! Trust..it wasn't overly sweet at all. It was dreamy heaven. Thankfully, this Irvine-Walnut Village plaza location didn't have a crazy wait/line when I stopped by today around 3ish pm, on route to pick up my daughter from school. The store was clean, w/ minimalistic neutral decor..loved the chill aesthetic vibe. Service was great and efficient. OMOMO is highly recommended by this RxFoodie (and my 2nd fav boba shoppe in OC still), so def go check it out and become addicted like ME!
