    I think that the drinks themselves were pretty good and unique (but slightly overpriced). We tried their new limited-edition king jasmine honeydew and blue coconut matcha. Overall, the drinks were pretty good and the look of the space and the drinks were both very visually appealing. However, I do recommend ordering online in advance. We ordered in person and it took a while for us to get our drinks, even though there was no one else at the location, so they seem to prioritize their mobile orders over in person.

    Really enjoyed my experience at HEYTEA! I tried their Coconut Fused Matcha and absolutely loved it. The matcha had a smooth, rich flavor, and the coconut added a refreshing sweetness that balanced it perfectly. It wasn't overly sweet, and the combination was really unique and satisfying. The drink was fresh and beautifully presented, and the overall ambiance was modern and welcoming. The service was also friendly and efficient, making the experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite matcha drinks--I'll be coming back for another!

    Excellent quality . I prefer this location because the parking lot is more spacious. You can download their app to order online. Hint: you can customize your own sticker that will be printed on the cup, which i thought is so cool My top choices: -Kale Boost Tea with Chia seed : my topc choice for hot summer days. Perfect mixture of pressed grapes , kales, sugar cane and tea in this drinks, it tatse so amazing and healthy lol. No wonder its one of the top drinks here. -King Jasmine Milk Tea: very strong tea flavor, I think its seasonal but Jasmine Milk tea is another good option -Triple Supreme Matcha ( I prefer light sweet) - Coconut Mango Boom: - Lojin Milk tea : a little smoother and lighter flavor than jasmine milk tea.

    I've heard a lot of hype about Hey Tea and was stoked that there was one nearby my work event. We had walked here from our conference center at lunch to try Hey Tea. The inside was very minimalistic and cute. I thought the lights and decor suited the vibes of the art on their drinks. When looking at the menu, it was very simplistic unless you ordered a seasonal item. The cashier was interesting and very young; she didn't say much. I ordered their brown sugar milk tea with boba and I have to say I was quite disappointed. The drink itself tasted like milk and brown sugar. No tea in it. I felt like I was drinking very watery milk. Their boba was okay and nothing that was amazing. Sadly, it wasn't a good first experience at Hey Tea. I don't think I'll be coming back again.

    Next time I'm craving heytea, I will go to this location! SO much cleaner and does not have a weird scent like the other location did when I visited. There was plenty of parking up front and our order came out pretty quickly. We did go on a Friday a little before 4pm. The only difficult part was that they didn't have a printed menu, their screen was down, and the QR code took you to download their app. So check the Yelp menu before if you don't have the app! We ordered the mango coconut book and the super brown sugar milk tea. So yummy! Both pretty sweet but really enjoyed it. The boba was so pillowy soft

    Ordered on the App for pickup with new flavors ( honeydew and strawberry). Both drinks ( meh )weren't as good as previous seasonal flavors. Service was chaotic which made the experience more of a disappointment. Ordered my cheese on the side and didn't even get that. They definitely need to rethink about possibly just packaging the drinks together when the order is place. It wouldn't be such a miscue for customers receiving their drinks !

    A little small location in the Harvard Plaza offering a variety of tea selections. Freshly brewed. Quick service. Consistent with flavoring. Teas are much better than milk teas. Opt for less sugar unless you prefer sweets.

    Decor is.....uhhhhh severe

    Five stars for service here! Three stars for everything else. The gal working the counter was absolutely lovely. I came to order for three other people who didn't check the menu, so I was texting and trying to get things figured out. The young lady working was so patient and truly was great. The rest of the place was odd. The decor was.....severe. I felt like it was the scene where Catherine O'Hara redecorates in the original beetlejuice movie and it's all scary modern furniture. The bench was uncomfortable the decor is uninviting. The music is sort of odd lounge ambient music. The menu is very limited, but nothing very classic to boba places. It was ok. Not spectacular. The boba cost extra and they don't give you much. The service was great! Kind staff and they were fast. I probably won't come here over the abundance of boba in Irvine. It's a vibe. Someone else's vibe.

    Parking 5/5 -A lot of spots available in the plaza parking lot Service 5/5 -Friendly staff, it was pretty busy and it took about 15 minutes for us to get our drink. Food 5/5 -Mango coconut boom, we ordered it light ice with 50% sweetness. Mango was ripe and soft, sago added nice texture to the drink, just like the name tasted like a liquid mango sticky rice except replace the sticky rice with smooth and soft sago balls. Overall a refreshing drink good for any occasion Ambiance 5/5 -Minimalistic interior with decent amount of comfortable seating throughout the shop, air conditioned, very comfortable space.

    Kale boost has a nice container

    I get the kale boost here and it's similar to a drink Auntea Jenny serves which is the kale apple fiber chia seed. They taste similar but sometimes when I poke my straw in the lid of the Auntea Jenny tea, a piece of the styrofoam that it has under the sticker of the lid falls into my drink! I like that Hey Tea doesn't have the same lid because I never have that same problem.

    heytea FINALLY got an oat milk option. i ordered ahead and was expected to wait 5 minutes for my order, but waited around 20-30 minutes. i saw people who ordered in person who received their order faster than i did. i did monitor the order status board and ended up walking up to the counter to get my order after awhile. the drinks were yummy and refreshing tho the interior has a concrete/industrial theme, which i saw some people had qualms w but i didn't mind. i did mind that there was a slight chemical smell throughout the store, including the bathroom. i don't remember if it was the chemical smell of a cleaning compound but i remember finding it unpleasant. it is nice having a heytea in the area w lots of seating but the smell might keep me from staying longer than i needed to

    Unlike the other reviews, we didn't have much of a wait time (prob around 15min on a Saturday night) which was pretty lucky. Drinks were really good and were gently sized for the price. Additionally there was a lot of parking but minimal seating inside and outside. Considering how close this is to UCI, it does get packed fast so I can see why the wait times can range from 15min to an hour. Good drinks though but up to you to take the risk to go or not!

    HORRENDOUS WAIT TIME. They said my order was "being made" and that it would only be a 7 minute wait. It took me 10 minutes just to get there, so I expected it to be ready, but it wasn't. The drink itself is good, but the customer service is really disappointing. After I asked about my order, they told me they never got the ticket / didn't receive the order... even though I ordered directly through their app. Then I waited another 30+ minutes inside after they said they would "expedite" it. It didn't feel like anything was actually expedited, since they kept making other orders while ours was still missing. Just frustrating overall.

    WOW! Just wow! Omomo…read moreis very popular in the Irvine area and during peak hours, the wait can be quite extensive but definitely for good reason. The drinks are absolutely phenomenal from their milk teas to their slushies, each item is made to perfection. Upon entering the establishment, you can expect to have your order taken relatively quickly. They have a variety of high quality beverage options to choose from including fresh tea, fruit tea, milk tea, and their special creamomo creations. Personally, I always get their Omomo matcha which is their signature ice blended drink made with ceremonial matcha. This drink is definitely a must try for anyone going to this spot for the first time, it's one of their best sellers for good reason. You can also get your drinks modified in terms of sweetness and ice level (depending on the drink). Overall, I would highly recommend this drink shop to anyone in the area looking to get a refreshing beverage!

    If you go to omomo often, they always have a line before opening. I lined up around 11:50am, and…read morewas second in line. Upon entering i noticed they now offer mobile ordering and they were already busy making drinks for online orders. Considering being 2nd in line, it took a lot longer this time to get 2 drinks probs from the mobile orders. Note to self to order online next time!! The girl with the pink hair called out my name, i showed my ticket and placed it in the box. She said to show the ticket again to her because i guess she didn't see it. I showed the ticket to her and placed it on the counter. She then said with attitude i can put the ticket back in the box. Her tone and comment was unnecessary. I ignored what she said, took my drinks and left. Review is 3 stars for the interaction I had with her.
