    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.

    I'm rating this place 2 stars. The drink itself is good; however, my issue is the amount they put in the cup. I took a picture outside after noticing how empty my cup was when I picked up my order. For an $8 drink, 75% of my cup was air and bubbles. 25% was the tea itself. This is not acceptable. I went back to show the worker and she said it's because I ordered it with less ice. Less ice does not mean my drink should be 25%of the cup. The wait is also long and I don't think this store is up to speed yet even though they've been opened for months-- maybe even a year now.

    I got the Coconut Mango Boom from here and it was pretty good. The drink was creamy and not too sweet. I liked the sago and fresh Asian mango chunks. However, I did taste a funky mango bit in my drink, but it didn't ruin it for me. I liked how it felt like I was consuming a healthier dessert. However, I feel like more effort could've been put into my drink as it felt like it was put together in a rush. Also, my friend ordered the same thing right after me, but hers took a while to be made for some reason. There's ample parking in front and some seating inside. Overall, a decent experience here and the Hey Tea chain is still great!

    Superior Brown Sugar Boba

    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.

    Yingde tea with cheese foam
    Joy C.

    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
    Caitlin V.

    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.

    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 :)

    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.

    Yingde Cheese Milk Tea

    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!

On this visit, I had the caramel banana latte, which had a very nice flavor and was not too sweet. The only complaint (and I'm not docking points here), is that the bathroom is not within the cafe, and you have to get a key card from the staff in order to use the restroom (can be difficult if there is a long line to order).

    This is an ok coffee shop... 5-Stars for atmosphere & 3-Stars for drinks. That gives it 4-Stars…read moreover all. There is lots of seating inside and out with spaces for working/studying more inside and relaxing outside. Its also a great place if you want to take some nice IG photos. The staff is friendly and make drinks quickly. But the coffee drinks themselves are just ok. We both had Cortados this time and they were a little tasteless and too hot. Drinkable but not worth coming back for. Last time I came in alone and had a Flat White that was terrible and I dumped it out. I did not have time to ask for another but I'm sure they would have remade it. Wall Writers is located in an office complex but in a good way. There is plenty of free parking and in the afternoon and on Saturdays you can park right at the entrance. The restroom is located in a separate building across the courtyard and watching people search for it can be mildly entertaining LOL It is a nice place to work with plenty of natural light and a wonderful patio for enjoying nice weather. I just wish the drinks were a little better. But because of the convenient location I will probably try it again. Maybe Ill try something iced?

I sat at one of the tables, opened the box my cookies were presented in, and found myself in cookie ecstasy. The cookies are fat mountains of deliciousness. Slightly crisp outside and soft inside (note: even softer if taken home and warmed up). The chocolate chip was crammed full of chips and the walnuts were in tiny bits to keep the cookie's texture soft. The chocolate cookie was also enormous and had an abundance of peanut butter chips. Both were superb. The horchata latte had just enough ice to keep it cold. It had a bold flavor of cinnamon which I loved. Staff here were friendly, efficient, and speedy.
