I was really surprised to find out that a Hey Tea opened up in Chinatown so I decided to check it out. This location was huge or at least a lot bigger than I would've expected. This was the perfect timing being that they had just launched a new drink as well. I really like guava drinks because they're usually super refreshing and this did not disappoint. The cream on top was not my favorite but that's just because it had a salty flavor to it and I have never been a huge fan of cheese foams or anything of that sort. However, the guava base did not miss! This drink was super light and refreshing and the service was very quick which I enjoyed being that there was actually a huge amount of people in the store. read more

Hey Tea - King Jasmine Guava - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

Great drinks but terrible system. They have a screen to show you if your drink is still being made or if it is ready for pick up. Unfortunately it glitches so you end up waiting around forever for it. I came there on a Friday night, it was super busy - the whole store was full. I ordered my drink and waited around, came up to ask and they told me it wasn't ready yet. Then I waited some more and even though it didn't show that it was done on the screen I went back up again because it was so long and then guy tells me it's been done and I need to pay attention. I told him that the screen still says processing and he said they called the number out loud as well. Well it was very packed and loud so I definitely didn't hear it, neither did my friend. The drinks are really good but the system and service is not so it's hard to say whether I would come back. This seems to be an issues in several of their locations. read more

This is a small location and very happy that is close to my job by a few minute walking distance. I was upset that they ran out of the Wicked drink, which is one of my favorites. So I opted for their new drink, the Cloud Longjing Tea Latte. Did a mobile order and got the drink immediately since the store was almost closing and there was no one inside! The drink tasted really good like you're in heaven! It really tasted like cloud as it says in the name. It is buckwheat with matcha cloud and Viennese cream on the top. The Viennese cream did not melt into the drink after an hour of having it. I'm surprised because usually whipped cream melts immediately after you get it. I didn't know if it was due to the cold weather or what but I was happy that it took forever to melt the whipped cream. The cool thing about Hey Tea is that their cups are customized with stickers you can choose on their app. My Longjing latte had the sticker with a flower coming out of one of the cups from two cups of tea. It also had a quote, "love in every sip of everyday". The sticker is a cool aesthetic but I don't think it does anything because in the end I have to throw the cup away. Another thing I like about Hey Tea is their cup design. The Cloud Longjing Tea Latte came in a nice plastic cup that is sheer black and you can see somewhat of the contents inside the cup. It is a very nice cup. read more

MANGO DRINKS: Okay holy crap. The mango drinks here are insanely good. They blend up perfectly ripe mangoes in your drink and they taste perfect with the blend of milk and other adds in your drink. It's refreshing and his the right spot. 100% certified baller status. read more

Standard Heytea location in Chinatown. You can also order your drinks ahead of time on the app since there's usually a long wait time for the drinks to be made. The drinks taste good, same as other Heytea locations. It definitely is crowded inside but they have a decent amount of seating. read more

Hey Tea - Brown sugar boba milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

A Heytea located in Chinatown. AC hits right at the doorway, but is weaker in the middle of the shop and seating area. One ordering kiosk and no one manning the counter register. All three employees working on drinks. And no real announcement when my drink was done - it just sat there and I figured I had the only grape juice so went up and asked them (the TV said I was still in progress, 10min to go..) guess they need a new system? At least they weren't out of anything. The fruit tea - nicely you can order it without the Jasmine tea. So basically turns into a fruit slushie (the crisp grape bloom). That was tasty. read more

This location is not as busy as the other location on Grand Street. Very quick to order and receive drink. There was only one other person ahead of me. Drink was made quickly and didn't have to wait around much. Ordered the special Wicked drink and love the colors and the dragonfruit taste and the fusion with the matcha. I believe the drink is for this weekend, am not sure if it will be sticking around on their menu. I dined in at one of tables with my drink. No one bothers you. By the time I was done, the whole place was pretty packed. Cant wait until they do other specials because they always come up with unqiue ideas. read more

There are sooo many tea shops in Manhattan's Chinatown... I wanted to try them ALL! BUT, of course, our first stop had to be HeyTea because they're so consistently good! We ordered our usual, the mango grapefruit boom, with less ice & less sugar. I noticed that they have bigger cup sizes here available to order, compared to the Boston locations. So, with ended up getting the XL size for a little more $. The drinks were delicious as always. Love that every other sip you get a chunk of fresh mango! It meshes well with the coconut milk, sago, & mango jasmine tea! + the tartness from the grapefruit, SO YUMMY. Highly recommend swinging by to try their mango drinkie! Their matcha is also out of this world! read more

My go-to matcha spot for get that matcha fix, great quality drinks and has the matcha flavor unlike many other places. The matcha jelly in the triple supreme matcha latte is my new favorite (can't go wrong with the coconut milk jelly either) The service is like any other mobile order type place, but during promotions like BOGO, they app is always out of service. The stores themselves give a very open concept and clean feel, the all white design looks nice read more

Decided to try Heytea on their matcha promotion day of buy one get one. Terrible idea. It was a disaster for me and success in some ways for them. I came at 2:30. They told me 2 hours wait. I had things to do so I ordered and came back. 2 hours later, I'm still waiting. My number popped up later than numbers assigned after me. Now they're telling ppl who want to order that it'll take one hour. Despite my dissatisfaction with the wait time, I finally got my cloud coconut blue matcha and the cloud matcha latte at 5pm. The cap of the cup is pretty nifty, it slides to the side to open and close. It's a way to preserve your drink from spilling, as well as tasting the layers of the cheese foam and your beverage. The drinks were overall good. I enjoyed the coconut pudding on the coconut blue matcha. I hope the overworked staff were paid extra beyond tips, due to the volume of orders and handling of disgruntled customers. I also found it humourous that their website advertised a zen environment but it was anything but for this day. read more

Rating: 6/10 Date Last Visited: 8/23/2025 I ordered the Yumberry Boom ($8.50). I normally really like drinks from Heytea, but the one I ordered from this location did not hit the same. It didn't feel too much like a slushie, and the yumberry flavor wasn't very strong. For $8.50, I am expecting a lot more from the drink. This location is a lot smaller than other Heyteas, so maybe the quality control is a bit lacking. Overall, I would recommend Heytea in general, but it felt like this location wasn't very good. read more

Overall: A // 5 stars My new favorite HeyTea location. It combines the convenience being located right in Chinatown with the added benefit that there isn't a massive line of people, since there's so much competition nearby. I tried their new Matcha Coconut Bobo which is the definition of a performative male drink, which balances the aesthetic with a novel flavor palette. The expansion of their menu beyond milk-based drinks has been great, and now their menu is full of good drinks beyond the OG Mango Coconut Boom.

4.5 / 5.0 - I love boba tea and finally tried Heytea for the first time yesterday. It was amazingly delicious. When I first saw the size of the drink, it looked large, but it was all gone before I knew it. When you enter, they have a digital kiosk where you can order or you can go to the counter. For seating, they have a small space which was full when I arrived, but I was able to grab a chair while waiting for my drink. I ordered a Supreme Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea ($7.99+) with less ice and less sugar, which was the perfect level of sweetness for me. It was so creamy and delicious. The boba was stuck together so it was a little hard to drink, but besides that, it was the perfect drink. Highly recommend for boba tea lovers. read more

Not bad, quality delicate ingredients, a bit expensive, overhyped with lines. Was in the neighborhood and early enough in the day to have caffeine (before 3pm) & finally tried HeyTea to see why it's so popular. Have passed by a few locations in Flushing & Herald Square. Someone in my Queens Foodie FB group who teaches in Flushing and is constantly gifted bakery items and bubble tea; swears this is the best place for bubble tea. I got the 2025 summer special Matcha blue coconut drink (about $8). Was there around 12 PM on a weekday and there were only 1 or 2 people in line. About 6-8 people in the shop waiting for their drinks. The workers are constantly but calmly busy! Kiosk ordering only. It was about a 10 minute wait for my drink. The drink is coconut water, with layers of butterfly pea leaves coloring (not much flavor), matcha cloud foam, and coconut jelly rectangles. The one size is like a St-rbucks grande. It was very coconut forward & the matcha cold foam was very nice. The lids are a little bit awkward, you slide the pie slice shape over to open the lid. There was also a sticker telling you to sip out a 45° angle and enjoy the layered drink. I didn't realize this and started stirring it with a straw. I also didn't realize that it would have jelly in it, it was a nice surprise for a 85°F day. Overall, a nice once in a while treat, but not something I would constantly go back for - cost-wise. It seems like they have a lot of repeat customers, in addition to new customers. The person behind me told me that this was his 3rd visit. HeyTea changes their specialty drink menu a lot and I think this is what keeps people coming back. I wouldn't mind trying a regular bubble tea for comparison or the oolong flavor. The person in my Food group highly recommends the Crisp Grape Boom (it might still have a tea base). The stores and graphic design is sleek and minimal and matches the quality of the ingredients. However, the long lines and crowds of people waiting affect the experience. There's usually a few low couches and stools with counters, but the doors are always open and on a hot summer day it feels more like a to-go only business. The Experience is waiting in a room with a lot of other people for their bubble tea... The only criticism and suggestion is to have more details of the ingredients for each drink on the menu or on signage. I had no idea that my drink had coconut jellies in it. And this may affect people who have sensitivities or textural issues (maybe they just want a plain tea or slush). This Chinatown location doesn't have much detail in their kiosk either. The Flushing location did have more detail in the kiosk, but that makes the decision making & ordering process even longer. Is this is why there's always a line? read more

I like HeyTea! It's a treat because it's a bit expensive, but the flavors are unique and it always hits the spot ni matter the weather due to the abundance of both cold and hot options. This time, I opted for the Jasmine Cloud tea ($6.57) with Jasmine tea and cheese cloud foam. The foam was a sweet surprise, I had never had anything like that before. It tasted a bit like sweetened whipped cream. I really liked it but it there was a lot of it in ratio to the actual tea. The flavor contrast was interesting given that the tea itself is a much softer taste and a bit bitter (in the traditional tea way). Overall, I'm still happy I got it! Unfortunately the place itself was riddled with straw wrappers and napkins, which was a shame, I probably would've been more keen to stay if it was picked up a bit, but the staff member was very kind, attentive, and efficient. read more

Wish we had a HeyTea in GA, I would be there all the time. I LOVE the Mango Coconut Boom and Mango Grapefruit boom. Fresh mango chunks and creamy coconut. I love the texture of Sago too. Such a great drink/dessert. read more

If you're looking for a next-level boba experience, Heytea never disappoints--especially with their Coconut Mango Bloom, which is honestly out of this world. It's rich, creamy, tropical, and perfectly balanced with that juicy mango flavor. Easily one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. That said, the wait was surprisingly long considering there weren't many people ahead of me. It's something I've noticed with other Heytea locations too--preparation tends to take a bit more time. But the quality of the drinks and the calming, modern atmosphere really help smooth that over. The space is bright, minimal, and aesthetically pleasing--very on-brand for Heytea. Whether you're grabbing a drink to go or hanging out for a while, it's a nice spot to chill. Just know to factor in a bit of a wait, but trust me, that Coconut Mango Bloom is worth every second. read more

Hey Tea - Coconut mango bloom - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

I've walked by this HeyTea many times but never actually went inside, because we always go to Molly or Chicha. They were running a promo for BOGO blue coconut mango drinks and I was in the area so I decided to give it a try. Since they were doing the BOGO, they had disabled mobile orders. I can see why, because there was a huge crowd at the store waiting for exactly that. When I ordered, they told me it would take about 30 minutes. It actually ended up being around 18-20 minutes, which was great. Staff were friendly and drinks were great. read more

If a new chain of tea shops is going to show up in New York City, you bet one will open either in or near Chinatown, so it was no surprise when I came across a Heytea in Chinatown not too far form Canal Street. This is perhaps the tiniest location I've been to. It does have seating and a small waiting area but I can see it getting crowded very quickly. Like the location in the Village it has a kiosk for ordering or you can use the app. There is some seating but it's not a lot. I think I saw about three different groups there when I went and the place was mostly full. Like the other stores in the chain the decor largely uses white as a background canvas for light wood colors. I really love Heytea but I did have to take off one star because the service here was noticeably slower than other locations I have visited. It didn't take *forever* but I did find myself wondering for a moment if they received my order before they handed it to me. I, of course, had my favorite Grapefruit Boom and it was super tasty as always. I also tried it with the Zero Sugar this time and it worked out very nicely. read more

Update: Changing my review from a 4 star to a 5 because I'm honestly obsessed with this place. My first ever drink from Heytea was the grape boom. Honestly, it was not my favorite. But I tried the coconut mango bloom next, and that got me addicted!! I've tried the coconut cloud matcha, triple matcha, and wicked matcha collaboration ever since, and they were all worth the wait! read more

I've tried a ton of their drinks and I always go for their matcha jasmine latte or the coconut mango boom. I usually order less sugar and it's perfect sweetness for me. For some reason, I'm not a fan of their fruit tea drinks, I feel like it's too slushy. I've been to their other locations (7th Ave, NYU, Brooklyn 86th st) and this Grand St location is the largest and has plenty of seating and it's brightly lit. There used to be a crazy wait, but now that they hype has gone down, the wait is not bad at all. I ordered on Hungry Panda app and waited ~10min on a Monday after work. read more

Drinks are unique and they definetely specialize in smoothie/fruit type drinks. I would definetely reccomend trying their Mango grapefruit boom. The Cloud coconut blue was good but the matcha isn't the best quality, still decent. The yumberry boom was very unique and yummy as well. If your looking for a place where the tea itself is strong though, this is not the place. Service is on the kiosk and wait times vary. There's seating inside and the store is typically decently busy. read more

Consistently delicious bubble tea and fruit tea here. My favorites are the jasmine milk tea with boba and coconut mango boom, which has fresh mango and creamy coconut. My coworkers come here at least once a month (probably more tbh), and the drinks have never disappointed.

In the passage of my professional travels with a gruesome morning, I came to Heytea in hopes of attaining my favorite grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 which is not offered on their menu for topping. The menu is digital of a computerized kiosk which is very limited for the choice of drinks. There is no fruit tea category as that is my default choice of tea. What happen to the standard Jasmine green lemon tea, strawberry fruit tea, peach green tea, or apple green tea? Devoid. If a business tea business does not have both of these food options then I refuse to patronize. I refuse to adapt or change my tea predilections as it is my personality and personal taste. One employee was standing behind the cashier counter idle waiting for me to place my order, but did not offer what teas their business stood unique than other bubble tea competitors. Again, I abruptly exited dispirited. Despondent. read more

Hey Tea - Mango Cloud - Bubble Tea Near Me - New York, New York

This review is directed to the owners and management of HEYTEA. Please stop being greedy and cutting corners on staffing. Your business is clearly booming, yet you consistently have only one or two employees trying to handle a huge volume of orders. It's unfair to your customers and even more unfair to your workers. I've now had to wait around 20 minutes for a single drink on three separate occasions at your Chinatown location. The employees are clearly overwhelmed and doing their best, but they simply don't have enough support. This kind of delay shouldn't be normal for a drink order. It honestly feels like the company is exploiting its staff to maximize profit instead of investing in proper service. Hire more people so your employees aren't overworked and your customers aren't left waiting. To the leadership, including Neo Nie Yunchen: stop abusing your own people. Respect your workers and your customers by staffing your stores properly. read more
