Coconut Mango Boom
Annie K.

Stopped by heytea on a Sunday afternoon, and it was so busy! They even paused mobile ordering because they were so backed up with orders. Stood in line and waited to order instead. Ordered and paid at the counter and got a coconut mango boom, then waited outside because the shop was just too crowded. They have a screen showing which order numbers are ready, so you know when to pick up the drink. Mango drink was pretty good, had fresh mango purée and mango chunks, so it tasted like a fruit smoothie.​​​​​​​

Jasmin tea

Big fan of HeyTea and their wide selection of toppings. The drinks are consistently good and there are lots of options to customize. Customer service at this location was mediocre, during our visit we encountered an employee who kept talking to someone else while taking our order, so I had to repeat myself a few times which was a bit frustrating. The shop itself is really small, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot rather than somewhere to sit and hang out. Overall still a good place if you're looking for a quick drink.

Loved the combo of pistachio salt foam with coconut juice and jasmine tea. They used premium jasmine tea. Service was quick. There's only standing room. Make sure to validate your Bravern parking for 6 hours.

The line up and wait can get long if you go during peak hours. I went mid afternoon on a Friday and was able to order right away. My coconut mango boom drink was filling and well made. I wish they offered a milk alternative option so those of us who are lactose intolerant have more options.

- delicious, but service could be improved - I was in the area and had a 10% birthday coupon, so I placed an order through the app. It was ready within 10 minutes, which was great. However, the drink wasn't packed, and the employee asked whether I needed a bag in a very casual--almost rude--tone. I said, "No, I'm good," and took the drinks, but I felt uncomfortable. It was a noticeable contrast compared to the great service at other boba places like Chi Cha San Chen or MACU, where drinks are already properly packed for you. I ordered the Coconut Mango Blue, and I got the Supreme Brown Sugar Boba Tea for my husband since the original version was no longer available. My drink was actually delicious--I finished it within 5-10 minutes. My husband, however, said the milk tea wasn't as good as the original. I took a sip and mainly remember that the drink itself wasn't very good, though the boba was surprisingly soft and chewy. I'm not sure how those two qualities can coexist, but they somehow did, lol. After the 10% discount, the total came to $14.85. This place is definitely not cheap by Bellevue standards. I'd probably order from somewhere else next time for better service and overall drink quality.

Is it just me, or is HeyTea kind of... average? I tried the Mango Coconut Boom and it was pretty underwhelming. The mango didn't taste ripe and honestly felt like it might've been frozen, which really dulled the flavor. For the price, I expected much better quality. The space is also very cramped with long wait times, no real place to sit, and prices that don't match the experience. Overall it felt more hype than substance. Hui Lau Shan does mango drinks and desserts way better. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Good tea but expect a long line and wait. The store is small but has some special drinks. The triple matcha was really good, and I liked the cream foam and pistachio flavors too. Solid overall, but a little FOMO vibe for me.

brown sugar cheese foam

I love love heytea the quality and flavors of their drinks are so good. You can tell in general there is a lot of thought and effort that goes into it, from the packaging of the cup to the actual ingredients that go in it. It is always busy in store so I would recommend ordering store pick-up for a quick trip. I wouldn't expect much service because it's always busy but if you go during the week during hours where everyone's working it'll probably be fine . The bellevue location doesn't have any seats available in-store but there is a letao right across or places to sit outside around.

Cloud Green Grape

Heytea is super trendy in New York and I was excited to try it here in Bellevue. Located in The Bravern, you can park in their lot and Heytea will validate your ticket for six hours. The shop is small and is mainly a counter to order and receive your drink. Also the guy taking our order seemed like he hated his job, but he wasn't rude, just very unenthusiastic. On their menu, drinks with "cloud" have cheese foam, and drinks with "boom" are slushy. I got the cloud green grape drink and added boba. Wow! this drink was so good. It had cheese foam and it was a slush. There were pieces of green grape as well. The grape flavor was very pronounced and natural, it didn't taste artificial at all. The boba was chewy and sweet which I enjoyed. My friends got the supreme brown sugar bobo milk tea. This is where my review only get 4 stars instead of 5. The drink had a very light tea flavor and a strange after taste. It was hard to describe but I would stay away from their milk teas. Overall their fruit tea is where they shine and I am excited for my next trip to Seattle to try the other drinks.

It's a bit overhyped but the drinks are not bad. I actually would come Back again for the kale juice. It's smooth and refreshing and I like the chia seeds! The cup it comes in I wish it would be a glass vessel. It's plastic but still super cute. Overpriced for $9 though.

Got boba here because Erica and I trying to see the best boba shop on western part of Washington state. Pleasantly surprised at how good this place was! Chewy yet soft boba with milk tea that was the perfect amount of sweetness. Small portion size considering the price point, but I like that they give you a fancy bag to hold multiple boba orders...at no extra charge! Took a bit to make the boba...maybe like 15 minutes. Parked at the mall structure site for no cost because we came past typical business hours when they charge hourly. Staff was very serious, which was a bit off putting with the bright white lights, tight floor plan, and many people in line that had to wait even outside because it reminded me of being in a hospital or clinic. Staff did their job to ensure that we got everything that we needed to take our boba milk tea orders to-go with napkins, proper-sized straw, bag, etc. Taste was peak, but uh...idk about service and ambiance.

Pistachio tea

I ordered on the app and waited inside. There is no seating and no bathroom. There was not a lot of space to wait either. It was very busy and crowded and took about 20 minutes to get my drink. Definitely only take out location, drinking inside is not ideal.

Cloud Crisp Grape
Generous Y.

Surprised I haven't left a review here. I'm definitely a converted HEYTEA fan. I'm typically the guy who calls things good but overhyped however I will be hyping HEYTEA up. As they expand across the states, they've stayed very consistent and I know exactly what I'm getting anywhere. Compared to some of the "modern" tea shops and brands with insane lines, I think wait time here is more justified. Pro tip is to order on the app, they have fairly accurate, real-time monitoring for time estimates and number of drinks ahead. While I originally knew them for fruit teas and cheese foam, I've grown to love their matcha as well. Particularly the triple supreme matcha with matcha mochi. High quality all around. I currently frequent the SLU location because it's more accessible and convenient but will give props here for being the first location in Washington.

My husband and I came on a Saturday afternoon, after finishing working out together in the morning…read morewhere it wasn't really busy. I got a 32 oz "Slim N Fit" with mango flavor and my husband got a 32 oz "Lean Out" with chocolate flavor. My Slim N Fit tasted good while my husband said his had a little too much peanut butter. Overall customer service was good, little wait time... we had to park at the plaza nearby and didn't have to pay parking. A good spot for an after workout smoothie. Would come back again.

My friend and I walked over to Emerald City Smoothie in Downtown Bellevue after doing barre class…read morenearby. This was my first time at Emerald City Smoothie in ten years and my first time at the Downtown Bellevue location. The interior is fairly small with only a few tables to sit/stand at and so it's mostly a takeout place rather than a place to meet with friends. Emerald City Smoothie has a wide menu and categorize their menu into five categories based on health goals: "Boost My Immune System", "Help Me Lose Weight", "Go Green", "Bulk Me Up" and "Nourish My Body". They also have a menu just for "Boosters" which cost extra and include everything from antioxidants to bees pollen to creatine and fat burner. Lastly, they have a Secret Menu which includes Banana Creme Pie, Matcha Green Tea, Maui Paradise, Mountain Berry Blast, Orange Creamsicle, Piña Colada, and Peanut Butter Cup. I'm pretty sure their secret menu is just drinks that don't fit into the other categories (or ran out of room for), because they had these same drinks on their menu ten years ago. I ordered the MATCHA GREEN TEA (16-oz) off the secret menu. This smoothie has soy milk, matcha, non-fat milk, and whey. For $7.44 (including tax), this was pretty pricey for a "healthified" matcha Frappucinno. They obviously don't use high quality matcha as the matcha color was on the yellow side and the taste was quite diluted and bland. It mostly just tasted like sugary blended milk with little to no matcha flavor; I was honestly disappointed, but drank it anyway. My friend got her favorite NUTTY BANANA (sub vegan protein) which has banana, peanut butter, protein, and nonfat milk, which is probably what I should've gotten instead. She also ordered a PB&J and MANGO MANIA for her family members which are also supposed to be decent. Lesson learned, stick with the fruit smoothies. Service was good- the baristas are friendly and efficient and we got our drinks within 10 minutes after ordering. Overall: 2/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

The ambiance here is great for catching up with friends, studying, or stopping by after a long day…read more The drinks were okay, on the sweeter side than my preference, though I usually enjoy a more bitter matcha. The service was friendly, quick, and very understanding when I asked for a bit more oat milk in my matcha.

I've been here twice, once a few years ago with my cousins, and another three days ago. The people working were attentive and quick with their service. The ambiance of the place is cute, a lot of pink and green, very instagram-worthy, and I saw a few people with friends or working on their laptop so it seems like a great place vibe-wise. To expand on my matcha critique, I found the color to be a little on the green-yellow side, which isn't the end all- be all quality indicator for matcha, but I find matcha lattes that are more rich in color tend to taste better and this tasted like a matcha drink I could make with costco matcha. I've made some decent lattes with costco matcha but once I switched to the more higher quality ones, well, it sorta refined my tastes. There isn't a lot of parking, and to be fair, a lot of people who are in downtown Bellevue are parked elsewhere else and likely just meander their way to the cafe. However, if you're coming in by car, I'd suggest parking by the apartments nearby, DO NOT park at the Chase Bank lot, even if the bank itself is closed (learned my lesson...). Overall, a 3.7-3.9. Could be better. Maybe with other additives like cold foam or strawberries, the drink is better, but I'm judging based off the basic latte.

It's bubble tea and waffles. You can't really expect a Michelin star meal here…read more That said, when there is a line it goes pretty quick when it's mostly regulars, and only gets bottlenecked by people who have never bubbled their tea or bubbled their waffles before and don't know how to order. Or who haven't used a touchpad POS I guess - which is surprising but it happens. ...hell I work in tech and only this month used my phone to pay for a thing at a POS but I digress. Never was a priority. I've ordered there consistently. I usually get the same thing. I'm more of a no boba milk tea person. Service is consistent. Prices are decent. I guess the low reviews are people who are expecting Din Tai Fung levels from a small place in the mall? Then again I don't boba I only milk tea so what do I know. People are super picky about their balls and how they want their balls to taste. I say set your expectations on your balls and stop being a ball buster. Good grief people have gotten so artisinal about their boba balls it's like they expect each one to be flow in individually by a drone or hand selected and blessed by the Pope. Or do like I do and go for the milk tea and not worry about it. Can't go wrong with milk tea. Or maybe the low reviews are people who are over complicating their orders and expect Frank Lloyd Wright and Gordon Ramsey both to be back there assembling their bevy for $7. For what it is, and for the price, I have no complaints.

The menu is quite small with three cold sandwiches and three hot ones, each inspired by a different region of the globe with the South Pacific, South America and Mediterranean as a few examples. There were two salads listed as well. I've been here twice and both times, when I went to place my order on the iPad, the menu stated they were out of stock for the sandwich that I wanted. However, when I asked the employee, she said that was not correct. So if you see the same message when ordering, it's worth asking about it! During my first visit, I ordered the RENDANG ($14). This hot sandwich came packed with SO much meat! Very tender chunks of marinated beef tasted of coconut, curry and warm spices. The flavor had true depth and I could actually taste hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Thin spears of pickled cucumber and carrot added crunch and a perfect zing of acidity. They were refreshing and cut through the rich beef. A drizzle of Sambal Terasi (chili) aioli gave it another layer of flavor. Cilantro, mint and Thai basil were all fresh and vibrant. The bread was lightly toasted, being a little crinkly in texture without being harsh against my gums. If I could change something, I would include a couple extra slices of the cucumber to balance out the ratio of vegetables to meat, and add a bit more of the aioli. Other than that, this is a great sandwich influenced by flavors of the South Pacific. My companion got the STEAK sandwich ($15) and enjoyed it. The steak slices were thinly cut and tender as well. They do their beef right! On another occasion, I tried the PROSCIUTTO ($14), one of their cold sandwiches. The delicate layers of prosciutto were placed on top of sliced tomatoes, pickled onion and arugula, all between pressed focaccia bread. Truffle mustard was spread on both pieces of bread, which was WAY too much in my opinion. With this mustard having a stronger flavor, it overpowered the sandwich and made it too tangy, especially in combination with the pickled onions. The menu stated this should include pistachios, but I didn't notice any, and they were all out of provolone, so there was also an absence of cheese. For the prices, these sandwiches are pretty generous in size, so I consider them a good deal, especially for the Bellevue area. The ingredients are fresh and make for a fantastic lunch option. While I wasn't a huge fan of the Prosciutto sandwich, I'd definitely go back again for another Rendang!
