Was customer #41 on their grand opening day for the BOGO and free magnet! Although there were a lot of people, the workers were very efficient and maintained a positive attitude. I was afraid the quality of my drinks would be compromised due to the large volume of orders but I thoroughly enjoyed my drinks! Highly recommend the matcha cloud longjing milk tea, super fragrant and delicious. Small shop with 4 stools and a counter to sit on. This place is more of a grab-and-go, not somewhere where you sit down and study.

I've always loved Heytea! Their drinks have always been solid for me - however, I think with their recent reopening they still have a few kinks to work out. I arrived a little before opening (11am) on a Thursday (for their free tote bag giveaway for their reopening) but they didn't open their doors and start taking orders until 11:15 or so. It seemed like they also had ran out of a certain type of mochi topping, and the staff member was asking customers for alternative choices. I thought it was odd they had run out of a topping shortly after opening in the morning. On top of all this, the drink took at least 10-15 minutes to be ready despite being one of the first few customers and the poor staff member at the front seemed really stretched thin and a bit frazzled. I know they're still working things out and hope things will smooth out soon. I'd recommend downloading the Heytea app and making an account with them - the app offers several coupons to use and you can also use it to order ahead! The shop itself is small and it's more of a grab and go spot. This time around I tried the Kale boost tea (kale + chia seeds + green tea) - it's light and refreshing! I'm also a big fan of their triple supreme matcha and their grape boom drinks. Parking: street parking, or public parking lots. Some options include Brighton Public parking (first 2 hours free prior to 6pm), I also park at the parking lot next to Erewhon (also first 2 hours free prior to 6pm).

I lovee love love Heytea but we had to stop by the newest BH location (since we were already in the area anyways heheh) I love how Heytea is always super consistent -- the drinks always taste delicious. My go to order is usually the coconut mango bloom - I'm a huge fan of the sago balls, the coconut jello and the mango bits inside the drink. I would say this is more of a dessert, not a drink. I literally got full from sipping on the drink xD Since there was a BOGO deal I also ordered the king Jasmine milk tea. The Jasmine here tasted simalar to Molly Tea Jasmine milk tea -- super floral. I actually loved it so much I would for sure order that next time if I want something light from Heytea. Parking here can be a bit challenging as it's literally in the heart of Beverly Hills. I would come back if I'm ever back in this area :)

Triple Supreme Matcha Latte and Grapefruit Boom (Original).
Richie D.

I tried Heytea on their grand reopening of their Beverly Hills store on Friday Feb. 6th. They are offering BOGO all weekend long, and free limited magnets and tote bags. Plus other promos throughout the week, check my photos for them. I tried their Triple Supreme Matcha Latte and Grapefruit Boom (Original). I'm normally not into very complex tea drinks as a purist but I enjoyed their triple supreme matcha latte with Matcha Cloud+Matcha+Matcha Mochi+Matcha Jelly+Real Milk, but asked for No Added Sugar. You can also adjust the ice. I also tried their Grapefruit Boom which was delicious without added sugar! Very refreshing with grapefruit pulp. Simple decoration and ambiance inside. No room for seating but only for take out. Service was friendly and quick on their first day but I was the 6th in line and waited for about 7 min. to get my drinks.

Mango Coconut Boom FTW!!!
Amira R.

Not sure what's driving the low rating here but I'm glad I didn't Yelp this place first, or else I wouldn't have tried one of the best boba drinks I e ever had -- as a global connoisseur of milk tea & boba/tapioca: the Mango Coconut Boom (+ Boba). Craving another 24 hours later...

Place looks and smells much nicer after the renovation. Expect a wait always at Heytea since it's such a popular brand. But drinks come out timely with the volume of customers and drinks come out beautifully crafted

They finally reopened their Beverly Hills location after some months of renovation. The interior is a minimalists dream! Because of the grand opening on their first three days they were doing bogo on all drink! I had their green grape boom, and because it was a warm LA day, it hit the spot! It was super refreshing and it was vibe before I knew it. The staff was very nice, despite the heavy crowds they got by! Hey tea has a myriad of options and the next time I go, I'll be ordering their cloud crisp grape.

Love a good bogo deal at hey tea. Parked in one of the parking garages near by. Super excited this location opened

Grape boom
Darlene A.

Came here during their first week of opening last year, there was quite a line (as expected!), but it moved quickly. The shop is in a prime spot right on Rodeo Drive. I tried the California Sunset ($7.99) 30% sugar , super refreshing and perfect for the hot LA weather! Loved that they added real slices of fresh fruit, it made the drink taste extra light and natural. Grape Boom ($7.49) was also really good, I did 50% sugar, but it was still a bit on the sweet side, so I'll go lower next time. Still, the juicy grape pieces inside were delicious & drink overall was good. I've had Heytea while traveling in Asia, so I was really excited to see it finally open here in the U.S! It's a bit pricier, but honestly fair for the location and quality. Looking forward to coming back to try their seasonal drinks, love that they keep things creative and fresh.

Coconut Mango Blue
Delaney S.

So glad this place opened up in Beverly Hills, which was severely lacking in a boba place! This place is on Rodeo Drive, a popular shopping district that can be kinda busy & difficult to drive around. The drinks I've tried so far are amazing. My favorite is the Coconut Mango Boom -- I usually get a large size with the "minimal" sugar option which is just perfect for me (the "no" sugar option is tad bit too bland) although I think most people opt for a higher sugar level (so start with "less sugar (default)" or "light sugar" if it's your first time). Anyway, the coconut mango boom is their most popular option and is probably what you should order if it's your first time visiting. There is also the "coconut mango blue" which is essentially the same thing but with a fancy blue color lol (and there's no option to get a larger size for this). I've also tried the Yingde Cheese Milk (light ice, minimal sugar, and brown sugar boba) -- also very good -- they pulled off having a strong tea flavor without diluting the milk or creaminess (it wasn't sweet so I could go higher on the sugar level here depending on my mood). Boba balls were fresh and well-made. I also tried the king jasmine guava -- I got it with minimal sugar but would go up on the sugar level next time (or would get brown sugar boba). Was pretty good; it's a flavored milk tea, not a fruit tea. Not as good as the coconut mango boom of course, but still worth trying once -- I'd order it again! They provide the calorie counts for their drinks on the menu which is nice. Just so know: At peak hours (especially weekend nights), this place has a very LONG line. Expect to wait half an hour sometimes. Sometimes, they may run out of a drink or a topping so be wary of that as well. There is an order ahead (you can download the HeyTea app and order from there) which is convenient. However, there is (as of March 2026) no delivery option (no Uber Eats, no DoorDash, etc.). The place is small and there are a couple of chairs and only a thin table along the wall so it's not a "cafe" where you can sit down and spend time with friends or do work/reading at (there are some other cafes nearby though that generally open until 5pm). This is a boba place I would go out of my way for. They haven't given bonuses or anything for customers who write reviews so my 5/5 here is real.

Yesterday and the day before, every time I went there I had to wait so long that I got really frustrated. So today, before going to work, I placed an online order early and went to pick it up. Fortunately, the app said my order was ready after only 4 minutes, so even though it was raining, I drove there as quickly as I could. However, when I arrived, the cashier didn't even know about my order, and it wasn't prepared at all. I had parked my car temporarily on the street, so I was in a hurry and late for work.. When I asked what was wrong, no one gave me a proper answer. There were at least three people in the kitchen, and it was a very slow time, so I really couldn't understand how my order was missed. When I kept asking what the problem was, someone responded in a few words that sounded like a mix of Chinese or English, and they spoke so quietly that I couldn't understand anything. Even though the app said my order was completed, I had to wait without any reasonable explanation or something like that before I finally received it. I was just about to start work, so I was in a rush, and I had come to pick it up during a slow time on purpose, which made the situation even more frustrating. Even though the place has reopened, it still doesn't seem to be properly organized. The staff training, in particular, was extremely poor. During the slowest time of the day, there were at least three people in the kitchen and one cashier. I really don't understand how so many employees could still miss an order. I've been going there almost every day since it reopened, but online ordering is often blocked as well....so frustrating... I've really tried to understand but today I honestly couldn't. And one more thing,this store used to be an open kitchen to be so clear for everything but now they remodeled to hide what happens inside the kitchen...so suspicious... Lastly one more thing, I'm not sure, but some of the employees looked like international students to me.

Coconut mango boom $6.99

I wanna start off by saying it must have been an off day. I could see/hear an industrial blower in the kitchen & there was a not pleasant smell in the shop. I had a feeling that something was not working properly in the store. The cashier told multiple people they were out of different things. It took 25 MINS for me to get my one drink & this was at 6pm. I see online that Heytea can get busy with lines outside the door to order but this was not the case. There was maybe 5 people ahead of me. This is my first time here so I'm not sure if this is typical but I was frustrated with the WAIT. I felt bad for the workers because they definitely looked a little stressed but there also seemed to be some miscommunication among the staff I got the COCONUT MANGO BOMB & it was very refreshing. The fruit tasted fresh & it was great summer dessert drink. I will definitely come back because I wanna try the TRIPLE MATCHA drink. This location is convenient because of the proximately to Rodeo Drive & all the shopping. I happen to be in the area so I stopped in but perhaps next time I'll try a different location

Matcha tea with mochi jelly and foam
Minji K.

After trying Hey Tea in NYC, I've been on the lookout anytime I go to a new location! Luckily there was one in Beverly Hills that we could go to on our trip to LA. The wait time was pretty long (25-30mins) and there isn't any seating so you can wait while shopping around the area or standing outside. It would be helpful if they had an option where they texted you when your order was out, since you just had to watch the screen to see when your number would be called. I tried the triple matcha drink with matcha mochi in it. I loved the flavor of the matcha, which wasn't too sweet and the mochi was less chewy than I thought, and more like a jello texture. I don't know if I'd get the mochi jelly next time but I did like the tea and foam on top. The grapefruit tea was also really good, with some pulp in it. The flavor profile seemed on the sweeter side for most of the teas but you can always adjust the sweetness as well.

25 min wait during a weekday for a mid drink is a not worth it . Why have a store open with only 3 people working.

It is pricey (maybe the priciest out there) but every element of the experience is top tier and you get what you pay for. The sandwiches, scones, and pastries are actually high quality and delicious. I love the variety of the sandwiches with some twists and premium ingredients like caviar. The scones are my favorite and not dry at all, it's served with clotted cream, lemon curd, and a berry jam - absolutely delicious. There's a lot of tea choices to choose from that will cater to a variety of tastes. The ambiance is what sets this afternoon tea apart from the rest. There's a live harpist! The Living Room decor feels very posh, the plates and cups have pretty designs, and the set is served on a silver 3-tier stand. The service is also fantastic! They kept coming back to refill our tea. It was a great experience and great excuse to dress up when you're feeling fancy!

The breeze knows this and thus its best to control itself because it knows its place in relation to this girl. If you make the decision, I recommend going on a day where you can absorb the classy and elegant (that slightly borders on stiff traditionally) vibe because no one deserves to have a troubled mind when enjoying luxurious tea. It is like a big sports guy, going to the Super Bowl, when back home they have a leaky faucet that is near full rupture but he cannot do anything until Monday. How is he suppose to enjoy viewing a fumble or bouncing cheerleaders or a roaring crowd with costumed fans, if there is a drip drip of worry in his mind that he cannot wrench into closing. I guess, this space is like a zen garden, where one goes to be present, not just to checkmark a daily meal. I say all that because I was silent for long moments, and I apologized to Ronnie for not engaging in conversation. And she said, "I understand, you are taking it all in." So this place is also a gallery of fancy, where one experiences tea in the cushions of Beverly Hills rarefied air. When I was there, I saw a large group of girls attending a baby shower. To me, it was a like small movie scene. All of them were gathered in a group, like lilies in a special patch, looking all pretty in nice dresses, long flowing hair, and were all smiles and refined in movement, taste and persona. I wondered why they were talking about? Ronnie anchored me back to reality and said, they are probably just catching up, just like us. She makes a good point--- a baby shower in a fancy tea room, is no different than a baby shower held in a back yard. Every one is there to give well-wishes and gifts, eat good food, and chat. There are obvious ways in which these two experiences are different but at their core they were the same: a group of people gathering to celebrate a coming child. One place just does it with white linens ironed to precious quality, while the other is limited to folded tables set up carefully so they don't break. I share this so that the reader knows that this place is so fancy, that I felt like I did not just have tea, I more felt like I was in a place that redefined fancy for me, and that in itself, is worth more than the 150.00 dollars I paid to sip rose tea. But still I would not do it again, because to sip rose tea and be pampered like a princess cost me 150.00 dollars. To translate this into a Yelp message: Go as a once in a life time experience to understand how the 1 percent enjoys their tea, and hopefully that adds to all that shapes your perspective of the world. I want to truly stress, that this slow moving experience, in a wondrous way, redefined what fancy is because I never saw fancy be effortless lazy yet still be extravagant and gorgeous. I was a guy there. There was another guy there, enjoying tea alone. But everyone else read female. So this place is women centered because who is taught to have tea parties at a young age? I mean there is no tea party with cups that show the Hulk and Iron man. So this is. a girlie fantasy. Look at my pictures, even though there are few one can see pink ribbons, floral patterns, precious and dainty flowers, and fashion carried by hats. I went because I am comfortable stepping outside gender roles but not everyone is. So, I guess, I am saying that afternoon tea, all adorn with teas, is mostly for girls, shocking I know. The food was superb. I remember the chicken salad sandwich fondly. I remember the strawberries and cream. I remember being handed a warm towel to wipe my hands clean. I remember lounging, but again, this is more of an experience. Like I can have high tea again, but not like this because it is too precious to revisit on rewind. I rather have this be a bubble that strolls down Rodeo and Sunset than it be popped by another visit. I remember all of it as a kind of dream, which makes it more precious. There was also a harp player. But I am not going to say I was in heaven, that reach is too easy. Plus, I did not feel like I was in heaven, even though I sat in a cloud. I noticed to much, and thought to much about my surroundings. I was not at peace. I was in rest. The difference being is that peace comes with out thought, and rest can come with an analysis. Think I am wrong? Then imagine a genius doing Sodukus for fun---- he is not in peace because he is being challenged, but he is in rest because she can find quiet pleasure in finishing the mental challenge in record time. I realize that I took a long way to say the following: the place is gorgeous, the food is sensational, the graces both big and small, mix into a pleasurable experience that makes one say, that was certainly fancy to the sky!
