Consistently good drinks!! Not too sweet and interesting flavors. I got the mango grapefruit boom and guava grape drinks. Both had real fruit incorporated (yay!) and had delicious flavor profiles. I loved the texture of the sago in the mango drink, and the guava drink had a nice touch with the slushie. Will be back for more! read more

Heytea's coconut mango boom made for the perfect summer drink! The portion was pretty generous (we got one to share) and it was very refreshing and not too sweet (the ultimate Asian compliment for a dessert haha). I really enjoyed the variety of textures in this drink as the sago made it fun and bouncy. The mango tasted fresh and sweet Last time we had to wait like 40 minutes but this time it was only 10! read more

Drinks came out quick and easy Ordering process was simple Coconut mango boom always goes crazy. Overall same heytea like previous locations I've been to. read more

Love their Mango coconut drink! Im hooked! Small space. Dont like going in there when it's cramped.

Tooo crowded! Supper small inside! Over heard people ordered on the app and was waiting for a long time for their drink. I ordered at the counter I believe the drink took almost 45 min. The drink I got was honestly not worth the wait. Sorry read more

Always seem to have issues at this location. Drinks always say ready to pickup, but usually isn't ready haha. The Allston location seems to have the ops down a bit better. we wait for while the rest of the order sits out and watering down. Less fresh haha. Waiting and waiting. We ordered ahead at 4:20p- estimated 30 min, no problem... usually takes a little longer on newbury. 5:30pm (3/5) drinks been sitting on counter for 30min plus and 2 drinks still missing? (While marked ready) Think they ran out of something but didn't tell me i just overheard. Then awhile later I guess the drinks were on the counter but the front staff all missed it so had to wait for them to reprint label and do new ones (overheard them talking) Least it was fresh and i didn't get handed a mixed older timed one sitting out. We are hey tea fans, and do order weekly, multiple times even a week. So we'll be back but probably avoid newbury unless it's convenient. Staff is nice overall, just annoyed haha seemed so disorganized. Other staff looking for other orders that came well after to "hurry it up." Lol i get it flirt and do your thing, just don't forget my drinks please! read more

Heytea is always my #1 milk tea spot in Newbury. We were able to order online and stroll around so we wouldn't have to wait in the long line. The drink is always good especially my favorite matcha. I like how we can choose designs on the sticker now which adds a cute touch. Really glad they opened many heytea spots around Massachusetts after having plenty when I went to China a few years ago. read more

Heytea - Matcha and guava - Tea Rooms Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I'm always looking for the yummiest desserts and this was not the exception, their mango,grapefruit coconut drink was AMAZING!! Truly delish, unfortunately I didn't give them a higher rating because ordering was a bit of a hassle. First off, it's mega crowded (good sign of something being very good perhaps?) but the line to order and the line to pickup is not very clear, so you find yourself in a puddle of people not sure where to go. The place is tiny and they have a few seats, very very few, they have giant screens on the top which you would think would have the menu, so as you wait, you can start deciding what to have, as a first time comer, but they don't. The menu is strictly on a tiny screen at the front of the line, right before you order. There's also a QR code where you can order ahead, this is great!... except that code is also at the counter and you can't get to it unless you are next in line which kinda defeats the purpose if you as me lol. I love efficiency and this wasn't it for me. The place itself looked clean and cute. The staff was uneventful, kinda no emotion lol. I think if you google the website and order ahead, youll have a better experience. Would I go back? Yes, absolutely, their product is a winner, getting to it not so much but now I know for next time, and you do too! read more

I'd like to start by saying that I'm a big fan of HEYTEA overall; however, this was by far the most disappointing experience I've had at any of their locations. If you're looking to get HEYTEA in Boston, I would recommend the Allston location instead. This location appears to be consistently overwhelmed by online orders, regardless of the time of day. While I don't fault the staff personally, there was a noticeable lack of organization. I placed an in-store order for three drinks on a Friday around 3:00 PM. Although there was no physical line, we were informed there would be a 30-minute wait due to online orders, which was understandable. After waiting 30 minutes, we received only two of the three drinks. We waited an additional 15 minutes before asking about the missing drink, at which point we were told they had run out of mochi. While running out of ingredients happens, there was no proactive communication or clear solution offered. We were told they would make an alternative, but after another 15 minutes--during which we watched other orders being completed--we still had not received our drink. When we followed up again, we were told the drink would be substituted with sago or another topping. However, this still did not happen until we asked yet again. Ultimately, the drink we received was not what we ordered. Instead of the winter special mochi milk tea, we were given a plain hot milk tea that was significantly different from what was advertised and ordered. Overall, the experience felt disorganized and poorly managed, especially given the long wait and lack of communication. read more

The matcha latte was way way way too strong - so much so that it made me sick. Many better option in Back Bay.

As a certified coconut mango boom lover, I was beyond devastated that this location had *run out* of this drink on a weekday afternoon! My friend and I ended up getting the frozen grape and frozen grapefruit drinks, but neither was as good as the coconut mango boom. We ordered on the app and it took quite a while for our drinks to be ready, so we ended up killing time at Prudential. I think it's great that there's a location on a place as popular as Newbury but the actual storefront was quite disorganized when we were finally able to get our drinks - there's very limited seating overall and due to the sheer size of how small the store is, I would highly recommend ordering online and taking it to go because there's just no space/time to look through the menu in-person without getting shoved this way and that. Shout out to the workers who deal with this kind of chaos on a daily basis! read more

After my first sip I understand the hype and have become a loyal fan. Unfortunately, I was on vacation and home does not have a location for me to frequent. Nevertheless, the mango boom and crisp grape boom are delicious. I went back shortly after getting my first drink because it was so good and wanted to try another drink. The staff are friendly and and quick as can be. They're a small shop that's extremely busy, and rightfully so. Everything is super fresh and tastes of quality. read more

Heytea announced BOGO matcha drink that's a limited edition collab with upcoming wicked movie. I arrived just before 12 and surprised to find that the store is open and staff is in full gear already. There's less than 5 ppl in line but the staff taking the order is really slow and had trouble getting the correct change when the person in front of me paid in cash. I waited more than 20min for my drinks when there's at least 10 ready made drinks on the counter and when asked, they simply replied that those are for online orders. I feel like they shouldn't be prioritizing online orders... The drink itself is matcha and jasmine tea based with a pomelo/dragonfruit cloud. I got it at 70% sugar and thought it was enough sweetness and a good mix of tea and citrus flavor. Would recommend! read more

Listen... we are HEYTEA lovers & usually order at least once a week, sometimes multiples times a week. We order for pickup from the Allston location often and occasionally order from Newbury St location. We pretty much try to avoid ordering from here unless we are already shopping on Newbury St because for whatever reason, we always have issues with ordering. A few days ago, we made a 5 drink order for pickup through the app from here since we were down the street & the estimated time was ~30 minutes. No problem! We arrived and parked a block away and proceeded to wait 30 minutes in the car. I go back to the app to see if there was any updates on if the drinks were ready & unfortunately, the app still said 24 minutes... after waiting 30 minutes already. Eventually, our drinks were ready 1hr30min later! Staff checked our order off as ready, even though 2 out of the 5 drinks were missing. I guess the issue was that the drinks were misplaced & there was lack of communication w/ the staff & no communication at all from the staff to us about what was going on, so we had to wait even longer for the drinks to be remade as they had been sitting out melting for an hour essentially. I've noticed that in person orders are definitely prioritized over online app orders, it makes sense I get it, but having our wait time triple when there were no customers around was a little ridiculous honestly. We've also ordered from here the week before when there was no queue at all... still ended up taking 30 min for two drinks to be ready. In comparison to Allston location and other HeyTeas, they are not efficient at all & are especially slow with preparing drinks. There needs to be a better system here because this is not acceptable. read more

Wanted to try this place because of Lisa's hype. Apparently she likes the blue cloud matcha so that's what I got. It's good for beginner matcha drinker but it's definitely not for me. The coconut impart is refreshing though. We also got a decaf blue fruit tea with mango. It was tasty at the first couple sips but my kids didn't really like it and we ended up wasting most of the drink. What bother me about this place is the service. I paid for the drinks. Receipt was printed. They made my drinks but didn't call our numbers. I waited for a while and then asked them. The cashier told me I need to show my credit card proof that the drinks I paid for went through. So I had to log into my credit card app to show her before I can grab my drinks. This is such a terrible service even when my receipt said PAID WITH CREDIT DEBIT CARD. Thanks goodness there's no heytea where I live but even when they come, I wouldn't return bc they're just your average boba place. read more

I walked in with the order number and name, but they refused to give the drinks. I explained the person who placed order is driver, it is not safe for driver to send the screenshot. What supersized to me is that they claim there is no order number and name on the cup. Such a lie! Very disappointing experience. read more

It's a tiny store with extremely limited seating (seated capacity max 6) so don't expect to linger for too long. However, the interior is very brightly lit and feels modern. I ordered the supreme matcha latte, which was priced at $7.99 (pre-tax). I also requested less ice and 50% sugar, which were the right calls. I picked it over the triple matcha latte purely because it has the "recommended" status next to it on the menu, and I'm glad to say that even in retrospect I think it was a good choice. The menu states that it has matcha cloud - I had no clue what it was, but I was extremely impressed to discover that I really liked it (and coming from someone who doesn't like cheese foam!). The matcha itself was also not at all watered down, which can be common with iced matcha lattes. Overall, I thought it was a great drink and highly recommend. It lost a star purely because of their menu (or lack thereof). There's always a line here, so good customers should be deciding what they want to order before they get to the front - except there is no visible menu in the store, except flat on the counter right in front of the cashier. There are screens above the cashier's head that would make prime menu-viewing spots, but they spotlight exactly 3 drinks and don't even switch to the menu on a preset timer. I also couldn't find the menu online and was basing my "best guess" on the Boston Allston location's (third party) menu, which turned out to be priced incorrectly. Finally, even when I did reach the front and check the menu, my drink didn't state that it included jelly - but my drink did come with jelly! I'm not a fan, so if I had known that jelly was an ingredient, I would've requested to leave it out. read more

Heytea - Supreme matcha latte & cloud crisp grape - Tea Rooms Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Wait time was about 20 minutes, and then another 20 for our drinks to be ready on a Sunday afternoon! Super tiny store and the line took up basically half of the inside, with the line going outside into the hallway. Very little seating, I think about 6 people were able to be seated a time (you can sit on the window sill as well, but I'm not sure if that's considered seating). The barista was really helpful, they spoke Mandarin & Cantonese and let my family know what to order for our first time at a HeyTea, and according to our preferences. However be aware that they do not offer alternative milk options here, all of their drinks are made with whole milk! My little brother enjoyed his Mango Grapefruit Boom, he enjoyed the bits of sago and the milky texture of the drink. The matcha latte I got was not bad either, it was the right amount of sweetness and thickness without it feeling like a typical coffee latte! I enjoyed how rich it was. My mom enjoyed her passion fruit blast, it was a very refreshing drink in the July humidity. read more

This location is just as small as the Allston one. I missed it and had to back track. Same quality as the Allston location. I decided to try the tiramisu milk tea, aside from the usual drinks I get, and it's not really my cup of tea. Reminds me of the milk tea I got from Tbaar that tasted like chocolate rice krispies. Aside from that, service was courteous and friendly, and my usual drinks like kale tea and coconut mango boom were all really good. read more

I came for the BOGO deal for the new mochi longjing latte. I waited about 15 minutes to order and then another 40 minutes for my drinks. Heytea has notoriously small store fronts making it really crowded when people are waiting for their drinks. I wasn't a fan of the longjing tea itself, but paired with the cream cheese foam made it taste better. The mochi was a little difficult to sip through the straw. Overall, I wouldn't wait this long again, but if there wasn't a long time waiting I'd come back for their mango drinks or jasmine latte. read more

I tried their new yuzu oolong tea with boba, and it was so refreshing and delicious. With customizing the sweetness level and amount of ice, the drink turned out great. I visited on a day they were doing a promotion, so the staff were slammed and it was a 30 minute wait, but they were very communicative and remained efficient and professional in the midst of the chaos. read more

Even with grand opening today -- it was very well organized. Drink qualities the same as their other stores! Excited for an option in the city and on Newbury st. They're giving away free boston keychains (limited) and running a BOGO during opening weekend (6/13-6/15) But I'm already a big fan of their drinks so this deal is a bonus for me. My go-to are the Coconut Mango Boom and the Mango Grapefruit Boom. There's a couple of seats inside to people watch as you wait for your orders. It's a pretty small storefront but very efficient. read more

Unfortunately I don't get the hype with HeyTea. For a location on Newbury St where you can easily walk a block and get boba from a different place, I didn't find anything special with the tea here. Other issues I had- the store itself is way too small for the large crowd that it attracts. There's often a line to order and a line to pick up which becomes very confusing inside the cramped store. I didn't notice the servers calling out orders when they ready, so it depends on you keeping track of your order timing. Each time I've stopped by, there is always a 30-45 minute wait on drinks. read more

Heytea is always a hit but be ready to wait 30-45 min. I got the Mango Cloud with giant chunks of mango, mango slush, and cheese foam. I went with light ice but I think regular ice would have been better so it was more slushy. The store is constantly packed with people waiting for drinks so there's usually no place to sit. read more

Very very busy! I went on a rainy Sunday afternoon, and the small little store was packed to the brim. The wait times were running 20 minutes behind, so we placed our order and went to the store nearby to shop. Came back with our receipt to get our order, and it was ready. The black tea latte and supreme matcha latte were delicious! Despite it being a little pricier than other bubble tea places, the quality of the tea and matcha were great and the drinks did not disappoint. read more

What an AWFUL experience. I love heytea and I've been here numerous times but something has to be done about the service here. I came here with 2 friends and we were told that our order would take 26 minutes. Pretty odd when we got basic drinks but it was fine. We sat for about an hour as we watched multiple people coming in after us and getting their order sooner. There were also a ton of online orders being prioritized above us. As we continued to wait I overheard the cashier telling people about the wait getting longer and longer. At one point the wait was 45 minutes for someone!! Eventually, our order was ready but we were missing one drink and had to wait another TEN MINUTES for a black milk tea (which is an insanely basic drink, I know). I just don't understand why they would continue to take all these online orders and keep increasing the wait time for their customers inside. Clearly this location struggles with managing how many orders they can handle. And this happens consistently. Outside of that my drink was fine but it was annoying to have to wait for a basic drink like a black milk tea for an hour. Next time, I will order online and see how that experience is. Maybe that'll change my mind but for now, if you ever go here please order online. I noticed on the app there's a way to "poke" your order to get it done quicker and I assume many were doing that. The area is too small and it gets overcrowded very quickly. Not to mention you may end up in my situation where you have to wait longer because of all the online orders. read more

I got the coconut mango boom as people have told me they are mostly known for their drinks that are non-tea based. A lot of my friends said to get the coconut mango boom which I did but got it with less sugar and less ice. Maybe it was hyped up too much by my friends or needed to get it with no modifications but I thought it was average. Also there's a sign that says to download their app and order online outside to avoid the line. I downloaded it and it said the online ordering for this location was down. A few people in line also did it so that sucked for all of us. read more

There's a lot of hype brands that come around that seem nice in the beginning but end up fizzing out after a year. I think HeyTea is the exception to that pattern. I've had HeyTea in china before, and I fell in love with the natural, healthy, tea based drinks that they served. There was transparency in additives like sugar and syrups, which are customizable. So when they popped up here in Boston, I was stoked and lined up to the try it. My favorite is the mango grapefruit sago. There's real mango and grapefruit chunks topped off with refreshing jelly and sago. It's not too sweet since I ordered minimal sugar. The service is a well oiled machine. I highly recommend the pick up option in the app to enter and edit quickly rather than waiting around for 20-30 mins. It's a small establishment, so don't plan on sitting down or getting work done in the space. Great spot! Highly recommend read more

Quite possibly the worst most inefficient boba shop in boston. Every time I go, I order ahead on the app because if I order in person, it would take twice as long inside that tiny warm shop.

Heytea is so YUMMY. Everything tastes super fresh and delicious. We went during the grand opening for the BOGO deal and tried a few drinks -- all of them were great. I got the Mango Grapefruit Boom (not in the pic), and that one's definitely the best in my opinion. They move pretty fast even with a crowd, and the workers were quick but still respectful and organized. There's not much seating inside, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot, but honestly worth it for how good the drinks are.
