    half drank and mixed up mango coconut boom
    Bob J.

    The service was very speedy and we got our drinks in no time. the shop is very tiny and was a bit packed with performative males but that is a-okay. i got the mango coconut boom which kinda just tastes like mango sticky rice and made my stomach hurt. should've ordered something else.

    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.

    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!

    Inside waiting on the line

    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!

    I had the triple supreme matcha and it was okay. The service was nice but it get cramp inside because it so small. They dont take numbers so you have to wait inside for your drink

    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!

    Mango boom
    Susan L.

    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.

    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.

    Collab drink with wicked
    Lena L.

    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!

    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.

    Supreme matcha latte & cloud crisp grape
    Lydia C.

    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.

    Triple Supreme Matcha Latte, Mango Grapefruit Boom, Passion Fruit Blast
    Jamie L.

    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.

We walked into a space that mixes communal tables, stadium-style seating, and smaller spots to sit, making it a place where you can stop in for a quick drink or stay longer with a laptop. The interior design is one of the biggest highlights, giving the cafe a more elevated experience compared to a typical coffee shop. The tiered seating in particular creates a visual dynamic that makes the room feel more intentional than your standard coffee counter. The drinks are the main focus here, especially the matcha, hojicha, and espresso-based options. We ordered the hojicha latte, which was one of the strongest items on the menu, with a deep roasted flavor and a smooth texture. The matcha has a more traditional earthy profile and leans less sweet, which works well if you prefer a more authentic matcha taste. The drinks are on the expensive side, but the quality of the ingredients and preparation make it feel more like a specialty cafe experience rather than a standard coffee stop. The food and dessert options add another reason to visit, with items like the egg sandwich, quiche, macarons, and hojicha desserts available depending on the day. The menu is smaller compared to a full brunch cafe, but it pairs well with the drinks and gives the visit more of a cafe-and-pastry feel. Service is friendly and the staff are knowledgeable about the drinks, which helps when choosing between the different Japanese tea options. The cafe can get busy, and seating is limited compared to the number of people who come through, but the layout gives it a unique character. Ogawa Coffee works well for specialty coffee and tea lovers looking for a more intentional cafe experience in Boston, especially if you enjoy Japanese-style drinks and a thoughtfully designed space.

Honest thoughts: The cakes were indeed beautifully crafted, but $13 was overpriced. The cake quality didn't meet the steep price. The cafe was self-service and some furnitures were quite worn out. From their ig, I saw the price tag was ~$9 last year. It was aggressive to raise $4 within a year.....It would be more reasonable to charge at or under $10. *Autumn Leaf $13 * This seasonal special was my favorite. Spiced sponge and pecan crunch were wrapped inside the subtly sweet maple mousse, with a hint of banana flavor coming through midway.

We walked into a minimalist and calm space with enough personality to make it comfortable for a longer stay, the kind of room where the lighting and the seating encourage you to settle in rather than rush out. The dalgona coffee is one of the standout orders and delivered the creamy, slightly bitter contrast that makes the format work when it is done well. We had it with oat milk, which smoothed out the richness without losing the depth of the coffee underneath. The matcha was another high point, aromatic and grassy in a way that reflects quality sourcing, and notably not overly sweet. The hojicha with hojicha foam was on rotation during our visit, layered and smooth in a way that made it an easy recommendation for anyone who leans toward roasted, nutty flavors. Prices across the menu are genuinely affordable for the quality. The loose leaf teas can be rebrewed multiple times, which added real value to the experience as we settled in for a while. Service was warm and unhurried, with staff who clearly know the drink menu well and are happy to talk through the options without any pressure. For a handcrafted drink in a space that feels like it was built for people who actually care about what they are drinking, The Sipping Room earns a spot on the short list.
