Breezy deconstructed space with echos of an old tea shop. Tech savy but not intuitive.
Ahma H.

Upscale. Hidden in plain sight. Jasmine hard on the palette with a punctuated space with linear framework and glistening faux tea tins. Minimalist tech chic design. Lovely. Vibrating a synergy of Tokyo vibes with tech club beats. Heavy walk in traffic yet flows as a concept. I'll be back with my plus one.

Heytea has become one of my favorite boba spots in Chinatown. It is never not crowded here but the wait isn't too shabby. It's always packed every time we're here. The lines move fairly quick so it's not too bad. I like their mango drinks, the coconut mango boom and the cloud mango. Decent size for the price and quality is consistent. This place isn't ideal to study or work. There are no tables, mostly seats. It's also pretty loud and crowded most of the time.

pistachio cloud jasmine coconut

BREAKING NEWS - Heytea now has the famous pistachio cloud jasmine coconut! I had to compare if it was just as good as the one from Molly Tea, and omg... I think it might be better. The pistachio cloud is much more nuttier, you can taste more of that coconut, while still retaining a strong jasmine flavor. Molly Tea is definitely more fragrant when it comes to the jasmine tea, but the other flavors (pistachio & coconut) are lackluster now that I've tried Heytea's version. The Coconut Mango Boom is also very good. I can see why is a fan favorite. The coconut jelly is a nice touch. I need to come back to try the grape one because I saw at least 10 cups of it being prepared in a row.

Hey, tea, you are too expensive for my wallet! Almost $10 for a milk tea. Yikes! It's good, but not that worth it in my opinion. I rather walk across the parking lot and buy a whole Chinese bbq rice box for lunch. On top of that, the last time I went during the afternoon, they ran out of boba. The layout and interior decor of this place is interesting. It's minimalistic and simple. There are no menus to read on the wall and the restroom door blends into the wall. The line to order is slow. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. You can't read the menu until you get to the counter. Then you are in the "ummmm" and question mode. The payment screen asks for a tip. Why? It's getting out of hand. I'm waiting for grocery stores to start asking for tips for bagging your items.

In a sea of drink and boba spots in Chinatown, this place actually stands out. The quality is consistent, the menu has a ton of options without feeling gimmicky, and everything tastes like it was made with care. The space is modern, clean, and functional..the kind of spot you can hang out in without feeling cramped. Prices are about what you'd expect in this area, but the drinks make it worth it. Do yourself a favor and try the Mango Boom. One sip and your taste buds are going to wake up real quick.

Grapefruit

I was in Houston visiting a friend and came across HeyTea and knew I had to make a stop. We do not have a location in Austin, TX but I am a huge fan of tea. They are known for quality ingredients, and giving ancient eastern tea a fresh, modern spirit. Through every cup, they aspire to bring a sense of inspiration and zen to everyone. The store had a very modern and minimalistic vibe. Decorated with silver tea canisters. You can place your order on the app or at the counter. They offer a curated selection of drinks that seem very well thought out. I downloaded the app and they had several reward offers and coupons and I ended up using 15% off my order. The service was very friendly explaining the variations in the drinks and was very patient with me as I was trying to download the app. The place was very crowded even though it had just opened. I had trouble making up my mind and so I ordered two drinks. The Pistachio Cloud King Jasmine, crafted through nine rounds of jasmine scenting, using 5,500 fresh jasmine blossoms for every 500g of tea, with no artificial flavor. Blended with real dairy milk only, no artificial creamer, and finished with a handcrafted in-house Pistachio Cloud on top. It was like heaven on earth with both nutty and floral notes. The foam on top was smooth and indulgent without feeling heavy. I got the Grapefruit Boom for the road, with freshly cut grapefruit slices and juicy grapefruit pulp are infused in Jasmine Tea. This drink was also very flavorful and refreshing with the citrus notes and fresh grapefruit pieces. HeyTea definitely lives up to the hype for creative drinks. I want to open one in Austin, TX because I would definitely be a regular if it was closer!!

Guava green grape
Michelle O.

Even though the line was slow (~20 min, 2/3 of store from cashier), wait after ordering was long (~20 min), and it was hot inside, the experience went okay since my drink was delicious and pretty and I got the "football" (soccer) magnet after buying (2) drinks. The cashier made sure to clarify how the offer works since she saw my sis and I. A pair of drinks can get (1) magnet but only (1) offer per person. If we each wanted a magnet, we'd have to make separate purchases. The light pink and green colors of the guava green grape were refreshing to see. It tasted like a frozen fruit bar, which was great for a hot day. The kale boost tea was another popular item. I did think it tasted lighter in kale juice though.

I. Love. Heytea. It's up to hype and worth every penny. The "Booms" are fresh, delicious, and the perfect sweetness. My go-to is the Mango Grapefruit Boom, the bits of grapefruit could be weird for some people but I love the texture and added sourness of the pulp. My friends love the normal Mango Coconut Boom as well as the Coconut Mango Blue. While I don't usually like grape flavored things, their Crispy Grape Boom tastes fresh and the pieces of grape are truly crispy and crunchy, it's my favorite part. Their matcha drinks are also delicious, creamy with a strong matcha flavor. Service is pretty fast for how busy it gets. You can use the app to track your estimated wait time and also see how many cups are ahead of yours. The inside of the store always smells like jasmine and I love it, it could be too much for some people though. Their concept is minimalistic and seating is limited. While there are a lot of parking spots around it, parking could also be hard depending on how busy the rest of the plaza is.

My friend & I got the Coconut Mango Blue & the Kale Boost Tea. I was hesitant about the kale drink but it surprised me in a good way so I'd recommend both. The interior does have limited seating so we were standing in one of the corners waiting for our drinks. They were busy at the time we went but our drinks still came out fairly quickly.

Holy moly the wait here is so long. The first time I went I waited in line for 20 mins only to be told at the front to wait 30 more minutes for my drink. I had to come back to see what the hype was about! I ordered on the app for the coconut mango boom. It was pretty delicious, I loved the mango and coconut and the spirulina added a nice taste to it. I probably should have asked for it 50% sweet. Definitely recommend ordering from the app next time!

Triple Supreme Matcha Latte, Coconut Mango Boom
Duyen T.

I practically a regular here now. Though it does get packed quickly and hard to find a seat to sit down to enjoy your drink, I definitely recommend just going once for their drink. It's as good as the hype says it is. I definitely recommend getting the app and ordering ahead of time plus they have coupons available in the app! The staff try their best to quickly prepare the drinks and bag every purchase in a nice bag. I would say the downside is that it does get pack, loud, and overstimulating during peak hours. Overall, they have been a favorite to-go place for drinks and they often times have promotions going on!

Drink pickup

I had a great experience at heytea. My drink was great! And the ambiance was interesting as well I got the coconut mango boom. It was a great drink. You can tell they use fresh fruit - it's hard to describe just how big of an impact that has on the quality of the drink, but it was darn good. My mango tasted very fresh & juicy. The coconut was delicious too. I was very surprised with the quality & taste of my tea. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is just due to how packed the place was! It was crazy, so many people. And I think as a result it was a little dirty/untidy. There was no soap in the bathroom... It took a bit to get my order, but for the quantity of people it was actually not too long. I'd recommend giving this place a try, but maybe place an online order ahead of time

Matcha Crisp Grape Boom
Cayli P.

Another top boba spot that is a must try. My favorite is their boom drinks, specifically Crisp Grape Boom. Super refreshing. It can get busy oftentimes so I suggest putting an order online beforehand.

Not sure why so popular and with a long wait time. They want you to use app to order or they treat you an idiot.

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 2/5 Overall: 4.2 My group got the fresh fruit shaved ice with strawberry ice cream and coconut pudding. The shaved ice itself was really nice and fluffy, with the condensed milk topping being VERY sweet yet not overpowering. The fruit toppings we got, for the most part, were good. The pineapple and cantaloupe were both okay, though I think they both could've been fresher, but the strawberry and mango were both really good and complemented the shaved ice. I also really enjoyed the strawberry ice cream on top. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it added another dimension to the dish. The coconut pudding, though, was quite disappointing, not tasting like much and overall just feeling like a random and unnecessary addition to the otherwise really good dessert. The ambiance here was the main issue. It is a little bit barebones and not very decorated, but that didn't bother me. What did though was the piercing high pitched noise of the electronics, which made it really hard for me to focus, and the flashing lights, which just made me feel really disoriented. Still, this place is a hidden gem in the Dun Huang Plaza compared to everything else around it, and is definitely worth a try!

So I haven't tried their drinks yet, but I had to leave a review for their pandan coconut waffles…read more I'm obsessed with anything pandan, so when I found out they had them, I had to stop by. This is my third time now, and they've been amazing every time. The waffle is like a perfect mix between a pancake and a waffle. Crispy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. It's made fresh and served warm, and the flavor is spot on. It's slightly sweet with that rich coconut and pandan taste that just works. They also have other flavors like durian and taro if you're into trying something different. I'll definitely be back to try the drinks, but honestly, these waffles alone are worth the trip.

It is a bit hidden, but they are now located in the same shopping center as Banh Mi Thim Hing if you are trying to find them. The included store photos are from their new location** I don't go to Mama Mia for their drinks, but after all these years, Mama Mia is still my favorite in Houston for Vietnamese Coconut Waffles. This updated review is strictly for their waffles. Their waffles are always so thick, fluffy, nicely chewy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Whatever flavor you choose, you won't be disappointed. My absolute favorite is the original Pandan Coconut flavor, but the Taro flavor and the Durian flavor are just as delicious. You can also get the Multi waffle which has all 3 flavors in one. They are super flavorful, not too sweet, and perfectly textured. You won't be disappointed with their waffles.

Dandelion Cafe Review | Good Food, Cozy Atmosphere, and a Disappointing Matcha…read more I had an overall enjoyable experience at Dandelion Cafe! The cafe had a cozy atmosphere that made it a nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal, and the service was attentive, which added to the positive experience. For my meal, I ordered the chicken and waffles, a Matcha Made in Heaven, and a side of fruit. The chicken was definitely one of the highlights of my meal. It was nice and crunchy, which I really enjoyed. I appreciated the texture and found the chicken enjoyable overall. The spicy butter was a little too spicy for my personal preference, but it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the meal. While I would have preferred something a bit milder, I still enjoyed the chicken and waffles. The side of fruit was also a nice addition to my order. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment of my visit was the Matcha Made in Heaven. I really did not enjoy the taste and honestly couldn't even finish drinking it. I was hoping for a drink I could enjoy alongside my food, but it just wasn't for me. Of course, taste is subjective, but based on my experience, the matcha was a letdown. Despite the disappointing drink, I appreciated the attentive service and cozy atmosphere. Those details made the visit pleasant overall, and I still enjoyed my meal despite the spicy butter being a little too hot for my liking. Overall, I'd say Dandelion Cafe was a positive experience, with a few things that could have been better. I enjoyed the crunchy chicken and waffles, and the atmosphere and service were definite positives. However, the Matcha Made in Heaven wasn't something I'd order again based on my experience. I'd be open to returning to try other items on the menu, but I'd probably skip the matcha next time! If you're considering visiting Dandelion Cafe, I'd say the experience had its highlights, but your choice of drink may make a difference in how much you enjoy your visit.
