I loved HeyTea in Rowland Heights, so was excited they had another location. Finished half my drink & found a long piece of hair in it... Hopefully, they'll be more careful. read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Parking: Easy, open, and free lot. Shares a plaza with 99 Ranch. TOP LINE: It's good--but only come if it's convenient. I came here on a Saturday around 2 PM. It wasn't too busy, and I waited about 10 minutes for my order. I got four drinks (~$30): two Mango Coconut Booms, one Pomelo Mango Boom, and one Grape Boom. They were delicious, but not exactly refreshing. I think the cream top was a bit too heavy. I ordered the Pomelo Mango with 75% sugar, and it was still a little too sweet for me. I liked the large pomelo chunks, but they also felt like space-fillers--so beware! The Grape Boom had a muscat-like flavor but was purple, with sliced grapes at the bottom. Overall, the drinks were good, but nothing super special or unique. Final verdict: I'd come back, but only if it's nearby. I wouldn't drive more than 3 miles for it. read more

I ordered 1 drink at 3:47pm on a Monday (granted it was the holiday week) and didn't get that drink until 4:42pm- almost 1 hour. When I ordered, there was no advisory of how long it would take, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed. The drink was also just okay- but not worth that. read more

Its a small place but the service is fast. I love their drinks as well! My fav is the mango boom! read more

I've always enjoyed Heytea and really like their drinks, but unfortunately my experience at this location has been uncomfortable. One of the employees behaves inappropriately toward customers in a way that feels unprofessional and unsettling. Because of this, I've started avoiding this location, which is disappointing since I otherwise love the brand. I truly hope management addresses this to ensure all customers feel comfortable and safe here. read more

I'm a new fan of Heytea, specifically because of their Coconut Mango Boom - this drink altered my brain chemistry!!! It's soo refreshing, I had it twice in 1 week and I would drink this on a hot day or a cold night because it's just that good. Perfect sweetness (at half sweet) and the mango bits with sago add not only a delicious flavor but a fun texture. I've been to multiple locations in norcal but this one is the most local to me. It gets pretty busy just like other locations, and this store is really small with no seating, so it's more a grab-and-go spot. It's a bit pricey but honestly worth just for their fresh mango drinks! read more

This HeyTea store took over the yifang that used to be in this plaza. I got the jasmine milk tea with milk foam and thought it was pretty good. They also had an option to make it sugar free and also listed the calories for every drink they have. If you are someone who is health conscious or just count calories it's a good way to track it. The service was fast. You first place your order on a kiosk and then your number is called. The drinks were out super fast considering they had dozens of online orders to work on simultaneously. I think I would come back if I were in the area but Irvine overall has some other hard to beat contenders. read more

They have teenagers running this store who don't know when to stop taking orders and assist the 25 patrons who have already ordered waiting in the store to get their drinks. 30+ minutes for one drink is ridiculous. I would have asked for a refund but there literally wasn't space and I'd have to wait another 30 min. read more

overall score: C order: supreme matcha latte i was unsure of what to get but i figured the matcha would be a good option. we opted for the supreme matcha latte and it did not taste good at all. it just tasted like milk. the foam was not that sweet at all as well. the boba was good but the matcha pudding was not. i would come back to try other drinks however. service: we ordered online as the line was very long; i recommend ordering online because you also get a coupon if you are a new user ambiance: way too packed inside. it was hard just to get my drinks. read more

Heytea - Guava purple grape - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I came here about two weeks ago with my sister-in-law. She had tried this place before and wanted me to try the boba with her. She ordered the Cloud Mango, and I got the Coconut Mango Blue. To be honest, neither of our drinks were my favorite. I tried her Cloud Mango, and the mango flavor tasted a bit off. My Coconut Mango Blue was decent, but they added way too much of the blue. I actually like the blue flavor, but it was overpowering and took away from the coconut and mango. I wish the drink had more balance stronger coconut and mango with just a hint of the blue . My husband ordered the Brown Sugar, and it was extremely sweet, even for a brown sugar drink. As for the shop itself, it was very fast-paced and more of a grab and go spot since there's no seating. The floor was also a bit dirty that day, but it was raining, so that might've been why. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't impressive either. I'd give it a 3/5 there are definitely better boba places I've tried. read more

Hands down one of the best fruit teas I've had in Irvine! I stopped by Heytea and ordered the Mango Grapefruit Boom--and wow, it absolutely lives up to the name. The mango was rich and velvety, perfectly balanced by the bright, juicy bursts of grapefruit. It was refreshing, not too sweet, and incredibly satisfying. The shop itself is modern, clean, and has a chill vibe--great for a quick pick-me-up or hanging out with friends. Service was quick and friendly too. If you're a fan of real fruit tea or just want something delicious and high quality, Heytea is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

I think this Boba brand offers great varieties plus refreshing drinks, does not disappoint with the quality of drinks as far as that goes. However, I am not sure if it was because they couldn't handle so many customers all at once or that employees need more training. I ordered two drinks through their app and when it was ready for pick up, I went to the front and asked for my drinks and the girl at the front handed me with two drinks without any bags. We all only have two hands so if I am to take those two drinks, how am I going to pick up straws? I get it with Eco friendly environment and all that stuff . But their drinks aren't exactly cheap so I'm sure they can afford a bag for people that order more than one.... and come on I understand you wanna cut cost or save some money for the bags, you could do that with people that only order one drink, but for people that order more than two, and only one person to pick up the two drinks just do yourself and the customer a favor by putting it in a bag for them without having them to ask you because 99% of the time they will ask you for a bag! read more

I had hey tea in Asia and it was much much better. we ordered regular milk tea boba and mango coconut. It was pretty good but I don't get why the boba was so clumpy? I was sucking so hard to a point I felt lightheaded and couldn't get the boba out. See photo. The line is long, so be prepared to wait for at least 20-30 mins. Best to order online. The store front is small, I think they have 4 seats. So not a place to hang out. It's good but not worth the wait. read more

Heytea - Clumpy boba. Yum - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I love HEY TEA!! I went today on the 11th of July and didn't even realize they were giving BOGO for their new triple matcha! The lines was super long and I think I waited around 20-25 mins. Parking was easy since it's in a big plaza but it does get crowded. The service was decent, they take your order, give you your receipt with your number on it and there's a screen inside telling you when your drinks will be ready using the number on your receipt. The Coconut Mango Bloom is genuinely one of my favorite drinks of all time. It being natural and using no artificial flavors is a great point for me too :)) A TOTAL 10/10!!!! Would recommend to anyone The Triple Matcha was okay in my opinion. Like a good 6/10. My bf rlly liked it since it was earthy but I like my matcha to be sweet! read more

Very busy boba shop but the employees are SO FAST. The limiting factor is definitely the customers trying to figure out what they want to order at the kiosk. Every time I have been here, they were not taking in person orders. I highly recommend downloading the app and ordering there. You'll get a coupon too. They have a generous policy of remaking the drinks until it's to your liking. We got the supreme brown sugar bobo milk tea and mango grapefruit boom. The brown sugar tasted really good. I really wanted to like the mango grapefruit boom especially with all of the positive reviews, but I would not order it again. For that price point, I want to love the drink. It tasted okay. I didn't want to ask the staff to make it again because there was nothing wrong with the quality, I think I just didn't like the flavor profile, it was also more watery and I was hoping it would've been a more slushy consistency. I would definitely come again to try their other drinks. FYI, this is not an ideal place to study or hang out. It's a really small cramped space. read more

At first I didn't quite understand the hype about HeyTea, but now I get it! My boyfriend and I arrived about an hour before closing, thinking it wouldn't be too busy but we were wrong. Even 30 minutes before closing, there was still a long line of customers, which definitely says something about how popular this place is! We ended up waiting almost an hour total --15 minutes to order and another 30 minutes to pick up our drinks. Honestly, the wait was long, but it gave us a sense of how popular this place really is. I ordered the Coconut Mango Boom with less sweetness, and it was delicious! The coconut and mango paired so well together, it was super smooth, creamy, and refreshing all at once. The mango chunks added their own natural sweetness, so I feel like I could've gone with minimal sweetness next time and it would've still tasted great. My boyfriend ordered the Cloud Matcha Latte, which had a rich matcha flavor and light, creamy texture from the cloud foam on top. If you're a matcha fan, this one's a solid choice. Overall, even though the wait was long, the drinks lived up to the hype. The quality and flavor were impressive. I'd definitely come back, maybe earlier in the day next time! read more

Horrible service. Cashier was mute the whole transaction. Do better. Brea location has better service.

Please get almond and milk I really want to try the triple matcha, but stomach cannot tolerate whole milk

The drinks are good, but my husband's first time coming here, he arrived to place an order in-person but was told they only accept orders online. After downloading the app, creating an acct, and placing the order, he then had to wait 30 minutes for the drinks. There should be information on their website informing customers of the requirement to order online, and there should be an option to order on the website rather than have to download the app. read more

Best grape drink I've had. I got the crispy grape something but it was so so refreshing esp with the warm weather. Fiance got the yumberry which was a little tart/sour for my taste. Friends said that this place is the best and I would def try again, their fruit drinks look good. read more

This is a new grab-and-go spot with no seating, so plan ahead and order online to skip the wait. We tried: Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk (10/10) Loved this with no added sugar -- the boba brings just the right sweetness, letting the fresh milk really shine. Cloud Matcha Latte(7/10) The cheese foam was great. We wish there was more of it. The matcha was great, but slightly powdery. We'd be back to try other drinks. read more

Heytea - Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk + Cloud Matcha Latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

This is one of my favorite drinks of all time. I love that they put real mango chunks, and the sago is always a nice edition. I've tried many mango sago drinks but this has to be my favorite one. There are always so many people here but the self order makes it go faster. The store is clean and service is always good. The only thing is that my drink comes out to be a bit more than $7.50 which is quite steep for any drink. Overall would recommend, but definitely a once in a while treat! read more

Heytea - Mango grapefruit pomelo - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Ok I will admit, I'm not a tea/boba guy but this place was solid. Only reason why I'm giving it a 4 is because I think the place is understaffed! The lines are too long and there are way too many people here! Glad to know their marketing is doing good but my goodness it does take a while to order and longer for the drink because so many orders. The app acts up when ordering. read more

I come here for the Coconut Mango Boom (less sugar) and have tried nothing else outside of the menu because I can't get enough! If you like mango, coconut and sago this drink has the perfect ratio and sweetness. It's like a fresh mango dessert (way better than anything at Hui Lau Shan). Don't be a noob and wait in a physical line they have a pretty intuitive app where you can order beforehand (currently with a 15% discount for new users). I've never seen a boba shop crank out so many drinks so quickly and have (yet) to mess up my favorite drink. read more

I prefer to enjoy the flavor and aroma of the tea together with boba and milk when I have a boba tea. Realizing the cheese foam is the trend, I wanted to try it. However, not having smell of the tea aroma makes it inferior to some others. They are good at keeping quality and making standard. So far, I have tried them at this irvine, ca and Bellevue, Wa locations. They have the same taste and quality. Able to order online and pick up later is a big plus. read more

I was so excited to get Heytea in Irvine now that they're opening branches in California but can say that their drinks so far aren't nearly as good as what I've had in China. My mango coconut boom was watered down and kind of melted when the order was ready. Heytea drinks in China are great because they usually have quite a strong tea flavor and are generous with the fresh fruits that are included but unfortunately both were lacking. Still an ok drink but disappointing given the price & my expectations. read more

Heytea - mango coconut boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Customer service is really good, staff so friendly!! We saw that the line was short so gave them another try. Ordered the coconut mango boom less sugar and supreme brown sugar boba milk iced less sugar. Real and fresh mango pieces. The sago coconut milk is tasty tasty. The coconut jelly is a good parring. Their brown sugar milk tea has a true tea flavor. Boba need some work. There is a slight odor when you are in the store. Overall 3.34 star rating for me read more

Heytea - Coconut mango boom is really good. Supreme brown sugar boba milk tea: flavor on point but boba not QQ - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

This place is good. Their Guava Jasmine drink is soo delicious! so sad it's not in season anymore. The coconut boom is yummy as well and the Kale Boost. Was not a fan of their jasmine milk tea or boba. The reason for the low rating I guess would be the smell in the store. Not sure if it's a paint smell? but it has like a chemical scent. Been there about 4 times and it's always the same. Get us nauseous. Customer service is not great. Cashier girls always seem to be bothered by questions or just in general with the customers. They look annoyed to just even be there. I try to look at the menu ahead of time and suggestions from other reviews on what drinks are good because I feel like I can't ask the girls taking orders because they roll their eyes and just look upset. Other than that, will only come back for the coconut boom and jake boost when around the area. read more

Very cute interior. Not quite a cafe to study at but great to talk with a friend. The cashier was super nice and patient with the questions I had. I got the triple matcha drink, was very delicious. I'm personally not a fan of the matcha jelly, but I hadn't seen that anywhere else before so I had to try it. Would definitely go back! read more

Food = 3/5 Service = 3/5 Ambiance = 2.5/5 Walked in to order on a day where the line was not crazy. Ordered the grape boom, which was decent but not amazing, especially for the price point. The line has been too crazy every time I've been to the plaza, so I haven't had the chance to try more drinks. The inside of the store is small but it is cute when you get the chance to be inside. read more

Staffs are very nice And drink taste is really really good! My best boba place so far :) read more

The mango boom is a satisfactory mango slushie experience that incorporates coconut flavors (like a cold mango sticky rice) and sago. Definitely a hit for a warmer day, but also more dessert than a boba substitute. Efficient service with a good following of your receipt number. Despite the line of 10 people in front of us, we got our order within 5 minutes of placing it. The shop isn't a sit-down, mainly just a grab-and-go. Looks clean, nothing much more. Plenty of parking but in an otherwise busy parking lot as is. read more

I came in just a little after opening at 11 am on a Saturday and they were already busy preparing online orders. Took me about 10 minutes to get my tea after ordering from the counter. I got a large coconut mango boom for about $7.99 before tax and it was pretty darn amazing. The pureed mango is still light tasting and I loved that there were bits of tangy sweet mango, mellow rich coconut chunks and chewy little sago balls. Really impressed by this drink! read more

Heytea - Coconut Mango Boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Every time we drive past by HeyTea ever since grand opening a few months ago, we always saw a line, so we decided to wait for the hype to die down a bit before trying. My sister and I came on a Friday night around almost 8pm, which there were still some people waiting for their drinks. Thankfully we didn't have to wait because we placed a mobile order on their app beforehand so once we told the staff our order number we quickly got our drinks that were already on their cart. We ordered the mango grapefruit boom (what I got), crisp grape boom, and the supreme matcha latte. The interior is nice and minimalistic. The mango grapefruit boom was pretty good, I liked the toppings at the bottom, though I mostly tasted sago and not much of the coconut milk jelly. The mango smoothie itself was fresh and had a good sweetness to it that paired well with the coconut milk. However, I'm not sure if it was because I got it through mobile ordering or not enough ice was blended, but it wasn't slushy enough. It tasted mostly like just juice to me. On the other hand, the crisp grape boom had a good slush consistency so maybe it was the ice. I liked the tiny bits of real grape at the bottom so it was pretty easy to sip it. Both smoothies were good, but I definitely prefer the mango and I can see why it's popular despite mine not being exactly a smoothie. The supreme matcha latte was alright, I can tell it was good quality and it was creamy, but for me it might have needed a bit more milk since it had a slightly bitter aftertaste. Overall, I am hesitant to say it was worth the hype, but I did enjoy finally trying it and didn't have to wait. Not sure when I would come back again, but I definitely am curious about their other smoothies like the yumberry or mulberry strawberry. And I would recommend ordering on the mobile app so you don't have to wait as long. read more

Heytea took over the spot where Yifang used to be, and to say we were devastated when Yifang closed is an understatement. After reading some of the mediocre reviews, my husband and I were expecting to be sorely disappointed with the drinks here, but we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious and fresh all the drinks have been! Heytea is definitely one of our favorite drink places now and we are beyond OBSESSED! Between the two of us, we've tried the mango grapefruit boom (my husband's favorite), strawberry boom (my favorite), grapefruit boom, grape boom, passion fruit blast, and coco water jasmine (their current collab with vita coco). I didn't think it would be possible to top Yifang's mango pomelo sago, but this place does such a good job and the quality is more consistent compared to Yifang. I love the strawberry because it's just SO light and refreshing, and it tastes so fresh and not artificial. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the fruit booms! All their drinks are perfectly sweetened and refreshing. The drinks are amazing, but more than half the times we've been here, picking up our drinks has been super chaotic and disorganized (which I think a lot of Yelpers have docked them stars for). From what we've observed, the drinks are actually made super quickly, but the workers let the drinks start piling up and don't seem to have an efficient way to distributing them. Definitely keep an eye for your drinks because you may have to ask for them, lol. I also highly recommend using the app to order your drinks too, because the interior of the store is pretty small and can get pretty cramped and busy inside. If fruity drinks are your jam, definitely give this spot a try! read more

My first time at HeyTea & I totally get the hype, especially for their Coconut Mango Bloom!! I usually don't like coconut drinks but this actually surprised me! Same with the Cloud Coconut Blue ~ not too strong nor too sweet but matcha itself was kinda lacking. Def gonna give it a second chance as my friend swears by it tho. Overall solid boba spot I can see myself frequenting :-) read more
