I'm so happy there is a Hey Tea in Irvine! I used to frequent the Rowland Heights one but it shows "closed" on Yelp now, sad. The parking is challenging to find and the plaza is always busy, so be ready for that! We used their app to order ahead of time. It can get a little busy so we love the option of ordering ahead of time. Right when you enter the shop, you can smell the fragrance of the tea. From this store, I've gotten the matcha supreme, cloud coconut blue, and coconut mango boom tea. I love them all!!! They're so good and flavorful. I highly recommend the coconut mango boom tea on a hot day. It's very refreshing and the sago is the perfect touch. Their matcha is delicious and strong, not watered downed or too sweetened. I can't wait to try more drinks! read more

Heytea - Cloud coconut blue and supreme matcha - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I've had Heytea in Singapore before and really liked it! Really happy to have it again in the US. :') I arrived around 3:45pm on a Monday afternoon. It wasn't very busy so I ordered on the kiosk and my drink came out a few minutes later. They also have an app you can preorder ahead of the time which is nice. I ordered the cloud coconut blue and it's so good! I love the matcha foam they used and the drink had a nice coconut flavor. It also wasn't too sweet which is good for my taste. I've tried their supreme matcha latte before and want to try the other matcha drinks. I'll definitely come back! :D read more

Heytea - cloud coconut blue - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Crazy lines, the drink I tried was amazing. Lining up for pickups was definitely an experience. There were a lot of mad frustrated people but that's just what it takes these days. Whether chagee or whatever good drink.... waiting a lot is normal now haha. The shop inside is minimalistic with no seating. read more

If you do not order ahead it takes 30 mins + for the drink. Mango sago is good but absolutely not worth it. Highly recommend downloading the app before hands. read more

My guilty pleasure? The mango smash drink, hands down. It's definitely on the heavier, dessert-like side, so make sure to come with some room. The fruit is already soaked in syrup, so it's not something you can really adjust for sweetness... but it's totally worth it. I crave it all the time! Pro tip: skip the long lines by ordering through their app. You'll get 15% off your first order and start collecting points. Super easy pick-up experience too! Just a heads up! this isn't a sit-down spot and there's no bathroom, which is a bit of a bummer. I do wish the ambiance was nicer, but the drinks speak for themselves. If you're a mango lover, this one's a must. read more

Heytea is a pretty popular spot in Irvine for boba drinks. Came on a friday night and it was pretty busy. Ordering is through an ipad and they call out your order number when it's ready. You probably could order online, as it seemed that most people came to the store with their orders already made. My wife likes their Mango Grapefruit Boom, which has Mango, Grapefruit, and Coconut milk. I went with a Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea. Their default settings are for mild sweetness; however, for me, I would have preferred things more "regular sweet". For my wife's fruit drink, most of the sweetness came naturally from the fruits. Overall, I felt that it was an okay experience. The "default" flavoring of the drinks was less sweet than I'd prefer, tea quality was average, the wait times were long (unless you order ahead of your arrival), and prices were higher than average. read more

Was this worth the hype of the line? If you have time! I got the Strawberry Boom which just tastes like strawberry tea with strawberry chunks and crystal boba. Super delicious and refreshing, but nothing crazy special. There are definitely other drinks to try that would make up for the line, but I didn't have the time to try and decipher the ingredients in their menu options! Overall, another boba spot on the list if you're in the area. read more

Heytea - Strawberry Boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Came here to see if the hype was real and I'm really glad I did. Even though the lines are always ridiculously long out the door, both times I've came so far it's a very quick process to order and receive your drink. So far I've tried the coconut mango boom, strawberry boom, green grape boom, and cloud coconut blue. Each one was surprisingly good, but my favorite is the coconut mango boom which reminds me of mango sticky rice dessert. I can't recommend this more and the price is on par with other tea places. read more

I am from the south bay and happened to be in the area and wanted to try Heytea, as one of my coworkers highly praised this spot. I was already overwhelmed by the amount of people that was out of the door and it wasn't a line. Very tight space inside! I saw there wasn't really a cashier and there was a QR code to download the HeyTea app and order. For how busy it looked, it only took maybe 10 minutes to fulfill our order? You know what? I really enjoyed my drink! I would get it again. I got the Mochi Longjing Milk tea and jasmine milk tea. It had higher quality t4ea and the mochi was great. The cups, straws, bags, are all high quality and the prices for the drinks weren't horrible! I would recommend this! read more

I got the triple supreme matcha Wow what an interesting texture Definitely made well and tastes fresh It's a little different than what i thought it would be but that's because i didn't read the description Definitely check out for thick texture jelly drinks read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Ambiance: this Heytea store is not as good as other locations I've been to in LA and in SF, small shop and poorly maintained Service: the service wasn't particularly good, added too much ice even though asked for minimum, and forgot to pack the drinks despite that I have requested in the order Drink: standard Heytea menu, with seasonal special drinks Mango Grapefruit Boom - *** the drink is lack of flavors, grapefruit is barely even visible, inconsistent quality compared to other Heytea locations Price: not worth $8+ per drink for overall experience read more

HeytTea has my heart! Yes, the boba shop scene is superrr saturated in Irvine, but you're missing out if you don't give HeyTea a try. They're a popular chain originating from China and they're know for having innovative drinks and absolutely amazing branding! I got their Grape Boom which is essentially a grape-flavored slushy with fruit bits at the bottom. Grape is one of my favorite fruits, however, grape flavored things tend to miss the mark for me. This was not one of those times! The grape flavor tasted fresh, natural, and not too sweet. The fruit bits at the bottom were actual halved grapes too! A really nice touch. Highly recommend this drink to any grape fanatics! read more

Heytea - Grape Boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

The tea here was decent, but not particularly memorable. It was good enough to enjoy, just not something that really stood out compared to other places. One thing that did affect our experience was the sweetness level. We ordered our drinks at 100% sweetness, but they came out noticeably less sweet than expected and sticker also noted the sweetness level. Unfortunately, the wait time was already quite long, so we didn't want to go through the process of having them remade. Overall, it was an okay experience. Not bad, but with some improvements--especially in order accuracy and wait times--it could definitely be better. read more

Everytime I go to Irvine I get HeyTea because I love them. My absolute go to is the Cloud Crisp Grape, minimal sugar. I get it every time. It's a refreshing slush and creamy with the foam. I also love their supreme bobo milk tea. It's super duper creamy as well and their boba has always been fresh. Recently I tried the cloud coconut blue. It was okay, I felt like the coconut flavor could have been stronger. The matcha foam was delicious though. I also did not like the Yumberry as much as grape. Order on the app to save wait time! read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Didn't love this spot... To order, you can either use the touch screen menu/kiosk (they only have one) or you can scan the QR code and order on your phone (I didn't do this but I would probably say this is the better option). The flaws start here because the location of the kiosk, at least the time of day when I went, was perfectly in the sunlight so it was extremely hard to see the screen. I can see how this can start a line to build up, as it may take a long time for some people to order. It also sits up pretty tall, so I had to stand on my toes to try and see the items at the top. Just not a great user experience in my opinion. I ordered the Coconut Mango Boom and it was really tasty. The mango was very fresh and delicious, although whatever they use to sweeten their drinks still tasted artificial (even though I chose the alternative option). Lastly, the service was so bland. Nobody said anything the entire time I was there except for calling out numbers. There was no customer service experience here at all. Inside is very bland as well, there's not a single seat so it's definitely a grab & go spot. Kind of a bummer there's nowhere to sit outside either. Overall, just not worth my time to come here and I left a bit disappointed! read more

Heytea - Menu June 2025 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I ordered my drinks on their app (first time user 15% off) and was quoted about a 10 minute wait. They also let you know your order status on your phone or you can look for your order number on their TV screen. When I got there, my drink was prepared but because of the small counter space, it was hard to get the workers attention since there was a lot of foot traffic in that area. I got the mango grapefruit boom but it was pretty disappointing. The entire drink was melted despite being there as soon as the drink was done so it was not enjoyable since I was expecting a slushy texture. Other than that the toppings were great. I probably wouldn't come here again since there's other stores that make this drink better. read more

Absolutely wow, came into town for a visit and my friends recommended this place - and it was certainly more than I expected! I ordered the passion fruit blast, with no sweetener and it was delicious! I can't wait to go back! The service is a fast and efficient service, and even has an ordering kiosk to personalize your selections. Overall, the vibe was modern. The place itself is small, but it's a clean and sleek atmosphere, that definitely invites an efficient ordering to the experience! read more

Sad this took over Yifang, but finally got to try Heytea here in the US! I tried it in China and thought the boba was pretty good, although it seems like their fruit drinks are best here. I ordered the coconut mango boom with half sugar and I was afraid it was gonna be a long wait when I saw the line. There's no restroom here so I went out to go find a restroom while waiting for my order lol. By the time I came back, it was already sitting on the counter oop. Few sips in, the drink was really good! It tastes like the ingredients they used for this drink are very fresh and I enjoy all the little textures in this drink that makes it more fun. The coconut and mango flavors were pretty prominent, I enjoyed it a lot! Definitely would get this again if I'm feeling fruity. read more

Tried HeyTea when we were in Singapore and loved the fruit tea drinks they offered. I was excited to see one in the Irvine area when we visited the area. First location in US that I have tried. There was a line when I got there but the line moved quickly. Next time around will order on the app and it will be faster. My favorites are Crisp Grape Boom and Fluffy Cloud Crisp Grape. I ordered Crisp Grape Boom in Irvine but was a little disappointed as the grape was not blended well at all compared the one I had in Asia. Perhaps they are new and needed to work on the consistency. I am looking forward to trying out more HeyTea and hope it will not disappoint. read more

My first time having Heytea and the worker recommended the Triple Matcha. I didn't realize it came with a mochi jelly, which added a really weird texture to the drink. It tasted like I was drinking slimy matcha/milk. It was very crowded on a Friday night, you can order on the kiosk or through the cashier. Next time I would try a different drink! read more

Casually walked in and tried to order my boba, was denied teling me i have to order online. I scan the QR code where it took me to the app store, download, and create a stupid account. Dumbest thing I've heard that you cant buy over the counter. *came on 3/26/26 7pm, the girl with the hat specifically told us that they ONLY take online orders. read more

Parking: Heytea shares a parking lot with a Ranch 99 and several other restaurants. Parking is absolutely terrible here. Interior: There are two kiosks for ordering and a big display board so that you can see when your order is complete. Service: You order at one of the kiosks and your order number will appear on the board above when it is ready. It took about 10-15 mins for me to get my drink after placing my order. Most of the wait was the line at the kiosk. Drink: I got the Coconut Mango Boom and Mango Grapefruit Boom. I like the fact that you can choose to not make them slushies. They both tasted similar but I prefer the Coconut Mango Boom. I ordered both at 50% sweetness and they were still pretty sweet. They tasted like Yifang's Mango Pomelo Sago. The drinks were alright but when comparing the price, size, variety, and hassle at Heytea, I prefer Yifang. read more

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

I was in the area and heard that this place was always busy and popular. I went last week and it didn't disappoint. It's a tiny, cute, and modern boba shop with only one kiosk to order from. There were also qr codes on the windows and doors that say to order online as well. There were a lot of people waiting outside, maybe 10-15 people when I went. I ordered the Red Blossom Milk Tea with boba and cheese cloud. The drink was about $9, a little more on the pricey side. With how busy it was, I was surprised that I got my drink in 8 minutes. The drink was really good, a bit more on the sweeter side. Boba tasted fresh and chewy. What I didn't like about it was that the cup is small for $9. Overall, great boba spot if you like drinks on the sweeter side. There were a variety of interesting drinks to try, so I'm for sure coming back. Good tip is to order online if you don't wanna wait as it could get busy on the weekends. Recommend this place! read more

Got the brown sugar milk tea with boba and i understand the hype! The boba is so good!! There's always a huge line but it moves really fast.

Definitely recommend!! read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Steep Thoughts: Florence's Quest for (Her) Perfect Black Milk Tea Black milk tea: 1.5/2. I got the Red Blossom Milk Tea, less sugar, less ice. This milk tea uses a black tea from Fujian with aromas of "sweet potato, honey, pine tree, and fennel seeds." This milk tea has a super creamy mouthfeel, and it actually does have notes of caramelized sweet potato which I quite like, but it's definitely not a standard black milk tea. I would probably get "minimal sugar" next time, but "less sugar" isn't overwhelmingly sweet for me. Other drinks: 0.5/1. The focus here seems to be on fruit teas. However, there are a couple of milk teas, milk drinks, and matcha drinks as well. I will say that the prices here seem quite high for what you get. Ambiance: 0.5/1. This shop replaced YiFang Fruit Tea (RIP) and has a similarly small footprint with no seating available. There is music playing in the shop, but the AC unit above the door is really loud. Service: 1/1. Order at a digital kiosk or at the counter. The kiosk tells you how many drinks are ahead of you, which is nice. My drink came out pretty quickly given the number of orders ahead of me. Total: 3.5/5 read more

Heytea - Menu as of 2025-09-28 - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I always crave the coconut mango boom from HEYTEA. The drink is so fresh and you can really taste the difference. The best thing about it, it's lactose free for my lactose intolerant besties. I also recommending preordering using the HEYTEA app. This place gets soooo busy so you save so much time ordering beforehand. After signing up for an account you get a 15% off welcome coupon and a 10% off birthday coupon. I'm always hyped for a good deal. I've also tried the mango grapefruit boom before and this drink is a little more bitter from the grapefruit. I do prefer my drinks a little sweeter so my go to drink is the coconut mango boom. Unfortunately, there isn't any seating outside or inside the store but the drinks are so worth the visit. Definitely stop by if you're looking for a sweet treat on the go! read more

You can't go wrong with any drink options here! I literally crave the coconut mango boom- it's so refreshing. You can distinctively taste the quality in the tea in all of their drinks. Theres always a great contrast between the various textures in the toppings. They are pretty quick at preparing your drink. The drinks are always presented to clean and aesthetically pleasing. This is hands down the best bubble tea spot Definitely avoid BOGO days, it's a mess and not worth it. read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Heytea is popular boba shop in New York, originally from China. Most notable to me is its no artificial flavors, no artifical colors, or preservatives statement. When our drinks came, you can tell that is true! The flavors and colors are very subtle and natural. If you prefer artificial flavors, you might find this spot bland or tasting watered down. Our drinks tasted like real fruits with aromatic tea, much on the mellower side and not too sweet! I would try the Mango and Coconut next time for sure. Imo on the pricier end of boba, starting at $7-8, but I feel like that is fair for natural ingredients. The shop itself is tiny with no seating, but it smells sooo pure and clean inside, the smell was so nostalgic to me. Interior is minimalistic and clean, drinks came out considerably fast. read more

HeyTea is an extremely popular boba chain from China. This spot in Irvine is always so packed, so I recommend ordering online for pickup to avoid waiting forever for your drink. We didn't do so and waited roughly 20 minutes for our drink. I got the Triple Matcha with extra matcha, and boy was that a little too much at 9 PM. I think it is a good matcha drink, but it is definitely a little too matcha loaded, so I would recommend something else. It is an awkwardly placed store as there is not much space inside, and everyone ends up crowding outside. Overall, HeyTea is a pretty good boba spot to grab a good drink, but don't stay to hang out. read more

Eh, not really a big fan. Went back in September. Crazy line, parking was a mess, but honestly the drink wasn't that great. I remember the milk was just very overpowering and made the drink taste like icy flavored milk more than anything. There have been some locations opening up in the Bay Area. I don't mind trying it again especially if someone who knows how to navigate their menu can recommend a flavor. read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

A lot of the reviewers were right: their "tea" is terrible but their mango smoothie is delicious. Mango grapefruit slushie: real mango and chunks of grapefruit. Lots of jellies and chewy bits. Feel like this is the only drink worth getting. Crispy grape slushie: it was mostly red grape juice with about 4 grapes at the bottom. It's exactly what you expect from juiced grape juice. Wouldn't recommend. Cloudy jasmine tea: the jasmine was not very good, similar to jasmine tea from Ralphs with some salted cheese foam at the top. I threw it away. Actually no line on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't a long wait. Parking is still too small. read more
