Tried Pistachio Cloud King Jasmine and Coconut Mango Blue and have no complaints taste wise. The only con I can see is that the place is very small and you have to wait outside for your order. Nothing bad if low customer but I can see it being a headache if there a long line. Above average and worth it if no line. read more

The Monterey Park HeyTea is by far my favorite HeyTea in Southern California. Picking up your order is seamless. Performance is consistent. The workers are professional and efficient. I had an especially wonderful experience at this HeyTea today thanks to a worker named Yichun. Yichun was very helpful in helping me navigate the HeyTea app to use my Sparks to apply rewards to my order. She was so cheerful and happy to help. She also helped me get Sparks on my friends' orders as well (since they didn't want their points hehehe). There was no wait tonight, so we got our drinks immediately handed to us by Yichun as well. She also complimented my custom Doraemon sticker that I drew using the HeyTea app! The drinks, of course, are amazing. My personal favorite drink EVER is the Crisp Grape Boom, a delicious blend of jasmine green tea and grape juice that is miraculously only 120 calories! Every component in the drink is very well balanced. The slush is cold and refreshing without diluting the flavor. The sweetness of the grape juice complements the soft, floral jasmine tea in such an addicting way. And the pieces of grape at the bottom provide a satisfying "crisp" crunch! Recently, I've also really liked the King Jasmine Guava. The drink is incredibly fragrant. You get a punch the lime zest aroma simply by picking up the cup. You take a sip and are plunged into the sweet salted cheese cloud before breaking through to the wonderfully ripe guava drink, all the while being enveloped in their nine-scented King Jasmine Tea. Sweet, cheesy, ripe, complex, and fragrant. I almost feel bad drinking it because it feels like I'm cheating on the Crisp Grape Boom. And yes, it is that deep. And no, I am not exaggerating about anything. I love the Monterey Park HeyTea so much. Great vibes. read more

We got here on a Thursday around 6pm and there's a line but it moved pretty fast. However, you do have to wait again to get your drinks so if you are short on time, highly recommend to order online ahead of time. I originally got the hot pistachio cloud king jasmine but after waiting for some time I was sold I would have to wait 15 mins for a new batch of tea so I got iced pistachio cloud jasmine coconut instead (a seasonal item). I really like how you can taste the crunchy pistachio in the drink and since I got light sugar, the sweetness was perfect! The tea flavor is not the strongest but does balance well with the pistachio cloud so overall a very solid drink! read more

SO good. No notes. Heytea is really nostalgic to me because it's all over China, and I used to drink it obsessively when I would visit China over the summers. I love everything on the menu, and their milk tea is to die for. As a boba fanatic, Heytea is one of my favorite chains that exist in the US. read more

I loved Heytea when I had it in China, it was one of my favorite tea spots. I'm glad they brought it to the US, but to be honest it's not quite the same. It still helps cure the craving, but the tea flavor doesn't feel as strong as I remember. Best way to order is through the app if you want to avoid the long lines. Also note most drinks don't come with boba by default, so you'll have to add it as a topping. Some drinks I've liked so far are the Kale Boost tea, the Yingde milk tea with mochi, and the guava tea. Overall they're good, just not as memorable as the ones I had in China. It is on the pricier side, but I guess that's the cost if you want that Heytea fix. read more

The drinks are still really good. They have new smaller cups... There was this one day where their internet was down so they couldn't take orders. So the lady in front told us to order on the app. Which we did.. so we walked to Daiso while we waited for about 10 minutes and when we went back she just told us that the internet was still down.. Which I was so confused about because she told us to order on the app but either way .. what did the internet have to do with making my drinks. But I just said okay. I would check in every 10-15 minutes and every time I walked up to the store she would hide her face with her hands. I was a bit annoyed because I had already paid for my drinks and I waited patiently for almost an hour, I'm not sure what the internet being down had anything to do with making my drinks. After an hour, I ended up just asking for a refund. Definitely expect a wait when you want to get a drink here but the quality is good. I think they have other locations, which I probably will try out to see if they have better service. read more

Heytea - new smaller cups - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

TLDR: Some things you just can't have enough of. It's the best mango drink I've had in the US, and the brand is yet to let me down. Coconut Mango Boom: The main problem living on the West Coast is that the mangos are just bland. The occasional mango drink purchased in other locations just tastes like syrup. HeyTea is the first establishment that made the drink taste like the mangoes found in Southeast Asia. Do they use a specialized syrup? Maybe. Do I care? No. The mango taste is as good as it gets, and the coconut adds a layer to keep things dynamic. HeyTea also gives an option to add tea (surprise) into the drink. This tea adds another layer of fragrance and taste complexity, which I really enjoy. Service: It takes a while for them to finish the drink because of high foot traffic. Order via mobile. Ambiance: It's only a to-go spot. The place is big enough to order via kiosk, and the rest of the customers wait outside. read more

Heytea - Coconut mango boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I've been to maybe a dozen Heytea locations. Their drinks are always outstanding and consistent. The stores smells wonderful and always clean. Their service is always exceptional and efficient. This location is no exception. My favorite drink is the Coconut Mango Boom and is at the top of my list for all time favorite bevs. I order on the app and can always expect how long to wait because it tells you your estimated wait time and how many drinks ahead. When I went to pick up my drink, their quality control is very apparent, with the friendly staff telling me to be sure to start drinking it within the first three minutes. Never an issue for me because I can't help but scarf down the entire drink immediately. read more

Heytea - Coconut Mango Boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Love the boba here! My go to is the yingde cheese milk tea, the (triple) supreme matcha latte, the jasmine milk tea and the coconut mango boom (for non caffeinated option). Honestly, all the drinks here are super solid. The line can get pretty crazy so make sure you order ahead via the app. There's even an option to customize the sticker on the cup which gives it a a nice personal touch. read more

At this point Heytea and long wait lines go together, so visit at your own discretion! They are extremely understaffed but I occasionally still return because I really enjoy their drinks. At least the neighborhood seems quiet and safe for people to wait around outside the store. This time I tried their new King Guava jasmine milk tea which was fragrant with flavors that were delicious and unique. read more

Goated boba place. LOVE LOVE LOVE their Coconut Mango Boom!!! I've also gotten their Cloud Coconut Blue before too, and it's so refreshing. Honestly can't really go wrong with any drink here. I discovered that they have "taste enhancing straws" at this location. Depending on what drink you order, you'll have the option of getting this. It's literally 3 tiny straws stuck together, that mimics the sipping action instead of sucking? Apparently it does make the flavors stand out more! My friend and I were super confused when we saw it at first though LOL. This location is super tiny. There is always a long line here, but it goes by quickly! You can also order on the app, which apparently is a lot faster. It's a grab n go spot because there's literally no seating at all, but because it's in the Monterey plaza there's plenty of open hang out space. read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Love the drinks at Heytea, but this location in particular is too disorganized. The store is tiny and crowded. When there are BOGO offers, the line gets ridiculously long and it's hard to know when your order is ready because there are so many drinks that they are working on. The staff doesn't seem very friendly or helpful if you ask for the status of your order. I know there is a screen showing which order numbers are ready, but it's not completely accurate. I would recommend ordering through their mobile app if possible. A self-order kiosk is available inside, but I see most people order at the register instead. These are my top drinks: Triple Supreme Matcha Latte: high-quality matcha drink with a creamy foam top that adds a nice, silky finish to each sip. The matcha jelly and matcha mochi toppings create an enjoyable, chewy textural contrast to the drink. Mango Grapefruit Boom: a fruity drink that blends fresh mango and fresh grapefruit. The sweetness from the mango puree balances out the bitterness of the grapefruit pulp very well. I really like the texture of the sago in this drink. One of the good things about this location is that there is plenty of free parking in the underground structure, although street parking is limited. read more

So happy to see Heytea opened up in Monterey Park! Would recommend all the spring specials: golden oolong yuzu tea, pistachio cloud jasmine coconut, and king jasmine guava (milk tea). I got the golden oolong yuzu with 25% sugar, and it was still definitely sweet enough. Service was relatively quick - very short line on an early Sunday afternoon. Prices are on the higher side (~$9). Would come back to try more flavors if I'm in the area! read more

This location at HeyTea is at the Atlantic Time Square in Alambra. You can see the crowd waiting outside driving down Atlantic. They have an app if you would like to preorder to save yourself the wait. Our group our 4 came here after lunch and there was a crazy line. We decided to order on the app. We thought we were smart to avoid the line, but apparently there was still 50+ drinks in front of us, and an ETA of 30 minutes. That is a crazy long amount of time to wait for tea. Anyways I had the Supreme Matcha Latte ($7.99) and after the long anticipation... I was a little underwhelmed about the results after waiting for so long. There are so many other places that have better matcha than the one I had. I know one of our friends said they didn't like their drink, but had like other drinks here in the past. Sounds like a hit or miss. I'm going to judge them based on my experience and I think it's pricey with a ridiculously long wait, and my drink was about average tasting. I know I have one of these HeyTeas closer to me in Irvine, but I really don't care to visit any of their locations. read more

I'm glad they added a HeyTea location here in Monterey Park. The location is tinyyyy. It's a grab 'n' go kinda place. There is usually always a line. I got the coconut mango boom. It lives up to th hype!! It's so good. 50% sweet is perfect. SOOO much mango in it. It is NOT caffeine free. There is some jasmine tea in it. The reason for 3 stars is the horrible and slow service. The reason for the line isn't because there are not enough workers. The person at the front just will NOT hand you the drink for some reason. I showed my order number. I saw my drink sitting there on the counter. I stood there for 5 minutes why they wouldn't just put a lid on and hand it to me. Stood there for 5 more min as the continued to prepare other drinks and my drink is still just sitting there with a bunch of other drinks. People waiting. All u need to do is put be lid on and call the number... Once I saw her put the lid on... she still did not hand it to me. Stood there for couple more minutes and decided to just reach in and grab it myself. I would appreciate if they improved on their assembly line/ service. read more

Okay, so I've been hearing about this place lately and decided to give it a try. I stopped by on a Sunday evening and it was pretty busy. Ordering was simple since it's done through the app, but from the time I placed my order to when I received my drink, it took about 42 minutes. I ordered the Cloud Jasmine Tea with boba. The drink had a nice balance of flavors and was reasonably priced, which I appreciated. That said, after finishing it, I felt like something was missing. Neither the tea nor the boba really stood out or felt memorable. It was good, just not great. Service-wise, the staff member working the front was doing her best handling customers and making drinks at the same time. It honestly seemed like they were short-staffed, as there didn't appear to be much order inside, with customers trying to get her attention and ask for updates. Having an additional staff member dedicated to customer service probably would have made the experience smoother. Overall, I'd still recommend giving this place a try, especially since I believe they recently opened. I'd be willing to come back on a less crowded day and see if the experience feels different. There are definitely other boba spots in the Monterey Park area that may offer a stronger overall customer experience, but this place still has potential read more

My aunt in China told me she loves HEYTEA and that we must have some in the States. I swore up and down I've never seen or heard of it... then came back from a trip this past November to find that we, in fact, have HEYTEA. Shows what I know. Was kind of sad to see they didn't have the same purple rice and mochi milk tea but did have a similar mochi-only one (I think it was a Longjing Milk Tea). Also tried the standard milk tea with bobo (boba), Grapefruit Boom, Kale Boost Tea, both Crisp Grapw Booms, and plain Jasmine which was lovely and super fragrant. I think you have to order using their app when going in person, and it's easier to anyway cause the shop is tiny and every time we've gone, there's been a lot of people crowded inside and out waiting for their drinks. It takes probably at least 20 minutes to get it so order beforehand for pickup! Limited street parking on Atlantic and free parking in the underground garage. read more

HEYTEA was founded in 2012 in Jiangmen as Royal Tea, but they rebranded to avoid trademark issues. They've been in the USA since December 2023, with their first location in New York City, followed by their first West Coast location in Beverly Hills in July 2024. This location in MPK opened in May 2025. We always want to stop by Heytea before heading to AMC, but there's usually a long wait. I recently discovered their app! While watching Avatar: Fire and Ash, I asked my wife what she wanted, and she mentioned a HEYTEA × POP MART x Twinkle Twinkle collaboration her friends had recommended, specifically raving about the Tiramisu Rich Chocolate ($8.99). She ordered it with the default amount of ice and less sugar. Made with mascarpone cheese foam, cocoa, and black tea, it's a dessert-like experience. They even give out a paper bag with a Twinkle Twinkle character for those who order it. She loved it! It's packed with caffeine, though. I wanted a drink but didn't want caffeine. I ordered the Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea (Original) for $7.49, cold with ice and less sugar. It was perfect - a bit sweet, but not too much. Thanks to it being caffeine-free, I got to bed on time. When ordering through the app for the first time, they offer several coupons. I used a 25% off coupon for my wife's drink and another 15% off coupon for mine, five minutes later. It's great that you don't have to wait to use another coupon! We both enjoyed our drinks and will definitely be back to HEYTEA soon! read more

#119 in my Teaholic Diaries. I asked about a few of their drinks but the employee was unable to describe any of them. Since service wasn't able to assist me, I went with something straightforward and ordered their double matcha. Sadly, the matcha quality wasn't great - or maybe it was the preparation. Either way, I couldn't finish the drink. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

I love going to HEYTEA for fruit teas as they always hit the spot. I wish they had some sort of strawberry drink as that is my go to flavor but the mango coconut boom was delicious. I also wish they had lychee jelly as a topping! I got pretty lucky as I came when it was not busy at all, but if it were busy, I would recommend ordering via their app since there is only one kiosk inside. read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Monterey Park, California

ried HeyTea recently and honestly, the app ordering is a game changer. Being able to customize everything ahead of time, sweetness level, ice, toppings, then just walk in and grab it without waiting in line feels elite. No awkward hovering at the counter wondering if your drink is next. The drinks themselves are super solid. You can tell the tea quality is a step above typical boba spots, and the fruit teas taste fresh instead of overly syrupy. Foam options are smooth and not too heavy, which I appreciate. Only downside is it can still get pretty busy, but the app completely offsets that, when they're accpeting orders that is. read more

Got the BOGO pistachio cloud king jasmine, minimal sweet. I couldn't really taste the pistachio, but the tea itself was really strong and had the perfect level of sweetness, which made it really enjoyable overall. I've been here many times and have tried other drinks like the mango grapefruit, and it's always been a good experience. Service is usually really friendly and fast (unless they're running a promotion like a BOGO, then the line gets crazy long.) There's no seating inside, but parking is convenient either right in front or in the garage downstairs. read more

If there isn't anything else you read in this review, read this: ORDER THROUGH THE APP! This location is notorious for long wait times due to an incredibly high demand. On the app, you'll be able to: (1) see the wait times which are accurately updated, (2) see when exactly your drink is ready, and (3) use the abundance of discount codes they give. Peak wait times tend to be in the evenings and, especially, when they have BOGO deals, so proceed with caution during these times. The establishment itself is small and typically filled with people either waiting to order or waiting to pick up their order. Most folks seem to be displeased with their service, but I can only imagine it's difficult to manage such a large volume of orders with the size of their team/facility. My favorite drink is their coconut mango boom (no adjustments to sweetness, but with less ice), which I get almost every time. Their new king jasmine guava drink is also delightful. Overall, download the app and tamper your expectations for fast/stress-free service, and you will enjoy the drinks so much more. read more

09/06/25 Saturday Can in the afternoon around 1 PM. Despite the line, ordering was quick via the kiosk. Although I will say, the lines were a bit confusing since the store is small so you can't tell if people were waiting to order or pick up despite the signs. We got the supreme matcha latte which was very delicious, but I don't know if I'd come back given the premium pricing. I can kind of see what the hype is about. Inside, the store looks very clean, crisp, and futuristic. Definitely a unique aesthetic. No seating but there are standing areas. They have a screen that tells you your order status. You also get text updates. read more

This is my second time going here and it always seems to have a line. I went on a Friday around 3 p.m. and it was especially long. I ordered through the app and the drinks took about 30 minutes to make, so we just walked around the plaza to kill the time. I tried the triple supreme matcha latte, which came stacked: matcha jelly, matcha mochi, matcha latte, and matcha cloud. I loved every aspect of it but next time, I would opt for the double matcha because the toppings became a little too much for me at the end. read more

Theres no food served at this boba shop. The service is ok, however, for regulation on orders, it's pretty bad. I understand that there's certain events and collabs that take place for a while, however, the wait is insane! I waited for an hour and 30 minutes for 3 drinks for my collaboration drinks. The collab drink was the tiramisu milk tea. I got it with less sugar. Its a nice light tea with the flavor of tiramisu. The ambiance is average with music and people talking over each other. The only thing I recommend is to order online if you can and I don't think I'll order again unless the hype dies down or it's a slow day for them. TIP: There's no restrooms here! It's a walk in and in the Atlantic Times Square plaza. There's parking on the bottom of the plaza. read more

Another tea/boba for the 626 area and why not? Everyone likes them and it is handy to have so many. Finally got to try Heytea and I will definitely be back. There was a surprising variety compared to other tea/boba places. I especially like the Kale Boost Tea. It turned out to be not a bit "grassy" tasting and really refreshing. It also came in a super cute cup/bottle. We also enjoyed the Coconut Mango Boom with pudding and boba. This was super creamy with a great balance of coconut and mango flavor. read more

Hey Tea, located in Monterey Park off Atlantic Blvd in the same plaza as AMC and Daiso, is a new tea spot serving up some delicious tea. It was my first time here and I have heard many people talking about this place. I think it came from another country, and they decided to come to America to open stores here. Overall the variety of the menu seems like anyone would enjoy the drinks. You can adjust of course the level of sweetness and also the ice level as well. I got a special drink which was Wicked theme and it was delicious. The only downside may be that it's not really a place you can hang out and the drink. It's more like you just pick up your order and leave. read more

I just want to say that this is probably one of the best smelling boba shops I've ever been to haha. I got the green grape cloud and was really surprised with how good it tasted. With the drink alone, I would go back and try more of their other drinks. However, what took a star off for me is 1) the lack of indoor and outdoor seating / 2) confusion of where to order indoors. The space is small and when it gets crowded, it's hard to make sense of things. read more

I really like how they use real ingredients - you can taste the mango and coconut clearly. I also love the little jellies inside the drink. There's no seating at this location, so it's more of a grab-and-go spot. I recommend downloading the Heytea app because I was able to get discount with this drink order. I also loved their twinkle twinkle pop mart collab and sadly it was all sold out before I came. I will come back to try their other drinks. read more

I always see a long line in front of this store and I've heard that this is a lot of people's favorites so I definitely wanted to give this place a try. Luckily they allow mobile ordering so I could order ahead and then just go in to pick up without having to wait outside for a long time. I ordered the Jasmine Tea ($3.99) with Brown Sugar Bobo ($0.99). I've also tried the Supreme Matcha Latte (7.99). For the tea itself I would say that it's one of the better, higher quality ones I've tried. The boba is good too, but not so outstanding. Out of all the boba places in this area, this is definitely one of the better ones. The prices are higher than other places though, so it's not as casual as the other places either. Aside from them bringing your drinks out, it's pretty much no contact since they also have a kiosk inside for you to place your orders. There's no seating inside, only a small waiting space so all there really is inside is the counter. Tea here is good and they seem to have different seasonal drinks that are different from other places. I've come here a couple times already but it's definitely more of a treat yourself kind of place. read more

I got their BOGO cheese brown sugar bobo milk tea. It was insanely creamy. The cheese foam added that salty-sweet balance and the brown sugar boba was soft and fresh. They said the boba sold out when I ordered but when I got it, it came with the boba. That being said, I waited about an hour from line to drink in hand (5:57-6:56). For a BOGO deal, that is to be expected. Also, the location is very small and can get overcrowded indoors due to the line. Service was good given how busy it was. I wish they had a speaker microphone to call out the order numbers. Overall, the drink is rich, heavy, and definitely a "once in a while" treat unless you're trying to test your cholesterol levels. I personally wouldn't get this particular drink again given how heavy the ingredients are. read more

I've been wanting to try Heytea ever since the Lisa hype with the matcha and finally pulled the trigger when my friend told me about their BOGO Jasmine latte. I got there and there was a small crowd. I was like line wasn't bad! By then they were all waiting. The deal is automatically applied if you use their App which everyone else seemed in the know. Rarely people ordered in person or on the tablet on the wall. I got a jasmine latte with matcha jelly and oatmilk. It is very good and you can tell the tea flavor. The milk was frothed and the matcha jelly is tasty. The straw is very interesting in shape like 3 small straws stuck together. I couldn't really suck up the jelly with it, the straw holes were so small. Minus 1 star because it said it was a 15 min wait and at 16 min I got a text that the drink was ready but it wasn't...I waited another 15 min. I thought it was too good to be true that 39 drinks ahead of me would be fine in 15 min... read more
