supreme milk tea
P Y.

After not wanting to wait 2 hours during the grand opening I finally got to try it. Not wanting to wait in line I placed an online order but it made me download the app to do so. We got the supreme brown sugar milk tea with boba and the cloud it came with. The drink itself was very rich and honestly just not my favorite, but was decent. For the price, I'm thinking this is a try it once and that's enough for me.

The drinks at HeyTea are consistently delicious in the different cities I've had it and this location in Del Mar is no different. It's the only tea shop I'll consider ordering a fruit tea from and there's nothing that compares to their Coconut Mango Boom! The matcha is stellar too, and my favorite drink from theirs is the Triple matcha. My 3 stars is for the service, as this location compared to UTC allows for pick up orders. The staff look miserable and dread giving out pick up orders. The whole interaction with staff makes this tea shop possibly the worst one to visit.

Mochi yingde black milk tea & cloud mango

Perfect. No notes. 5 stars all across the board. We came here for a sweet palette cleanser after dinner and oh my god...it was amazing. I love the minimalist vibe and the lack of visual "loudness" that comes with a lot of boba shops. Like it was positively underwhelming which I liked a lot. Servers were also friendly! The Mochi Yingde Black Tea might be one of my favorite (boba) drinks I've ever had. I didn't get a chance to try any matcha, but I know they'll be awesome and amazing and perfect--currently counting down the days til my next visit.

I came by to see what the hype is all about and decided to check out Hey Tea at the Del Mar location which opened in August and their newest location just opened at UTC Their menu offers a wide variety from superfood / fruit tea, in season, matcha, and milk teas drinks to choose from. The staff was really helpful and informative. I ended up getting the Triple Supreme Matcha Latte for 7.99. It comes with Matcha jelly, matcha foam, and matcha mochi. The sweetness level starts at 75% and you can adjust it. Wow! It was super delicious. The size is rather on the smaller side but it's worth it. I'd definitely come back to try their coconut mango boom which is one of their popular drinks. Their space is nice and clean and seating are available outside.

Tried the supreme Brown sugar bobo milk, light sweet and no cloud yesterday and it was so good! Ordering was a breeze since they have a self-service kiosk and a QR code to order directly from your phone. The shop was running with just a two-person crew, but they had a great system going and handled everything efficiently. Located in Del Mar. Highly recommend stopping by!

Blue matcha, mango coco boom boom, grape crush, milk tea
Palak G.

Very yummy tea! Esp the mango coconut boom! I like how you can taste all the different flavors of the drinks. The blue matcha was not my fav since idk how I feel about coconut and matcha together. But loved the grape crush def a summer go to! Pls have more 1+1 event hehe The workers literally work 5x the speed. There is always rush but it just speaks for the taste of the product. Ambiance is cute but more of a Togo spot than a work/chilling place. Parking is hard to find whenever I am in this plaza always a bit busy.

Coconut mango blue, coconut matcha blue
Erin Y.

Came on Saturday and it was crowded with an expected wait time of 30 min! We've been wanting to try for a while so we sat in the plaza. I like how they have a screen with order numbers of drinks that are ready so you don't always have to stand around waiting. They have online ordering which is what I'll take advantage of the next time I come. The drinks are reasonably priced considering most of them already come with toppings! I asked the girl what the difference between the coconut mango boom and coconut mango blue were and she said "they're different colors" so that's that haha. Only downside is there's no description of the drinks at all, you kinda just have to wing it.

Grape boom tea and coconut mango boom

Heytea won me over with their app and delicious coconut mango boom which is lactose free! I've heard good things about Heytea but their line is always insane. Turns out their app is amazing. It's not just your typical, order and pickup. It literally tells you how many drinks are in front of you and has a pretty accurate wait time. The wait time can be long and their could even be 30-50 drinks ahead of you! But don't worry, plan accordingly. I recommend placing your order about 25 minutes in advance so where ever you might be coming from, drop in that order. Then head over and your drink should be about done. Grape boom tea, coconut mango boom, and their mango grapefruit boom are all delicious. I agree with others that they need to work on their pick up line vs. ordering in person line. It's a tight space and despite the signage, it's actually not too clear. It can feel like you're cutting the line to pick up your drink when you aren't actually. Just ask around when you get into the store to see if the people are waiting to order or pick up. Should generally have plenty of parking. Even if it's busy, there's a parking garage.

I ordered using the app and the process was efficient. On the other hand, it took about half an hour to get my single beverage. My "coconut mango boom" beverage tasted naturally sweet. It was advised as vegan too. It lacked in sweetness though. The shop looked very modern and sleek but the employees didn't seem too happy. Maybe it was just a busy day. I would not say it is my favorite but I will give HEYTEA another try.

Came here with a friend and I saw that they were promoting a Wicked themed drink, which I was really intrigued about. Unsolicited advice, but I feel like their promo signage should have indicated what was in the drink because the store was barely open, and the workers were SWAMPED with another promo that was taking place that day. I can tell the customer service would have been good, had they not been so overwhelmed, but they were definitely operating under a just be efficient kind of service, which is fine. The Wicked matcha: A pink pomelo aroma cloud is naturally tinted with dragon fruit, no artificial color is used. 1000+ mesh matcha is blended with pomelo aroma juice. Black specks in the cloud are dragon fruit seeds This description was taken from their site, and I may be wrong, but I don't recall any dragon fruit seeds in my drink. Not that I minded either way. Overall, the drink was good, but nothing spectacular.

Just Because.... Love love the coconut mango boom! For $1.00 more you can order the 650ml. They have an app where you can get additional promo codes!!

We decided to stop by here instead of omomo since we were in the area. We got the coconut mango blue and the crisp grape boom. I'd say they're probably not known for their fruit drinks as it was kind of mid. I got 50% less sweetness for the coconut mango blue and it was kind of left bland. Next time I would probably try their matcha, but knowing omomo is just around the corner it would be hard to come back to heytea. The store had an aromatic tea scent that hit you as soon as you entered. The worker was helpful too in giving us more information about the drinks.

It looks like we have a NorCal vs SoCal bubble tea shop battle brewing at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Heytea has opened in a suite just down the slope from an uber popular competitor that migrated south from Orange County a little over two years ago. This Del Mar location is the first one that has opened with another Heytea shop set to debut by the end of this year at the Westfield UTC Mall. From what I heard through a relative, this chain is quite popular up in the Bay Area. Based on the soft opening weekend a couple of months ago, what I saw was an unbelievably long line to cash in on their BOGO free drink promotion. The wait was at least two hours so I turned around and headed home because it was not worth the time. I returned on a weekday afternoon a few days later, and there was still a queue of about a dozen people when I arrived. The inside was small with no seating. The menu screen was only available at the service counter in front of the register. I think many customers ordered online to save time and to be able to view the selections more easily. Fruit teas made up over half of the choices which included categories like Matcha, Superfood Boost Tea, Tea Latte, and Bobo Milk Tea. The terms Boom and Cloud were used extensively. They referred to the slushy fruit base and cheese foam, respectively. Not being a fan of foam in my drinks, I chose the Mulberry Strawberry Boom and the Green Grape Boom for my order. About ten minutes later, the two cups were placed inside a takeout bag with a cardboard tray on the bottom as a holder. I found the flavors of both choices to be quite intense which was good. What was less impressive was how the tea flavor was overwhelmed by the fruitiness. If you are more of a tea purist, then maybe go with one of the jasmine tea varieties. There was only one cup size which I believe was 24 oz. The prices of the fruit teas were expensive as nearly all of them cost either $7.49 or $7.99. Add boba for $0.99, tax, and gratuity and the total for one drink was over $11. The staff was pretty proficient at assembling the drinks despite the high volume of business. My initial experience at Heytea was between a three and four star level.

To be honest, as I saw reviews come in for this location and their National City location, I became skeptical - many noted it to be mediocre, especially for the price. However, with everything being pricey, the work that goes into making these, and the quality of ingredients used, I think it is overall appropriately priced - the whole 4.5" cheesecakes are on the higher side, but the slices, which come from a what I believe is a 8" or 9" cheesecake, are reasonable (original was $7.50, matcha was $8.50). Both the matcha tirmaisu and the original from age slice were tasty and light. If I had to choose, I would get the original slice again. It was beautifully balanced, and once all defrosted, tasted like a cross between mousse, cheesecake, and the inside of cream puff, all sitting on top of a delicate cake crust. One last thing, just wanted to give a shout out to the male employee who helped us tonight! Wonderful customer service, taking the time to explain the products, and ensuring the highest quality of the products being delivered. We will be back! Can't wait!

In a plaza that appeared to be slow or dead leaving lots of space. I parked almost in front - just off to the side. Walk in and it's order at a kiosk. I get automation as it's something I do, I've done and will do as times change. However, I had questions and ended up just ordering something else as there was no human interaction to answer me. Place is deceivingly small - there are a bunch of seating - I wouldn't go in with a large group but definitely places to sit, chat or work on your laptop (saw several students? hammering away on their laptop keyboard). Not sure, but maybe they also offer WIFI.? Drinks seems watered down in my opinion. And I've ordered the same drinks at other locations and either the ingredients were off or it was prepared differently that didn't quite align to my expectations and taste. However, place was busy so maybe it's just how it's served as business was steady and I saw a few order the same as what I got. Don't live in the area so highly unlikely that there will be a return visit.

There was a lot of syrup in it and it just tasted like artificial mango syrup when I got it at 75% sugar. They might be using a different brand for yakult but for the prices that are being charged (avg drink is 6.75) they can have better quality. Maybe can try adding more natural/ house made syrup. But maybe it's one off and just this drink. I haven't tried the other ones but the Thai tea one looked pretty good. The staff is nice and welcoming and the vibe of the store is cozy a good study spot! Plenty of parking in the plaza!

Came here on a Saturday night and all the tables were in use so we settled for bar seating. I've never eaten inside truth be told and we had only stopped here for egg rolls to munch on whenever we head up to the OC or LA lol. Their fried egg rolls are really good so of course we started off with them, an order of 9. I do wish they had given more lettuce to wrap them in. More of a kitchen prep issue. There menu is fairly small, at least compared to other Vietnamese spots I have been to. I was torn between "The TCN", tai chin nam, which is rare steak, brisket, and flank, and the "The TNG", tai nam gau, which comes with rare steak, flank, and fatty brisket. I'm a nerd so TNG caught the attention of my Starfleet tricorder but lost me at fatty brisket. I liked my dish. The portion size to price ratio was fairly good. I've had similar size bowls at other places and they were $20+ while this was less than. Broth was bright and not too greasy. Tender pieces of beef. A good stop when you're in the area and craving pho.
