    Hey Tea is my most favorite boba spot in Bay no doubt. I could not find a drink that I hate here Today I tried their new seasonal drink - pistachio cloud jasmine coconut and I really like it. It tastes super fresh, light and not too sweet at all. Basically just coconut juice with a nutty creamy pistachio foam on top but it went really well together. You can even choose 0 cal sweetener to lower the calories intake, which I did, so I didn't feel guilty at all drinking the whole thing! It wasn't busy when I went, maybe I got lucky, but I got my drink in like 5 mins after ordering. But if you want to save time, you can download the Hey Tea app and order ahead, really convenient if you don't wanna wait. I don't have enough phone storage for it but I would do that if I can

    Fun variations on bubble tea with contemporary design..cool experience ..got coconut mango blue ..mango flavor chilled with blue color and coconut ..refreshing

    triple supreme matcha latte - 1000 mesh+ matcha, savory-sweet cheese cloud on top + matcha mochi and matcha jelly base. fav afternoon treat!

    We love treating ourselves to Heytea as a little treat to break up the workday! The FiDi location is clean, bright and modern. Best of all, everything runs pretty smoothly even with a crowd. Pro tip: order ahead via their app :) I loooove their Triple Supreme Matcha Latte! Not too sweet, ft. a creamy & salty foam atop high-caff matcha... such a perfect combo! It strikes the perfect balance - pleasantly earthy, satisfying and refreshing. Highly recommend if you like matcha that actually tastes like matcha! All in all, this is def one of the better matcha drinks I've had around here and a place we'll keep in rotation :)

    King Jasmine Cloud
    Andrea G.

    We were at the Museum of Modern Art and stopped at HeyTea for our milk tea fix. I ordered the King Jasmine Cloud and really Enjoyed the drink. There was a strong jasmine flavor so I was very happy with the quality of the tea. What I also love is that this location was busy but not super crowded. At other locations, we have to wait awhile to order. And then wait awhile to receive our order. However, here, we didnt have to wait forever to order or to receive our drink. I will definitely be returning to this location for drinks

    Passionfruit tea
    Ash J.

    The passionfruit blast was really good. The tea was bright and refreshing, and the boba was nice and chewy. This spot is always crowded so its worth placing your order online ahead of time! Not much space inside for seating, just a few chairs. But lots of space in the Yerba Buena gardens right nearby.

    Coconut Mango Boom: new take on the mango sago dessert at a cafe. fresh mangos, sweet and creamy coconut topping, PLACE IS MADNESS IN THERE. Always a line inside and lots of people queuing up. Staff makes the drinks quickly, numbers are displaced in the board. Place is accessible by transit.

    Super busy
    Mari A.

    30min wait time..and non stop customers coming in. This place is insane. No seating either. Hope the workers here are happy. They make such good drinks, so tasty and accurate.

    Pistachio Jasmine

    We stopped by here for a drink on a warm city day. They have self-ordering which was pretty quick, but we came in on a Saturday and waited about 20+ minutes for our drinks. It is a decent space to wait in without seating. I got the pistachio jasmine tea which wasn't too sweet and had a nice floral and nutty flavor to it. It was a bit pricy for the size but flavor was good.

    When I saw there was a Heytea in town during my visit, I knew I had to try it before I left. I walked over and immediately got a little nervous when I saw how packed it was--I fully expected a long wait. I ordered at the kiosk and ended up waiting about 15 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering how many people were inside. Totally worth it, too. I got the mango coconut sago drink and WOW. I would order this a million times. It was so freaking good--perfectly balanced, not too sweet, and you could actually taste the tea. Everything about it was amazing. If you're even remotely into tea drinks, this place is a must. I'd absolutely come back the next time I'm in town.

    - Great tea drinks that can be more tea or fruit forward depending what you're looking for .. though also paired with generally long lines even when many of their drinks start at $8 pre tax/tip.; - Definitely you should go when they have BOGO pricing but you have to do pre-noon or they'll likely be sold out of the drinks or have run out of the ingredients - I feel sometimes hit or miss on their matcha if I go on different days. I don't know, maybe if it's just how it's being mixed in or the temperature so that's a bit confusing to me; so I'm not a big fan of the triple matcha drink. - In comparison I find the Crisp Grip and the Coconut Mango Boom are consistently good with no miscellaneous ice chunks and great flavor balance (though generally still on the sweeter side even with 0% sugar). - I like also they have a lot of different fusions of different teas where sometimes I feel their tea flavor is even better than Chicha San Chan which is definitely unexpected. - Recently I really like their Longjing /w Mochi which deifnitely gives more of a roasted buckwheat/nutty aroma and pairs great with the sticky mochi which somehow retains its flavor, stickiness, and slight sweetness even when in the drink. Definitely I would also suggest calling in your order ahead of time on the app, because sometimes it can take between 20 to 30 minutes. A drink, especially if on some days there'll be companies or large group orders where you'll have DoorDashers come in and try to get 30 orders, so you'll be behind them in line.

    Coconut Mango sago with blue spirulina
    Andrea Y.

    I heard about this drink from a co worker. After trying it, it's my favorite!! Coconut, mango, sago with blue spirulina. It's a tropical explosion in my mouth!!

    Located across the street from Moscone West. Parking can definitely be tricky in the area. We ordered ahead via the app, which made pickup process a breeze. There was no line and our order was already ready. Inside was clean, and bright. We order our two usual drinks: the Crisp Grape Boom and the Coconut Mango Boom. The drinks are consistently good. Overall, a solid spot with great drinks, and the convenience of ordering ahead makes it even better. Highly recommend!

    My favorite boba place! I love that you can choose the zero calories sweetener option. Their boom drinks are my calorie they're so refreshing with bots of fresh fruit inside. I always order ahead since the wait can be a while if you don't. They don't really have anywhere to sit inside, but it's in the metreon so you can walk around or sit in the mall.

    The quality of the tea is great, but it gets super crowded and busy. Ordering ahead doesn't seem to speed up the process either.

    Chicha San Chen is the super hyped bubble tea shop from Taiwan that's apparently won a bunch of tea…read morerelated accolades that I won't pretend to be remotely familiar with. Their ordering system is entirely via two kiosks, which can be annoying if the customers ahead are slow, ordering a bunch of drinks, or both. They really should have a policy for cashiers handling smaller orders (2-3 drinks or less) and forcing kiosks only for larger groups. The estimated wait times vary pretty wildly, so take their posted estimates with a grain of salt. It stated 15-20 minutes when I was there, but it took about 25 (and we were just the 2nd group in line, though there were clearly tons of queued orders already with people standing around or sitting waiting). When we finally got our drinks, the Classic Ding Dong Oolong Milk Tea and the Milk Tea with Taro Balls and Taro Paste, I was expecting really prominent tea flavor like you get from the best milk teas in Taiwan and HK, especially given their hand-brewing process for each cup (which partly explains why wait times balloon). Sadly, I got very little tea flavor from either drink. That said, the fresh taro paste and taro balls were very tasty, with the balls having fantastic QQ chewiness. Prices are a bit much though, at almost $10 for that drink alone. I honestly think they could cut costs on gimmicks like the rope carriers (cute for influencers, but pretty useless and likely jacks up the price for regular customers). One silver lining from the long wait is that we spilled over into a free tea tasting slot. Miranda was fantastic as our guide as she was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. She walked us through how their Lishan Oolong Tea (sold separately, not used for in-store drinks) is harvested and sun-baked into 5 different varietals, each with unique colors, aromas, and tastes (and following the sun both literally and figuratively in terms of names and descriptors). Overall, it's a fun experience if you enjoy that sort of thing (and your wait happens aligns with a tasting slot or you can always a reserve ahead of time as well), so 5 stars for Miranda and the tasting, but the actual milk teas were lacking and a disappointment given the hype, cost and wait.

I fell in love with their creative, artisanal drinks right away. The store itself was clean and welcoming. My favorites are the Crème Brûlée Milk Tea and Matcha Toffee. They're both signature drinks and the matcha and toffee balance each other so well. The toffee does get stuck in your teeth, but it adds a nice crunch to your drink. I recommend getting their drinks in either oat or macadamia milk! Their honey boba was fresh with the perfect texture. I don't recommend driving here unless you're okay with parking a few blocks away. I prefer this location over San Jose because their drinks are more consistent. Nowadays, you can order through the self-serve kiosk. Their seasonal drinks are definitely worth trying! There was a Pandan Strawberry Corn milk drink that was pretty refreshing :)

The lights outside really set for such a cute twilight mood and though that wasn't the main point of their shop, it was a cute detail.

The drinks themselves were delicious based on what I remember, I recall their boba being perfectly chewy and not soggy despite getting there so close to closing. The drinks were not heavily packed with sugar, just the perfect amount of tea, milk and sweetness. I'm not really in the area that often, but it's a boba shop that I'll remember forever!

The taste of the drink tastes very off-putting - it definitely does not taste like a jasmine green milk tea, but like a burnt tea with milk just added to it.
