    The matcha at HeyTea was SO delicious! I got the iced cold matcha latte and absolutely loved it. It was super sweet, creamy, and had such a good matcha flavor. Definitely recommend giving it a try! It is a small shop might want to order ahead they only have one kiosk and not good parking. Friendly service and fast. One tip: I'd skip the foam unless you're a fan of cheese foamit's definitely a cheese foam and wasn't really my favorite. Overall, though, the matcha latte was delicious and I'd definitely order it again!

    Grape slushie drink/ this cup design is everything.

    My family thinks I go to every tea/boba shops in the City. I mean, they are not completely correct but they are not wrong either. I TRY! I love exploring different shops across the City and tea/coffee/boba shops are some of the best to explore due to versatility in style and price. Some of them I get delivered because it's just easier for my schedule. Recently tried their grape slushie drink and found it refreshing. I also like their fun cup designs. Will return to try other drinks. Located on 4th street between Mission and Howard.

    Delicious King jasmine guava tea with boba ($8ish). Quality fruit flavor. Not too sweet. However, it took over 20 minutes for my drink after I ordered at the kiosk. I think the secret is to order via the app or online ahead of time. Service did not seem to handle disgruntled customers--I'm going to be honest, I was not the only one! People were disappointed by how long it took (it was very busy.) Seating is very minimal because of its prime location across from Moscone and next to the Metreon. Please do not drive here. Take BART or Muni or walk or bike. Parking would be very difficult.

    One of my favorite tea spots, that doesn't necessarily have Boba but it can be considered a boba/milk tea spot. This location is right outside of the metreon, the entrance is outside and it can be busy! You can download the app and order before pick up, they have a self serve kiosk and people also taking orders. It's always so busy and such a flow at any heytea I go to, the workers are always so hard working and make hundreds of drinks. I did an order for my friends, I personally like the mango grapefruit bloom, it feels like a drink you'd get on vacation! My friends got coconut mango bloom, cloud bloom (cloud is the cheese topping), pistachio cloud coconut, triple supreme matcha latte. I'd like to try some of their other drinks in the future! There's no street parking but there's a parking garage across the street.

    Not terrible but not great. Felt like it was a pretty limited menu and there were a number of things that they were sold out of when I went. Dropped by on a late afternoon mid-week. There was a conference happening nearby so the shop was pretty packed. There are two tablets to order from or you can order at the counter (if someone is available to help you). I really dislike the boba shops that rely mostly on tablet ordering because if you're not familiar with their menu and stop by on a whim, like I did, you feel pressured to rush through the menu so you're not holding up the line. About halfway through scrolling the menu, I was bored with the vast majority of the options and a couple of the drinks I wanted were sold out. The only other one that sounded genuinely appealing and interesting was the pistachio cloud jasmine, which they at least had in stock. Despite the large crowd standing around waiting, my drink came in less than ten minutes. It had a good nutty flavor and was the perfect amount of sweetness, nothing cloying. But you had to mix the pistachio foam into the drink if you wanted it to permeate the entire thing, otherwise it was just sitting on top and the drink didn't have any other pistachio flavoring. It was a good drink, but I wouldn't go out of my way to find a Heytea to order it again. No problems with this particular location, the staff were friendly and the drink was made well, I'm just not impressed by Heytea generally speaking and don't really have much desire to return or to seek out other locations.

    Nice tea shop. Loved that the guava green grape was not overly sweet. Incredibly packed with convention attendees but a nice break from the day's sessions. Convenient location. Qualified staff. Efficient processes. Allow your tea makers some time and you will be delighted with your drink!

    Guava white grape and mango coconut
    joyce l.

    Heard about HeyTea at a Yelp event this past weekend. Perfect timing because kids asked for it on our day out in the city. Super long wait, couldn't order online. But well worth it. The guava white grape was delicious, light and refreshing, great combination. Girls had the mango coconut which was yummy as well. Worth the wait!!

    Coconut Mango Blue, yum!
    Andrea Y.

    Wholy Moley! Where have you been my whole life? This drink was the bomb Coconut Mango Blue has my heart (mango, coconut milk + jelly, sago, jasmine tea and spirulina to make it BLUE! I'm addicted! Service was fast considering how many drinks they are making per hour (looked like alot). Clean storefront and you order from the kiosk.

    Sandy L.

    I love heytea!! Their mango coconut boom is so good! Tip is to order through the app 15 mins before since they tend to have a long queue. There's also coupons on the app to save $$. It's a grab and go but the interior is usually pretty clean, and super efficient.

    Bennette I.

    You must visit Heytea. I ordered the coconut mango boom slushie with less sugar and once shaken it was refreshing flavorful and delish! My son and I loved it! Price was over $8, self order and took about 8 minutes. Very minimalistic interior. One table for interior seating and no bathroom access.

    Kimberly W.

    Solid heytea chain The taste is consistent to other chains You order on a kiosk and your number is called out. Got my regular triple Matcha latte and it was great! Quick grab and go service. There's about four seats total inside. So not really a sit down drink shop, despite the store being pretty big.

    supreme brown sugar bobo milk tea
    Graschelle H.

    Be prepared for long wait times especially during weekends, but I understand the hype! The Coconut Mango Boom is truly sublime... so refreshing; great textures with the sago, fresh mango chunks, and coconut jelly; and the flavor is rich without being too sweet or artificial. Might be one of my favorite boba shop menu items of all time? oop I've also tried their Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea--the boba is so soft and delectable, definitely on the sweeter side compared to their other drinks but the cheese cream/foam balances it out well. Visited on a busy Friday afternoon and waited upward of 30-40 minutes. Ordering was quick on the kiosk, but I wish I ordered ahead to save more time! I recommend downloading the app for discounts, but more importantly, for the QR code feature to track how many more drinks are ahead of you/the estimated wait time that updates in real time. It's a small grab-and-go space, so that feature allowed me to kill time at YBG/Metreon without worrying about constantly checking if my drink is ready. Overall, wholeheartedly recommend for high quality drinks and it's definitely worth the wait if you have the time!

If you don't know what to pick or want recs don't be afraid to walk up and speak to one of the kind folks working the front cashier.

Came once before with my daughter that she insisted we come back before the end of summer and make sure we had her little brother with us this time (awww).

Prices are fair for what it is, ranges between $7.95-$9.95 depending on how many extras you want to include.

I don't normally drink a lot of boba, but vacations are for treating yourself, right? The crème brûlée milk tea was basically dessert in a cup. You could actually taste and chew on little bits of torched caramelized sugar throughout the drink. The boba itself was perfectly cooked, soft and chewy. And then there was pudding in there too! Every sip had me going "ooh" and "ahh" as I discovered another delicious texture. The only downside was that the drink only comes in one size, and it was a bit too much for me. I was genuinely sad that I couldn't finish it. That's one of the reasons I don't order boba very often. I can eat way more food than I can drink liquid for some reason.

We didn't have to wait in line to order, but all of the tables inside were packed. I was in need of something light and refreshing, so I decided to try the lychee IPA (non-alc). My drink was prepared promptly, and it immediately quenched my thirst. The lychee flavor tasted fresh, and its sweetness was tempered by the subtle hops flavor. The drink was also lightly carbonated with just the right amount of fizz. The menu wasn't as extensive as those of the larger, more established boba shops, and I wish there had been more fruit-flavored teas - especially for the summer. Nevertheless, I can't wait to try other tea varieties on my next visit.
