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!

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

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 :)

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

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.

Pistachio Jasmine
Sahithi B.

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.

Super busy

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.

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!

THE BIG: Located in Downtown SF on the 4th street side of the Metreon. Simple and clean interior with the cute avatar drinking boba. Street/garage parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: We were on our post dinner walk and saw that HeyTea was one of the spots still open before 8pm. Fortunately we made it in time. Menu isn't too expansive but all the items sounded great. I ended up going with the fluffy cloud mango and let me tell you. WOW. Best mango drink I've ever had. The blend of the jasmine green tea and the sweetest/ripest mangos along with the cheese cloud on top. I slurped that thing down super quick. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Spent around $10 for this one boba tea. Worth it? Definitely yes. Great tea and easy vibes. I'll be back to try more items on the menu.

One of my favorite boba spots! I've been loyal to Urban Tea Ritual since 2019 and back when they…read morehad their first location in SF. 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 :)

I know this was a highly rated boba place and my sister even spoke good things of it, and I had…read morehigh hopes for it... but in the end it fell short. The line was long, waited about 10 minutes for the ordering system, because it's by machine now. Then waited another 15 minutes for the drinks. There were a bunch of teeny boppers in front of me ordering drinks (6-8ish), so it took a bit. I ordered a house milk tea with 25% sugar. Honestly it just tasted like ash. No creamy tasting like other boba places. Not sure what their house cream was but it wasn't creamy or rich in flavor. Big disappointment. My husband got the crème brulee milk tea and that tasted even worst. It just tasted like bitter burnt pudding. Some sweetness once you get pass the pudding. Not sure who made the drinks but it was not good. The boba however was nice and soft. Not sure if it's the day or the rush of hella orders, but I normally judge a boba place by their basic milk tea and that day it was not good. And maybe that's not what to order? Not sure. But willing to try again on another time.

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. You order off an ipad and wait for your order, pretty typical of most shops nowadays. I remember there being a short line as well, so it seems they are a busy boba shop! 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!

Ordering is through the kiosk off to the side, so not much service. There was one employee working who just kept giving us mean glares for an unknown reason. It is a small shop, so there is not much room to hang out inside either. I ordered their Jasmine Milk Green Tea with boba. 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. My friends who are not that picky with boba tried it too and did not like it at all. We only took a few sips before tossing it.

Ambiance: Matcha Cafe Maiko is one of a few tea shops…read morespecializing in Matcha flavored drinks and desserts in Japantown. There is no seating located in this particular cafe but plenty of outdoor seating directly outside. The general area can be pretty crowded due to the other store fronts within the mall so if you want a more relaxed matcha tea shop to do work or relax it would be better to order and then leave. Service: They have both a kiosk and a barista taking orders. Staff were friendly and working efficiently and quickly to fill the orders as they were being placed. Wait time: Generally depends on when you go since Japantown mall is a heavily toured area by locals and visitors to the Bay Area but I'd say roughly 10-15 minutes max from standing in line to receiving your drink. Food: The matcha ice cream has a deep matcha flavor with a nice concentration of powder which can be tasted in the soft serve. They also top the soft serve with a light dusting of matcha powder to further enhance the flavors. The cone was soft and light with a gentle sweetness that pairs really well against with the earthiness of the matcha.

Everything from Matcha Cafe Maiko is special. Ironically,…read morefor some mysterious reason, I don't actually like matcha, which feels like a personal failing every time I walk in. Luckily, their other tea offerings are just as good, so I never feel left out. The black sesame latte is a longtime favorite, but today I went with the hojicha frappe and it was excellent. It's not as creamy as, say, a Frappuccino, and the ice crystals are a little larger, but honestly that works in its favor because the roasted hojicha flavor comes through so much more clearly. Deep, toasty, and not overly sweet. Their sundaes are also ridiculously fun, loaded with all kinds of bouncy, chewy little goodies that make your dessert an activity rather than just a course.
