I've previously had HeyTea in their Bellevue location, so I expected more or less the same when I got to this one on a hot, sweaty Tuesday evening around 5:40pm. Because it was hot and sweaty, a big sea of people were waiting both outside and inside this place, and I saw only about 5 or so staff members making all the drinks. There's only two tables and two benches to sit at on the right-hand side of the place; otherwise, the rest of the space is behind the counter where all the drinks are made and the strong aromatic aroma of tea fills the interior. From my visit here, I think you can only place orders either through their lone kiosk to the left-hand side of the entrance near a corner, or by scanning the QR code at the front of the entrance and following prompts on your phone. Staff was too busy making drinks to take orders at the front counter when I was inside. Either way, you have to use the HeyTea app to scan a QR code (on the receipt you get after placing your order) if you want to see an estimate on when your drink(s) will be ready. By the time I signed up for an account and downloaded the app using the slow 5G, my estimated time was 25 minutes; however, the wait for my triple supreme matcha latte (with extra matcha, less sugar and all other things in their recommended settings) ended up being more than 45 minutes as I walked around the perimeter and waited inside and outside this location as well. It was really chaotic trying to get my drink once it was ready; people were cutting in front of me and others to show staff their receipt and pick up their orders even though I was in front of the line. Taste wise though, the matcha is a strong ceremonial blend with grassy tones that actually caught me by surprise. That's because they have a matcha cheese cloud which I thought would have dulled the matcha taste but it didn't! There's also matcha mochi and what tasted like matcha jelly on the bottom which further strengthened the earthy tones. Probably because it was really hot as of this writing, the ice melted much fasted than usual so that's out of this place's control and therefor doesn't detract from my experience itself. Wait here was really long for just one drink but I'm thankful there's something you can use to see when your drinks are ready - in this case, their HeyTea app. I would probably only come back if I was around the area, though wait times for drinks might deter me from doing so altogether. read more

I visited twice and tried two different drinks on separate days: the Mango Coconut Tea and the Pistachio Tea. Unfortunately, neither one was for me, but I can definitely see why they're popular with younger customers. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and very fast with preparing the drinks. The shop itself is quite small, so I wouldn't plan on staying to sit for long. read more

First time trying Heytea and it was incredible! We got the Golden Oolong Yuzu tea and the Grapefruit Coconut Mango Boom. I can't recommend both of these enough, and I would definitely order them again. Recommend starting with light sweetness, it was the perfect ratio. There are a few counter seats and a bench inside, but that's about it. You'll want to take it to-go. The wait time after ordering is quite long at this location, so be prepared for that. read more

The teenagers behind the counters are not doing their job. They don't even call out the numbers so by the time you go ask them if your drink is done, your drinks have been sitting on the counter and are completely melted. $7 for a water down, melted drink? read more

I LOVE HEYTEA! Honestly I've been here more times than I can count. The drinks are consistently good, and it's definitely one of my go to spots. My only wish is that they could improve the pick up area!! It's almost always crowded and feels a bit disorganized. Bc the space is small, there isn't much room to stand, and it's easy to get mixed up between the ordering line and the pick up. I often find myself having to ask the person in front of me whether they've already ordered or if they're waiting to pick up. Thats all I just hope the layout or flow can be improved to make the experience smoother. read more

I absolutely love how pretty and delicious their drinks are -- they're both aesthetically pleasing and super tasty. I'll usually stop by whenever I'm nearby and not in a rush. The shop is very small and tends to get crowded quickly. I can see there are quite a few staff members working in both the front and back, but it can still take 25+ minutes to get a drink at times. I'm also not a big fan of having to install an app to track the drink status or constantly watch the monitor on the wall for updates. Even when the drinks are ready, you still have to wait for an employee to be available to hand them to you since customers aren't allowed to grab them from the counter. Overall, I enjoy their drinks, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. read more

Yummy teas! For milk teas with boba to their nice refreshing fruit drinks! You can order in line which is best because there is always a line. So you know it's good! read more

HeyTea has basically become my new little obsession anytime I'm in SLU. Use the app to order ahead do not wait in that line to place an order. This place is packed every single time I'm here! If you come during the rush (right after work or around lunchtime), expect to wait about 15-20 minutes. Bring a little patience it's worth it. My favorites are the Mango Coconut Blue and the Kale Boost Tea. I've tried both the caffeine and non-caffeine versions of the Kale Boost Tea, and I actually prefer it without the jasmine tea. The drinks taste so fresh and natural, no artificial anything. The team making the drinks is always super friendly, even though they always look understandably overwhelmed by the sheer volume of orders. This isn't really a place to hang out seating is limited and most people end up waiting outside because it's always so crowded . Pick-up can get a little chaotic and confusing with the number of drinks coming out, but just keep an eye on your number on the monitor. And yes, it's sometimes hard to see your number because there's so many numbers on the monitor. And if you're in the area for a workout this is hands-down my favorite post-workout treat. For $7-$8, these drinks are absolutely worth it every single time. read more

Stopped by the SLU location to grab some drinks. We got the Triple Supreme Matcha Latte and the Coconut Mango Boom. As usual the quality was super good. The mango is fresh and pairs well with the coconut. The matcha mochi in the latte is easily the best part. You can't go wrong with either of those drinks, especially if you are a matcha lover. The only reason I'm knocking a star off is the rewards system. I had points expiring the next day that I wanted to use, but you can only redeem them on mobile orders. Since they had turned off online ordering while I was there, I couldn't use them and basically just lost the points. Love the drinks but that policy could use some tweaking. read more

Heytea - Triple Supreme Matcha Latte and Coconut Mango Boom - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pretty good fruit tea! I went here after grabbing sushi in SLU, and it's a small store with a small amount of seating inside, but mostly for grab and go. There's a little shelter close-ish outside the store, if it's packed inside and drizzling outside. Order ahead via the app, otherwise it gets crowded with the order counter only having one terminal. Pick-up is done via call out of your order number, and the drinks are placed on numbers on the counter matching your order number. Straws are close by. This spot was a bit more chaotic on staff calling out orders and a few customers were crowded by the counter and grumpy their drink had been sitting there for a while and not called out. They did fly through orders though and it looked more like an issue with getting the drinks into customer hands rather than making the drinks themselves. I've been to HEYTEA a few times, and have dialed in that they're great for their fruit teas. I got a Cloud Green Grape this time, which was a hit. Very refreshing and sweet. Would recommend sticking to their fruit teas if you come to HEYTEA. read more

One of my favorite milk tea, drink spots in Seattle. When I'm craving a sweet treat, this is where I come. The service is really slow, but that's because of how busy it is all the time. I tried out their new coconut drinks and it's super refreshing. I love the coconut jelly and the lightness of the coconut milk paired with the Matcha foam. It didn't feel heavy and it was great as a little pick me up in the afternoon or something you have after dinner. I definitely recommend checking out their mango, boom or grape boom those two are my favorite. There isn't that many places to sit since the place is pretty small, but the smell of this place is so good. I love it. read more

Everything at HeyTea is a hit!! My favorite boba place in the area. Their fruit drinks are super refreshing and unique; the coconut mango boom has mango in it and the sago adds a nice texture. I got the less sweet and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. Their jasmine tea is also really good, it has a strong tea flavor which I appreciate.. and paired with their boba? Amazing. Their boba is soft and chewy which should be a standard at all boba places but most seem to miss. Overall i feel like HeyTea has a drink for any type of craving. You can order through the app to beat the line, but if it's busy they'll close online ordering. You can check the progress of your drink on the app and it'll also give you an eta on when your drink will be done. read more

this was my second time getting heytea and it was very delicious as expected. i'm a sucker for mango so i had to try the cloud mango. it had little bits of mango at the bottom and the amount of sweetness was perfect for me! i would recommend ordering on the app before you arrive because the wait can be pretty long. you can also keep an eye on your drink after it's made and ask for no bag so that you don't have to wait for them to pack it up. the space is very small so it gets crowded easily, but there's a screen with order numbers to keep track of your order. read more

I love love heytea the quality and flavors of their drinks are so good. You can tell in general there is a lot of thought and effort that goes into it, from the packaging of the cup to the actual ingredients that go in it. It is always busy in store so I would recommend ordering store pick-up for a quick trip. I wouldn't expect much service because it's always busy, especially during any events, but if you go during the week during hours where everyone's working it'll probably be fine . The SLU location has some seats available in-store but it's quite a small store. read more

The service is quick, still I'll def be coming back! read more

Came to this place because a friend of mine wanted to go and wanted to try the Matcha. I learned the Matcha you cannot change out the milk, so I asked them to recommend something else and was recommended to try the cloud coconut blue. I got it with regular sugar. It taste amazing! You get real coconut milk with the coconut jelly and the Matcha is top shelf! Service took the right amount of time, it wasn't super quick, but it didn't take very long. There is a very limited seating, most people just stand outside and wait for their order to be called. The cashier was nice and knowledgeable and helped me pick my drink, which I appreciated. My recommendation would be to allow for maybe some outdoor seating since indoor seating isn't an option, this is a place where I would want to sit and have a tea date with a friend. read more

I went at odd hour since this place is always busy! The menu looks good, little bit pricy - more than I prefer for tea. I got the jasmine matcha tea. It was delicious.

This shop was busy!! there were like 10 orders ahead of ours, but they were flying through orders, so we didn't have to wait long which is a major plus. I got the coconut mango boom which was delicious!! Tasted like the drink version of mango sago and it was PERFECT for a hot Seattle afternoon. They were ok with removing the jelly (since it was made with gelatin) and adjusting sweetness. The shop is pretty small, one long bench and four stools for sitting by the window, so don't recommend planning to hang out inside. read more

So excited I got to try heytea! I had to wait a few minutes for my drink, but they were really working through a lot of orders! I got the coconut mango bloom with less sugar and less ice. This drink was really good! I would have loved it more if it had even stronger mango flavor. The drinks are a bit pricy, but I think it's worth it for a nice treat. I look forward to trying their other drinks! read more

Finally got to try out this Heytea location after all the giant crowds died down! I got the guava green grape drink which was super refreshing and satisfying on a hot day. The guava tasted fresh, though I did think it could've used a tad more flavor. We didn't have to wait too long in total which was also nice! read more

I get the hype! I ordered the mango grapefruit boom (mango, grapefruit pulp, sago, coconut milk jelly) with no tea and 30% sugar on a Tuesday afternoon, which had a modest line but not going out the door. The drink had so much going on and reminded me of che. It's so perfect for that Seattle summer walk along the water, sipping your mango boba to keep you refreshed. Star off for the price (~$10 after tip) and the layout of the shop. The shop itself is very small and not always intuitive where the end of the line is when you're on the inside. There's a screen which shows the order number and the status they're in but it's hard to hear when your number is called out so I just checked in at the bar when it felt like I had been waiting enough time appropriate for how busy it was. read more

Stopped by HEYTEA at their SLU location and it did not disappoint! Their fruit teas are super refreshing especially on a warm day. They use high quality teas and real fruit which makes them stand out from the other bubble tea places. My favorite drink so far would have to be their yum berry as it's a little tart, not too sweet and kind of reminds me of a raspberry. Their mango drinks are also a good option if you're looking for a more creamy consistency drink vs slush consistency. The line can get pretty long so I would recommend ordering ahead on their app or coming on a slower day. read more

Their boba was soft and flavorful. I ordered the brown sugar bobo milk tea and didn't adjust the sweetness since the cashier mentioned their drinks were on the less sweet side.

I've tried Heytea in China a few times, and this was the first location I've been in the US. This store is tiny, and the floral smell inside is overwhelming. The line was shorter than I expected on a Saturday after dinner, but it was so disorganized because people were having a hard time figuring out what to order. I didn't see any menu until I got to the register to order. I tried to use the app to order, and was told that online ordering is only open when the store is not busy. The wait isn't bad - we waited about 10 minutes to order, and got our drinks about 5 minutes after ordering. We tried the Brown Sugar Bobo Milk tea and the Cloud Crisp Grape. Boba here is great 5/5 stars, especially when the drink first comes out. It has the perfect chewiness, though I prefer it a little sweeter. Cloud Crisp Grape is a refreshing drink, but the grape bits in the drink is quite sour. Overall, I give the drinks 4/5 stars, but the entire experience gets 3/5 stars at most. read more

Heytea - Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea $7.99 (left) and Cloud Crisp Grape - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seattle, Washington

They ran out of ice, which took them 45 minutes to get, just for them to take another 10 minutes to make the drink that I should've gotten immediately since I was next up. Just for them to say they ran out of lids (which they should've been looking for while they were sitting waiting for ice). The girl who said she'd help get my drink just disappeared in the back while someone else gave me a lid. Overall poor communication - they didn't tell people that their order wouldn't be fulfilled unless they came up and asked what was taking so long. The drinks taste good I just wish the workers were better at communicating instead of shying away. read more

I liked this location more than the Bellevue one mostly because it's bigger and not weirdly humid inside. I ordered a Triple Matcha Supreme which was smooth and not grainy. The wait takes a while though because they focus more on fulfilling online orders. read more

I've had HeyTea before but was never as impressed as my visit here in the South Lake Union location. Granted that it's fairly new, the hype is still there, so I went there across 3 occasions - 1st time the line was a block long so I didn't bother, 2nd time I can't online order so I walked in person and the kiosk says 88 drinks ahead / 57 min wait so I didn't bother, 3rd time I finally could place an online order with a 25 min wait. I have the luxury to just cross the street and a block and be there, so it can be dangerous for my diet. I got the Cloud Crisp Grape (Crisp Grape Boom + cheese cloud) and Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea. On the app, first orders are 15% off so these 2 drinks hurt my wallet just a tid but less. Cloud crisp grape is a grape juice + jasmine tea drink with small grape pieces that act like boba at the bottom. I don't go for fruit teas usually but since this is one of the more popular drinks, I had to check the hype. It's really floral and good. Supreme brown sugar bobo milk tea is pretty good too. The tea is very apparent here - way more so than many other boba shops. Lowkey I shouldn't drink this past 5pm since the strength of flavor is because the strength of the tea is fairly high. I couldn't sleep until 3am haha. But it's so delicious. The boba is average - a bit on the softer side. It's crazy long waits for what boba is worth generally (aside from Chicha, which I give them credit for their nice quality drinks too) and quite pricy ($8+ before tax) so this will be a very occasional visit, despite it being 2 min walk away from my apartment. read more

Came by today with a friend for the first time near the end of their opening hours and a lot of their menu was sold out, so if you are coming to get some of the non boba milk tea stuff I suggest coming a fair bit before closing hours - they're popular! Tea tasted good and it came out relatively quickly. Happy with the service even though it's a shame that boba these days costs almost just as much as an entire Chipotle bowl. Hit the spot though! read more

went on the bogo day for the grape cloud drink in the middle of the day, and i don't think ive seen anything as disorganized as this. most of the workers didnt know what was going on, and didnt call out the numbers. wait an HOUR for a slushy (it was mid). it took so long that me and my roommate ordered chipotle, went to pick it up, ate it, and still waited 20 minutes for the TWO drinks i ordered to be done. the service is great when it's not busy but they put the worst person on serving when the line is out the door. saw two people leave after they saw rhe service going on. also noticed that one of the workers told the girl at the register to not tell customers the wait time until after they ordered (it was an hour). read more

Went here after work since it's super close walk. It was very crowded around 5:30ish and the place is just super small in general. Most people standing around to the side and outside as well. You order at the front and then you have to wait until you see your number on the screen saying that it's done (don't forget to show them your receipt). It's a bit hard to see if your order is ready if you're on the side with the little seating they have. I was a bit disappointed with the green grape boom since I loved the mango grapefruit boom in NYC. I was looking forward to getting Heytea again because their tea is super strongly flavored and the drinks are very light. I think I just didn't taste too much grape and my friend also tried it and didn't like it. Not sure if it's just because the location is super packed, but maybe the mango grapefruit boom is still worth a try if you go here. read more

Dam 30+ min wait for boba is crazy, granted the quality is consistent across the board. The boba itself however was more disappointing than me after a 6 pack of beer. Coconut mango hit weaker than my newborn cousin. Taste was mid and wait was way too long they gotta get a better system. Bulk not approved. Long story if you're interested. They messed up my drink so they had it remade. But it took an extra 15 mins and the cashier and barista weren't communicating with each other on the progress. So only after i asked again did they communicate and my drink had been remade and was just waiting on the counter. Prob ain't coming back plus mango wasn't that sweet. read more

I'm glad that there's more boba options in downtown Seattle! I got the brown sugar milk tea and the grapefruit bloom. The boba is soft and good! The grapefruit bloom (fruit tea) tasted very fresh, and I would get this again! The milk tea was okay, not my favorite but good enough. Order ahead if you can, but sometimes they don't have the online orders available because they're focusing on the customers that are physically in the store front. Service: Long line (like a twenty minute wait, then an additional 20 minute wait), but very friendly service! Parking: It's downtown so not super convenient nor free (unless it's holiday / outside a certain time period). Parking is free on weekends at the Amazon building (but you have to walk a bit - not a very long walk) read more

As someone who lives in SLU, I'm happy about another good boba place! Line was long (peril of going one week after opening), and they take a bit of time to make each drink, but I had no qualms with the final product! They use real tea, which is obvious from the fragrance as soon as you enter the store. They have a small menu at the cashier, and screens telling you when you've ordered and when the drink is ready. My milk tea was great. Not overly sweet, and the boba was a great, soft consistency and had a really nice brown sugar flavor. Each drink is quite big, and is a tad pricey, over $8 for every drink (including tax). That being said, I'll be back! Especially when hype dies down, there's a really nice outdoor seating area, and the inside seating area is shockingly spacious. read more
