Pretty good overall and definitely worth the hype which is why I go back from time to time. There is a long wait but if you plan ahead it works out well in the app. I get the Mango boom its pretty bomb the kale is great too. The staff are very quick to make the drinks despite the massive volume. The location gets crowded but there is plenty of places to sit and wait or even enjoy. The atmosphere is always a calm chaos.
Heytea is clearly one of the most popular boba shops around. The interior is clean and minimal, and it was packed with Gen Z customers when we visited. One thing that caught me off guard was the ordering process. There isn't a large menu displayed behind the counter--just a menu next to the self-order kiosks. Since it was our first visit, it took us a while to decide what to order. Thankfully there were two kiosks, so we didn't hold up the line too much. I ordered the Mango Grapefruit Boom. It was refreshing, fruity, and perfect for a warm day, though I wish the grapefruit flavor had been a little more pronounced. My friend got the Brown Sugar Boba, and the creamy foam on top was the highlight. Both drinks were noticeably less sweet than the typical boba shop, which we really appreciated.
This review is more for the not a margarita drink and also the way it was served. We ordered two not a margaritas and asked for take out since we were in a rush. I arrive and was quite confused as to why they werent lidded and not in a bag. I asked for lids and a bag and they slowly made their way over. They seemed to be very confused as to why I was asking those things when I had requested them to go in the app. Anywho, the not a margarita had a bunch of syrups in it and tasted all right. It was extremely sweet and not my cup of tea. I would not get this drink again.
Ah, another Heytea location. Located in the Cherry Orchard Shopping Center, close to Sourdough Co, Trader Joe's, etc. My friend told me about the Kale Boost Tea which I will try next time. I got my usual, Coconut Mango Boom: freshly cut mango blended with coconut milk, complimented by freshly cooked handcrafted sago and coconut jelly (4/5). Ah, refreshing as always. The service was fairly quick here, which was uncommon. LOL.
Been coming to Heytea quite a few times now in the last month. Normal go to orders are: jasmine green tea with boba mango grapefruit boom Drinks overall, quality and consistency here are better than the Cupertino location. Staff is more efficient for sure. Annoying to order with the kiosk...but if able, you can order through the app as well. During promos, you need to order with staff directly, but if you don't want the promo, you can order on the kiosk directly. Limited seating inside. Parking lot is absolutely atrocious in the area.
This place is clearly popular, so expect longer wait times and limited seating, especially during busy hours. Ordering ahead for pickup is probably the best way to go if you're in a hurry. That said, the boba here is absolutely worth it. The drinks are flavorful, refreshing, and consistently good. The ambience is also incredibly cute and inviting, with a fun vibe that makes the place feel lively and trendy. Even with the crowds, it's still a spot I'd happily come back to for another drink.
This place is located in the busy Trader Joe's complex. You can order at the kiosk or scan to order online Ordered the cloud mango which comes topped with cheese foam. Really tasty with real mango pulp/chunks
First time trying this boba shop! I really wanted the Mulberry, but I think it's seasonal since they had a grape special instead. I went with the mango and it was delicious! They are also well staffed and the drinks come out quick!
I got the mango coconut blue without sago since i dont like sago. The drink at first sips without stirring was good and the mango/coconut pudding was very flavorful. However when i mixed the blue thing with the mango liquid, it turned so tasteless and felt like i just wasted 9 dollars on this drink. Not only did it taste like nothing, but it was also a flavor that didnt even taste edible, just some kind of mango skin stock or something i dont even know. Dont get this drink.
I had a much better experience this time. I ordered online and got my drink after shopping at Trader Joe for about 15 minutes. The store is nice and clean. Service was fine this time with no BOGO free offer lol, so it wasn't crowded. My friend and I sat outside and enjoyed our drink. A perfect sunny day to sip my pistachio coconut jasmine tea drink before headed back to work. I was able to come get a drink and pick up lunch all within one hour to make it back to work for a meeting. Happy customer.
Seasonal guava drinks are on point! The King jasmine guava and guava green grape drinks offer a spin on some of their delicious grape and jasmine staples. Go get yours.
Visiting from out of town and first time trying Heytea. Got Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk and Mango Grapefruit Boom. Everything was fresh and tasty!! The "bobo" (as opposed to "boba") was delicious! It was sooooooooo busy!! They were cranking so many drinks out! Looked like you could order ahead or at the kiosk. It was bright and lively in the place. Even the drink carrier is well thought out. A cool looking paper bag with a folded drink holder placed inside it so it doesn't fall over. Genius. There are tons of boba places everywhere. I don't know how they all survive, but this one definitely doesn't look like it's struggling. Would definitely come back!
Bright and flavorful drinks. The mango grapefruit boom is like a dessert in a cup, with sago and coconut milk jelly. Lots of ingredients. The fruits are delicious, especially the mango bits. Refreshing and creamy. Their cloud longjing milk tea is also really good, deep flavor in the milk tea and paired with a creamy matcha cloud. The flavors blended well together. For toppings, their boba is nice and chewy. The cheese foam is smooth and rich. The packaging is good as well, the bags hold the drinks very safely and are great for reusing. Whether you get milk tea or the fruit tea from here, I think they're both excellent choices. Some fruit teas run kinda sweet though, and some milk teas I find to be lighter in taste. (I wasn't a huge fan of the king jasmine or the grapefruit boom).

What can I say? Heytea consistently hits the spot. Beware of the long lines! On weekends, you're looking at a solid 30-minute wait read more

We rolled up on a Saturday afternoon after pounding a buncha beers at a buncha different places, which is really the best way to be spending any Saturday, amirite?! Yeah. Duh. Cuz when you start your day out right, you end up ending your day right, and that's just the way to things. So we were at this Pawlentines Event in downtown San Jo, which was a cute little event where you can adopt pets, or buy a buncha nonsense for your furry little babies, which we did, and it was great. You never know how good your little monkeys are until you see them next to a buncha other little monkeys, and it turns out, I am actually a freaking great doggy daddy, ain't that some s***?! ^____^ Watching all those other little hellions running around, poopin' all over the place and then not even bothering to clean it up. Don't get me wrong, I'm from the Valley, son, so I could care less about picking up after an animal when you're out in nature, but on the sidewalk where there are a bunch of people? Were you raised by wolves? And then did you get a discounted lobotomy? I told you! Don't get your lobotomy from Tijuana! Nothing good ever comes from that. It's been interesting watching the fall of society, but alas, what can we do? read more

First Heytea location I tried. So yummy and delicious. I love Heytea. Tried Mango Grapefruit Boom and Cloud Crisp Grape or Crisp Boom Grape. I liked Mango Grapefruit Boom a lot more. read more
Heytea is situated in the busy shopping center that has a Trader Joes, Starbucks, Sweet Greens, and a few other businesses, making it pretty busy and sometimes hard to find parking. However, this location is really efficient and even with a million orders constantly coming in, the wait isn't too long. The shop is nice and bright and usually really clean. The staff is friendly and knowledgable about the menu. We ordered our 4 drinks at the counter and it was ready within just a few minutes. Although they lean on the pricier side, I haven't been disappointed with my drink yet! read more
CLEAN, FRESH, ALL NATURAL! Sound familiar? This tagline not only brands makeup shops worldwide but now has come to milk tea stores. Welcoming the new wave of milk tea! What truly impresses me with heytea is its concept - no artificial flavors, no artificial creamers, no bs. This very concept is reflected through its menu and interior with a clean and white simplistic design. Heytea prides itself on using ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS with some drinks as low as 40 calories (recommend downloading the app to check calorie count). The prices are somewhat on the steeper end with the average drink costing ~$7.5. Heytea can get quite popular at peak times but out of the few times I've gone, I haven't had to wait longer than 20 minutes for the whole transaction. Moving onto the drinks, I am a HUGE FAN of their coconut mango boom. I don't think I've been to another milk tea store with a similar drink. Their matcha jasmine latte is a very strong go-to of mine as well. Their cloud jasmine tea and strawberry boom are good but I've had similar at other milk tea stores. All in all, despite the many many boba spots in South Bay, Heytea has made it onto my regular rotation list for milk tea shops read more

I am a huge fan of this place. There are many tea houses everywhere and almost every one of them are all the same. This one stick out to me because the feel and aesthetics are just different here. It's so clean and spotless here. It's bright, the walls are all shiny white, and the smell of tea leaves are in the air. They have your typical pearl teas, fruit teas, and matcha teas. We ordered their brown sugar pearl milk tea with this cheesy salt cloud. Our tea was hot, creamy, and full of richness. You can definitely taste the brown sugar in this. The cheesy foam is excellent and compliments the flavors. The black tea is premium, and you can taste it clearly. I also love the top lids on their drinks; it rotates left and right to open up for the straw or your mouth. The black pearls are thick and steaming hot which is delicious. I want to come back and try their mango-grapefruit tea; They informed me that this is their most popular drink. My wife and I are huge fans and will come back soon! read more
Second time coming here after their grand opening. I came 10 minutes before they opened on a Tuesday and was told I could order through the app in advance, but the app didn't allow me to order until 11am (opening time). Even though I ordered in the app at opening, I still waited 20 minutes for two drinks. Wondering if it would've been faster for me to just order in person instead since I was there. Cloud Matcha Latte - wow! The drink tasted divine. Smooth, not bitter, great matcha, and cheese foam perfection. I opted for minimal sweet and it was the perfect sweetness. The cloud (cheese foam) was super delicious and adds a nice touch of saltiness to the sweetness which I think elevated the drink even more as the flavors mixed. Bobo Milk Tea - The tea taste wasn't as strong as I prefer (I still think TP Tea is best), but their brown sugar boba is good. Minimal sweet with the brown sugar boba was the perfect amount of sweetness for me too. Boba is chewy and not too sweet. Heytea overall seems to serve high quality drinks but at higher price, so I may opt for boba elsewhere unless I go with friends. I'd get their matcha drink again! If you download their app, you'll get a 15% off coupon. You can also accumulate points/rewards for your purchases. I'd recommend ordering in advance on the app so you won't have to wait as long. Even on a weekday and ordering right at opening required waiting 20 minutes, hence I'm deducting one star. Hopefully, the wait time improves in the future. read more
Came on a Thursday 5pm. It was busy, but the line wasn't long and it was a short wait. Their app is finally working, so yay. Nice, clean interior. It's roomy enough to sit and catch up with friends. I ordered the grapefruit boom because I'm a sucker for slushies. I like that they use real fruits, so I could chew on the grapefruit pulp. The slushie consistency is smooth and light. I do wish they had small straws though so I could drink slower. There's a pick up area, but it's not meant for self pickup. I had to put my drink back while I dug through the app to show the order number (the worker held the drink close to her for protection after I put it back). Checking the number is understandable, but there is definitely room for improvement about how it was handled. Now my core memory of Heytea is "I got scolded there". I picked up my drink because my number was facing me and there were only one other drink ready for pick up. She didn't yell at me and wasn't mean, but I guess I'm a snowflake, so I felt like I was scolded. I've never felt like that when other places asked to see my receipts though. However, they've also never asked me to give the drink back while I show them the receipt. Edit: I realized that's because they need to scan the drink first read more
This boba shop has been one of the more popular spots as of late with lines stretching all the way out of the store. From what I've heard, HeyTea one of the most popular boba tea shops in China and they recently opened many shops in the Bay Area. My experience was good, but I would probably only go here if the line wasn't too long. Both of my drinks were good and had great tea flavor. If you like stronger tea flavor, you will like these drinks. I would say the boba flavor kind of overpowered the drink too much, but the texture was good. Prices are a bit on the higher side for the size you get here. read more
A Modern Boba Spot! Since there's a supermarket nearby, the parking lot was pretty crowded. Inside, the shop was lively with lots of people, and you could immediately smell the aroma of tea! This store has its own app, and if you download it, you get a 15% off welcome coupon. There's also a reward system, which is great for regular customers. Compared to other places, they seem to have a wider variety of fruit teas! This time, I ordered the Cold Coconut Blue, which was creamy and had a really cute presentation:) read more
Busy on a Saturday evening but line moves pretty quickly. Parking lot can be quite chaotic since it shares the same plaza with Trader Joe's. Store layout/line situation isn't that great, especially when crowded. People were squeezing past each other to get their drinks but had to walk between the narrow path between the line and the cashier. The people ordering at the cashier had to constantly move to let the people getting their drinks pass. I got the coconut mango boom and it was great! I'd rate this drink 5/5. It was refreshing, creamy, and I loved the sago. I tried some of the cloud matcha latte and I'd rate this one 4/5. The cream on top is very thick which I liked, but the latte itself needed more matcha flavor in my opinion. read more
I've been seeing their in season Coconut Matcha Boba over social media and finally got to try it. I ordered through their app, and the drink was ready by the time I arrived. The store is near the entrance of the plaza and has some seatings with a minimalistic style. The drink has a pretty appearance and a nice balance between matcha and coconut flavor. The matcha foam and matcha layer are strong by themselves, but the coconut layer and jellies make the drink less heavy and less bitter as I mix them. The boba also has a chewy and soft texture. Overall, I liked the drink. read more

HeyTea is Bay Area's latest and greatest tea shop with its opening met with significant fanfare and long lines. Although new(ish) to northern California, HeyTea is actually a well-established chain with multiple locations in New York, Los Angeles, and even around the globe in the UK, Australia, and Malaysia. HeyTea was first founded in 2012 born from the desire to revitalize tea culture with high-quality ingredients and unique flavors. With a slogan like "Drive Quality, Spark Joy", HeyTea definitely aims high to offer great tasting drinks that everyone can enjoy. As with all new and shiny tea shops, HeyTea opened to long lines of adoring fans wanting to take a sip of their creations. The interior of the store is very clean and very aesthetic, although there isn't a ton of seating inside so you're probably better off taking your drink to-go. I highly recommend ordering from their app and to pick-up in store to cut down on the long wait times (both for ordering and pick-up). We placed our order on their app, and had an estimated wait time of 23 minutes until pick-up - a little on the longer side, but still reasonable enough. In the store they have a screen up on the left hand side that displays the order numbers that are in progress and ready for pick-up. Once ready, all you need to do is go up to the counter, present them with your order number, and then you'll have your drink(s) in hand in no time at all. We went with their (1) crisp grape boom (which is easily my favorite drink of theirs now), (2) strawberry mulberry boom (a second favorite), (3) mango grapefruit boom (a good old classic), and (4) supreme brown sugar milk tea (something a little more familiar to the masses). The crisp grape boom is a showstopper - whenver I think of grape, my mind instantly goes to those sickly sweet yet bitter cold syrups of my childhood and the inner child in me still shivers at the thought of drinking those down. With that in mind, grape is not usually a flavor that I find myself partial to; however, this drink might just make me change my mind. Their crisp grape boom is refreshing, flavorful, and not too sweet! Imagine biting into a sweet bunch of grapes, and HeyTea has essentially captured that taste and feeling into a drink! The mango grapefruit boom is reminiscent of any good mango grapefruit sago drink, and an instant favorite of mine. The mulberry strawberry boom was very unique, and I will note that mulberry is probably an acquired taste - it's sweet and tart, with a slightly grassy taste (that took me a bit to get used to and enjoy). Last, but not least, the supreme brown sugar milk tea is a great choice for someone looking for a solid milk tea option amongst all the fruit offerings. If you're wondering if HeyTea is worth the excitement, then I'm happy to share that it is! Whether you plan to go in the next few weeks or the next few months (when hopefully the lines die down a bit), you'll always be in for a treat at HeyTea! read more
Located in Sunnyvale, parking is plentiful but availability is quite limited. The interior is clean and super fragrant. It was quite busy. Due to the busyness of the store, it's highly recommended to order online. Coconut mango boom (5/5): so yummy. The texture was good. I was expecting it to be more slushy-like though. Nonetheless the coconut and mango mix was delicious. Sweetness and texture were good. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Heytea's drink are so yummy. The line is usually quite lengthy so would recommend to order through their app. read more
Okkk the hype is real here! The mango grapefruit and mango coconut are the best drinks here!! Chunks of mango jelly & sago in every sips. This place is always super packed, so expect a long wait for your drink (it's so worth it though!!) Cute little vibey place with a ton of workers fulfilling orders! read more
I was unsure about HeyTea at first since their prices are higher than most places and I'm not a big fan of slush. But this place had me really pleasantly surprised. The slushy fruit tea isn't too icy, and the sweetness was just perfect (I got less sugar). I love how you're hit with the floral tea aroma when you walk in. I'm also a big fan of green grape and really enjoyed the chunks of grape in the drink, they tasted crisp and fresh. It would have been nice to have my name called when my drink is ready, but they are so busy and have a screen that shows the numbers, so can't complain too much there. I've ordered fruit tea from a lot of places around the Bay and HeyTea's fruit teas are definitely in the top 5. read more
Drink 4.5/5 The drink is exactly like how it's pictured and advertised, grape slushie with cheese foam. Overall, the drink is well balanced and I would say on the sweeter side, so make sure to get minimal sweetness or less. Tbh, I think this is a drink you could make at home with some grapes and ice, the hint of tea is very subtle. Not your boba place if you're looking for strong tea flavors, but a good spot if you're looking for refreshing fruit drinks! Service 4.5/5 Went on a Monday lunch and ordered online and it was ready within 10 minutes. Pick-up was smooth and they'll scan your drink when you pick it up. Sometimes, online order is unavailable when it gets packed so I would suggest going at non-rush hours. Ambiance 4.5/5 The overall sit-down area looks clean and simple, which I appreciate. I also like the overall beige/gray/yellow color scheme that makes the store look minimal. Considering the crowd, it may be best to just pick up your drinks and enjoy it somewhere else. read more
Somewhat recently opened location of Heytea! Excited to see Heytea opening multiple locations across the bay! I will say the long lines and wait times have dropped a bit since their initial opening so now might not be a bad time to give it a try if you've been waiting! ~Ordering Process~ We ordered in-store. The line to order in the store was actually not very long! Most of the people in the store seemed to be waiting for their order, so I'm assuming a lot of them ordered ahead of time via their app. We'll probably do so in the future! They have a little TV screen at the back of their store that shows if your order # is "in-progress" or "ready for pickup". We waited about 10 minutes (maybe less time?) to order our drink and maybe another 15minutes to get our order on a Sunday early afternoon. ~Parking~ Parking can be a bit challenging at times during weekends with this location being in a popular mall with trader joes and such, but usually you should be able to find parking with little to no problem! ~Pricing~ Each drink is priced around $7-$8, which I think is pretty reasonable for a premium boba shop. ~The Drinks~ Mango Coconut Boom (customized Less Ice, Less Sweet): SO good. You can never go wrong mixing coconut and mango. This drink comes with sago and coconut jelly, so we didn't order any add-ons (like boba). This drink is not too sweet, refreshing, but also the creaminess that the coconut milk part adds is so good. Highly recommend! read more

I got a boba milk tea and a cheese cloud matcha. The boba has the perfect qq texture, goes so well with the aromatic milk tea . The cloud cheese matcha is just like its name, the creamy cheese pairs perfectly with the matcha I ordered online through the app, and pick up was easy and smooth. My drink was ready within 15 min of order. Interior is modern and clean, and it's a great spot to chill. read more
Went back here for a second time to get the bobo milk tea again. Not sure if it was made slightly differently or if I just remembered it to be different last time but it wasn't my favourite. I couldn't really taste the tea this time and it was very very heavy on the milk flavour. Boba was still cooked nicely and had a good chew. For now, I won't rate it any less because it is still a well crafted drink, but just a bit different than my taste preference. I like the milk tea at Moomo better. I'm still super excited to try their fruity drinks here though, they look promising ! read more
A fun side quest/pick me up to visit after you finish grocery shopping or after a meal! Right at the entrance, you can immediately smell all the tea leaves being freshly brewed! It's a pretty good aromatic smell. I came on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty packed. I feel like it would be better to visit on an off day if you want to avoid the rush. What I ordered: - Coconut Mango Boom: Pretty good, not too sweet. Lots of mango bits but not as icy as I was expecting it to be. - Mango Grapefruit Boom: Very similar to the coconut mango boom! Not much grapefruit in our drink but enough to have the drink more tangy. A fun souvenir is that you can get a free tote bag if you order two drinks and post on social media! read more

I was so excited to try this spot and I was not disappointed. They were quick and informative with their menu options. I tried their mango coconut bloom and it was super yum! It's very similar to Hui Lau Shan but I think it's not as sweet. I'll def be back and recommend this spot for those who are looking for a refreshing "healthy" boba spot. read more
I've been wanting to try this place because I've heard so many things about it. I got the Mulberry Bloom. I didn't know what to expect, but it reminded me more of a smoothie than a fruit tea. It wasn't terrible and I liked the chunks of mulberry, but I was hoping to get more a fruit tea flavor. That being said, it did taste very good. It was definitely on the pricier side for boba. This place reminds me of Omomo. read more

Shares the same plaza as Trader Joe's and halal guys so parking can be a bit hectic. I like to order via the app and the wait time is less than 5-10minutes. It is very accurate. If you like fruity drinks, you will enjoy HEYTEA. My favorite is the grape and mango drinks! read more
Another new boba place in Sunnyvale. Love it. Located in the Trader's Joes mall. The decor is minimalistic and clean. They really want you to order online with their QR code but I couldn't get it to work inside the store. No kiosk for ordering. You can order with one of the staff. Heard their mango coconut boom is their it drink so we got two - one with customization. It tastes like the hk mango dessert. It was refreshing and pretty delicious. Can be sweet - maybe order 50%? Although the mango coconut boom is good - I wouldn't really call it a drink. I would come back for something else. I am not a huge dessert person so I would prefer to get a drink. read more

First time here & am surprised with the very long line. They messed up my order but arguing will not make sense. Anyways, you will not taste any sweetness even with regular sweetness- which i prefer. Overall, it is good. They have few seats but need to you manage the traffic read more

I came here for their soft opening a while ago to try some of their drinks. It was my first time hearing of Heytea but apparently they're well known in China and they have a couple of locations opening around the bay. Looking at the menu, they mainly specialize in matcha, or blended fruit drinks. If you're into that, I'd highly recommend this place. The store was really clean and they seem to take pride in using real fresh ingredients and teas. My friend and I got Matcha drinks and grape blended drink and I thought it was pretty good but it can take a little longer since it's handmade/blended. Personally I prefer more variety of teas/milk teas (I love osmanthus oolong or other floral and unique teas) , so I'm hoping in the future they'll add more to their menu or else I'd probably go somewhere else more to my taste. Another note is that this is one of the busiest plazas in Sunnyvale so depending when you go, it may be a bit hard to find parking but not impossible read more

First time trying this place. All three drinks we tried was soo good. It was pretty busy when we came midday. They only use self-service kiosks. The ambiance inside is minimalistic, but enough chairs to accommodate customers inside and outside. read more

this place is AMAZING. actually such a pleasant surprise. i heard so much about it when it opened, so i thought it would just be another overhyped place, but im so happy that i was wrong. the quality of the drink was SO good that i didnt even mind if i didnt get toppings, which is usually a big part of what makes a good drink for me. cloud coconut blue: 10/10 - so refreshing and such a great combination of flavors. cloud crisp grape: 10/10 - my friend got this drink and i usually dont get fruity drinks but this one is top tier. so flavorful and the grape bits are my favorite part. the atmosphere of this place was nice to sit and talk with your friends. the drinks came out pretty fast, i went on a saturday in the afternoon and it wasn't that crowded! read more
