Review #112 (HTeaO: Uptown OKC)
Location: 1400 NW 23rd Street, Oklahoma City, OK, 73106. They're next to Pollo Campero.
Hours: M-F: 7am-805pm; Sat: 8am-805pm; Sun: 11am-805pm. I read that they may have changed to their summer hours and are open til 905pm, but check with each location to make sure.
Company: HTeaO started in Texas, and moved up to OK with a few different shops in the state. They have the good kind of ice that is crushed, almost like Sonic's ice, as well as cubed ice. They promote they have premium water they use to make the teas. Their water is brewed by double pass reverse osmosis.
Drinks: They offer anywhere from 22-27 different types of tea, sweet and unsweet. The exact number of flavors vary based on location, and I've seen the amount varying based on websites and other info articles.
They have various fruit toppings you can put in your tea, inside a small plastic container, that you pick out in the open refrigerator, which are about $.75-$1, then you get in line to pay. They offer 1 cup free of the citrus fruit, lime, lemon, and orange. If you buy a 2nd citrus cup it is $.75.
Tea sizes: They have four cup sizes, from 24oz small, 32oz medium, 44oz large, and extra large. HTeaO also has 3-4 different plastic jugs/containers like you find in the store with milk, tea, OJ, that you can fill up with their tea, so you get more than a cup. I think there is a limit to which teas you can fill up with the large jugs. You'll have to ask them. The sizes are mini, 1/2 gallon, and 1 gallon.
Tea Flavors: regular (no flavor), green tea, blueberry, raspberry, mango, peach, lemonade tea, coconut, ginger, mint, citrus, watermelon, and others. They offer decaf teas and some with no sugar.
Misc drinks: hot tea or coffee that they advertise on the menu. Also sell bottled water
Ice: you can buy bagged ice, crushed or cubed.
Home brew: They sell various flavor teas in a plastic pouch to brew at home.
Snacks: Luna and other energy bars, dried fruits and nuts.
Discounts: They offer military, veteran , and first responders discounts. They have special offers and promotions on occasion, like reduced price or free fruit cups.
Merchandise: All kinds of drink containers with their logo, or ones without logo, T-shirts, hats, etc. They sell Yeti products.
Drive-thru: the drive thru is small as the building they're in doesn't have much space in the back for parking and the drive-thru section.
My experience: I got a large, sweet TX Root Beer, and if you love root beer, you should like this. It was mildly sweet and had the tea caffeine that regular root beer doesn't. The woman at the counter was nice and answered my questions.
It's in a hot spot area, so parking is tricky as it's close to the cars lined up in the drive-thru. I had to drive around to fit into a parking space.
