we've heard a lot of great things about heytea and wanted to see if it lived up to the hype! the…read moreshop can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends or evenings, but i've been lucky a few times with no line at all. you can also order for pickup on the app instead, which saves you the wait, but keep in mind that the estimated pickup time can be incorrect when it's busy. i once waited ~40 minutes for an order that was supposed to be done in 15 minutes. heytea has a limited menu, which mostly focuses on fruity drinks, although there are a few milky options. - crisp grape boom (3.5/5): tasted like fresh red grapes, although i would've liked even more of a grape flavor. it was like a half-melted popsicle, but i thought it would've tasted better if it were all one consistency - either a slush or a juice. i did like the grape bits in it! - mango grapefruit boom (4/5): i enjoyed how fresh the mango flavor was, but there wasn't that much mango in the drink. it was full of toppings, especially the coconut pudding and sago, and it tasted mostly like coconut. there was some grapefruit pulp, but not a ton. it would've been great with more mango. this was also more watery than most mango sago drinks i've had - coconut mango boom (4.5/5): it would've been perfect if it were less watery! it had an even balance between coconut and mango, which i loved. there was a huge difference in flavor between the mango grapefruit and the coconut mango boom, even though the only thing different was the grapefruit. i could actually taste the mango in this one - supreme brown sugar bobo milk tea (4/5): very light for a brown sugar milk tea but also didn't really taste like one. i could taste the black milk tea, and there was some initial brown sugar flavor where it pooled at the bottom but then disappeared. the cheese cloud topping was really tasty - lightly sweet and salty. i didn't think the drink was too sweet at regular sweetness, but i could've gotten it less sweet. the brown sugar bobo (boba) was chewy but really on the softer end - matcha cloud jasmine latte (4/5): really great jasmine flavor, but the matcha was very subtle. i barely tasted the matcha at all! it was very light for a milk tea and perfectly sweet at less sweet - green grape boom [seasonal] (4.5/5): i liked this one more than the crisp grape boom because it had more grape flavor. it was also watery but more of a slush than the crisp grape boom. i loved the chunks of green grapes in it! - mulberry strawberry boom [seasonal] (4/5): good fruity flavor, which was light and perfectly sweet. i didn't enjoy it as much as the grape drinks because the seeds in the berries would get caught in my teeth and i didn't like the tartness as much, but it was exactly as advertised. it did have a prominent mulberry flavor and lots of pulp if ordering on the app, toppings are added at the very bottom by tapping on the topping and then adding it to a drink. the brown sugar bobo (boba) is softer than what i like, but it's still chewy and not bad. the fat-free bobo pops (crystal boba) are good, and the clouds (creams) are pretty thick. overall, heytea uses fresh high quality ingredients, but i do think they're a little overhyped. the fruity drinks are definitely better than the milky drinks. i like that they include calorie counts and indicate the ingredients in each drink, and the drinks in general taste healthier than other boba stores!

Pro tip: ORDER AHEAD Heytea is a chain I've always liked,…read moreand I am pleased to get another consistently tasty drink from this Daly City location! It's located in Westlake shopping plaza so there was ample parking, even on a weekend during dinner time. I had ordered online ahead of time as I had a coupon expiring soon. 10% ain't much but ykw it's honest work. I have been meaning to try their guava drinks forever, and finally today I got the guava grape, which can be made with or without jasmine tea. I got it the recommended way, with the tea, as well as less ice and less sugar. The drink was ready when we arrived. The store smells delicious as all Heyteas do. We waited a few minutes for a worker to be freed up, and were on our way, drinks in hand, 5 minutes later. The guava grape drink tasted just as I hoped it would. The guava and jasmine tea gave each sip a delicately earthy, floral flavor, and the crispness of the grape and the chunks of fresh grape brightened up each sip. This drink was just as good the following day as it was fresh, an important metric for me as the slowest drink-finisher I know. I will definitely be back to this Heytea if I am in the area. I saw that they brought back their blue coconut matcha with coconut jelly, which is my favorite matcha drink from them, so I will for sure get that next time!

Drove by this place many times and finally decided to give it a try. Walked in and was greeted by…read morethe staff. They have a large selection of drinks to choose from, so it took me a while to decide. They also have a kiosk for ordering, which was convenient. I ordered the crème brûlée milk tea with half sweetness. The top layer actually tasted like crème brûlée. Even at half sweetness, it was still a little too sweet for my taste. If I come back, I probably won't order this drink again, but I'd be interested in trying some of their other options. The place is small and has a small bench where you can sit while waiting for your drink. Parking is in the back, so drive around to the parking garage and look for the customer parking area.

I didn't know my order was ready because the drink I ordered didn't look like what I ordered. I asked an older lady behind the counter if she had my order, she confirmed it was the drinks I was looking at. I tell her that my order is wrong, and she argues that we ordered extra sago (not the drink I was talking about) She didn't let me explain that I was referring to the mango drink with pearls until I had to raise my voice- still being polite, but wanting to address why my drink had pearls. She laughed and said I ordered them. I had selected the option for "no sago" but didn't realize it meant you get pearls instead. They didn't have an option to omit the sago. Anyhow, once we both realize the mistake, and I tell her it was an accident, she shoves the drink to me and turns around to walk away. I tell her I don't want it and she laughs and says, it's what you ordered. Didn't offer to make a new one - despite being an honest mistake (based on a crappy ordering platform). I've spent a good amount of money here and felt disrespected. I won't be coming back.
