Honestly, probably one of the best and most consistent boba places in the DMV. Since they opened,…read morethey've always been busy regardless of the day or time you go in. Their employees are all really hard workers but also working very hard... so service can be hit or miss depending who you get. The store is designed really well and the ambiance can be chill or busy depending on when you go, but it's generally a bit loud from all the drinks being made and orders called out, etc. I personally rank their fruit drinks as the best, followed by the matchas and then the milk teas. I love the option of being able to get toppings on the side and seasonal drinks that rotate every month or so. Highly recommend this place if you stop by Tysons Corner Mall.

Tried HeyTea on a Sunday afternoon and wow, this place was busy. We waited almost 30 minutes for…read moreour drinks, but the line never stopped moving and the staff handled the crowd well. We got the Coconut Mango Boom and a couple of Cloud Crisp Grape drinks. Both were really good, fresh, and not overly sweet. The Grape Boom with cheese foam was especially refreshing. The wait was longer than I'd like, but the quality of the drinks made up for it. I can definitely see why this place is so popular.

Came in around 2:30 PM on a Sunday. When I walked in there were some people waiting. You order on a…read moretablet, and there are screens that show the orders that have been made or in progress. If you order with a person they have a free sample! I went ahead and order the brown sugar milk with boba. It was prepped very quickly, and the boba was well cooked, brown sugar flavor strong, and overall tasted great! I did get it with 75% sweet and this was ideal for me. Only very very slight negative is that this location is small with no real table seating, there's just some bar seating which luckily was available because most people were grabbing and going. But great local chain to support!

Bobapop in Kentlands has a cute vibe, but it still feels like it's set up for the COVID era, which…read moremakes it less inviting than it could be. There was only one self-service kiosk and no one working the register, so ordering wasn't as convenient as I'd hoped, especially if you have questions or just prefer interacting with a person. That said, the staff was friendly when we did interact with them, and the drinks were really good. The quality definitely makes it worth a visit. If they brought back a more welcoming front counter experience, it would make the overall visit much better. I'd still come back for the boba, but I hope they make the ordering process a little more customer-friendly.

The mango lava cake was delish. Super light, fresh, and not overly sweet. I also loved the milk tea…read morewith panna cotta. The silky pudding texture in the milk tea is SO good and makes the whole drink even better. Portuguese egg tart was a little too eggy and buttery for me. Felt really heavy - wish it was a bit more caramelized or custardy. Seems really popular though, everyone who came into the shop left with some egg tarts lol. The interior only has very few tables and seats, so it's not really the kind of place I'd sit and hang out for a while. I think most people just grab their desserts to go. There's also a parking lot in the back with plenty of spots, which is nice. My only con is their hours and availability. I went around 2 p.m. (they open at noon), and they only had three desserts available from their whole menu. I was looking forward to getting a whole haul, so that was kind of a bummer. I've also heard they sell out pretty early, so it's hard to plan what you'll actually be able to try. Definitely go earlier or message them if there's something specific you're hoping to get. Would be nice if they can release a menu online too or post on their social media what the menu of the day is...

I'm really happy to have this location in MD as I was very accustomed to having one in my home state. We've been many times and I always get the Avocado Cream Slush (I'd recommend if you like avocado smoothies) but this past time I got the mango pomelo drink, it was so good!! My bf got the strawberry cream slush and it was also so good!!! He's upping his game when it comes to boba now. If you're into boba I'd recommend trying Ben Gong's if you haven't. The ambiance is nice and has nice seating to wait in while the drinks are being made.

It was delicious but not exactly what I was looking for. I always take off for any service interaction being reduced to iPad ordering screens and I think in a place where customization is the key, face to face interaction is much more valuable!!

Used to pick up food at their warehouse location. Didn't realize they had moved to a permanent…read morelocation 10 months ago. For a store that's open less than a year, this cafe is worn out. Tables not cleaned and most uneven and wonky. Just one sad front of house employee working that I saw just getting through the orders that are self order. This place has zero ambiance. I went to the bathroom and toilet tissue was nearly out and there was no way to even get anyone's attention to attend to that. Employee just kept their head down working. Food- drinks were great. My favorite is the watermelon coconut jelly. We had the pork chop pineapple bun. This is still a good sandwich. Tastes like they used to make it. Juicy pork chop, sweet pineapple bun. The construction of the sandwich leaves much to be desired because all the wet veggie ingredients slide the entire sandwich. Once you start eating, you should not put this sandwich down or it will come apart. They should put the sandwich in a sleeve. We ordered the fried chicken bento box. This bento has changed a bit from their previous version. With the new paper packaging, there are less compartments for goodies. The fried chicken recipe is different as all the batter fell off the chicken and was just a mess. There was close to zero pickles greens. With the dish which I feel brings this kind of bento together. Conclusion is food is decent, ambiance sucks. Would order to go from here but any fried food from here will be a disaster after you get it home. Had high hopes as I loved the previous location's food. Now being able to "look behind the curtain" and see how everything is made, I kind of feel question the cleanliness of this place.

They always does it right and fast! I never waited longer than 10 mins and the store always look clean and welcoming. Today is the rare occasion we got the brown sugar pearl tea latte and it is so good! The bubble/boba is al dente and sweet. Brown sugar is using legit brown sugar from Taiwan and taste good. Tea can be stronger but overall very good quality and quantity. I got the red bean glutious rice coconut milk with extra sago (50% sweet), made perfect! I love this place and definitely recommend as a regular! Recommended!

My favs are the grass jelly and mango series. Really like coffee grass jelly. and the milk tea with grass jelly. The mango series is solid too. I also like the black sesame, but since it's a denser drink, I'd recommend 100% sweetness if you prefer something sweeter. The kiosk can be a little confusing sometimes, but the staff are always helpful. The wait time is usually pretty reasonable as well. Definitely a spot I keep coming back to.
