Came here after eating all the noods . As if I needed more calories, but I did it. No regrets. Lol Creme Brulee Oolong with grass jelly. Omg heaven and creaminess in my mouth. Less ice, 50% sweet pure perfection. They were out of boba and I didn't want to wait 20 min so I switched it for grass jelly and was just as tasty
Such a perfect way to beat the heat! The place has this super cute, chill vibe, and there are so many drink options it honestly took me a while to decide. I ended up getting the Salted Cheese Oreo Matcha (so good), and my boyfriend went for the seasonal Salted Cheese Peach. I almost caved and got something from the pudding section--especially the coconut pudding, which I keep seeing everywhere lately. Drinks were refreshing, staff were super nice and patient while explaining everything, and the prices were actually cheaper than a lot of spots nearby--about $6.50-$8. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to.
I went with the roasted oolong milk tea...delicious. The oolong jelly was a standout: smooth, flavorful, and complemented the drink perfectly. I ordered it with light ice and light sugar which was perfect. Sat outside in the shared space.
A good place for drinks. This place wasn't busy. Had some cute decorations and seemed clean. We liked both drinks. Got Mango coconut pudding and Super Orange green tea. Everything tasted well made. Clean tea flavor. You can adjust the sweet. Ordered on the kiosk. Barely any seating. I think this place is fairly new. Service was ok. Street parking around the corner.
I came here hoping that the recent Yelp activity with glowing 4 star reviews would satisfy my milk tea cravings and was completely disappointed. Food / Drinks S4. Salted Cheese Peach Oolong (50% sweetness, 25% ice) This drink was completely watered down. I could barely taste any tea. The salted cheese was not even close to what it should taste like. Sadly after the first sip, I knew this would need to be discarded right away. T6. Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea (75% sweetness, 25% ice) Since the milk tea was brewing for another 8-10 minutes, I was given a choice for oolong milk tea or a refund. I decided to substitute it for oolong milk tea. The drink itself was not good. The boba in the drink was mini sized - I had no idea that it wouldn't be the original boba. The oats were super mushy. This was another miss on the order. Customer Service As I was at the self-service kiosk in the process of placing my order, the employee said there would be a 30 minutes wait time to pick up my order. I took a chance and placed an order for two drinks, thinking the employee over estimated the turnaround time. There were a ton of other customers inside and thought perhaps the drinks must be that good. I was completely wrong. It was July 4th and there were only two employees working? Not only did I have to wait for 30 minutes, I ended up receiving my order after 50 minutes from the order timestamp. I had asked when my order was ready after waiting 40 minutes. One of the two employees responded, "hold on" since there were 6 other customers waiting for their orders as well. The other employee said that it would take 10 minutes to brew the milk tea or I can get a refund. So I decided to wait again and then was told 5 minutes later that my Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea would need to be substituted with oolong milk tea instead. Once my drinks were finally provided, I asked if I could at least receive a partial refund for the long wait. The employee said that they couldn't override the system and proceeded to give me $5 as a courtesy refund. Ambiance Bright white with neutral wood aesthetics from the chair to the main island kitchen counter. There's 4 mini claw machines set up in the back. Location In the downtown area next door to Potato Stick and across from Tong Sui.
Downtown San Mateo has like, double digit boba shops - a few of which have come and go, and Heeretea is one of my favorites after trying all of them. Heeretea is quite Chinese, has cat decor, has a great variety of flavors, and they generally do all of them well. I especially like how their fruit teas taste pretty fresh with a good balance in flavor. Their lemon teas tend to have lemon seeds dropped in, so be wary about them. Their tea strength is also strong, and they sometimes put something new on the menu. The boba is on the chewy side, and can sometimes be too chewy and dense. Otherwise, they're relatively good, though one time they tested out a different, more translucent boba formula. Word to the wise, don't get the popping chestnut or coconut meat bobas. Heeretea offers varying levels of sweetness and ice modification. I usually like getting 25-50% of each, depending on how I'm feeling that day. You go in and order on a kiosk, though you can also order with staff or online. There's several tables inside for very small groups. They have claw machines in the back, and on Fridays there is a $1=2 games special! - Lemon Jasmine Tea with Tea Jelly Refreshing light lemon tea with muddled lemon and lime, and the jelly is slightly firm jello with that bitter tea taste. - Fresh Lemon Black Tea with Lychee Jelly Solid lemon black tea that also comes with a lime slice, and is not as sweet as you'd think at 100% sweetness. Lemon is suitably muddled with a lot of slices. This tastes similar to boxed lemon tea. - Fresh Lemon Grape Four Season Tea with Jasmine Tea Jelly This tasted like a refreshing light and smooth oolong with bright lemon and subtle sweetness from grapes. The jelly was like smooth jello with a mild tea taste. - Fresh Lemon Peach Oolong Tea with Boba Another good lemon tea drink, with nice oolong strength and extra mild sweetness from the peach. I'd say the peach balances out the sourness from the lemon more than the other lemon drinks. - Super Fresh Fruit Tea with Boba I've gotten different fruits with this order, so I assume they give you whatever they have at the time. It's a delicious and pricey way to get your fruits in for the day, though the fruits do take up liquid space. At 50% sweetness, it's on the sweet side. - Fresh Taro Cake Milk Tea with Lychee Jelly I'm impressed that my partner ordered this as it certainly sounds strange, but I'm glad for science. It's literally a milk tea with cream and taro paste slathered inside with some cake crumb pieces. Like, pieces of cake! It did not blend well. Additionally, the lychee jelly did not go well in the combination. It's an example of science gone wrong. - Devil Wuwu (Milk Tea) It's basically brown sugar milk tea with cheese foam and a creme brulee top. It's the devil because of how much calories it is. Get this if you like decadent creamy milk tea drinks and don't eat anything else that day. - Mr. Mango It's just mango puree with coconut milk; it's delicious and refreshing for mango lovers, otherwise not too much to say about it, other than it comes in a smaller cup and looks pretty. - Passion Fruit Duo I've had this at 25% ice and sugar and thought it was perfect at that amount. I like this combo because it comes with two toppings (lychee jelly and boba). It has tartness from the passion fruit with some seeds, a lemon slice, and is overall a solid fruit tea combination. Heeretea definitely offers a more eclectic selection than just a regular boba shop. They even have a very limited Hong Kong snack menu and beverage holders/coolers for sale.
I like the cats on display near the front of the window and the wall art displayed along the length of the storefront interior. Order from a machine near the door and wait until your number is called. The other customers who were waiting for their order seemed more friendly than the staff, however, I did not interact as I typically would have since I was more so waiting for the drinks. They have a few little vending machines all the way in the back corner - can't miss them as their lights are eye-catching and shine so bright, like you're in one of those arcade malls in Japan. Cute items inside, but I didn't know how much it was to play. The floor in that area also looked really dirty and kind of turned me off. I ordered a sugarcane with popping pearls in it. I have had natural sugarcane juice before and had liked it. I thought that this was didn't quite hit the mark as previous ones I've had and I the popping bubble balls weren't what I was expecting them to be like. My thirst wasn't quenched in the way I had hoped. I wish they had more fruity options with jelly as that was what I was craving or matcha drinks. The cups are a decent size though. I did not end up finishing my drink. If you're really thirsty, this is a good place to grab a drink.
Cute little boba shop! Love the cat prints on the wall. You order at the kiosk and there is a discount if you use cash or venmo at the counter but no one was there and it looked closed sooo...? Not a boba expert but got Mr. Mango which is mango, milk and coconut milk. Not a coconut milk fan but the flavor was very subtle so I didn't notice it. Maybe it made the drink creamier? A cute shop to sit around and chat with your friends. Took the table at the back where the claw machines were. Pro tip: If you want a serious conversation don't sit there cuz the music from the machines can be distracting and annoying. . Overall a cute shop to sit and chill and chat.
Such a cute tea shop in San Mateo! My friend recommended their barley milk tea since it's very unique. Apparently this specific drink has popping barley, which is something I've never had, so I was extremely excited to try. The drink is on the pricier side, but it is the going rate nowadays for boba drinks. There wasn't any customers inside when I arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm. I decided to order on their kiosk and the drink was ready within a couple of minutes! Very interesting drink and it would be something that I would probably order again. My friend also recommended their sugarcane drinks too!
Very cute tea shop, the decorations were adorable with cute drawings and statues of cats to colorful lamps hanging down. There were also a few claw machines in the back of the shop where the restroom is out of order. The price of drinks are average priced (6-7$) and there's a variety of cheese foam drinks. I usually just order regular milk tea, half sugar and this time I wanted boba and no ice. I also ordered milk tea, half sugar, less ice. There's an ordering kiosk and a QR code to scan and order on your phone as well as a staff who can take your order. I ordered with a staff since the kiosk was busy and they were already at the counter. I got a number and waited for my order near the window seating. The drinks were at the counter once my number was called and given how busy it was inside we just decided to take a stroll out in the court and explore. The drinks were really good, the boba was made well as they were sweet and the right chewiness. I'm glad I got half sweet since it was the right amount of sweetness too. Very nice spot for a beverage and glad we stopped by.
Love that they open late compared to many other boba shops; it's a nice place to hang out with friends after dinner. - Mango Coconut Pudding - delicious! It was tart and sweet, with lots of mango chunks and yummy coconut pudding. The pomelo is a nice touch. I liked this more than Heytea's mango drink. I couldn't adjust the sweetness of the drink, and I would've liked to lower it because I tend to drink less sweet. However, it wasn't sweet as I thought it would have been even with no customizations. I've also tried their Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea before and it's quite addicting. It's got a nice chew texture wise, and the flavor itself is pleasant and unique (I also love barley tea). Would recommend this drink since it's not offered at other places to see if it's something you'd like! Service is fast and friendly. Some indoor seats and there's also outdoor seating.
Their tea is so good! They have some interesting combinations that you might not find elsewhere or maybe not as common. I usually go for their fruit teas either the grape ones or lemon or citrus ones but went for the fresh taro oat milk tea my last visit and I quite like it! I wasn't sure what to expect but they make it with black tea and fresh taro chunks and oats! I actually really liked this drink and would go back for this next time if I'm craving a little treat. A couple tables available for seating and an ordering kiosk or order at the counter.
Came to check out this new boba spot that I've never been and found it to be a nice hangout spot! The store itself is cute with lots of Mofusand-like cat artwork on the walls, and they have a self-ordering kiosk that makes things easy to order. I ended up getting a four season tea with boba (50% sugar). The tea was good and the boba was also well cooked with a good texture and was sweet. There's also plenty of seating (at least 4-5 tables), which makes it easy to hangout with friends. The day that I went, it felt like they were a bit understaffed though, with only one person that was staffing the whole store, but the drinks were still made fairly quickly. Overall, this was a convenient and cute boba spot and recommend to those who want a place to hang out.
Food: - Items: 2 Coconut Mango Puddings - Liked the Coconut, the mango tasted kind of artificial - 7/10 Service: - Ordered from a kiosk - Server wasn't very helpful in describing their best drinks, just pointed us to their menu - 6/10 Ambiance: - Small place, don't remember any seating inside - To go type of place - Nice lighting and decor - 7/10 Overall Rating: 7/10 read more
Upon entering, there is a kiosk where you can order. I got the four season green tea with 50% sugar, no ice, with Boba. The tea was very lightly sweetened and because the boba was glazed with sweetener, I enjoyed the drink because it wasn't overly sweet overall. There are a few tables where you can sit and hangout but unfortunately the toilet was out of order so it discouraged customers from staying. read more

This is a very cute boba shop in San Mateo. I love the drink selection here; they have a pretty extensive menu. Not only that but they also have teas that I usually don't see at other places. For example, they have sakura tea and barley milk tea, which both sound very good. Right when you enter, there's a kiosk for ordering. I came on a Sunday afternoon, and there was no one else inside. I got my drink a few minutes after placing my order. I added boba to my drink, and they forgot to add it. I had to go back and ask for it. They gave it to me in a little container, which was fine. I ordered the T18, which was the Purple Rice Taro Cake Milk Tea with light sugar and boba. The drink was delicious. Even though the drink had a lot of toppings, I still felt like I got a good amount of drink and it wasn't just all toppings. I really liked having the variety of toppings, which provided different textures and chewiness. I would definitely get this drink again. I will come back here next time I'm in the area. read more

The Taste Very plentiful generous amount of boba and crystal boba. Sweet and tastes just write, also includes fresh fruit inside. Ambiance Super cute decorations and an upstairs for seating. Service It took a while for the clerk to get the register to work, but it was fine. The cup is the nicest and most secure I have seen for capping the tea so it doesn't spill even when you don't put a straw in. I would come here again to try other flavors. It can be a little price-y, but it's worth it given the size and the packaging. read more

Stopped by this cute boba place decorated with cat paintings and Christmas decorations! It was a weekend night but not busy. They have some seats inside so it's a nice place to hang out. We ordered: - salted cheese Oreo milk tea: loved the Oreo crumbs on top and the cheesy foam top made the drink very creamy! The boba was soft and chewy with a slightly sweet taste. Not super strong tea flavor but it was still good. - crème brûlée oolong milk tea: comes with boba but since I got a hot drink I asked for no boba. The crème brûlée had the right amount of sweetness, but the tea didn't have the strong flavor. Overall, a nice place to stop by for dessert drinks as they have a large menu with different drink options. Some drinks didn't allow for sugar adjustment. Also, I wish the hot options were easier to identify but it was helpful to browse on their tablet ordering system. The staff are quick with service and available to answer questions. read more

Came by with a friend on a Sunday afternoon a little before 5 for a little sweet treat. After reading reviews I decided to get the mango coconut pudding and my friend got the oat highland barley milk tea (50% sweet, 50% ice). There's a large screen you can order on if you want to pay with card, but if you pay with Venmo, they'll give you a small discount (no sales tax) and you can place your order with the cashier. We didn't have to wait long for our drinks to be ready and sat at one of the small tables to admire the adorable mofusand art along the wall. The mango coconut pudding had a very soft and enjoyable mouthfeel, though at the time we went (this was from June) the mango chunks were slightly hard/not at peak ripeness and also weren't very sweet. The oat highland barley milk tea was really good, though the toppings in the drink were quite unique and took a little to get used to, but we'd be open to getting it again. Definitely a solid option for your boba fix! Would be open to coming back to try their other drinks when I'm in the area again. read more

I think it's alright. The roasted oolong milk tea was pretty light in taste. Good chewy boba though. The oat highland barley milk tea was interesting, featuring oat popping boba. If you enjoy oatmeal, this would be your go-to drink. There is a lot of oatmeal in this drink, lots of chew to get through! read more
Ordered 1. F2 Grapefruit Green Tea with 50% Sugar and added Lychee Jelly 2. T6 Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea with 50% sugar and 25% ice. The grapefruit green tea was super refreshing and tasty, it did not come with an option to adjust the ice level for this drink. They forgot the Lychee Jelly in my drink so I told them and they added some on top for me. Even with 50% sugar, it was quite sweet, I will try 25% sweet for this drink next time! The Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea was perfect at 50% sweetness and love how it's barley based with the barley chews inside. However, they used crushed ice which is similar size to the barley and you end up getting lots of ice with every sip of the drink. The lid was not on correctly so when I put my straw in, the lid came off and I almost lost my drink. I would absolutely get the Oat Highland Barley Milk Tea again at 50% sweetness. Because the Grapefruit Green Tea was so refreshing and tasty on a warm day, I definitely want to try the super fruit tea next time! read more

Came to heeretea on a Wednesday night at 820pm after hot pot. There was no line and i ordered straight from the kiosk. There is a note on the kiosk that there is a discount if you were to pay in cash and order from the cashier. I ordered the creme brulee oolong milk tea 25% sweet with less ice and the drink was amazing. The boba was well marinated and i could taste the sugar syrup that it had been soaked in! Good job heeretea on your boba. Even with 25% sweet i think it's still too sweet. I'll try zero sweet next time. Service was quick since there was nobody inside the shop. There are plenty of spaces to sit and chill with friends. Only bad part i dont like about the store is the lack of air conditioning. There were two fans blowing and it was still warm inside. If they want people to linger inside the shop, please use AC. Overall, very good boba shop. Will come back for sure. read more
Quick and easy ordering with kiosk. Drinks were made pretty quickly too. Ordered the fruit tea at 25% sweet, still pretty sweet. Had the usual slices of oranges and apples with some small chunks of pineapple. The boba was warm and delightfully chewy. Family members also got drinks and they were happy with theirs. read more
Cute boba spot in san mateo! Couldn't resist not ordering these little christmas gingerbread bottles. Pick what drink you want and they fill it up! Not all drinks are eligible for the bottles though! Luckily the ones we wanted did! They also have clawmachines in the back to play, tokens can be purchased at the cashier, venmo or cash! Recommended! read more

I was super excited to try Heeretea but was let down quickly. The interior is gorgeous and there are tables to hang out at. There wasn't a restroom from what I saw. There's a kiosk to order from or you can go to the counter where they take orders from as well. Service was fast. I had asked them what to order between two drinks and decided on an Oreo milk tea with cheese foam. The tea itself was really bland in my opinion. I did order less sweet, so that may have played a factor. The cheese foam itself didn't really have flavor and the consistency wasn't that thick either. Was definitely disappointing considering their drinks are on the high end in terms of pricing with no toppings. Not sure I'd go again. The shop is located in the downtown area so parking is metered street parking. read more

This review is on the sugarcane with popping coconut. It was the only thing I tried. I got the medium size. Thought it was really small for $10. Thought the drink was ok. Didn't taste like fresh sugarcane. Will have to try something else next time. read more
One of my favorite boba places in the bay! There's no one drink that I get but their cheese foam drinks are really good and their boba is the perfectly chewy and lightly sweet. Their tea flavor is strong and refreshing. Their fruit teas are also really good. There's a kiosk you order from but the staff are all very nice as well. read more
