    Smells like fresh tea in there I love it! Small space and it gets pretty busy sometimes so it's very cramped when there are people waiting. I think the ones in China had more selections but pretty good overall.

    The drinks are good - worth the hype. Been here few times - if you are gonna visit this store- here are couple of things to keep in mind. The store is packed most the time, order online - the mobile app is good and gives the live status of your drink. I would recommend ordering it online rather than waiting in the line for the kiosk to order a drink.

    This place does a fantastic job in getting customers morning to close. It's so popular that there's always a crowd outside. The place itself is very nice looking, clean, quaint, and pack full of workers ready to get customers' orders completed. I went with the coconut mango blue which looked delicious but it was too sweet for me. Inside it smelled very fragrant, light, and clean. Unfortunately, there's no options to change tea sizes, and it came to $7.50 with tax! I'm sure there's a flavor out there which I would like, but I would have to drink too many teas and try all too many iterations

    been here a few times now, have gotten a number of teas with different varieties. The quality has been consistent. The teas have been strong and smooth. The fruit flavors in each tea have really paired well with each tea they've chosen. i have finally downloaded the app and it does really save time.

    Green grape drink

    High quality boba, probably the best in Boston, but one star off for the exorbitant price! Interior is small, standing room only and meant just for pick up, not hanging out. Ordered a green grape drink via Uber eats which was a seamless process.

    Mango grapefruit boom

    I'm obsessed with the coconut mango boom. Lots of coconut flavor with bits and pieces of sago with chunks of mango in every sip. It is very addicting -- sometimes even one is not enough. It's more of a dessert but it's amazing. I would suggest to pre-order it on the app and then pick up (and your earn points and rewards). It does get busy in the Allston store only because it's very small inside. Depends what you feel like drinking, but it's my favorite on the block.

    First time trying Hey Tea. I ordered two of their recommended drinks: Mango Grapefruit Boom: I ordered less ice and less sugar. There were chunks of fresh ripe mango and mango puree. I can taste the coconut milk. There were tapioca. Reminded me of mango sticky rice or the Chinese mango tapioca dessert. Definitely not too sweet. Supreme Matcha Latter: Regular ice and less sugar. The matcha foam on top was really good. A strong matcha flavor overall, no bitterness, pretty smooth overall.

    We were craving something sweet after a filling lunch. We chose HeyTea and ordered the following: Coconut mango boom - a drink for those who love coconuts and mangos Cloud Crisp Grape - incredible combination of frozen grape pieces and a fun twist on a grape flavor There is no seating so be prepared to grab the boba and go on a walk with friends while drinking the drink!!! The service is quick in spite of the long line. You order through a kiosk. Each of the drinks are made with care and are standardized in a way I appreciate the quality assurance! The lighting and aesthetics of everything is synchronous!

    Coconut Mango Blue
    Jackie D.

    High quality ingredients with a great blend of flavors intermingled. Had the pleasure of trying the Coconut Mango Blue (from spirulina) which was a refreshing treat. This location is also crazy busy, and the online ordering isn't always made available given the high volume of orders. Like the other HeyTea in the Boston / Newbury area, there's barely enough standing room to order. As such, not really such a thing as ambiance when it's just order and/or pick-up then go. HeyTea in the Bay Area has seating area and a nice interior aesthetic to drink tea while catching up with a friend or work. Taste of drinks is consistent across the board though!

    Mango cloud
    Kayla L.

    Came on a Friday evening 15 mins before closing thinking it will be a shorter wait. I waited for 20 mins which isn't bad but advice to order online if you dont like to wait. Staff were efficient and friendly and their work flow is great as I was observing while waiting. The mango cloud is like drinking a dessert and so fresh and the mix with a bit of the lightly salted cloud foam is perfect. The east coast hey tea seems to have less items on their menu like no mulberry. The location is cozy and clean with good lighting but no space for seating.

    Mango coconut and jasmine tea with matcha foam

    Food - 5/5 Service - 4/5 Ambiance - 1/5 These are probably some of the best tea drinks in the Boston area, and I'm so glad this chain has reached Boston. Highly recommend anything in the mango series, at slightly reduced sweetness. I've had some communication issues with questions while ordering so beware of that. Also as it's still newish, there's typically a long line to order and a long line to pickup with nowhere to sit and wait. I would say the ambiance is non-existant and the ambiance of the sidewalk where you're going to spend most of your time waiting is not great. It's all worth it though for these drinks. My last gripe is that the app still doesn't work for this location so it's not like you can order ahead of time or benefit from any rewards.

    Has steadily become a favorite stop for us. It's even more awesome when there isn't a 30-1.5hr wait haha, but it's that good. Anytime we in the area or feel like taking a drive we pop down to Allston for some heytea. The one thing i do love is the consistency with the machine they have and their SOP for making drinks. Mango sago grapefruit is hands down the best. Their green tea latte's are good too but we tried the cheese cap one and it was alright. Nothing tops the mango sago so far. We did opt for their guava green grape that dropped the other week and had people flooding to the shop, but it was alright imo. Busy store, busy area, order on the app and check wait times and show up and grab them! First time we went we waited 1.5hr .. not doing that again haha.

    I tried to order on the app, but they paused ordering due to being too busy. I opted to go in store... Stopped in around 1 pm on a Sunday. The fresh brewed tea aroma was a good sign! The small shop was packed with people waiting for their drinks, but no line to order. There is a self order kiosk but it was down. No seating - take away only. There is a screen that tells you when they are preparing your order and when it's ready. Staff also call out the number for in store orders when they're ready. Despite being extremely well staffed, from when I ordered, it took 30 minutes to make two drinks. I ordered the supreme brown sugar boba milk tea and the coconut mango boom. I tend to like my drinks with very little sugar and Heytea does the minimal sugar PERFECTLY. The brown sugar boba milk tea was so good. Boba perfectly chewy. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The coconut mango boom was even better. Very refreshing, hint of sweet. I loved that you can still distinctly taste the tea despite the added toppings, milk etc. Pricier but worth every penny. My new favorite boba spot.

    Wings are amazing and Moon Flower is one of my favorite places to go when I'm craving fried…read morechicken. Popcorn chicken used to come as a giant heap but is now a much lesser portion. Unfortunate, but understandable due to inflation. Both come out very crispy, properly seasoned, and well breaded. Pistol legs are a hilarious name, but also very good. BBQ chicken wings are not fried but have a delicious saucy glaze on the outside. Service is friendly, but to be fair, I only ever order online so interactions are short and quick. The space inside seems nice enough and there's always people there, but I've always gotten takeout. Looks like a nice spot to sit, eat, and possibly even do some work with ample space.

    Rating this spot what I'm rating because the fried chicken dishes were the main things I'd order…read moreagain, compared to everything else. The chicken itself was pretty juicy and crispy, but it tended to be more on the drier side for my personal taste. As for other options, like the fish sandwich and the sausage, they were pretty ordinary to me - and a smidgen overpriced for what they were. Anyway, though the chicken was good, me and the wife experienced a moderate amount of stomach discomfort that we'd like to attribute to this visit - given how this was the only spot we went to for food (and how it was more or less the only meal we had that day). So... hesitant to go back, but might give this joint another chance... just not in the near future.
