    I love HeyTea! Still my favorite location to go to in MA. I've experienced the least amount of problems here, compared to the other two (Newbury St. & Natick). PLUS, they close later than both. I have this bad habit of going here almost every time I have a meal in the area LOL. The addiction is real! I love that they keep adding new drinks to their menu... keeps it interesting. My favorite is still the Mango Coconut Boom but I'm a fan of most of their new drinks, like the Golden Oolong Yuzu & their King Jasmine Guava! I tried the Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, as well, and it's super similar to one of my favorites from MollyTea. I prefer the one from MollyTea more w/ champaca tea. Since their opening here, I have tried almost all of the drinks & their mango coconut boom is STILL superior! Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mango. It is pretty much their version of mango pomelo sago (they have a version with pomelo but I like it without). SO GOOD! ***Pro tip: order ahead of time via HeyTea app. This is a lifesaver, since the wait time is pretty atrocious most days still. Usually takes ~20 min to be ready.

    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
    Connie C.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Scratch anything I have ever said about the best boba tea place in the past. This! This place is the best! The ordering process is quick and simple, all ingredients are high quality and the best part is, they brew the tea in front of you. I got the Cloud Matcha Latte and Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk (caffeine free). Both were made to perfection. I got my matcha latte with extra matcha, it was creamy and delicious. The cloud foam was fluffy and really pulled everything together. Lastly, I really like their process- from ordering to pick up. Everything is super organized and all happening right in front of the customers. You can order online, at the self ordering kiosk or at the register. Though the space is limited but is enough for standing and waiting for the pickup.

    Mango coconut and jasmine tea with matcha foam
    Ria A.

    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.

Little bit of seating inside and a cozy atmosphere makes for good studying, working, or just conversing. Jasmine Milk Tea w/ Boba - boba was fresh and very flavorful! Chew was alright as the pearls were more of a medium size, which I typically don't prefer, but they were well marinated. Tea was pretty faint, at 25% sugar I couldn't quite get any jasmine taste. Wouldn't get this drink again, but maybe on the boba, and would likely try a specialty drink.

They have a good selection of bubble tea, matcha, and coffee, as well as some pastries and desserts. I ordered the lychee jasmine fruit tea and it was staggeringly sweet. For a lot of bubble tea places, you can customize the sugar level to 0-100% and I would've preferred having a choice here. I didn't see an iPad ordering option. As it was, my drink was also 80% ice for almost $6 - definitely not a treat I can get all the time. Quite a bit of seating inside. We came on a slow Sunday afternoon and the place was a ghost town with our pick of the tables. Only one girl working and making all the drinks; she wasn't super friendly, oh well.

I loved it so much and it's very unique. There is no person taking orders. You just order it on the kiosk. Our order came out relatively quickly. I feel like this boba shop aims to a more luxe clientele then, say, Kung fu tea or heytea. There is no seating really and barely any counter. You can't really come here to study or whatever.
