Looking for a tasty drink whilst window shopping at Galleria? This place has some great drink offerings that will satisfy those sweet cravings. Went here randomly while walking through the lower level of the food court and I was immediately drawn in by the modern aesthetic of the store. The staff is very helpful and the menu is easy to read. I had the delicious tiramisu milk tea drink, it had all the flavors of a traditional tiramisu while still staying true to tea flavor!
I've come back to Heytea multiple times and they never disappoint! Order ahead on their app to avoid wait times & get rewards ;) This location is in the galleria food court so it's very small, more of a grab-and-go situation but there is some seating available while you wait. They work fairly quickly, even during busy times! Iced triple supreme matcha latte: for the matcha lovers who love foam and toppings! The mochi is soft and warm (I wasn't a big fan of the warm contrast with the iced drink, but it's definitely made fresh). Iced supreme matcha latte: my go-to! It's the perfect amount of sweetness. The foam can be a little much sometimes, so keep that in mind. This drink used to default come with matcha jelly (delicious!), but now it defaults with no toppings and you have to add on the matcha jelly (free of charge). Green grape boom: very light and refreshing! Although it's a slushie, sometimes it can be a little TOO icy and not enough of the grape flavor. It varies each time I order it. I don't typically like grape-flavored things, but this tastes like you're just eating fresh grapes and is delicious. Not artificial at all! Love that they use real ingredients!
I liked the Kale Boost Tea, which had tea, green grape juice, kale juice, lemon juice, cane sugar, and chia seeds. I didn't realize you could specify jasmine green tea or matcha as the base. The drink had some body from the juices and chia seeds. It comes in a cute (branded with the mascot and graphic) plastic bottle, which has a silicone plug top cap that your boba straw fits through.
Is it worth the hype? Is it worth dealing with the galleria? Short answer, no. Long answer, it's a very solid tea place but it was definitely a one time visit to this particular location. If they open a closer one that's easier to park then I might frequent it more. I got 3 drinks from their favorites, my favorite of the 3 was the mango and coconut boom, mango was very refreshing and did not taste artificial at all. The 2nd favorite was the brown sugar boba milk tea, I did less sugar and it was very light, most places half sugar is too sweet, here I might need full sugar next time, finally the triple green tea, after drinking this I realized I don't really like green tea that much. The prices aren't that high for the galleria and the service was fast for as crowded as it was. It's located by the food court/skating rink area.
Definitely one of my favorite boba places now! I'm dying to come back as soon as I can! I absolutely loved the mango blue cloud drink! It was so phenomenal that I came back within an hour to buy 2 more of the same drink!! It's really that good! I think it is a seasonal drink though, but I wish they had it year round! The barista was very nice and took my order patiently the very first time I ordered. I had a lot of questions about the different drinks because I'm very particular about my boba drinks, and she took the time to help me pick the drink I would like most! She did a great job! The drinks also come out pretty fast, within 5-10 minutes!
I loved the clean aesthetic of this place it was very modern and simple. The place had so many different things other boba tea shops didn't have. The cup is also unique too I'm sure other shops have the same top but this was new to me. The lid you slide it and then insert the straw. The service was also what you would expect at a boba tea shop-nice and quick. I ordered the matcha cloud coconut blue and it was so yummy it tasted like a coconut desert and not like just coconut milk. I did add boba in it but it does come with some pieces of coconut or something like that in it already.
One of my new favorite boba places! After hearing so much about HeyTea, I'm so glad it has made its way to Houston. From the strong aroma of fresh jasmine tea that it radiates, to the amazing packaging, to the fresh and tasty drinks themselves, everything about this place is great. I tried the Mango Coco Boom, the Mango Grapefruit Boom, the Matcha Cloud, and the Original Jasmine Cloud, and I loved all of them. The mango coco boom had fresh mango chunks and was creamy from the coconut milk and coconut jelly. Though coconut milk can be heavy, the drink was still very refreshing from the jasmine tea slushie. (8.5/10) The mango grapefruit boom was quite similar, but with a more citrusy profile. I loved how there were fresh grapefruit bits in the drink that brighten the flavor. (9/10) The matcha cloud was also very good. I could tell that they use a good quality matcha from the color and that they use a generous amount of it. The matcha taste was authentic and the matcha cream on top was creamy and not too sweet, which I loved. (8/10) The jasmine cloud was my personal favorite. It's everything I look for when I want a sweet treat after my meal. The jasmine tea flavor is so strong, and the "cloud" was very creamy with a hint of sweetness. It is filling and satisfies my sweet tooth without making me feel heavy afterwards. This is the only drink at a boba place that I haven't had to adjust the sugar level for. It's perfect. (10/10) The ingredients are high-quality and fresh, the staff is super nice, and the packaging is next level. The cups themselves are really durable and have very functional tops. I also love how when they package to-go drinks they give you a drink holder that perfectly fits the bag so that your drinks are secure. They also have the option of using 0 calorie sweetner instead of cane sugar which is pretty cool. I highly recommend you give this place a try if you are a boba lover like me. Pro tip: park in the yellow garage at the Galleria it is the closest way to get to HeyTea.
My first visit to a HEYTEA despite wandering by its numerous store fronts in Asia. This one had zero wait so I had to drop in and try its famous drinks! The cashier wasn't too familiar with the drinks - it was comical he kept reading the menu back to me but he gets A for effort because he did ask the back room when he didn't know. This location was very modern with a lot of seating options. It is located in the Galleria food court next to the skating rink. The Daly City location has insanely long line ups and I can understand why. I really enjoyed my Mulberry Strawberry Cream drink and will come back to try their other drinks like Triple Matcha! Dear owner - for the love of efficiency, please put your menus on digital board or upfront! It's so painful to wait while people take their time reading the menu at the checkout .. like me on my first visit! . Also please add descriptions or photos of all drinks - I had to get mine remade because it turned out my drink included sago (yuck) and I didn't know. And also figure out why drinks are so slowly made when there are 6 people working! Ok rant done.
It's unfortunate HeyTea opened up in the Galleria first ... but anyways, it was busy on a Sunday afternoon, and there wasn't much seating, so this is definitely a grab & go establishment. Let me rave about their mobile app real quick. I downloaded it to check out the menu and order online, just in case it'd be more efficient. I'm an absolute sucker for good UI design, and HeyTea's app did NOT disappoint; I spent about 30 minutes looking through every drink and its ingredients + descriptions because it felt like such a luxurious experience (alright, I'm exaggerating a bit). Protip: if you're making an account for the first time and spend $15+ on the app, you can get a 15% discount. :) You also get a sticker with a message on the cup. As for the drinks, I recognize the quality of the ingredients they use and their efforts to keep things natural, such as using cane sugar to sweeten their drinks. I ordered the following: - Mango Coconut Boom: (4/5) My friends said this was the best drink; it's comparable to the Mango Coconut drink from Hui Lau Shan, but this has a green tea base. You can order it as a slushie or a non-slushie, but I personally chose a non-slushie. There was a tart aftertaste; the mango chunks are bigger than HLS, including sago balls + coconut cubes, and even regular sugar. Overall, it was tasty, and it's pretty safe to order! - Oat Matcha Bobo: (3/5) I got this because I wanted to try the blue liquid (spirulina, an algae), and the drink was lactose-intolerant friendly. The seaweed note is interesting; it's an acquired taste. The matcha was prominent + grassy, but it was a bit off-putting to my friends. Unfortunately, my drink wasn't as creamy as I'd hoped, and it might've been watered down because I didn't get to drink it immediately. It wasn't sweet at all, but their brown sugar boba helped. I kept it in the fridge overnight and noticed a minty (?) aftertaste? The addition of Spirulina is quite ambitious, so I can see why it'd cause polarizing opinions. Would I order another drink with Spirulina? If I'm feeling ballsy enough. While their drinks are interesting, I wouldn't say they blew me away. They are stunning to look at, though! I wouldn't suggest HeyTea if you have a major sweet tooth, because I ordered my drinks with regular sugar and thought the sweetness was very subtle, which I don't mind. It's on the pricier end, but there are still several options I'd want to try, so I look forward to its opening in Bellaire!
Finally got around to trying the infamous Heytea! It's located inside the Galleria mall in the food court right across the skating rink. There isn't much seating available, it's definitely just a grab and go setting. As soon as you walk in, the diffusers release a jasmine scent. The service was quick and pleasant! The cashier taking my order was very nice and answered any question my friend and I had. Since it was my first time here, I decided to try their Supreme Brown Sugar bobo milk tea. I liked the chewiness and flavor of the actual boba and the milk tea was also delicious. Next time, I would opt for a lesser sugar percentage though. My friend ordered the cloud jasmine tea that I preferred over my own drink. Their jasmine tea is extremely aromatic and fragrant and so good! The foam cream on top of the jasmine tea also created the perfect combination of creaminess paired with the tea. The only downside to this is that it is located inside of the Galleria. So not sure if I'd go out of my way to deal with the mall congestion and parking just for the drinks here.
Fun fact: Heytea notoriously smells bad at many of their franchises- they characterize themselves by their pungent tea smell. My friends and I have experienced it at their LA location AND hong kong location, so it was kinda funny to see the pungent scent diffuser at this galleria location too. BUT fear not, their tea is amazing. My friends and I went after the BOGO grand opening rush and ordered a couple of drinks. We tried the mango grapefruit boom, cloud crisp grape, brown sugar bobo milk tea, and the jasmine tea latte. Literal, all of the drinks were better than I remember. The mango grapefruit boom was so refreshing, the cloud crisp grape had the pleasant asian grape taste that just hits different, the brown sugar mt was nice and creamy, and the jasmine tea latte had such rich tea forward notes that I really enjoyed. I appreciated that none of the drinks are too sweet (trust me I always get 50% or less at boba shops, but I was able to fully enjoy these drinks at 100%). They are a china based company so I guess they are aware of not over sweetening drinks. Love that heytea is finally in houston. Excited to be back. Honestly the only negative is that the drinks are so expensive rip.
Taste like every other Heytea (in a good way). The service is interesting in that it's pretty old-fashioned (no kiosk ordering, and a worker shouts out every order one by one rather than having anything automated or a microphone). read more
for years, this place has dominated my social media pages, and i can finally understand why! truly impressive what they're doing here. we went here to get the BOGO matcha deal, and despite so crazy busy, the service was great and the drinks came out in a timely manner. the triple matcha might've been one of the best matchas - the less sugar option allows you to truly savor the matcha flavor. the mochi rolling is also delicious and pudding-like. mango grapefruit was bright and fruity, with a great mix of creaminess read more

We drive 30 mins to try and it's disappointing 1. I was rushed to order even though they were not that busy 2. Oat matcha bobo was very disappointing, very bland, no smell of matcha and some how it's not cold enough. ( Starbucks matcha is much nicer) 3. Not worth 7$ 4. You must order via app to collect points or use coupon Nothing I like on my visit here!!! read more

From the videos I would see on my FYP, the lines have been extremely long during their first week of opening but thankfully when I went on a Saturday afternoon, the line was only a few people long. I like how minimalistic the design is on the inside. My first thought was I wish the menu was more visible - you had to either be right up at the counter ready to order to see a physical menu or you had to scan a QR code to order online on the app. Once we ordered through the app, we found out there were 76 orders ahead of us and we had to wait 30 min for our drinks so we walked around for a little. Coconut mango boom - 5/5, perfect amount of sweetness and the coconut and mango balanced each other out really well. The perfect dessert drink. Mulberry strawberry boom - 4.8/5, this was very unique, hadn't ever had a drink like this but I was pleasantly surprised. I initially didn't know what a mulberry was but it is very similar to a blackberry and helped added some tartness to the sweetness of the strawberry. Supreme matcha latte - 4/5, they weren't kidding about the supreme. The intensity of the matcha in this latte is insane - it was a little too strong for my mom to really enjoy. But you can certainly tell it is authentic matcha. read more

I went on opening day and waited an hour for my drink. The staff was quite efficient. They helped us with our orders in line so when we got to the cashier, they took our paper with the order and just rang it up. We got the brown sugar milk tea bobo and the mango grapefruit. We are forever trying to find a mango grapefruit drink as good as yumcha. It wasn't as good but pretty decent. I am excited for when the bellaire location opens. The storefront has some seating but not really tables. read more

I don't know why the size is smaller compared to the one that i drink in New York, the price is around $8. Also the milk tea boba is fresher there compared to in Houston. However i am a big fan of Hey Tea. i always bring my fam there, hey tea is on top of my list, i am just not that satisfied with the one in Galeria. read more

I'd heard a lot of hype about heytea and stopped by to give them a try. Ultimately my friend and I thought the drinks were just okay. We tried the Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk (Original Cheese Cloud, Real Dairy Milk, Brown Sugar Syrup, Brown Sugar Bobo) and Oat Matcha Bobo (oat milk, coconut oat foam, blue spirulina liquid, 1000 mesh + Matcha, brown sugar boba) subbed with matcha jelly (extra charge) instead of boba. The supreme brown sugar boba milk was too thick and without a strong tea flavor. While pretty, the matcha drink was very bland and didn't have much matcha flavor at all in the drink or the jelly. For an $8.50 drink, I was disappointed in the matcha quality. There aren't any tables to sit at, just one long bench along the wall to wait. You order at the counter then they display the numbers on a screen and call you when your drinks are ready. The service was fast. The ambiance is noisy because it's in the galleria. read more

New boba place unlocked ! HeyTea is finally in Houston !! I have been waiting for HeyTea to come to Houston for years mainly because I have heard such good things !! I went to their grand opening on the second day as the first day was super crowded. We had gotten to the mall pretty early to wait in line and the line was already pretty long. We waited for them to open and workers eventually came to give as tickets with numbers on them and menus. Their menu tells you what drinks are lactose free, dairy free, and caffeine free. We decided on their Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea, Yumberry Boom, Supreme Matcha Latte, and Coconut Mango Boom. I was able to get the grand opening magnet but had to give them a review in order to get it. Their drinks are in fact on the pricier side but they are also tall. Since it was buy one get one free, it wasn't that bad. So I paid around $8 for 2 drinks and around $9 for 2 more drinks. I can't speak much on the ambiance as I didn't wait long to get my drinks despite how busy it was. I will say it's a pretty small location and it's more of an order and go. I personally only tried the Yumberry Boom and I thought it was perfect. It wasn't too sweet and was refreshing. There was yumberries at the bottom, I think I would have liked the drink if there was less yumberries at the bottom as I kept choking on them(but still a pretty non-issue). My friends who got the other drinks really liked them expect for the Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea. I was told that it wasn't worth the price. I will come back here once the hype has died down a bit to try other items on the menu. I do recommend if you want to try something new. To my friends who have allergies, you would have to ask a worker what is inside the drink just to make sure you are all set. Recommendations: Yumberry Boom: 8/10 Coconut Mango Boom: 8/10 Supreme Matcha Latte: 8/10 read more

I came on the weekend and it was super packed, but the staff worked so quickly that I didn't have to wait long at all, which was great! The drinks are delicious, and I actually remember having this brand when I visited China back in February. The quality is excellent and the prices are very reasonable compared to other places that rely on artificial sugars and dyes. My only wish is that they had a location closer--driving to the Galleria and finding parking can be a bit of a headache. Still, as long as they keep things running this way and maintain the same quality, I'll definitely keep coming back whenever I can make the trip. read more

A great new boba spot inside the Galleria! The space is small, but it has a clean and minimalist design that feels welcoming. The staff was incredibly helpful and patient, which made the experience even better. The drink was delicious--not too sweet, and you can really taste the natural flavor of the tea. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I asked for my drink to be made with less sugar considering how unusually sweet variations of the drink are made. However, it tasted like pure milk with boba. I wasn't mad at the taste, so I will return to try it without modifying it and potentially update my rating. read more

Went on opening day, 7/5/25, for BOGO. All 5 drinks I tried were really good, all less ice, less sugar. My ranking would be the 1.mango grapefruit boom (tastes like mango sago), 2.supreme matcha latte (matcha foam and jelly FTW), the 3.crisp grape boom tastes like juice but the peeled/smashed grapes at the bottom rly made this drink (a staff member told me they got there at 5:30am to hand-peel all those grapes), the 4.yumberry boom tasted like juice/hint of tea slush, and last was the 5.kale boost which was still good and did not taste like kale at all which I appreciated. All the drinks were between $7.49-$7.99 read more

Tried HEYTEA at Houston Galleria for the first time.. Ordered 9 drinks in-store, only to find out after paying that they have an app where you can earn points. I downloaded the app right away and asked if my purchase could be added to my account -- staff said no, only app orders qualify for rewards. This is extremely disappointing. Same money, same drinks -- why should in-store customers be excluded from loyalty benefits? There was no explanation upfront, no suggestion from staff. For a first-time visitor, it felt like a missed opportunity to make a good impression. Drinks might be decent, but the lack of transparency and customer care left a sour taste. Loyalty shouldn't depend on how you order -- especially when no one tells you in advance. read more
