    Heytea has become one of my favorite boba spots in Chinatown. It is never not crowded here but the wait isn't too shabby. It's always packed every time we're here. The lines move fairly quick so it's not too bad. I like their mango drinks, the coconut mango boom and the cloud mango. Decent size for the price and quality is consistent. This place isn't ideal to study or work. There are no tables, mostly seats. It's also pretty loud and crowded most of the time.

    BREAKING NEWS - Heytea now has the famous pistachio cloud jasmine coconut! I had to compare if it was just as good as the one from Molly Tea, and omg... I think it might be better. The pistachio cloud is much more nuttier, you can taste more of that coconut, while still retaining a strong jasmine flavor. Molly Tea is definitely more fragrant when it comes to the jasmine tea, but the other flavors (pistachio & coconut) are lackluster now that I've tried Heytea's version. The Coconut Mango Boom is also very good. I can see why is a fan favorite. The coconut jelly is a nice touch. I need to come back to try the grape one because I saw at least 10 cups of it being prepared in a row.

    Hey, tea, you are too expensive for my wallet! Almost $10 for a milk tea. Yikes! It's good, but not that worth it in my opinion. I rather walk across the parking lot and buy a whole Chinese bbq rice box for lunch. On top of that, the last time I went during the afternoon, they ran out of boba. The layout and interior decor of this place is interesting. It's minimalistic and simple. There are no menus to read on the wall and the restroom door blends into the wall. The line to order is slow. I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. You can't read the menu until you get to the counter. Then you are in the "ummmm" and question mode. The payment screen asks for a tip. Why? It's getting out of hand. I'm waiting for grocery stores to start asking for tips for bagging your items.

    Even though the line was slow (~20 min, 2/3 of store from cashier), wait after ordering was long (~20 min), and it was hot inside, the experience went okay since my drink was delicious and pretty and I got the "football" (soccer) magnet after buying (2) drinks. The cashier made sure to clarify how the offer works since she saw my sis and I. A pair of drinks can get (1) magnet but only (1) offer per person. If we each wanted a magnet, we'd have to make separate purchases. The light pink and green colors of the guava green grape were refreshing to see. It tasted like a frozen fruit bar, which was great for a hot day. The kale boost tea was another popular item. I did think it tasted lighter in kale juice though.

    In a sea of drink and boba spots in Chinatown, this place actually stands out. The quality is consistent, the menu has a ton of options without feeling gimmicky, and everything tastes like it was made with care. The space is modern, clean, and functional..the kind of spot you can hang out in without feeling cramped. Prices are about what you'd expect in this area, but the drinks make it worth it. Do yourself a favor and try the Mango Boom. One sip and your taste buds are going to wake up real quick.

    I was in Houston visiting a friend and came across HeyTea and knew I had to make a stop. We do not have a location in Austin, TX but I am a huge fan of tea. They are known for quality ingredients, and giving ancient eastern tea a fresh, modern spirit. Through every cup, they aspire to bring a sense of inspiration and zen to everyone. The store had a very modern and minimalistic vibe. Decorated with silver tea canisters. You can place your order on the app or at the counter. They offer a curated selection of drinks that seem very well thought out. I downloaded the app and they had several reward offers and coupons and I ended up using 15% off my order. The service was very friendly explaining the variations in the drinks and was very patient with me as I was trying to download the app. The place was very crowded even though it had just opened. I had trouble making up my mind and so I ordered two drinks. The Pistachio Cloud King Jasmine, crafted through nine rounds of jasmine scenting, using 5,500 fresh jasmine blossoms for every 500g of tea, with no artificial flavor. Blended with real dairy milk only, no artificial creamer, and finished with a handcrafted in-house Pistachio Cloud on top. It was like heaven on earth with both nutty and floral notes. The foam on top was smooth and indulgent without feeling heavy. I got the Grapefruit Boom for the road, with freshly cut grapefruit slices and juicy grapefruit pulp are infused in Jasmine Tea. This drink was also very flavorful and refreshing with the citrus notes and fresh grapefruit pieces. HeyTea definitely lives up to the hype for creative drinks. I want to open one in Austin, TX because I would definitely be a regular if it was closer!!

    Holy moly the wait here is so long. The first time I went I waited in line for 20 mins only to be told at the front to wait 30 more minutes for my drink. I had to come back to see what the hype was about! I ordered on the app for the coconut mango boom. It was pretty delicious, I loved the mango and coconut and the spirulina added a nice taste to it. I probably should have asked for it 50% sweet. Definitely recommend ordering from the app next time!

    I. Love. Heytea. It's up to hype and worth every penny. The "Booms" are fresh, delicious, and the perfect sweetness. My go-to is the Mango Grapefruit Boom, the bits of grapefruit could be weird for some people but I love the texture and added sourness of the pulp. My friends love the normal Mango Coconut Boom as well as the Coconut Mango Blue. While I don't usually like grape flavored things, their Crispy Grape Boom tastes fresh and the pieces of grape are truly crispy and crunchy, it's my favorite part. Their matcha drinks are also delicious, creamy with a strong matcha flavor. Service is pretty fast for how busy it gets. You can use the app to track your estimated wait time and also see how many cups are ahead of yours. The inside of the store always smells like jasmine and I love it, it could be too much for some people though. Their concept is minimalistic and seating is limited. While there are a lot of parking spots around it, parking could also be hard depending on how busy the rest of the plaza is.

    My friend & I got the Coconut Mango Blue & the Kale Boost Tea. I was hesitant about the kale drink but it surprised me in a good way so I'd recommend both. The interior does have limited seating so we were standing in one of the corners waiting for our drinks. They were busy at the time we went but our drinks still came out fairly quickly.

    Triple Supreme Matcha Latte, Coconut Mango Boom

    I practically a regular here now. Though it does get packed quickly and hard to find a seat to sit down to enjoy your drink, I definitely recommend just going once for their drink. It's as good as the hype says it is. I definitely recommend getting the app and ordering ahead of time plus they have coupons available in the app! The staff try their best to quickly prepare the drinks and bag every purchase in a nice bag. I would say the downside is that it does get pack, loud, and overstimulating during peak hours. Overall, they have been a favorite to-go place for drinks and they often times have promotions going on!

    I had a great experience at heytea. My drink was great! And the ambiance was interesting as well I got the coconut mango boom. It was a great drink. You can tell they use fresh fruit - it's hard to describe just how big of an impact that has on the quality of the drink, but it was darn good. My mango tasted very fresh & juicy. The coconut was delicious too. I was very surprised with the quality & taste of my tea. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is just due to how packed the place was! It was crazy, so many people. And I think as a result it was a little dirty/untidy. There was no soap in the bathroom... It took a bit to get my order, but for the quantity of people it was actually not too long. I'd recommend giving this place a try, but maybe place an online order ahead of time

    Matcha Crisp Grape Boom
    Cayli P.

    Another top boba spot that is a must try. My favorite is their boom drinks, specifically Crisp Grape Boom. Super refreshing. It can get busy oftentimes so I suggest putting an order online beforehand.

    Coconut Mango Blue, Oat Matcha Bobo, Crisp Grape Boom
    Khanh T.

    I love HeyTea! Their drinks are always so refreshing and they use fresh fruit and the most floral tea in their drinks. They have been opened for a while now but the line is still so long everytime. I have tried a lot of drinks from them: * Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea * Supreme Matcha Latte * Triple Supreme Matcha (eh) * Mango Grapefruit Boom * Crisp Grape Boom * Oat Matcha Bobo (eh) * Magnolia Cloud Tea Latte * Coconut Mango Blue * Tiramisu Milk Tea (eh) Some of the drinks are okay but most drinks are delicious. The milk teas are a hit or miss, but you really can't go wrong with the fruity drinks. They are quite expensive but it's worth it!

To be perfectly honest, I am really more of a Tea Sip kind of person and still lament the closure of that Heights institution. For me, 19th Street isn't the same without it. Path of Tea is a totally different kind of operation, however. As for ambience, although I did enjoy looking at some of the decor (hanging fixtures, wall art, etc.), the overall design of the interior felt a bit dated and I would classify the lighting as dim. When we walked in, the guy who works the counter was actually seated and seemed to blend in with the clientele. So, initially, it wasn't clear who's minding the store, so to speak. I thought the guy's communication was on the dry side, but was really more interested in the offerings to focus much on that. The tea I ordered was just OK (peach and apricot blend, as I recall). My guest enjoyed their tea and cookie, but for myself, my heart is still with Tea Sip and it will probably take a long time for me to find a shop of that caliber. Parking, as I recall, was fairly easy as it is towards the end of a strip center. Overall, I would rate this business a 3/5.

There is a harpist who plays music in the background which adds to the relaxing ambiance.

The Sandwhich were a combination of meat (salmon, chicken salad and beef) and vegetarian (cheese and cucumber). The dessert includes scone with clotted cream, fruit tart and cheesecake.
