Very cute interior. Not quite a cafe to study at but great to talk with a friend. The cashier was super nice and patient with the questions I had. I got the triple matcha drink, was very delicious. I'm personally not a fan of the matcha jelly, but I hadn't seen that anywhere else before so I had to try it. Would definitely go back! read more

Heytea - Outside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Ordered the strawberry boom and jasmine matcha with boba. Really good! They use a self service kiosk but only have 1. The store is pretty small too but you can wait outside for your drink. Have been wanting to try this place bc i heard good reviews and it didn't disappoint! Their matcha cheese was delicious on top of the matcha jasmine. Would definitely come back to try their other drinks! The coconut mango boom looks good. Overall, pretty solid spot! read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

The mango boom is a satisfactory mango slushie experience that incorporates coconut flavors (like a cold mango sticky rice) and sago. Definitely a hit for a warmer day, but also more dessert than a boba substitute. Efficient service with a good following of your receipt number. Despite the line of 10 people in front of us, we got our order within 5 minutes of placing it. The shop isn't a sit-down, mainly just a grab-and-go. Looks clean, nothing much more. Plenty of parking but in an otherwise busy parking lot as is. read more

Staffs are very nice And drink taste is really really good! My best boba place so far :) read more

Food = 3/5 Service = 3/5 Ambiance = 2.5/5 Walked in to order on a day where the line was not crazy. Ordered the grape boom, which was decent but not amazing, especially for the price point. The line has been too crazy every time I've been to the plaza, so I haven't had the chance to try more drinks. The inside of the store is small but it is cute when you get the chance to be inside. read more

This place was ok and a bit overpriced for their underwhelming drinks. I ordered the Mango Grapefruit Boom, one of their most popular drinks, and it was fresh and creamy. We waited a while for our drinks to be made. Some people recommend preordering ahead of time. The parking lot also gets really busy especially on weekends. read more

Heytea - Mango Grapefruit Boom (left) & Brown sugar milk tea (right) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Every time we drive past by HeyTea ever since grand opening a few months ago, we always saw a line, so we decided to wait for the hype to die down a bit before trying. My sister and I came on a Friday night around almost 8pm, which there were still some people waiting for their drinks. Thankfully we didn't have to wait because we placed a mobile order on their app beforehand so once we told the staff our order number we quickly got our drinks that were already on their cart. We ordered the mango grapefruit boom (what I got), crisp grape boom, and the supreme matcha latte. The interior is nice and minimalistic. The mango grapefruit boom was pretty good, I liked the toppings at the bottom, though I mostly tasted sago and not much of the coconut milk jelly. The mango smoothie itself was fresh and had a good sweetness to it that paired well with the coconut milk. However, I'm not sure if it was because I got it through mobile ordering or not enough ice was blended, but it wasn't slushy enough. It tasted mostly like just juice to me. On the other hand, the crisp grape boom had a good slush consistency so maybe it was the ice. I liked the tiny bits of real grape at the bottom so it was pretty easy to sip it. Both smoothies were good, but I definitely prefer the mango and I can see why it's popular despite mine not being exactly a smoothie. The supreme matcha latte was alright, I can tell it was good quality and it was creamy, but for me it might have needed a bit more milk since it had a slightly bitter aftertaste. Overall, I am hesitant to say it was worth the hype, but I did enjoy finally trying it and didn't have to wait. Not sure when I would come back again, but I definitely am curious about their other smoothies like the yumberry or mulberry strawberry. And I would recommend ordering on the mobile app so you don't have to wait as long. read more

Heytea took over the spot where Yifang used to be, and to say we were devastated when Yifang closed is an understatement. After reading some of the mediocre reviews, my husband and I were expecting to be sorely disappointed with the drinks here, but we were pleasantly surprised at how delicious and fresh all the drinks have been! Heytea is definitely one of our favorite drink places now and we are beyond OBSESSED! Between the two of us, we've tried the mango grapefruit boom (my husband's favorite), strawberry boom (my favorite), grapefruit boom, grape boom, passion fruit blast, and coco water jasmine (their current collab with vita coco). I didn't think it would be possible to top Yifang's mango pomelo sago, but this place does such a good job and the quality is more consistent compared to Yifang. I love the strawberry because it's just SO light and refreshing, and it tastes so fresh and not artificial. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the fruit booms! All their drinks are perfectly sweetened and refreshing. The drinks are amazing, but more than half the times we've been here, picking up our drinks has been super chaotic and disorganized (which I think a lot of Yelpers have docked them stars for). From what we've observed, the drinks are actually made super quickly, but the workers let the drinks start piling up and don't seem to have an efficient way to distributing them. Definitely keep an eye for your drinks because you may have to ask for them, lol. I also highly recommend using the app to order your drinks too, because the interior of the store is pretty small and can get pretty cramped and busy inside. If fruity drinks are your jam, definitely give this spot a try! read more

My first time at HeyTea & I totally get the hype, especially for their Coconut Mango Bloom!! I usually don't like coconut drinks but this actually surprised me! Same with the Cloud Coconut Blue ~ not too strong nor too sweet but matcha itself was kinda lacking. Def gonna give it a second chance as my friend swears by it tho. Overall solid boba spot I can see myself frequenting :-) read more

Pat helped us out and recommended the new magnolia tea. Its really good and has a unique flavor! Highly recommend this flavor and location read more

I was really excited to try this place out due to all the hype and it did NOT disappoint! Our order took less than 5 mins on a Tuesday evening. The cashier and other back staff members were super friendly and welcoming. I got the grape bloom & mango coconut bloom and both were amazing. The mango coconut bloom is now my new favorite drink. 11/10 i highly recommend it. read more

Heytea - Grape and Mango Bloom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

I love Heytea, which seems to have many locations all around the world as I see them around wherever I travel. Love their mango drinks which is pretty much like the classic Hong Kong dessert with a straw. The tea is also very fragrant here which you can smell the moment you enter their shop! read more

Heytea is one of the top milk teas shops and they have a unique menu. A few drinks they have in their menu are not found in other regular tea shops. Yes it's a little pricey but they charge for the premium ingredients they use. Service is great and this spot is mainly a take out spot so no seating area. Tried their mango coconut and it was really good and well balanced. They have an app you can place orders through and collect reward points. Try this place out atleast once. read more

If you're a fan of refreshing, fruity drinks, Hey Tea is definitely worth checking out. Their menu offers a variety of beverages that can be enjoyed either iced or as a slush, making it easy to customize your drink depending on your mood. My favorite is the Mango Grapefruit Boom Slushie. It's a perfect blend of sweet mango and tangy grapefruit, offering a vibrant, tropical flavor that is both refreshing and satisfying. The slush texture adds an extra level of fun, making it the ideal choice for a hot day or when you're in the mood for something cool and fruity. They use real fruit and good quality ingredients. read more

Heytea - left and right: mango grapefruit boom middle: grape boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

The line is always really long so we ordered through the app which is really easy if you use ApplePay. When we got there, it was really busy so you kinda have to squeeze through the crowd waiting for their drinks to get to the counter. Other than the crowd, really easy to pick up! I got the Coconut Mango Boom which is really nice! I love how the slushie is a tea slushie. Can't really go wrong with a mango and coconut combination with sago, chefs kiss! The drinks are kinda on the higher end for a boba shop in OC, but definitely a special treat spot for me treat myself with! read more

Pretty good boba shop in OC. Been here a few times already and usually not too busy compared to other boba shops in the area. Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was about a 15 minute wait. Mango coconut boom doesn't disappoint. Would recommend read more

Heytea - Coconut mango boom and coconut mango blue - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

Hyped boba tea chain that is expensive ($7ish) and lacking in fruity flavors. Lines are long but you can download their mobile app and order ahead of time. Takeout only. No tables to chill at. There is a tiny waiting area with four seats if you get tired of standing. With all the other boba options around, I won't be back. read more

Okay. I've tried so many other bubble tea franchises and Hey Tea is hands down the best I've ever had! I can't explain it. Maybe it's just more freshly made? The pearls are incomparable to other places too! There is a reason why there's a long line at this business, not just here but also all the Hey Teas in NYC. I am originally from the east coast and planned to visit a friend in Orange County. When I found out she lived near a Hey Tea, I made it mandatory for us to grab some during my visit haha. It's just so good. Honestly, everything just tastes great, but definitely include pearls in your drink if you are trying it for the first time. You won't be disappointed. Parking is right out front! Plenty of it as it is in a shopping plaza. read more

Went about an hour before closing time and they were still pretty busy. It didn't take too long to place our orders up front. Waited about 15-20 mins for our order and found out they got our order wrong. I ordered green tea with matcha cloud hot but they gave me an iced one. The drink was okay with good tea flavor, but it didn't stand out personally. Biggest downside was the pick up area is super crowded and they don't have an organized way for pick up orders. You kind of have to crowd up to the counter and try to spot your drink or listen for the number as it's ready. They had a bunch of drinks ready to be picked up but the system wasn't working because you don't know when your drink is ready if you wait outside. Not very efficient for the volume of orders they get (online and in store). read more

Everything, but super long line and wait. Just order on screen in advance then grab errands and return back! We got coconut mango boom with boba, & the triple matcha supreme iced. read more

Fresh tasting, fruits in the drink are fresh and doesn't taste artificial. Drink made pretty quickly, order to pick up was less than 2 minutes. Have to say, it's pretty darn good! I'm a fan now. read more

Drink was good (not outstanding) but also hard for me to gauge because the line was ridiculous. I went on a Sunday evening thinking the line wasn't bad, only to late realize that their board with the names/order #s didn't seem to work well -- there must have been a lot of orders because they weren't showing new/all the order #s. I had the mango drink, and I'm not sure how long it might've been in the pickup area but i expected it to be colder or more refreshing. The wait might've made me biased, but hard to say I'd go back again unless I hear their ordering and pick up system has significantly improved read more

My group was surprised to find out the drinks at Hey Tea taste amazing! We were intimidated by the line out the door and didn't plan to order anything, however, we stuck it out and were glad we did. We tried some popular items like the Mango Grapefruit Boom, Coconut Mango Boom, and their Matcha Zen and Matcha Jasmine Tea. All were solid choices and their matcha is good quality too. To help with order pick ups, they call out your number on the receipt and have a screen in the store, but I felt I respond more to the number being called out. Surprisingly the matcha drinks were my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the other choices too. Really huge on natural ingredients and high quality ones too, so I really liked Hey Tea! Service was fast once the drink orders were placed. read more

Absolutely terrible experience at this location. My gf and I drove to this location which was half an hour, waited over 20 minutes in the regular line while customers in front of us argued about their orders. When we finally got to the front, one of the associates waved us off and told us to go back in line to use the self-service kiosk something that should've been communicated to all of us in line much earlier. We weren't about to wait another 15-20 minutes just to place an order and then wait another 25-30 minutes for the drinks to be made based on the 65+ pending drinks on their screen. That's over an hour for a tea shop visit which is completely unacceptable. Customer service here is disorganized and dismissive. They cannot handle normal situations with ordered. The LA location was far more professional and efficient. Heytea Irvine seriously needs to fix their line management system and show some respect to customers who have already waited patiently. Avoid this location unless you enjoy being ignored, waiting in line, and wasting your time. read more

We went on a Saturday around 3 pm and it took us about 45 minutes to get our drink because online ordering was disabled. There would be barely any line if they had enabled online ordering on that day. The crisp grape boom is really refreshing. I never had drink like this elsewhere. I ordered it with minimal sweet and it is the perfect amount of sweet for me. I like how it contains real grapes inside. The matcha bobo coconut was mid. I also ordered it with minimal sweet and it lacks a bit flavor. For some reasons all the flavors didn't complement well with each other. However, I like the toppings inside. read more

This was the third time we stopped by for drinks. This time we ordered through their App. The estimated ready time was unreliable. It said our order would be ready in 13mins. Guess how long it took? Over 35mins!! Their staffs were working as fast as they could. It's really not their fault, it's the system/App they design to estimate the ready time. Hope they do Something about it. read more

Obsessed with the Mango Sago Coconut! I tried the Mango Sago Coconut drink at HEYTEA and I was instantly hooked. It's the perfect combo of creamy, fruity, and refreshing -- not too sweet, just super smooth and satisfying. The chunks of mango and the sago pearls give it that perfect texture. No joke, I came back three times because I couldn't stop thinking about it. If you're a mango lover (or just want something different from the usual milk tea), this one's a must-try. Easily one of my favorite drinks this summer! read more

Loved the cloud coconut blue! I've never had matcha and coconut together - pretty solid combo!! Refreshing and light but still creamy. The matcha isn't as strong as other places, but I like it with a foam, jelly, boba for a light treat. I do wish there was a menu hanging up in the store and not just on the tablet when you're ordering - you can't decide what you're getting until you're up there and there's a whole line behind you. read more

Went around 11:15am for the buy one get one free drink deal. Online advertisements didn't specify that the deal only applied to the dark chocolate tiramisu drink. On top of that they said they can't substitute the milk with non-dairy option basically eliminating it as an option....ordered a brown sugar milk boba with oat milk. After waiting 20 mins was told they are out of oat milk and can't substitute it with any other nondairy milk option. They said we could pick another drink, but only other options cost less than what we paid...pretty sure we wont be back and I would recommend avoiding if you need or prefer nondairy options read more

If you're into high-quality tea and aesthetic vibes, Heytea is absolutely worth the visit. I finally stopped by and now fully understand why this brand has such a massive following--this isn't your average boba shop. Right off the bat, the ambiance is sleek and modern, with clean lines, cool lighting, and that minimalist "luxury tea bar" energy that makes you feel like you're about to sip on something fancy. Ordering is streamlined through a digital system, but service can take a bit during a busy afternoon rush. I went with one of their signature drinks (Cheese Foam series fans, this is your paradise), and the quality was obvious from the first sip. The tea base was fragrant and complex, not overly sweet, and you could actually taste the brewed tea--a rare thing in the boba world. The cheese foam was rich, lightly salted, and perfectly balanced the drink without being too heavy. They offer plenty of customization options for sweetness, ice, and toppings, and everything from the cups to the straws to the little details felt premium. You really do get what you pay for. Also a shoutout to their fruit teas, which are refreshing and packed with fresh fruit--definitely not syrupy or artificial tasting. In short, Heytea nails the balance between flavor, presentation, and experience. Whether you're a hardcore tea enthusiast or just someone looking for a solid drink upgrade, this place delivers. read more

If you are craving for a good mango drink - please give this place a try. I have tried both their coconut mango boom and coconut mango blue. BOTH WERE DELICIOUS. Both not too sweet and had actual chunks of mango in them. The ladies at the register were also very sweet and polite. The inside smells lovely like jasmine. Drinks also came out pretty fast. Place is a little small but you can also wait outside for your drinks. There is a screen that displays the status of your drink to the right of the register. **My only micro complaint is that I wish they would display the menu bigger towards the top instead of right in front of the register. When you're in line, it's hard to decide which drink you want when the people ahead of you are blocking the menu. When you do get to the front it is kind of stressful selecting a drink quickly read more

I expected better because I saw this place blowing up on Instagram. I was sadly let down service wise and taste. The worker that took my order looked like she didn't want to be there and was so busy with to-go orders, so I just stood there twiddling my thumbs. Not even a "I'll be right with you", she didn't even acknowledge me. Drinks were mediocre at best read more

Heytea - coconut mango boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - Irvine, California

If any of y'all were around when this first opened, you would know that there was a huge line out the door. ITEMS I TRIED: - Grape Cloud: it was pretty good. The creamy cloud on top with the fruity grape flavor paired well. Nice and refreshing drink! PARKING: it's in the Jeffrey Plaza, which is pretty busy a lot of times. PRICE: I think this is where I dock the points. For $10 per drink, I'm going to expect something that blows my mind. It didn't do that. Overall, I think it was good to experience once but unless the price is different, then I probably wouldn't go back. It's probably the high rent that they have to charge so much per drink, but there are plenty of Irvine boba shops that I'd rather just go to another. read more

Whoa this place was crowded! You order on one kiosk and there are so many options it's pretty overwhelming. The line does move fast so it's not too bad of a wait. There's no dine-in area, just pick up and go. We got the Grape Boom which was refreshing and had grape bits. I'd say it's on the more expensive side but they are using fresh fruit. Worth a try! read more

i'm so glad this place opened in irvine and was very excited to give it a try! i ordered two fruit drinks and 2 milk drinks and they were all pretty good and i would say they taste less heavy than most boba places! i loved the matcha so much!! i rlly like the cheese foam on top and you can really taste the quality and layer of the matcha. the brown sugar milk tea was really good and not overly sweet. the grape and coconut mango were also super refreshing and i enjoyed drinking them * zen matcha 5/5 * coconut mango 4.5/5 * cheese grape boom 4.5/5 * brown sugar boba milk tea 5/5 read more

Honestly, best matcha I have had in a while. The only reason why I deducted a star was because I waited 45 minutes for my drink. I would say it is worth it though if you have the time to wait. The drinks and one if a kind and pretty good. The matcha was creamy and the perfect sweetness. read more

Got here 10 minutes before opening and there were already people inside. Fine, no problem. But there app doesn't allow you to order until store is open-understandable. However, it was 11:01 and the app still said store closed. Then they told people to use the kiosk. Okay. Then a gentleman opened the register since the app STILL wasn't working. Great-except my discount code only works through the app apparently. Bummer. Then the guy at the register does something that delays the payment, so it doesn't go through, it had timed out. I finally get the payment issue fixed and now my order is behind a whole bunch more people than it should have been. Not a good first impression. Get it together Heytea read more

We got here right at opening and there was only one person in line ahead of us. However, we did notice a lot of people would just order on the app or online? Overall, I just don't get the hype. We've driven by this location numerous times and there's always been a line. When there wasn't, we finally thought, yeah , let's check it out! The drinks are expensive - like $8 a drink? They tout themselves for having fresh ingredients and being "better". There was nothing special about the drink. Drinks took a long time to come out and they did not taste superb, wow or anything that was super high quality. This place is a pass from me. Cannot recommend it. read more

The mango grapefruit drink is one of a kind and I've never had anything like it. Definitely order it with crystal Boba if you want a great chewy drink. The blend of the tarte grapefruit, and the sweet mango was in my mouth. I've also also tried the mango only version of it and it's equally as good. It has mango chunks so delicious. Definitely get crystal Boba. The line can be quite long here so either order online or prepare for a little bit of a wait. read more

Coconut mango boom 4/.5/5: If youre a fan of mango sticky rice, you would like this drink too. There's real mango and the stringiness of the mango is prominent! Boba milk tea 5/5: got 50% sweet and the added sugar of the boba gave it the perfect amount of sweetness. The boba heightens this drink to new levels, super soft but also chewy. Had the perfect texture. The place was small and there is a self check out line and a line where you can order with an actual person. The drinks came out super fast, waited less than 5 minutes even for being super crowded! read more
