    Tried the triple matcha latte and the cloud matcha and they were both ok. I went on 2 separate occasions. Came at 11, 2nd person to order.. i placed an order for 3 drinks. It took about 15 minutes for the first person to get their drinks and about 20 minutes for mines.. i dont know if its worth waiting this long for a drink.. saw 3 different cars get pulled over by the time my drinks were ready. Matcha not strong because i fell asleep. Also, 1 of the workers wasnt really working. I saw her on the phone just staring at it, took a random picture, walked away and continued texting away or something else while the other 3 were working. It was the angry looking one with the triple chin. Not sure if id come back. Ill only get a drinj if my friend offers though.

    Coconut mango boom

    Stopped by quickly to grab a drink and I parked right outside on Atlantic. Neglected to order ahead so ordered with staff and it didn't take too long to get the drink. You can also use the kiosk to order. They'll call out the number when your drink is ready and they do check receipts to match up your number. Definitely a grab-and-go place as there's no seating. I usually get the Coconut Mango Boom, which is essentially mango sago in drink form. It's delicious and refreshing. Will return to try the Crisp Grape Boom, which seems to be another favorite.

    This Heytea location is very small and located on the perimeter of Atlantic Times Square/across the street from Courtyard by Marriott. There is 1 self order kiosk on the left and just a counter for ordering/picking up drinks. No tables and it can get cramped and crowded when busy. I recommend ordering beforehand to pick up. I've tried their crisp grape boom and kale boost tea. I've never had a bad drink from them. I highly recommend their fruit drinks, it's super refreshing and they use real fruit.

    My first time trying heytea was during the World Cup promotion, while they were giving away free team magnets for purchases of two drinks. I love the idea of the promotion, because I would never order two drinks for myself, but that came at a price. The competition for tea shops is high in this area. I ordered the Jasmine milk tea and the King Jasmine guava. Apparently, this tea shop is known for fruit teas. The wait was long at opening. I can't blame this shop for the long queue, considering how cute the magnets were. From 11 AM. I waited behind about 15 people. It took about 30 minutes for it to reach my turn, and another 10 to get my drink. I did have a major issue, with two different orders, where the screen dictated both numbers, but when I came to the front to get my order, the staff said it wasn't there, when it was just in front of me. The second order, same thing happened, the drink was in front of me, and the staff said it wasn't there. If I did not insist on looking for them, I don't know how long I would be waiting for? The jasmine milk tea was not that special? Especially for $7.50? I don't know whether I can blame the staff either, considering how they were under a lot of pressure from this promotion. I would love to say the root cause is management not supporting their staff appropriately.

    First place i tried grape with tea! Def set the standard high for other boba shop. Love heytea so much! All their drinks are always so yummy

    Crisp Grape Boom
    Cody P.

    The Monterey Park HeyTea is by far my favorite HeyTea in Southern California. Picking up your order is seamless. Performance is consistent. The workers are professional and efficient. I had an especially wonderful experience at this HeyTea today thanks to a worker named Yichun. Yichun was very helpful in helping me navigate the HeyTea app to use my Sparks to apply rewards to my order. She was so cheerful and happy to help. She also helped me get Sparks on my friends' orders as well (since they didn't want their points hehehe). There was no wait tonight, so we got our drinks immediately handed to us by Yichun as well. She also complimented my custom Doraemon sticker that I drew using the HeyTea app! The drinks, of course, are amazing. My personal favorite drink EVER is the Crisp Grape Boom, a delicious blend of jasmine green tea and grape juice that is miraculously only 120 calories! Every component in the drink is very well balanced. The slush is cold and refreshing without diluting the flavor. The sweetness of the grape juice complements the soft, floral jasmine tea in such an addicting way. And the pieces of grape at the bottom provide a satisfying "crisp" crunch! Recently, I've also really liked the King Jasmine Guava. The drink is incredibly fragrant. You get a punch the lime zest aroma simply by picking up the cup. You take a sip and are plunged into the sweet salted cheese cloud before breaking through to the wonderfully ripe guava drink, all the while being enveloped in their nine-scented King Jasmine Tea. Sweet, cheesy, ripe, complex, and fragrant. I almost feel bad drinking it because it feels like I'm cheating on the Crisp Grape Boom. And yes, it is that deep. And no, I am not exaggerating about anything. I love the Monterey Park HeyTea so much. Great vibes.

    Ordered the Cloud Coconut Blue which has a coconut milk base, blue spirulina, and cloud cream topping. It's a light and refreshing drink with creamy coconut milk that is pronounced and pleasant when mixed with the salty cream topping. Very simple shop with a digital kiosk to order or you can order from one of the major food apps. The service was really quick with the drink ready to go. There is free parking underneath the plaza and some limited free street parking. It's an addition to the neighboring milk tea scene.

    new smaller cups
    Brian N.

    The drinks are still really good. They have new smaller cups... There was this one day where their internet was down so they couldn't take orders. So the lady in front told us to order on the app. Which we did.. so we walked to Daiso while we waited for about 10 minutes and when we went back she just told us that the internet was still down.. Which I was so confused about because she told us to order on the app but either way .. what did the internet have to do with making my drinks. But I just said okay. I would check in every 10-15 minutes and every time I walked up to the store she would hide her face with her hands. I was a bit annoyed because I had already paid for my drinks and I waited patiently for almost an hour, I'm not sure what the internet being down had anything to do with making my drinks. After an hour, I ended up just asking for a refund. Definitely expect a wait when you want to get a drink here but the quality is good. I think they have other locations, which I probably will try out to see if they have better service.

    Grape cloud with Boba

    I loved Heytea when I had it in China, it was one of my favorite tea spots. I'm glad they brought it to the US, but to be honest it's not quite the same. It still helps cure the craving, but the tea flavor doesn't feel as strong as I remember. Best way to order is through the app if you want to avoid the long lines. Also note most drinks don't come with boba by default, so you'll have to add it as a topping. Some drinks I've liked so far are the Kale Boost tea, the Yingde milk tea with mochi, and the guava tea. Overall they're good, just not as memorable as the ones I had in China. It is on the pricier side, but I guess that's the cost if you want that Heytea fix.

    Coconut mango boom
    Timothy Spencer T.

    TLDR: Some things you just can't have enough of. It's the best mango drink I've had in the US, and the brand is yet to let me down. Coconut Mango Boom: The main problem living on the West Coast is that the mangos are just bland. The occasional mango drink purchased in other locations just tastes like syrup. HeyTea is the first establishment that made the drink taste like the mangoes found in Southeast Asia. Do they use a specialized syrup? Maybe. Do I care? No. The mango taste is as good as it gets, and the coconut adds a layer to keep things dynamic. HeyTea also gives an option to add tea (surprise) into the drink. This tea adds another layer of fragrance and taste complexity, which I really enjoy. Service: It takes a while for them to finish the drink because of high foot traffic. Order via mobile. Ambiance: It's only a to-go spot. The place is big enough to order via kiosk, and the rest of the customers wait outside.

    Coconut Mango Boom
    Allen L.

    I've been to maybe a dozen Heytea locations. Their drinks are always outstanding and consistent. The stores smells wonderful and always clean. Their service is always exceptional and efficient. This location is no exception. My favorite drink is the Coconut Mango Boom and is at the top of my list for all time favorite bevs. I order on the app and can always expect how long to wait because it tells you your estimated wait time and how many drinks ahead. When I went to pick up my drink, their quality control is very apparent, with the friendly staff telling me to be sure to start drinking it within the first three minutes. Never an issue for me because I can't help but scarf down the entire drink immediately.

    King guava jasmine milk tea
    Karina C.

    At this point Heytea and long wait lines go together, so visit at your own discretion! They are extremely understaffed but I occasionally still return because I really enjoy their drinks. At least the neighborhood seems quiet and safe for people to wait around outside the store. This time I tried their new King Guava jasmine milk tea which was fragrant with flavors that were delicious and unique.

    Karen L.

    Very solid tea. The kiosk makes it extra easy to order there, with the usual custom options like less sugar etc. I got a jasmine milk tea, which the jasmine really stood out to my surprise. My fiance liked his mango tea and it makes for a prettier option since the milk teas are more in a covered cup than a clear cup. They were very quick with the orders too, despite a lot of pick-ups for delivery. Maybe a 5 min wait on a Saturday. The shop isn't very big though with zero seating, so just grab and go as you are shopping or wandering the area. The tea is pretty good, so I can see myself back if I'm in the area!

    Do they accept cash?

    Yes, they do. I paid with cash and it they did accept it as a payment option. They did give me quarters as my change instead of bills even though I noticed they did have one-dollar bills, but I just assumed it was because they may have more coins.

A special shout-out to Mavis, who was incredibly patient with our indecisive group, especially while we were managing kids. I followed her recommendation and ordered the Iron Buddha Oolong (70% sweet). One sip confirmed it was much too sweet for my taste--honestly, like eating a slice of Costco birthday cake! My friends mentioned that the staff is great about adjustments, so I went back to the counter, and they were more than happy to fix it for me. Lesson learned: I'll definitely be ordering 50% sweetness or less moving forward, as these drinks are quite rich. I would definitely come back to try more of their menu. It's refreshing to visit a business that is truly customer-driven and willing to help you find the perfect drink, even when the initial choice was my own oversight. Thanks for the great service, Formosa Aroma!

I was the only one there so took maybe only about 2 minutes to come out. Both the tea and the jelly had a very strong tea flavor, which is what I prefer, which is why I usually reduce the amount of sweetness in all my drinks. It's definitely different with the jelly instead of the boba I usually get, but it's a nice change. Contact was very minimal since you order at the kiosk first and the only human interaction is when they bring out your order to you. I think for the size that you get it was pretty pricy, but it's definitely slightly different from your typical boba shop. If I happen to be at this same 99 Ranch again I'd stop by for a treat, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The lot itself doesn't really have enough parking spots available for the 4 or 5 businesses that are in this little plaza. My husband and I have been to the location in Arcadia a few times and decided to check out this location since we were in the area. We came here last Saturday night and ordered our drinks at the kiosk (not sure if you are order with an employee or not, but the 2 employees we saw behind the counter seemed busy working on drinks, since their backs were towards us). We ended up ordering: Purple Rice Drink, $5.95- My husband ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I didn't have any but he thought it was just fine and enjoyed it. But the size was rather small. Osmanthus Rice Milk Tea $6.75 + Large Size $0.75- I ordered this drink to be made with no ice and 25% sweetener. I was disappointed with this drink because the tea was overstepped. Quite a shame because that bitter taste lingered and had a weird after taste with the osmanthus (which is a flower). But the osmanthus flavor seemed a little artificial (I really like osmanthus and usually like to order it at tea houses so I am familiar with the taste). This drink did not taste good. ----------------------------- (Total= $13.45) Wait time was a little after 10 minutes. There wasn't really much interaction with the employees. The staff just placed our drink on the counter and called out the drink order number and then my husband walked up to the counter to get it. You had to get your own straw, which is right by the area where you pick up the drinks. I really don't see myself coming back to this location and probably won't be going back to BenGong's Tea in general anytime soon (the last time we went to the Arcadia location, my drink was also over steeped).
