    Hey Tea is good for the fruit tea, but honestly, they have a serious backup at the counter when trying to pick up orders. There's not enough space on the monitor to show all the numbers so the person doing the final touches keeps getting interrupted by people asking about their orders. They need better organization.

    black milk tea with boba and matcha with cheese foam
    Amie S.

    Stopped by Hey Tea while in the area and it was the best decision my friend and I made before hitting the subway. My milk tea with boba was just perfect. They automatically selected lower sugar for the drink (the perfect option) and a great flavor. The matcha was also lovely. Our drinks came out within 5-10 minutes and we were on our way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There isn't any sit down space, so you'll need to bring your drink to go![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Coconut mango boom

    Coconut mango boom $7- always so good, fresh, sweet, mango, coconut is pretty good too, sago is good consistency, hard to mix with the straw tho

    I walk past Heytea all the time and decided that a friend and I should go in for a matcha and a mango tea. I had the mango tea, and it was made with real fruit that was very chunky and liquefied at the same time. I didn't try the matcha, but my friend assured me that it was good. She tried my drink, and we agreed on the taste. This place is more pricey than I thought for what you're getting, but it is a tourist destination, so the price goes toward paying the employees and rent. As far as service, it was relatively so-so -- I waited like 10 minutes to get my tea. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is pretty crowded. This place gets crowded a lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Other tea spots that I know of in Queens and Brooklyn are relatively faster. I understand this is Midtown, so you know the service will be packed, but there's no way to properly sit down. You'd probably have to sit across the street where there are public seats. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In terms of the place itself, you can count out indoor sitting -- it's not available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Coco-Foam Matcha Oat Latte and Matcha Boba Coconut
    Angelica L.

    Rating: 3.8/5 [take out] HEYTEA was running a BOGO deal on their matcha coconut drinks, so we had to stop by on our way to lunch. They had three options: Matcha Boba Coconut, Coco-Foam Matcha Oat Latte, and Cloud Coconut Blue. Unfortunately, they were out of boba by the time we arrived, but we went ahead and ordered anyway. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is small and pretty busy, with some people waiting outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Despite the crowd, the drinks came out pretty fast (less than 10 minutes). Matcha Boba Coconut ($7.99): Really good! The coconut milk jelly was sweet and tasty, and the drink itself was refreshing on a hot day. Would recommend. Coco-Foam Matcha Oat Latte ($7.99): A miss for me. It tasted watered down and wasn't sweet, so I was only able to drink half of it. To be fair, the ice and foam melted on our walk to Bryant Park which is probably why it was watered down.

    Milk Tea (Original)

    Best boba ever. There is supposedly a hype about HeyTea in New York, and I can see why. Their boba's are spectacular! I've never finished a large thing of boba on my own so fast, or daydreamed about it back at home from visiting. HeyTea is a busy boba place. What I love about them is that their worker waits for you in front of the line to take your order (not behind the counter). It almost feels more personal, and they are super friendly about helping you make your choice. When I thought about switching my drink (because one original boba had like 800 calories!), the worker explained I can get it without sugar and it'll still taste good for fraction of the calories. Boy, was he right! My friend got their Jasmine tea, and that was probably the best drink there. And the good thing is that there is HeyTea back at home in OC! Thank you, HeyTea NY, I will be back next time!

    I think the evolution of bubble tea is FASCINATING. I am in awe of this place and want to go back (please open one in Chicago!) This is not your powder-mix bubble tea spot (tbt to the early 2000s) or even kung fu tea (I mean, I used to call it Tapioca bubbles). I haven't craved milk tea in a long time because I'm only exposed to these types of places, but I'm so glad I tried Heytea! The whole operation is cool to watch - the cashier was so friendly and explained each drink to us - and the assembly of the teas were so efficient. We got the coconut mango boom and the matcha cloud coconut blue, and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD. There were pieces of mango and coconut respectively in our drinks - it was so refreshing to have on a hot NY day. Pro tips: -Even at 0% sweet, the matcha cloud coconut blue was sweet, so I'd recommend lowering the sugar content

    3.5 / 5.0 - I tried HeyTea for the first time earlier this month and became so hooked I had to go again. This was my first time at this Broadway location, near the Times Sq - 42 St station and Bryant Park. There was no seating inside, with just a small standing area for order pick-up. You can order at the counter, on their kiosk or online. At this location, the staff was not very friendly and did not seem to be interested in taking orders. I was ordering on the kiosk so it was ok, but they didn't give the best impression. The drink itself was delicious--I ordered the Supreme Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea ($7.99+), with less ice and less sugar, which was still pretty sweet. Based on the service, this wouldn't the first location I'd choose for HeyTea, but if you're just picking up your order and don't care about the service, maybe it's ok.

    Coconut mango bloom
    Caroline O.

    IMO, worth the hype. I love coconut mango bloom. They always have deals so try it whenever there's a deal but beware of the wait whenever there are deals.

    coconut mango boom  coconut blue cloud
    Joann S.

    This line is never as long as the one near Herald Square, thankfully! The drinks are just as good though. Coconut mango boom I would not recommend getting below 70% btw! It's good but not great like it usually would be. Blue matcha (or coconut) cloud was so good! The matcha cream was such an interesting take but it paired really well with the coconut milk.

    Jasmine milk tea less sugar for some reason

    I just had an awful experience here. I waited in the line, tried to order the most basic milk tea which somehow they were out of midday on a Saturday. So I order the jasmine tea and ask for boba which somehow a bubble tea place runs out of boba?? So I pick up my drink and see a bunch of different drinks with boba so I ask the other girl and she says they aren't out of boba..... I ask her if she can simply add boba to my drink and she goes "you'd have to get back in line which was out the door. Absolutely unacceptable will not be back. Also girlie thought I must need to lose weight cause when I said I'd take it regular she gave me my order with less sugar

    Overall: A // 5 stars Updating this review for Times Square location to give a more accurate reflection. My comments about the Mango Grapefruit boom is still valid in that there's too much content in it such that it's not a good drink. However, literally any other drink on their menu is much better including these two new ones. (Obviously, the Mango Coconut Boom is still great.) (Crisp Grape Boom: A+) - Great drink adapted from their pop up menu that is unique and not offered by rival chains. Love the usage of grapes from the juice to the topping that makes this a very nice drink in a way that differs from the beloved Mango Coconut Boom. (Hot Jasmine Tea: B) - Sometimes you just want a hot tea and its great they offer this option quite cheaply. It does take much longer to make since drinks are made in batches, and the tea is put in their plastic cup, which is not ideal, but its better than not having it offered like some other shops. Food: +2 Presentation: +1 Price: E Atmosphere: E Service: E Menu: +1 Overall: Insta/Yelp/Beli/TikTok: @amei_eats

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place in someways feels like a lab crossed with a coffee shop, plus I saw two employees wearing what looked like lab coats, so I get that vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus the vials of tea leafs and blends reminded me of pot shop in a way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got crisp grape boom slushy, very fresh and not overly sweet, plus got love fresh crushed grapes at the bottom. Just a bit of advice don't do cash here, I paid with cash and man the guy behind the counter made a proformace of it.

No real interaction with the staff but they are efficient. Place is clean with some space for seating. Funny conversation to eavesdrop on but a couple was on a date and the girl was talking about her psychedelic experience doing mushrooms and an alien god judging her about her network of friends...I normally don't eavesdrop but couldn't help it in such a small sitting area

This location is accessible via A train at 42nd Street Port Authority. Upon arriving there was a woman in front of me arguing with the staff persistently haggling the price to be lowered, but to no avail. Woman, no means no! There are other bubble tea businesses within the locale that may appease your needs, but not this particular Gong Cha whom apologized for the inconvenience of the inability to lower the price on the product ordered. As I waited patiently, I took photos of this business' environment. The staff stated the cash register is not working and currently unable to accept either credit or debit cards, but cash only payments. Ergo, I was unable to obtain a sales receipt nor a drink label printed. I wonder if the staff reboot the register or check their internet connection to be offline as the cause of non-functioning O/O/O. [1] Customer service is average. Well... if the staff can lower the price for one customer why not lower it for ALL customers? Surely, why not make my drink order as inclusion for lowering the price, please? Hell no, of course not! The conclusion was ironclad. In the real world, this cannot happen. As I stood on line waiting for this woman to let go and walk away from her argument I had shrunk to my own gnawing thoughts. I took photos of the atmospheric environment. There is a cute signage: "Bubble tea where refreshment meets creativity." The pink metal water bottle is very adorably cute which is something that I would certainly purchase. Peach green tea, medium $7.25 My favorite default topping grass jelly (aka herbal jelly) loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my standard request for $0.75 which was good, but not served chilled. At 30% sugar level request, it was slightly higher in sugar content. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg would shake his head at me in disbelief with disapproval and disappointment for consuming this excessively sugary drink. The peach green tea was not the cause of the sweetness but a man-made sugar embed measurement error. Nevertheless, this Gong Cha satisfied my bubble tea fix as it is now my addiction - in addition to my other addiction, writing. [1] O/O/O = Out Of Order

Ahh, grass jelly loeng4 fan2 涼粉 is my childhood favorite dessert and summons nostalgia! It is my mission to search for bubble tea businesses that offers grass jelly as a topping for my primary reason to patronize. It was abundant which filled one quarter of my medium sized drink. The grass jelly topping is New York City standard priced at $0.50 at least there is sustainability and a sense of normalcy. I requested regular ice, but the entire ice dispensed disappointedly melted and the drink became room temperate. Heat wave medium $6.00 Passionfruit green tea with grass jelly, 50%, light sugar. The drink alone was good quality. While scanning the electronic menu the drink names appear very comical and not business appropriate as well as this bubble tea business name Ho Ho Te. The sound speakers is boisterously loud blasting music directly at my face by the ordering counter. The cashier associate was 90% inaudible of her customer service questions due to the boisterously loud blasting music as I had to fight loud vs. loud by blurting loudly several times: "WHAT?" Why would a business intentionally place sound speakers in front of a ordering counter station where customers must communicate their food/drink orders? How can customers place their drinks orders with clear specific description/instructions only for the cashier associate to inadvertently obfuscate by misinformation because the message conveyed was utterly misinterpreted? Communication is vital for ordering and order fulfillment accuracy in the food service industry! The cardboard paper straws available are environmentally sustainable friendly for biodegradable and compostable. However, these cardboard straws taste AWFULl!! The drink selection is very limited menu compared with other bubble tea competitors. Disappointedly there is no Jasmine green tea on the menu. There are some food items. Takeout menus are available for grabs. Loyalty card is available which also serve as business card where the back is printed in gold foil. This business is very accessible by MTA NYC Transit at Port Authority 42nd Street's A, C, E trains and buses near the peripheral of Times Square.
