OK SO I WOULD DETOUR EVERY TRIP NORTH WITH A STOP AT THE IRVINE LOCATION FOR THESE DRINKS. Now I get to detour every trip to Del Mar with a drink. Located in the highly coveted del mar highlands (across from one paseo). there's a plethora of shops/movies/eateries you can go to before or after you get your drink. I can at least for sure say, it's CONSISTENT with the other locations i've been to. drinks taste just as delicious. you can make things easier for yourself and preorder on the app before you get there. service was slooooow. they have a kiosk for you to order by yourself which seems like the only option to really order from. So when you get stuck behind people who don't know what they're doing, it's PAINFUL to watch. I wish their staff would be more open to taking orders at the cashier instead of just standing there. overall experience was fine, i think Irvine location was better though. read more

Heytea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

One of my favorite location here in SD. There's a ton of parking and it's easily accessible. Although, there is no seating inside, but plenty of seating outside. I love to do a mobile order to avoid the crazy wait times. They have a mobile pick up section at the front of the store. If you're planning on stopping by definitely preorder! The boba is always fresh. I like to get the brown sugar milk tea. It's not too sweet and made perfectly. My other go to is the Mango Coconut BOOM! This one is my favorite for wanting fresh fruit. It comes with coconut jelly and sago. read more

I always get the same thing when I go to Hey Tea - the Triple Supreme Matcha Latte + Sago, 70% sweet. Sago is just soooo satisfying. Not many boba places offer Sago, so I was really shocked to see it offered here. It's like super mini boba. similar texture and chew, maybe slightly softer? I love that this drink includes the matcha jelly. I will say the ordering process and picking up drink area feels a little messy/chaotic. The workers always seem a bit overwhelmed (sometimes the crowds in there look insane so it's understandable). The parking situation is not the worst here, but this plaza is always somehow really crowded. read more

After not wanting to wait 2 hours during the grand opening I finally got to try it. Not wanting to wait in line I placed an online order but it made me download the app to do so. We got the supreme brown sugar milk tea with boba and the cloud it came with. The drink itself was very rich and honestly just not my favorite, but was decent. For the price, I'm thinking this is a try it once and that's enough for me. read more

Heytea - supreme milk tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

The drinks at HeyTea are consistently delicious in the different cities I've had it and this location in Del Mar is no different. It's the only tea shop I'll consider ordering a fruit tea from and there's nothing that compares to their Coconut Mango Boom! The matcha is stellar too, and my favorite drink from theirs is the Triple matcha. My 3 stars is for the service, as this location compared to UTC allows for pick up orders. The staff look miserable and dread giving out pick up orders. The whole interaction with staff makes this tea shop possibly the worst one to visit. read more

Perfect. No notes. 5 stars all across the board. We came here for a sweet palette cleanser after dinner and oh my god...it was amazing. I love the minimalist vibe and the lack of visual "loudness" that comes with a lot of boba shops. Like it was positively underwhelming which I liked a lot. Servers were also friendly! The Mochi Yingde Black Tea might be one of my favorite (boba) drinks I've ever had. I didn't get a chance to try any matcha, but I know they'll be awesome and amazing and perfect--currently counting down the days til my next visit. read more

Heytea - Mochi yingde black milk tea & cloud mango - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I came by to see what the hype is all about and decided to check out Hey Tea at the Del Mar location which opened in August and their newest location just opened at UTC Their menu offers a wide variety from superfood / fruit tea, in season, matcha, and milk teas drinks to choose from. The staff was really helpful and informative. I ended up getting the Triple Supreme Matcha Latte for 7.99. It comes with Matcha jelly, matcha foam, and matcha mochi. The sweetness level starts at 75% and you can adjust it. Wow! It was super delicious. The size is rather on the smaller side but it's worth it. I'd definitely come back to try their coconut mango boom which is one of their popular drinks. Their space is nice and clean and seating are available outside. read more

Tried the supreme Brown sugar bobo milk, light sweet and no cloud yesterday and it was so good! Ordering was a breeze since they have a self-service kiosk and a QR code to order directly from your phone. The shop was running with just a two-person crew, but they had a great system going and handled everything efficiently. Located in Del Mar. Highly recommend stopping by! read more

Very yummy tea! Esp the mango coconut boom! I like how you can taste all the different flavors of the drinks. The blue matcha was not my fav since idk how I feel about coconut and matcha together. But loved the grape crush def a summer go to! Pls have more 1+1 event hehe The workers literally work 5x the speed. There is always rush but it just speaks for the taste of the product. Ambiance is cute but more of a Togo spot than a work/chilling place. Parking is hard to find whenever I am in this plaza always a bit busy. read more

Came on Saturday and it was crowded with an expected wait time of 30 min! We've been wanting to try for a while so we sat in the plaza. I like how they have a screen with order numbers of drinks that are ready so you don't always have to stand around waiting. They have online ordering which is what I'll take advantage of the next time I come. The drinks are reasonably priced considering most of them already come with toppings! I asked the girl what the difference between the coconut mango boom and coconut mango blue were and she said "they're different colors" so that's that haha. Only downside is there's no description of the drinks at all, you kinda just have to wing it. read more

Heytea - Coconut mango blue, coconut matcha blue - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Heytea won me over with their app and delicious coconut mango boom which is lactose free! I've heard good things about Heytea but their line is always insane. Turns out their app is amazing. It's not just your typical, order and pickup. It literally tells you how many drinks are in front of you and has a pretty accurate wait time. The wait time can be long and their could even be 30-50 drinks ahead of you! But don't worry, plan accordingly. I recommend placing your order about 25 minutes in advance so where ever you might be coming from, drop in that order. Then head over and your drink should be about done. Grape boom tea, coconut mango boom, and their mango grapefruit boom are all delicious. I agree with others that they need to work on their pick up line vs. ordering in person line. It's a tight space and despite the signage, it's actually not too clear. It can feel like you're cutting the line to pick up your drink when you aren't actually. Just ask around when you get into the store to see if the people are waiting to order or pick up. Should generally have plenty of parking. Even if it's busy, there's a parking garage. read more

I ordered using the app and the process was efficient. On the other hand, it took about half an hour to get my single beverage. My "coconut mango boom" beverage tasted naturally sweet. It was advised as vegan too. It lacked in sweetness though. The shop looked very modern and sleek but the employees didn't seem too happy. Maybe it was just a busy day. I would not say it is my favorite but I will give HEYTEA another try. read more

Came here with a friend and I saw that they were promoting a Wicked themed drink, which I was really intrigued about. Unsolicited advice, but I feel like their promo signage should have indicated what was in the drink because the store was barely open, and the workers were SWAMPED with another promo that was taking place that day. I can tell the customer service would have been good, had they not been so overwhelmed, but they were definitely operating under a just be efficient kind of service, which is fine. The Wicked matcha: A pink pomelo aroma cloud is naturally tinted with dragon fruit, no artificial color is used. 1000+ mesh matcha is blended with pomelo aroma juice. Black specks in the cloud are dragon fruit seeds This description was taken from their site, and I may be wrong, but I don't recall any dragon fruit seeds in my drink. Not that I minded either way. Overall, the drink was good, but nothing spectacular. read more

We decided to stop by here instead of omomo since we were in the area. We got the coconut mango blue and the crisp grape boom. I'd say they're probably not known for their fruit drinks as it was kind of mid. I got 50% less sweetness for the coconut mango blue and it was kind of left bland. Next time I would probably try their matcha, but knowing omomo is just around the corner it would be hard to come back to heytea. The store had an aromatic tea scent that hit you as soon as you entered. The worker was helpful too in giving us more information about the drinks. read more

It looks like we have a NorCal vs SoCal bubble tea shop battle brewing at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Heytea has opened in a suite just down the slope from an uber popular competitor that migrated south from Orange County a little over two years ago. This Del Mar location is the first one that has opened with another Heytea shop set to debut by the end of this year at the Westfield UTC Mall. From what I heard through a relative, this chain is quite popular up in the Bay Area. Based on the soft opening weekend a couple of months ago, what I saw was an unbelievably long line to cash in on their BOGO free drink promotion. The wait was at least two hours so I turned around and headed home because it was not worth the time. I returned on a weekday afternoon a few days later, and there was still a queue of about a dozen people when I arrived. The inside was small with no seating. The menu screen was only available at the service counter in front of the register. I think many customers ordered online to save time and to be able to view the selections more easily. Fruit teas made up over half of the choices which included categories like Matcha, Superfood Boost Tea, Tea Latte, and Bobo Milk Tea. The terms Boom and Cloud were used extensively. They referred to the slushy fruit base and cheese foam, respectively. Not being a fan of foam in my drinks, I chose the Mulberry Strawberry Boom and the Green Grape Boom for my order. About ten minutes later, the two cups were placed inside a takeout bag with a cardboard tray on the bottom as a holder. I found the flavors of both choices to be quite intense which was good. What was less impressive was how the tea flavor was overwhelmed by the fruitiness. If you are more of a tea purist, then maybe go with one of the jasmine tea varieties. There was only one cup size which I believe was 24 oz. The prices of the fruit teas were expensive as nearly all of them cost either $7.49 or $7.99. Add boba for $0.99, tax, and gratuity and the total for one drink was over $11. The staff was pretty proficient at assembling the drinks despite the high volume of business. My initial experience at Heytea was between a three and four star level. read more

I've been to Heytea several times, but haven't wrote a review since the first time I think. Overall, I enjoy their drink options as they differ from the other spots. What I think they can improve on is the area for pick up online orders. It's confusing because the sign is under the register, but most people come up from the left side of the sign. So maybe separating the in person ordering and pickup area/line would be best. Especially during busy times! Other than that, I think they are great at making the drinks in a timely manner especially during a rush! I love that they also accept cash payment. I feel Heytea is best for their $6.99, Coconut Mango Boom! (It's lactose free btw). It has fresh blended mango with sago and coconut milk jelly. It is refreshing when it's cold and is a great drink to get and put into the fridge. As nothing in it gets overly hard-- unlike your regular tapioca boba that is only good when it's warm/not in the fridge. & I did get the chance to try their Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba. I saw it on the counter and it looked so delicious so I ordered one for myself! I have tried only one other drink besides these two, it was good but not for me. It was the Mulberry Cloud Boom I think. I usually get less sugar or minimal sugar! read more

I was participating in a Yelp event close to this Heytea so despite being full AND having already gotten a fun beverage as part of the event, I had to stop by Heytea to try their new coconut menu. I came on a weekday when they just opened, so there was no line. However, there were plenty of online orders so there was still a bit of a wait. I ordered the Cloud coconut blue matcha, which came with coconut water, matcha cloud, and blue spirulina. It was so gorgeous and refreshing, I can tell they use high quality coconut water. It did not overpower the matcha, but rather imparted a savory, buttery taste that paired well with the earthy matcha. I am not sure what blue spirulina tastes like and I don't think I tasted it in this drink, but it looked pretty before I mixed it and I'm pretty sure it has nutritional value. I am really vibing with coconut water in my tea drinks, and can't wait to try some of Heytea's other coconut offerings next time! read more

Friendly staff and easy parking makes me want to visit here more than the other locations. Oh yeah. Also cuz it's not too crowded. Hey tea drinks are standard with the same menu worldwide it seems. Yummy as long as the wait isn't long. read more

Mango Coconut Blue: 4.5/5 Very not sweet and tastes like a more drink-ified Vietnamese che. It's very refreshing and balanced. I love all the textures and they work together well. Compared to a more traditional boba shop, this drink tastes and feels very intentional, a cultural shift I see with boba and tea shops happening. Ambiance: Cool and casual. Enjoy the vibe, the smells, the drink, and get out because it's small. Service: Fast but they have a lot of volume of drinks. Be kind to them, they're going through it. Parking: Big plaza but not a lot of parking. Be brave because the other people will actively try to hit you. read more

Update: After going in store to cancel, my card was still charged. A week later, I went through their live chat agent in-app to get a refund, and they said I'd receive my refund in 3-5 business days. Another week goes by, nothing. I go in store again during that week, and ask about it, cashier in front takes my phone number and tells me a manager would be in contact with me shortly. Fast forward another week, zilch. Honestly, if you need a refund from this place, just dispute it with your credit card issuer, saves you the time and trouble, this location obviously doesn't care about refunding their customers after their poor service. read more

The shop replaced another boba tea shop in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center plaza. Aesthetics are lacking at the grab-and-go shop and customer service in need of improvement probably. The menu was easy to read and categorized by Top Drinks, In Season, Matcha, Fruit Tea (choices in the many), Milk Tea, and even an interesting Superfoods section. I can't speak for their other options, but the JASMINE TEA I ordered with brown sugar boba (no up charge) and a cheese cloud (+$0.99) was simply OUTSTANDING. I mean, the shop did smell wonderful, fragrant jasmine wafting through the air. It came through powerfully in this drink, both in fragrance and lovely floral taste. They do remind me of another boba tea brand I had recently (Heyyy..Molly? fufufu). If it were not so far up North for me, it might be in the boba tea weekly rotation, but alas... read more

Solid new boba shop that gets busy on weekends, strongly recommend leveraging their app to order ahead! Their milk teas are alright and we've heard better things about their fruit teas. They also have alternative sugar options (sugar free sweetener) that might be preferable to some but we prefer real cane sugar. This shop mostly focuses on tea and every drink we've had was good didn't feel particularly unique or special. They do offer "boba" but it's not their forte and it's just alright. Overall, we'd prefer a boba shop that has solid milk teas AND boba toppings but our friends love HeyTea so we end up coming a lot just for the tea read more

HEYTEA @ DEL MAR Parking is free in their lot, and the shop is tucked inside a large plaza. It's definitely a place where you could spend the day since there are plenty of food spots, stores, and places to wander. My boyfriend brought me here after hearing it was a new competitor to OMOMO, another incredible boba spot located in the same plaza. I was excited to try it, especially after reading so many positive reviews. Walking in, though, I immediately noticed the space looked almost identical to OMOMO! It was clean, beige interiors, but no seating, just a trash can in the corner. There was also no greeting or acknowledgment from staff, and no visible menu. Customers had to wait in line and look at the menu only when they got to the cashier, which slowed the process down. When it was finally our turn, I asked the cashier for a recommendation. He suggested the Mango Coconut Drink, saying it was popular. Since I usually prefer fruit teas, I pointed out a tea option I saw on the menu, but he immediately said it wasn't available. Confusing, since it was clearly listed. I went with the mango drink anyway. The menu here is very different from a traditional boba shop, don't expect classics like black milk tea or mango green tea. Instead, the drinks lean more toward colorful, dessert-like creations that are beautiful but pricey. My boyfriend ordered the matcha drink, and we were surprised to see boba was an extra $0.99. I've always paid around $0.50, so the upcharge felt steep. For two drinks, we spent about $17. The drinks themselves were disappointing. My mango drink was more like a sugary dessert in a cup, heavy on jellies and toppings, but not refreshing like a typical fruit tea. My boyfriend's matcha drink was very thick, closer to a smoothie, and the flavor was overwhelmingly strong, likely because the matcha powder wasn't whisked properly. Overall, I wouldn't come back. This doesn't feel like a true boba spot. it's expensive, the drinks are more like desserts than tea, and the service lacked warmth or helpfulness. Even small things, like offering samples, highlighting popular drinks with a flavor description, or providing physical menus, would've made the experience better. read more

Heytea! This Chinese based tea shop opened in Del Mar about a month ago and every time I pass by, there's a line out the door...hey it's that popular! I learned about this brand when I received an invite to the shop they opened on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, but wasn't able to go. This shop is on the ground level and is easy access with plenty of free parking on the lot. This tea shop uses high quality ingredients to make tea drinks and they've popularized innovative tea creations like the cheese tea, which I haven't tried. I hate waiting in line for anything, so when I saw the option to order on their app and pick up when it's ready, I did that and didn't wait too long before my drinks were ready and even got a discount for doing that. The shop was clean and you can smell the tea scent in the air, very fragrant. There were lots of staffers behind the counter with specific duties and they seemed to fulfill orders within a reasonable timely manner. The female staffer who called my order was pleasant, helpful and diligently packed my drinks in nice togo bags. Sat outside the Adirondacks chairs and sipped each drink to savor individual differences. I liked both the mango and the matcha drinks, but preferred the later matcha with less contents. The mango grapefruit boom had too much boba, jelly and pulp to sip through the straw because it would get stuck. I sipped that while I had a spa mani pedi nearby and I felt too full to eat anything, so it's like a meal replacement smoothie. While it was filling, I was super thirsty afterwards and just wanted H20 :( I enjoyed the matcha bobo coconut for the stronger taste of the matcha was nice after the first sip, it didn't have too much content and made easier to sip through the straw. The menu had interesting other selections which I'm curious and interested in trying in the near future. But Hey, this tea shop had me the first sip, Heytea!! Recommend read more

This is one of the newer Boba shops that opened up in the Del Mar, Highlands Sky Deck area. I ordered the Kale Boost Tea and my daughter got the Mango Grapefruit Boom. My drink was supposed to be less sweet, but it was too sweet for me. I expected something healthier, but it was too sugary for my taste. I barely tasted kale. Supposedly there were fresh kale juice, but I didn't taste it. My daughter had actually ordered the Grapefruit Boom but the guy who took our order put down Mango Grapefruit Boom. The receipt was with me so we didn't realize that it was the wrong drink until we circled back 25 minutes later to pick it up. That's how long it took for them to prepare our drinks. She didn't care for her drink either since she's not a mango fan. This is one of the places where I check of "been there tried it" but would not want to come back. Aside from the drinks being too sweet, I thought they were rather small in comparison to other boba shops. Smaller in size and higher in price. Definitely not worth it!.... read more

Heytea is definitely giving OMOMO a run for their money in this Del Mar shopping center. We arrived 15 minutes after opening, and there were already about 20 online orders ready to go. These guys are trained well and super quick. As a self proclaimed matcha enthusiast, this is definitely some of the best you can get in SD. The matcha was deliciously smooth and the oat milk was probably the best i've ever had - it tasted so fresh. The boba was cooked nicely however I prefer OMOMO boba. The store itself is tiny and not meant for loitering. Definitely order your drink and opt for the outside seating. read more

Great spot! First time trying Heytea and was surprised with the welcoming tea smell the moment you walk in! Service here was fast and the decor here was minimal but aesthetic. My only wish is that it was bigger for a space to study. THIS IS A GRAB AND GO LOCATION. Out of two drinks I got, I definitely would get the Mango grapefruit boom again! Very refreshing and asked for 50% sweet was perfect for me. A great summer drink during the hot days. The matcha supreme was good but I didn't like the pudding texture at the bottom. I think it was too much so the balance from the 3 items were off plus it took a while for it to get cold bc of the jelly I think. read more

Ever since I tried Hey Tea for the first time, I've been hooked- I've already gone back 3-4 times in just 2 weeks because it's that good! So far, I've tried the Mango. Grapefruit Boom, Matcha Cloud Jasmine, Kale Boost Tea, Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea, and the Cloud Coconut Blue - and honestly, every single one has been a hit. Each drink is bursting with flavor and perfectly refreshing, with a combination of different toppings depending on the drink that you get. Whether you're running errands, treating yourself after dinner, or unwinding after a long day at work, this place is the perfect spot for a drink/boba. The lines can be very long depending on the time/day you go as it is located in the Del Mar Highlands Town center, which is usually pretty crowded. The drinks do not take that long to come out, and they also have a pick up order option if you don't want to wait in line to order and for them to make your drink. read more

Ever since I went to the Rowland Heights location and the Milpitas location, I kept dreaming about this tea shop. So when I realized it was now in Del Mar, I was oh so happy. Let's just say that crisp green drink is excellent and oh so refreshing. I also love love the mulberry and mulberry & strawberry drink. Don't ask me which one I've gotten because you know what, they are all so good and refreshing. Btw, all I've done is order online because there's no way that I am about to stand in line and wait for a long time for it. Though I've gone to the Del Mar location during off hours and got my drink in like five minutes. The staff is friendly when they give me my drink and they are quite efficient. The decor is simple and there's a fruity or floral scent when you enter. It's also pretty bright in there. But anyhow, the drinks are awesome and I think I'll slowly work through the menu and try to order one drink a week. If I say a day, that's just too much sugar. Though I appreciate that you can adjust the sugar level, ice level and if you want caffeinated tea or not. It might just be for certain drinks. Would definitely come back again and again and again. read more

Heytea - Mulberry strawberry drink. I already forgot but it was refreshing. - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

The drinks are super refreshing, especially for summer! I've gotten the grape drinks and I really like those as well as the mulberry! I wish they used in season fruits as the mulberry was sooo sour haha! I felt healthy drinking these drinks since there was real actual fruit in it haha also wished that the drinks were much colder than what they are, but totally get that more ice meant a diluted flavor. Def want to come back and try their matcha drinks! Service is so quick, despite the long lines, I was never really kept waiting long and the ambiance is def pick up and go! I loved HEYTEA in Asia, so here's to hoping they bring back all those fun flavors that I remember! Maybe some day they'll also have cool store fronts that they're known for with seating! read more

REFRESHING (4 stars) Hot sticky August heat calls for a refreshing drink. 1) expect a line 2) no you do not have to to order thru the app although the QR code posted all over the store prompts to the signup of the app immediately 3) expect about 15m wait for your drink CRISP GRAPE BLOOM ($7.49) - fresh grapes, gently crushed to release their juices, are paired with jasmine green tea base. I love grapes and grape flavor and ordered it because it looked popular. The grape flavor is light, reminds me of pealed frozen grapes. There were some cut pieces of grapes in the drink and some were more tart than others. I drank this so fast and felt it should come in large cups. With the help of the boba straw without having any boba this was more of a gulping drink than a sipping drink. Tea strength wasn't bad, I was able to sleep just fine in the evening and had this drink in the early afternoon. RECOMMEND Looking forward to trying many other drinks in the menu.

I also tried their triple matcha supreme and they definitely used high quality matcha. However, I'm giving only 3 stars because it's so overpriced.

My brother works at a Heytea location in the Bay Area so I wanted to give this spot a try after getting his recommendations! As one of the better matcha/boba shops on this side of town, I thought their drinks were good but it's probably a spot where I'd order ahead for pickup. When I entered the boba shop, I immediately thought it smelled so good! There isn't any seating inside but there are plenty of tables and chairs outside, so you can wait for your drinks while standing in the shop or sitting outside. Something to keep in mind is that if you order your drink for pickup on the Heytea app, you can see your estimated wait time. During my visit, I tried the supreme matcha latte and the cloud magnolia latte. I liked the velvety texture of their matcha, but wasn't the biggest fan of the matcha jelly. Would order again just without matcha jelly! As for the cloud magnolia latte, I probably would not order this again. I didn't think the flavors meshed well together so I did not really enjoy this one. However, I will be back to this Heytea since I would like to try any of the fruit boom drinks! read more

Came here opening weekend and I'm impressed by their efficiency! My NorCal friends rave about this place so I'm glad I get to experience it myself and I was not disappointed! We tried their mango grapefruit boom and the kale boost tea. Both were delicious. The mango grapefruit boom was like a dessert in a cup and reminds me of HK style mango sago desserts. It's very refreshing on a hot day. I got it with no sugar and it was perfect. The Kale boost tea is also a great drink! Very refreshing as well and comes in a cute jar. Can't wait to try their cloud drinks next! Service was friendly, quick and efficient. Parking isn't hard to fine as there is ample parking at that center. read more

SERVICE - My husband usually orders through the app and picks it up, which makes it incredibly convenient. Our go to used to be Omomo, but the ease and reliability of the HeyTea app ultimately won us over. Ordering is seamless and pickup is always smooth. DRINK Jasmine Cloud with Double Boba - I am very picky about boba texture, and if you drink boba, you know every shop does it differently. HeyTea absolutely nails it. The boba is soft, chewy, and perfectly cooked with just the right amount of sweetness. The jasmine tea is fresh, fragrant, and balanced, not overpowering. They are consistently good. Fresh tea every time and excellent tapioca pearls. This has become our regular spot for a reason. read more

I heard and saw that there was a new boba chain opening up in Del Mar via Instagram, so my friends and I made our way up to their opening weekend with their BOGO free drinks. I've always heard amazing things about this chain but never got to try it. So happy to hear that they have one in the San Diego county now! It's located in between Iceskimo and Pokewan in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center on Rl Camino Real in Del Mar. There's ample free open parking spaces around the area that won't ever be an issue. As it was opening weekend, the lines were LONG. It took us about 45 mins to an hour to get our drink which is a good sign as it shows that they advertised their grand opening really well! My boyfriend and I got their Triple Supreme Matcha Latte with 50% sweetness and their Cloud Mango with 50% sweetness. Wow - both drinks lived up to the expectations! Both drinks did not disappoint at all! There was a nice strong traditional matcha flavor that did not have that artificial sweetness that I dislike. The three matcha toppings (matcha cheese cloud, matcha mochi and matcha jelly) in the latte were really good as well! Definitely really enjoyed the mochi and jelly. The cheese cloud was overshadowed by these two toppings. The mango drink was also very good. I'm a sucker for mango drinks, and this was delicious! I did wish I ordered the Mango Grapefruit Boom instead as the aesthetic of the drink looked a lot better than the regular Cloud Mango LOL. Definitely something I would love to try next time! Overall, a really good shop to stop for boba! Especially for the matcha and fruit teas for those located in North County. They don't have much milk tea varieties but gives a reason to try their fruit teas and matcha! Definitely will be back in the future as my workplace is "relatively" close by. read more

Having had Heytea in the Bay Area numerous times, I was pleasantly surprised to find the grand opening for the first San Diego Heytea was happening this weekend. They are running a BOGO deal the first three days of the opening and as expected the line was out the door and down the block. It took 2 hours to reach the cashier from the back of the line! I expect the line to die down in the coming days. I also received a free limited edition San Diego magnet as part of the grand opening. I ordered the Triple Supreme Maatcha Latte ($7.99) which is a seasonal drink, and the Cloud Crisp Grape ($7.99) which is a purple grape drink. Unfortunately, they ran out of ingredients for the Cloud Crisp Grape while I was waiting for my order. I was very disappointed as this is one of their top drinks and my go to order. However, to my surprise, I was offered a free drink, in addition to a replacement drink. I ordered two cloud green grapes for my replacement drink and free drink, meaning I got 3 drinks for $7.99! The cloud green grape was delicious, and had a very similar flavor profile to the crisp grape. Amazing customer service! The store itself is quite small with a tiny standing area and two tables outside. One suggestion would be for the shop to display the order numbers that are ready on a screen as I noticed some customers missed hearing their order from the workers. I will be back! read more

Heytea has become my go to spot for matcha. I usually order the Supreme Matcha Latte, which is smooth, balanced, and not too sweet, perfect if you prefer drinks that highlight the flavor of the tea itself. Their matcha jelly is a standout topping and adds great texture without being overpowering. I tried the Triple Supreme Matcha with mochi, but the mochi texture was not really to my liking, it was too soft with no bite/chewiness to it. Ordering online is super convenient too, their pickup times are accurate and reliable which makes the whole experience even better. I've been using the app for my orders. Parking can be a bit annoying in this plaza, but they do have a parking garage which helps. The shop itself is more of a grab and go spot, since there really is not a space for customers to hang out inside. They also use a strong perfume indoors, which makes it difficult for me to stay inside for long. read more
