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

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

Beyond excited that they are now in San Diego! First had them back in Singapore and was obsessed. I tried their new Coconut Mango Blue drink and loved their variety of toppings.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was fairly busy. However they get through the line quickly and drinks are ready before you know it. I ordered the triple supreme matcha latte. Very bold but delicious matcha flavor. Though personally, I could've done without the mochi and jelly. I didn't get a good taste of the cloud coconut blue but the colors were beautiful. Overall I would definitely recommend a try here. Service is quick and drinks are of quality. Not much area to hangout inside the shop but plenty of area outside in the plaza. read more

It was my first time having HEYTEA and I enjoyed it! I got it two times and I was able to try both of the mango booms, the triple matcha, and the strawberry mulberry drink For the mango booms, I wish they had more mango in the drinks because sometimes the coconut flavor can be a little overpowering. The mango flavor was super good though For the matcha, I thought it was alright. For the mulberry drink, I thought it was pretty good. It was a good amount of sweetness as well. The service was nice. I ordered using the appthe first time and the second time I went in person. I would recommend using the app as opposed to going in person. Parking is also okay to find but it might be a walk going to the store Overall, I would recommend going here! read more

Heytea - Regular mango coconut boom - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Heytea is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. It's on the first floor btw. The store itself has a nice ambiance but no seating. Staff was nice and quick while preparing our drinks. I got the green tea with foam and it was honestly top notch. 75% sweet is the way to go, and I'm not even a sweet tea gal. 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. Adding boba is an extra $0.99, and they gave me so little (pic below). Yes it tasted good but definitely not worth it. 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

The beverages are delicious. My favorite drink of the summer is actually the Kale Boost Tea (not pictured here), and the bobo pops (which are seldom in stock). Honestly, this is my dream tea shop in that there are many caffeine free options (you can remove the tea from nearly any drink), and they "nail" the less sugar. It's perfect for my taste. They use high quality ingredients and the store is clean and the staff is friendly. The only reason for the stat deduction is due to the inconsistency. I know they are a relatively new shop but I've ordered about 8 times already and so far, the app has been down and there's no way to get the points from your in-store purchase into the app. Super disappointing. Also, they give you the option to use a custom sticker on your beverage but so far they have only actually done it twice for me. I'm not sure if it's inattention to detail or some other glitch, but if I go through the steps of selecting it and then it's not there, I guess it's no big deal in the scheme of things but it was something I was looking forward to. Finally, a friend and I went last weekend and they didn't tell us until they finished making the drink that they were out of cloud topping for it. I feel like they should have told us before they made it and gave us a choice to get something different. Hopefully they'll work it all out soon because the drinks are so yummy and the quality is so good, I'll keep coming back for now! read more

This place was busy with a long line when I came here. I've heard good things about heytea and was excited to try it for the first time. The line was probably 20 minutes long, so we went ahead and ordered online on the app. On the app, our drinks were 15% off with the welcome coupon code! I ordered the triple matcha drink, and my friends ordered the jasmine tea with sugar feee sweetener and the grapefruit tea with sugar free sweetener. I heard the matcha here is great, so I had to try the triple matcha with less sugar (recommended). The triple matcha (4/5) - I enjoyed the strong matcha flavor of this drink with a balanced level of sweetness. This drink came with matcha jelly, matcha mochi, and matcha cloud toppings. The cloud and mochi components make this drink pretty thick. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the texture change of the jelly the most. The mochi was felt harder to distinguish from the drink as a whole, so I feel like it didn't really make the drink much better. Also, my friends commented how you can taste the powder texture of matcha powder in this drink. I tried sips of the jasmine and grapefruit tea. The grapefruit tea stood out to me, and was a delicious and refreshing combination of sweetness and fresh fruit. I'd happily come back here to order and try more fruit teas. When we went to grab our drinks, the inside was decorated cute, and was perfect for casual and on-the-go drinks. I'd recommend trying this place at least once! read more

The hype is real. At least for now. People are waiting over an hour in the heat to try their luck with Heytea. I'm smart and bought someone else's drink to skip the line lol.

With so many other boba spots throughout San Diego, I'd wait until the hype dies down to come back again. read more

I stopped by on a Thursday around 1PM. This location is fairly new and the lines have been quite long.

The staff moves so fast but the quality of the drinks were still good! The price is comparable to other boba shops. Bonus: This location has so many restaurants and shops to visit for both adults and children. There's even a luxury cinema nearby! read more

Came for the promotion weekend and only took about 30 mins from end of line to having the drinks in my hands. It's such a cute little quaint coffee place. Nice to stand in. read more

Heytea - Triple supreme latte - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been to Heytea twice, and the drinks are good but really not for me. If you like fruit drinks, this is the place for you, because they're known for high quality fruit drinks with no artificial flavoring. I generally don't go for fruit drinks so hence why this place is not for me. mango coconut 8/10 -- this is good, and I think my mom would love it because she loves mango drinks! Brown sugar bobo milk tea 8/10 -- I asked for 25% sugar and the sweetness was a good amount of sweetness but still on the sweet side for me. I prefer tea-forward drinks where the tea flavor is strong. This drink is on the lighter side in terms of the tea flavor, and even with the reduced sugar, it's still on the sweeter side. I did enjoy it, but I prefer other boba places, such as Chi Cha San Chen. Matcha Supreme 5/10 -- I asked the staff what's the difference between the Matcha Cloud and the Matcha Supreme and the Triple Matcha. The matcha cloud is a matcha latte with a cheese foam. The Matcha Supreme is a matcha latte with a matcha foam. The Triple matcha is a matcha supreme with additional matcha toppings. I went with the Matcha Supreme less sugar/25% sweet. When I saw the color of someone else's matcha drink, I could already tell that I wasn't going to like it. But I wanted to give it a try anyway, for science! I can now confirm that I did in fact not enjoy it. read more

I ordered the mango/grapefruit and it's like a dessert drink. It has sago, pudding, little flakes of grapefruit and blended chunks of mango. I had it at 70% sweet and it was perfect. If you're looking for a drink to sip I wouldn't choose this because again, it had a lot of elements which was like a cup of dessert. My best friend ordered the matcha cloud and it was good. You cannot go wrong with matcha. Not bad! All in all, the service was great and we want to come back to try more drinks! read more

To my delight, SD's very first HeyTea opened today at Del Mar Highlands Town Center with a 2nd one landing soon at Westfield UTC !! Woooo. Aroma of fresh teas welcome guests to the lovely minimal modern decor of HeyTea. Service was super good as well. My fav was Triple Supreme Matcha Latte - perfect for anyone who loves pure matcha :)) Matcha Cloud + Matcha Mochi + Matcha Jelly Also tried Mango Grapefruit Boom (lovely fresh fruit flavors) Cloud Yumberry (very unique tart and fruity flavor) Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea (this was standard milk tea flavor) Clip of the Experience below: https://www.instagram.com/urbancell_gastronomy/reel/DMjmdbGOHNv/ read more

We went to HeyTea on the first day of opening, and they have a BOGO free deal from today until this Sunday (7/27). We got there at noon, and there was already such a massive line. It was thoughtful that they gave us samples of their tea while we were in line. Reagan was my cashier, and she had such amazing and positive energy. I'm impressed by how cheerful she was even though there were so many customers. I ordered the mango grapefruit boom ($7.99), which was so refreshing. It had a good balance of mango and grapefruit. I also ordered the matcha cloud jasmine latte ($7.49). The matcha really helped to wake me up, and I love the cloud on top. They recommend that you twist the lid, and drink it to get all the flavors in one sip. They plan to have online order pick up, but right now they only take orders in person since they've just opened. They don't have any seating inside, but there are tables with seats outside. I'm glad that HeyTea is now in San Diego, and I highly recommend you to check it out! 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

I'm definitely a Heytea addict, and their drinks are worth every dollar. Their brown sugar boba tea is easily top 5 of any boba I've had. It's rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced.

Overall, everything feels high quality and well made. Top recommendation. read more

We didn't realize that Heytea was at the Del Mar Highlands and happen to be in the area. We happen to come the day they started their collaboration with PopMart's, Twinkle Twinkle. So, we had to try one of their drinks. We ordered the Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk tea, and their Matcha Longjing Milk tea. Loved the Matcha Longjing! Their collaboration with Twinkle Twinkle was super cute, they had bags, and drink sleeves to match the character. There was kind of a wait, despite just opening for the day, but totally understandable because of their collab, and they had a ton of online orders. read more

If you really want some good quality, Matcha, I highly recommend you come to Hey Tea! It's a nice casual place located in the heart of the Highlands. The best thing on the menu is the triple supreme Matcha, which has Matcha jelly and mochi. It is so delicious and not too sweet of a drink. The Matcha flavor really comes through and is so fresh and bright. It also has the right amount of flavor and creaminess! It's best to order via their app and you can even order ahead of time, which is pretty convenient. If you ever need your matcha fix in Carmel Valley/Del Mar area, this is the place to go! read more

I was up north at an ornament exchange party and while driving back home, I wanted to check out a new boba shop. I found this one on yelp. My niece was with me and ended up telling me they have been dying to try this place out. We went to the Carmel Valley location. I have never been to this area before, this place was tucked in the corner by IceSkimo, Pokewan and Melo Melo Coconut dessert place. Place was popping, (Saturday night about 9:20 pm). The inside was very simplistic, the color of the walls and design were muted, no big colors/images or designs. It definitely had a Zen feel to it. I definitely could smell fresh brewed tea. You could check out the menu by scanning the QR code, or they had one posted as well up front near the counter. Drinks we ordered: 1. Triple Supreme Matcha Latte- my niece is obsessed with Matcha, so they wanted to try this one. 'Could taste matcha really well and mochi was similar to that of 3CAT's. Got 50% sweetness which was perfect. Cream was a little heavy on top, so I might not get it next time. Overall a solid drink and good matcha in the SD area. Will get again' 5/5 2. Mango Grapefruit Boom- I think the Mango boom is the most popular drink, my sister is a fan of grapefruit so I thought I'd order this one. (25% sweetness) She raved that the drink was delicious. However, she did note that the grapefruit was just a small dollop on top. It does not seem like a different drink. 4.5/5 3. Green Grape Boom- I'm a huge fan of grapes in general and this stood out that they had a green grape drink. I got 50% sweetness, added honey boba. The flavor of this was pretty good, super different since it had peeled green grapes inside. The boba was uber soft and chewy, probably one of the best boba I've ever had. Would be nice if they gave a little bit more. The salty sweet cheese foam top MADE this drink. If this was not on top, I'm not quite sure how high of a rating this drink would get. 5/5 I think the staff was very professional and efficient. Service: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

I've heard a lot of great things about Heytea, so I was super excited when they were coming to San Diego. Parking can be a little crazy depending on when you go due to the busy plaza they are located in. It always smells amazing inside, but it's usually pretty busy. Use their app to order ahead of time for easy pickup! If you choose not to use the app, they are usually relatively quick about getting your order out to you. Drinks are more on the expensive side. Drinks I've tried here are: Cloud Crisp Grape Crisp Grape Boom Mulberry Strawberry Boom Cloud Mango Coconut Mango Boom Triple Supreme Matcha Latte While the fruit drinks here are good, I would only get the grape boom and the coconut mango boom again, as the mulberry strawberry boom had too many full size mulberries for my taste, you get a lot of large seeds while you're having this drink. The grape flavor is amazing, super refreshing if you don't want a heavier drink. The cloud mango is also a great choice if you love mango but don't enjoy coconut, you can definitely tell they use fresh, ripe mangoes in their drink. I didn't enjoy the triple supreme matcha, the quality of their matcha isn't the best in my opinion, and there isn't a strong matcha taste if you're used to matcha lattes and matcha-based drinks from Japan, or popular matcha places in OC (Airoma and Brew Story) and LA (Stagger and Damo). I felt the matcha taste was very flat and one dimensional, even with the components of matcha mochi and matcha jelly in the drink. read more

Heytea is a great spot for fruit based drinks that taste relatively natural, but I wouldn't wait in one of their infamous lines.

Always busy and crazy, good for HeyTea's business. But my drinks are never ready on time and on the pricier side here. The workers are always slammed and saying sorry it's taking so long. Parking is free at Del Mar but I often have to park much further away and walk since the spots are always full or people are double parked by the curb. The black tea latte is my favorite along with the kale boost tea. The tea is the black tea latte is a red tea and you have to add in boba "bobo" but they give you a tiny scoop as a topping when you add it in your drink sadly. Wish it didn't always take forever to get my drinks here because I like Hey Tea but the Del Mar location needs a better flow or something. Went recently for a Wicked Matcha, the special seasonal drink with dragonfruit and pomelo with matcha and it was gross for me, the matcha was way too floral and I couldn't taste the other flavors. On top of that it was $8. read more
