My friends and I came from Texas and were recommended to try this location at Stonestown. I actually tried it when I visited SF back in 2024, so I was excited to come back again after two years. Unfortunately, I feel like the quality has gone down a little. The matcha was really astringent and didn't taste that good this time, and the banana flavor tasted very artificial. The service was definitely the best part though. The guy working there was really nice, and the Asian girl with red hair was super friendly and helpful. She explained the different lattes to us and recommended the black sesame latte, which was actually really good very nutty and not too sweet. She also gave us FIVE ice cream samples, like yo my friends were still downstairs and I just asked if they could try some too, and she happily gave us a bunch to bring to them. Such nice service! Overall: ambience 3/5, food/drinks 2/5, but service 5/5. The staff really saved the experience for us.

We also had a free tea latte to claim on the Peet's app! Upon entering, it was busy, as expected since it's near the college campus. Very small shop, seating was limited. We placed our orders.

HeyTea never misses and this visit was no exception. I got the King Jasmine Guava and it was absolutely delicious, the kind of drink that hits perfectly whether you're treating yourself or just need a little pick me up to get through the day. The flavors were bright, refreshing, and just the right amount of sweet. HeyTea is simply a reliable go-to and honestly one of those spots that consistently delivers no matter what you order. If you haven't tried it yet, the King Jasmine Guava is a great place to start! read more
