    Staff was very friendly and courteous! The employee who helped me was very patient when placing my order. The store was clean and my Thai Tea came out fast!

    Beautiful location!

    Love the location for its modern design and friendliness. I visit LA time to time after living here for several years, and this location--I would always walk to. Now I come inside as a visitor, but love it. The service is considerate and fast! Also, for açaí enthusiasts I usually get theirs over other chains because it's a good brand they use and organic. I'm pretty picky.

    Joanna was very sweet with taking my order and the Pistachio Frappe was delicious! 10/10 would recommend

    Taro milk tea

    Great service, always consistently delicious and service is always very good! My go to drink is the coconut watermelon slush, it's always on point. Today I decided to try the taro milk tea and the double mango smoothie and both are absolutely delicious . The ambiance is nice, I don't normally sit in because I take my order to go but the place always looks and smells clean and ever since I started working in this area I come here at least a few times a month. Definitely recommend and the workers are really nice too!

    Super friendly staff, had a nice chat with the owner and she was super sweet while ringing me up. Boba tastes great and will definitely be back in the future!

    Fresh Milk Tea X-Large extra boba and it

    I love this place! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. The place is cozy and has seating. There's lots to choose from. I usually got their Thai Tea X-Large extra boba and it is fantastic. Their House Milk Tea is also great for something less strong than Thai Tea and I get it half sweet and half ice. Their Jasmine Tea Float and Thai Tea Float is also perfect for hot days because of the ice cream. Definitely recommend!

    I ended up getting a Thai tea, smoothie Boba, that one is my favorite and it's my go to so I get it every time. But then I also got three macaroons., I ended up getting the green tea, coffee, vanilla flavor. The macaroons tasted like it was there for a week. It tasted like it was sitting in the fridge open, and the texture was off. I love macaroons, but these were not my favorite. I don't think I will be getting them again. The service was nice. The employees were welcoming. It was nice on the inside, but I don't think I'd sit down in there

    Extra large black milk tea with no ice (it was a full cup when I got it) + extra charge for no ice.
    Mike Y.

    There are 12 boba drink places around my workplace on Figueroa/7th St. that I've made it my mission to try every one when I'm working at the DTLA office. I appreciate that I can get an extra large drink to share (or not if you're super thirsty) but a dollar extra if I ask for "no ice"? No mention of the extra cost by the cashier so I was rudely surprised when I got my receipt. My extra large black tea with boba at 75% sugar and no ice tasted watered down and unexceptional. Pass.

    CoCo's Kanom Thai immediately caught my attention with its bright storefront, and once I walked in,…read moreI was impressed by the selection. It feels like a combination of a Thai dessert shop, specialty market, and café, with shelves full of Thai snacks and treats and a beautiful dessert counter. They have a great variety of traditional Thai desserts, cakes, pastries, drinks, and packaged snacks. Everything was nicely displayed, and I really liked the woven baskets and presentation--it gives the place an authentic Thai feel. The interior is nice, clean, and welcoming, with warm lighting and wood accents that make the shop feel comfortable and inviting. The staff was also very nice and friendly, and the service was pleasant from start to finish. There's definitely plenty to explore here, whether you're looking for something sweet, a Thai drink, or snacks to take home.

We came in after lunch looking for a sweet treat and ordered a variety of things. Across the board everything was just okay. The coconut cakes weren't fresh and had already started to dry out, which for a dessert spot is a hard thing to overlook. But the food was the least of our issues -- the customer service is where things really went sideways, twice. First, my friend ordered a chrysanthemum drink only to be told they were out, something that wasn't noted anywhere on the kiosk. The worker pointed her toward the fridge with zero additional instruction. Naturally she picked a drink and opened it, as anyone would. A few moments later the same worker comes over, asks for the bottle, grunts, sighs, and says "did you open this?" When we said yes he shook his head, muttered that she wasn't supposed to, and walked away. No explanation, no apology -- just attitude. He came back, poured it into another cup with ice, and that was that. The second incident was equally frustrating. After I ordered and paid for the Mango Slush Coconut Milk, he came back to tell me they were out of coconut milk and asked if I'd be okay with regular milk. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I said no and asked him to show me my options. He walked away without a word, disappeared into the back, and then came out telling me my drink was ready. I double checked that it was coconut milk and not regular -- he confirmed and walked off. The drink tasted off though, noticeably more mango heavy than coconut milk forward, which made me wonder about the ratios. And what was strange is that after being told there was no coconut milk, it somehow reappeared. Make it make sense. The concept here has real potential and I hope they find their footing, but between the mediocre food and the communication issues, I won't be making a return visit anytime soon.

    I love this place and I will always go back, full stop!…read more It is genuinely always packed -- there have been times where there are what feels like 100 people ahead of me in the queue -- but somehow they still make the drinks so quickly. And it's not just fast, it's consistent. Every single drink comes out exactly the way it should, which is honestly impressive for a place with that kind of volume. My go-to is the mango sago, but I also love the guava milk tea. It's legit so delicious and I have a hard time choosing between the two every time I come in. If you see a line, don't let it scare you off -- it moves way faster than you'd think!

The line can be insane, but we somehow lucked out and there was no wait on a Saturday ~6 PM. This was my first time at this location, and while it was fun being in the middle of Beverly Hills, the drinks and service weren't what I expected. The staff was fairly impatient (despite us being the only customers in the store) and seemed annoyed to provide recommendations to my family who had never tried HeyTea before. We got 5 drinks: triple matcha, brown sugar bobo, king jasmine guava, coconut mango boom, cloud jasmine. All but the king jasmine guava were either bland or extremely salty. The king jasmine guava was easily the best drink we got, but it had mostly a guava taste and very little jasmine. I've never had this experience before at the other locations, so I want to assume they were just having a really off day... All that said, it's Beverly Hills. Even the most popular places can be hit or miss depending on the day. While I was disappointed in this visit, I wouldn't mind giving it another try if I had a craving and was in the area. There's a few stools to sit on, but this is mostly a grab and go spot. Note on parking: there's some street parking in front of the store, but it can be tough to find an empty spot. There's a couple paid garages/lots on the block, and we were able to get free parking since we were there after 6 PM.

Everyone pretty much ordered at the kiosks inside of the store, and the line moved really freaking fast despite the mount of people they had to serve. I think I legit waited like 5 minutes and I got my drink, which was the Coconut frostie with boba. This was a really, really delicious drink. Great coconut flavor, would order again. It's interior decor is themed similarly to all other sunrights. They have a nice spacious area to sit/stand/etc. I think they may have moved tables/chairs to make room for the event, as I don't remember seeing any of those at the time.

Sunright Tea Studio is so welcoming and gives off such a sweet and festive ambiance. The studio is so spacious and has a beautiful Christmas tree in the center with area for sitting. We ordered our drinks from the kiosks and we're still able to communicate with the 2 baristas. The baristas were great and helpful in recommending their specialty coffee and milk tea drinks. We ordered the Signature Iced Coffee, Strawberry Matcha Latte, Chocolate Oreo Brûlée and Chocolate Oreo Frostie. The Signature Iced Coffee is a Vietnamese Highland double blend while the Strawberry Matcha Latte is premium matcha from Japan with 4 seasons oolong tea layered with organic milk and fresh strawberries. The Chocolate Oreo Frostie on the otherhand is a rich yet refreshing chocolate ice-blended frostie infused with a generous scoop of crushed oreos. So good! Last but not least, the Chocolate Oreo Brûlée is a velvety chocolate latte swirled with creme brulee foam and served with crushed Oreos. This is one is good yet it's too sweet for me. Can't wait to try other milk tea and specialty coffee drinks on their menu next week/
