I recently experienced HEYTEA and absolutely loved it! There were so many options that I wasn't…read moresure what to try, but the friendly staff were incredibly helpful in guiding me through the diverse and intriguing selections. I decided to try the Coconut Mango Boom, and it was so good! The creamy coconut paired beautifully with the sweet, slightly tangy mango, giving it a refreshing tropical flavor. I also loved that the tea is freshly brewed, which really adds to the experience. The atmosphere is casual and inviting, with plenty of comfortable seating, including areas where you can sit and enjoy your drink with a friend. HEYTEA is located in Wintergreen Plaza, which has plenty of free parking, making it easy and convenient to visit. I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of their offerings!

This was my first time there and I asked the person at the counter about their drinks since they were different than at other boba tea places I've frequented. I told him I like milk based teas and asked about their jasmine tea. He couldn't really explain the different tea flavors. Also wasn't very helpful, especially when I saw the jasmine tea was not milk based (after I had purchased it). I adjusted the sugar to 75%, but it needed more sugar. I also ordered the mango coconut cream drink for my daughter. I do appreciate they use real fruit and that it looked pretty but I really don't see what the hype is about. I didn't like my jasmine tea and my daughter, nor I, liked the mango coconut tea. Definitely not a fan ... won't be back.

TLDR: Overpriced, tea just wasn't good…read more I tried this place around a year ago because it had amazing reviews, but my drink was so terrible that I couldn't finish it. It had an awful metallic taste, which I think came from the lychee jelly (lychee is not supposed to taste like that). I drink a ton of boba, and have never had something so bad I couldn't finish it before. I came back today to try it again, since the reviews of this place are continuously amazing, and mine is the only bad review. The toppings were the worst part. The tapioca pearls had firm and dry cores (I think it was maybe undercooked), which really brought the drink down. The jelly was not good, and I wouldn't even call it "jelly" personally. It was essentially sugar and flavor pellets with a processed and unpleasant tangy aftertaste. The tea wasn't great either. I sampled their jasmine tea since I really like jasmine, but I wasn't a fan, and I can make better with cheap grocery store tea. I tried their oolong tea, which was decent, but the flavor felt pretty diluted unfortunately. I also tried the Hokkaido tea, which was very sweet, and didn't taste quite like Hokkaido tea in my opinion. Normally I don't mind when boba is sweet, but I feel this place is pushing it too much. I ended up getting a little bit of the Hokkaido tea, and about 5x that amount of the oolong tea (which was fully unsweetened), and it was definitely sweet enough for me. There's a drink I sometimes get when I'm at college called "crème brûlée ube brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba". I personally prefer to call it "diabetes in a cup". I think the sweetness of that drink would be comparable to a full cup of the Hokkaido tea. Additionally, $8.46 is an absurd price to pay for this. I can get better boba for $6 down the street, or much better boba for $6-8 about 15 minutes away. If I want genuinely good boba, there's some shops in Rockville that I happily pay $8 a cup for, and they blow this place out of the water. This would be 3 star tea if it was $6. The staff member was nice, and the building itself was cute. The staff member recommended the Hokkaido tea with a pump of brown sugar syrup. This is why I tried the Hokkaido tea, but I didn't opt for the brown sugar pump since I'm not a huge fan of brown sugar boba (I prefer fruit tea and more eastern new-style tea). The "build your own tea" is a fine gimmick, but I don't want to pay $8 for it, especially when the toppings you can add are low quality. Additionally, some places have enough customization on their menu that you can essentially build your own tea anyways.

Sweet Bamboo Boba is hands down the best place I've ever found for bubble tea…read more You can make your own drink exactly how you want it, with your own flavors, combinations, and recipes. They have standard options too, but the fun part is building your own creation. They have bubbles, all kinds of jellies, teas, syrups, toppings, and so many ways to customize it. It reminds me of one of those self-serve frozen yogurt places, but for bubble tea. My go-to drink is strawberry jelly and lychee jelly on the bottom, then I fill the cup about two thirds of the way with ice, add coconut tea up to the top of the ice, and finish it with butterfly pea flower on top. It has no caffeine, it looks beautiful, and it tastes amazing. Sweet Bamboo Boba is officially one of my favorite spots. Sweet Bamboo Boba is hands down the best place I've ever found for bubble tea.

And over half of the cup had Boba in it, which was great but also a lot compared to the drink. The drink was super sweet. Their website is down so you can't see everything and it says that they're closed. The only negative thing about this place, is that they had 3 betta fish in too small enclosures. It is not humane how tiny the tanks with for each fish. They had much larger tanks for other fish, so they should do the same for the betta.

Toppings in the bowl include mochi, mango jelly, and mango cubes. On top is some mochi, mango slices, and a scoop of passion fruit sorbet. There is mango sauce and condensed milk throughout the bowl. The staff spent a lot of effort to make the bowl pretty and did a nice job of mixing the ingredients so that you don't have toppings on top only. The shop seems cute and there seems like there would be more things available when the owner is in. They have lunch boxes that look good. They also have takoyaki on the menu but the machine is currently down. One thing that I didn't like is that the item was different from the menu description. I was expecting mango snow and mango ice cream or sorbet. It's not the end of the world but I picked this one in particular because it was supposed to be mango snow. While the bingsoo is large enough to share, I also feel it is priced a bit high for what it is. Might be because there aren't many other laces like this in the area but bingsoo is usually bigger or less pricey. Overall, a decent stop for dessert if you want something a little different. Street parking was not that hard to find when we went.
