heytea (Berkeley) — Restaurant in Berkeley

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I recently visited Heytea and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, guiding me through their menu since it was my first time.

I tried their signature cheese foam tea, and it was a game-changer! The balance of flavors was perfect—creamy, rich, and not overly sweet. The boba pearls were fresh, chewy, and added the perfect texture to the drink. I also appreciated how fresh and high-quality the ingredients felt.

The shop itself is clean, modern, and has a cozy vibe, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends. The service was quick, and the drinks were beautifully presented—perfect for snapping a photo before enjoying!

If you're a boba lover or just looking to try something new, Heytea is a must-visit. I can't wait to come back and try more of their creative and delicious offerings. Highly recommend!

I would say this took about 20 minutes for waiting to order. And then another 20 minutes for waiting to pick up.

I got the coconut mango drink, and the supreme Macha latte. Both were very good. The Matcha latte was very strong and creamy (one of the best I had). And the coconut mango drink was very light and refreshing. We also got the Bobo oat milk, Which was good, but it’s basically just oat milk, brown sugar, and their version of Boba, so I think I’ll skip that next time. For some reason, some of their drinks can only be 70%...

came for the opening and the line was not managed well and waited 2 hours in line ( an hour before they opened was 26 in line). all the international kids people kept cutting and the workers were not doing anything about it somehow there were people also placing online orders even tho it was unavailable for me when i checked and it defeated people lining up. by the time i had left there were already at 250 people and with how disorganized and poorly managed this was. will not revisit this location anytime soon and will stick to the daly city one. the drinks here are good but can...
