Heytea is definitely my favorite tea spot! I’m so glad they recently opened on Long Island City. My go-to drinks are the Triple Matcha and the Mango Grapefruit—both are absolutely delicious and worth coming back for. The only downside is parking can be a little tricky, and the store is almost always busy. It usually takes about 20 minutes to get your order if you line up. I highly recommend using their app to order ahead and just pick up your drinks—it makes the experience so much easier. Despite the wait, the drinks are amazing and totally worth it.

Great place! The staff is excellent! The drinks were great also. I wasn't too fond of the crab (it was too much sauce). The Argentinian shrimp was the star of the show! It was amazing. I will definitely go back again.

Love heytea, but not more than my friend- she’s a real heytea addict, always ordering at least 4 drinks just for herself. There’s always a long wait time though, better to order online beforehand.

I really don’t like doing these types of reviews but…I just waited 30 minutes for a very mid Jasmine Milk Tea drink. The only reason I didn’t give it a 1 star is because the employees did look overwhelmed and tried their best with the rush of delivery orders. Luckily I was done with work for the day and didn’t have anything else planned, but waiting 30-40 minutes for a single drink in NYC is unacceptable, especially given that there were no signs/indicators letting you know that there may be longer than expected wait times. The store should implement that into their POS system or have visible and large postage somewhere to keep the expectations right. If I had known the wait was going to be more than 10 minutes, I would’ve came back another time or ordered through the app and came back. I don’t really plan on coming back, but if you are interested in trying the new Heytea drinks, might I suggest making the trip on the 7 train to flushing where the store there is much more efficient, or I recommend ordering ahead of time for pickup. Taste: The drink itself was alright, the jasmine milk tea definitely tasted the way you expected to, and the pistachio foam was also okay. Nothing to go crazy about but it was just fine. Perhaps it was the long buildup to get to the drink that diminished its overall value.

I found a bug in my drink and it was disgusting… A big piece of the body was stuck to the side of the cup, and there were smaller pieces floating on top of the cream. I felt sick the moment I realized what it was. This is a serious hygiene problem and it honestly made me lose confidence in this location. I threw the whole drink out right away. I hope the store actually looks into this because no customer should ever have to deal with something like this.
