HEYTEA (SOHO)

Really great matcha latte - the cheese foam is so delicious! Unfortunately, the shop is very small and a victim of its own success. You queues are very disorganised as you don't know who's queuing to order and who's waiting. The wait for drink also takes 15-20 minutes, which is incredibly long and you're only told about after ordering. I feel like there must be a better structure to make for a better and quicker experience. Worth going to when it's quiet though.

I’ve been to HEYTEA a couple of times and always go back for the Mango and Coconut Boom it’s been absolutely delicious every single time. Be prepared to wait a little (I waited around 14 minutes for my drink), but it’s totally worth it because everything is made fresh to order. You can actually see real mango pieces in the drink, and the flavour is so natural and refreshing. If you have a strong sweet tooth, this might not be sweet enough for you even when you ask for it to be sweeter, it’s still much more subtle than at other places. But that’s what I love about it it tastes real, not artificial. Highly recommend if you appreciate fresh, natural flavours!

Really enjoyed the mango grapefruit boom - it’s sweet (but not too sweet) and refreshing. They use actual mango chunks, purée and juice, so the mango flavour tastes natural and not artificial. I’ll definitely be visiting again to try some of the other drinks on their menu! This location is pretty small and was very busy when I visited. There’s no seating (it’s a more of a grab-and-go spot) but some of the nearby branches do offer seating. You can also order ahead on the app to skip the line.

Amazing fruit tea spot in London! I highly recommend trying the Cloud Mango Tea—it’s refreshing and delicious. Walk-in waiting times can be a bit long, but ordering on the HEYTEA app makes pickup quick and easy. The staff are super fast, friendly, and always welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

Very popular spot on the outskirts of Chinatown. Always very crowded but they are very efficient in getting drinks out. I’ve had their coconut mango boom which is fantastic and worth the visit alone. A great flavour of fresh mango and creamy coconut with soft little sago pearls mixed through. I’ve also had their matcha supreme options which were good but I always found tasting very bitter and sludgy near the end. Despite this, I can tell everything has been made to a very high quality with very good ingredients. This is, however, reflected in the price as it is slightly pricier than other boba spots. However, I’d happily spend that premium for the quality of their boba. Would recommend!

Bubble tea made with fresh fruit and no artificial flavors. I ordered the mango coconut drink and you can really taste the mango. It’s a bit more expensive than other bubble tea shops but I think the real ingredients make up for it.

I came here on a weekday and it was super busy. I have tried all the bubble tea places in Chinatown and this is the place to be. It is a bit pricey as bubble is not that expensive in Taiwan or China. I got the coconut mango boom and it was lovely. My friend agreed with me as there were actual mango bits in there. I will try other options there soon!!

It was just a purely perfection - best Bubble Tea ever! Now I couldn't go to other places to not ruin the memory of ideal taiwan drink 🧋🧋 We just tried Coconut Mango Boom and classic sugar boba - and we just simply lost on it! 🥭🥥🧋
