heytea (505 Yonge St)

Good tea deserves the wait, impressed with HEYTEA! From the moment I stepped in the vibe rocked: modern, clean, trendy, and welcoming. The drink I tried was next level — you can genuinely taste fresh fruit, beautifully blended, and the texture of the drink with the toppings was so satisfying. Many people rave about their teas, but even without that I was blown away.  The service was friendly, and though there was a line, it moved quickly and I felt it was totally worth it. HEYTEA knows how to create an experience not just a drink. Highly recommend stopping by for something special — you’ll leave wanting to come back.

Order #8453 It took 4 staff members to figure out our order was set a side and ready for pick up. They even placed a sticky note with the completed order yet when we showed them the order pick up confirmation on the app, 3 of the unhelpful staff members dismissed it (as if the order is not ready yet). We waited half an hour for an order that was already ready for pick up. Another person waiting with us had their order apparently lost. We went to this location a couples weeks back and it looks like they have a new staff team. This would make sense for high turnover if staff is always new and needs training repeatedly. Update: 4 Jan 2026 Resolved! Adjusted star rating accordingly. After emailing them they addressed the issues and offered 2 complimentary drinks. See attached photo with receipts :)

Today was my first time visiting this Bubble Tea place, and here’s my honest review. First of all, I was lucky there was no line, because I often pass by this spot and it’s usually busy. Today was the first time I actually managed to get in. When I ordered my drink, I specifically asked if it came with any toppings, and I was told it didn’t. So I added Brown Sugar Pearls for an extra $1.50 — which, to be honest, is way overpriced. That’s about twice as much as in other places. In the end, the drink already had some tapioca pearls in it, so I basically overpaid for something I didn’t need. The total came to a bit over $10, even though the base price of the drink was $7.99. As for the interior — it’s beautiful, probably the only thing that deserves one star. The staff inside were shouting so loudly that I thought I’d lose my hearing. If you sit near the pick-up counter, be prepared to leave half-deaf. Would I come back? I doubt it. For this price, I can get a much better drink that actually matches its value. Unfortunately, this one didn’t. Pros: nice interior. Cons: extremely loud, poor communication, overpriced, long lines, and the taste is barely one star.

Absolutely the best boba tea in Toronto! Heytea on Yonge is hands down my favorite bubble tea spot. The drinks are always fresh, perfectly balanced, and the pearls have the ideal chewy texture. The flavors are rich but not too sweet, and you can really taste the quality ingredients. The staff are friendly, and the shop itself has a clean, modern vibe that makes it a great place to relax. Highly recommend to any boba lover. Easily the best I’ve had so far!

Ok I’m not one to be obsessed with a drink but HEYTEA is literally soooooooooooo good like you don’t understand. The Mango Coconut Boom and Mango Coconut Blue have changed my life and I actually need to have it everyday omggggggggg!! I really like the Cloud Crispy Grape which is so refreshing but the Mango in the Mango Coconut Boom is just so silky with the sago likeeeeeee omggggggggggg 100 STARS

The milk tea was very good, but the service was disappointing. The cashier who take my order printed the bill while I was still ordering and showed an annoyed attitude when I asked to add a topping. Their English was difficult to understand and the tone felt disrespectful. Good drinks, but poor customer service.

always good when i come to heytea, i love the smell when i first walk in. i just hate how expensive one drink is but the quality is definitely there. the matcha at this location is a bit more bitter than the scarborough location. for the matcha triple, i did not like the mochi as it was clumpy and not smooth and stretchy like…. it was giving when food is expiring and its starting to clump all together so that was not enjoyable…. id stick to the matcha supreme. the place is pretty small so it can get very crowded

Never disappoints! Drinks are always fresh, creative, and delicious. The fruit teas taste natural, and the cheese foam is so smooth and rich. Staff are friendly and quick, making the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely my go-to spot for bubble tea!
