Asian-inspired tea house with modern lounge vibes & boba




























"Heytea is known as the creator of cheese tea — a boba tea drink that is topped with cheese foam. As one of the most viral boba chains in China, Heytea is celebrated for its signature fruit teas, which blend tea slushies with real fruit juice and pulp. The brand’s first West Coast location, in Beverly Hills, features a store-exclusive drink called the California Sunset — a green jasmine tea slushie infused with Sunkist orange juice and pulp. Its most popular menu item, the Grape Boom, combines grape juice, a green jasmine tea slushie, grape-flavored jelly, and hand-peeled grapes layered at the bottom." - Kristie Hang


"Hand-pie purveyor Dai Pie Dong will be continuing its residency at Hey Hey in Echo Park throughout April on Thursday afternoons from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Look forward to savory British-style pies with a selection of Cantonese fillings on the menu." - Rebecca Roland

"Picnic, the sandwich pop-up cooking out of Smorgasburg every Sunday, is popping up this summer at Hey Hey on Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park. Find East Coast-style heroes, baguette sandwiches, and sides for lunch starting Thursday, June 16, through the end of July." - Farley Elliott

"We love our almond milk lattes as much as the next person, but when we’re looking for a break—and not for coffee—Hey Hey is where we go for milk teas and boba. And the experience is more like one you’d have at a cocktail bar: The drinks are handcrafted by a barista who layers chewy tapioca balls with loose-leaf tea and other ingredients that are all made in-house, like almond pudding and sea salt cream. The space, which is meant to be like a modern tea room, is more like a lounge for locals, often serving drinks late into the evening. "



"A longtime Hong Kong sandwich maker from Smorgasburg will pop up at Hey Hey in Echo Park this weekend, selling its signature fried chicken sandwiches on Hong Kong–style toasted buttered buns, garlic fries, and milk tea from 6 p.m.–10 p.m. tonight and Saturday until sold out." - Mona Holmes
