heytea (Metreon) at a glance

Google reviewers rate Heytea Metreon 4.5 out of 5 based on 740 reviews, with the owner responding to only 3 percent of feedback. Customers frequently praise the taste of specific drinks like matcha and jasmine coconut, noting that kiosk orders can reduce wait times. However, a significant number of low-star reviews cite excessive wait times, often exceeding 30 minutes, and frustration that online orders are prioritized over in-person customers. Additional criticisms include perceived high online pricing, inconsistent drink quality, and staff behavior during busy periods.

The wait time is way too long and genuinely think their system is faulty by prioritizing the online orders. Waited 30 mins for oolong yuzu, which took them literally seconds to do. Was frustrated to see the online drinks just stacking up there while the in person orders waiting in the queue

I’m obsessed with Heytea and this was the worst heytea I’ve ever had😇 Overall, it's super bland. You can't taste the tea at all, the cheese foam is super weak, and it tastes like cheap grape soda.. I hope it's just a one-off 10.21.2026
