Lots of fun varieties of drinks here. They have some limited indoor seating, and plenty of outdoor seating space (with nearby playground). The service was a bit slow, but the staff are super friendly and nice.

Hey Bear Cafe is a little gem. Love the brown sugar boba tea. During my first visit, the line was all the way to the door, but it was worth the wait.

The only thing negative I have to say about this place is the electrical whirr that may be overstimulating to some. Otherwise, I've never had a single bad experience here. Consistently amazing staff and they've never gotten an order wrong in the three years I've been.

We love Hey Bear and are so excited it’s so close to ours house. The kids tropical slushies with mango poppers is all of our favorites. The ambience is fun and the playground outside is awesome and gives everyone a fun place to play outside. Service is always good when we order and we love it all! We will definitely be back and hope they will be here for a long time.

Very delicious boba tea. The standard recipe with black tea, milk and regular sugar tastes amazing. This tea is strong, but has a very smooth flavor with flowery notes. Not too sweet and the tapioca pearls were tasty too. If you really can’t survive without your coffee, you can get coffee drinks as well. Hey Bear Cafe has a private park behind the shop where they host food trucks and live events. It also has a small playground and there’s plenty of parking.

I host karaoke at HEY BEAR CAFE every Wednesday, and the things I love most here, besides all the employees, the outside space, the food trucks, the pop-up vendors, the variety of boba teas, is everything. I love everything about it.

I've always gone to Hey Bear for Boba, but they have so much more. Today, the celebration of Star Wars, 'May the 4th be with you,' included food trucks, face painting, sellers, and kids play ground. As always, great service and awesome people.
