Great rotating food trucks. Laid back atmosphere with tons of room outside and a play ground for the kids. A million boba tea options and always great specials. Local craft exhibits on the regular as well.

Truly amazing drinks!

Disappointed after so many friends love the spot. 75 cent up charge for a hot coffee vs cold?? Easily the worst attempt at a cafe mocha I’ve ever had. Week, just generally tasteless, with a funky aftertaste.I suppose I got what I deserve, coffee at a tea shop. I did wonder why they would do plastic cup and then seal the cups with plastic film for in house orders. Seems wasteful, but it’s not my scene, I don’t knowAdded a star for the owner responding and offering good information. I don’t think I’ll personally be back but it’s always seemed to be good people running it.

Always a pleasant experience! Employees are helpful and more than willing to give recommendations to first timers and anyone curious. Highly recommended stopping by at least once in the spring/summer to enjoy the cute area out behind the store where they have picnic tables, food trucks, and a small playground for the little ones.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp on the side of the building that allows access into the store!

We stopped in today and the staff went the extra mile to strain the strawberry pieces out of the strawberry flavoring for my autistic kiddo to make his drink more sensory-friendly. Little things like that make a huge difference. Thank you so much!

Ridiculously hot in the cafe. Overpriced. Poor organization.

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.

My daughter has wanted to try Boba tea for a while, so we came to Hey Bear. I've heard they're one of the best around. They have a TON of options, which was a little overwhelming. The girls at the counter were kind, but just directed us to the menu for decisions. I guess I would've expected a little more guidance on what to try, so that's where the 4 star comes in. I decided to build my own. I did the black tea with pineapple, mango bursting Boba, half sugar and light ice. It was surprisingly very delicious. I left wishing I had gotten a larger size. My daughter went with the galaxy green apple. She liked it, but said she would've gone with bursting Boba next time. She wasn't as big a fan of the chewy Boba.

The tapioca milk tea was okay. Was a bit watery but they have a good selection of teas and flavors.
