The complication at HEYTEA is the cap. Cheese cloud is a salted cream cheese foam, and it is the thing the chain is known for, which means it appears on 18 drinks across the board including several that look like plain fruit teas from the name.
That splits the menu into three groups rather than two. Drinks that are already dairy free. Drinks whose dairy is just milk, so a $0.99 oat swap fixes them. And drinks where the dairy is the cap, which no modification can remove.
Group One: Dairy Free as Built (16 Drinks)
No modification needed and no extra charge. These are the pressed fruit teas, the three plain brewed teas, and the two coconut milk builds.
| Drink | Price | Calories | Caffeine | Dairy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jasmine Tea | $5.49 | 30 | 35 mg | No |
| Oolong Tea | $5.49 | 35 | 45 mg | No |
| Black Tea | $5.49 | 40 | 55 mg | No |
| Grapefruit Boom | $6.49 | 110 | 40 mg | No |
| Passion Fruit Blast | $6.49 | 70 | 40 mg | No |
| Coconut Mango Boom | $6.99 | 350 | None | No |
| Slim Boost Tea | $6.99 | 80 | 40 mg | No |
| Crisp Grape Boom | $7.99 | 100 | 40 mg | No |
| Very Grape | $7.99 | 210 | 40 mg | No |
| Guava Green Grape | $7.99 | 190 | 40 mg | No |
| Mango Grapefruit Boom | $7.99 | 260 | 40 mg | No |
| Yumberry Boom | $7.99 | 90 | 40 mg | No |
| Mulberry Boom | $7.99 | 100 | 40 mg | No |
| Mulberry Strawberry Boom | $7.99 | 100 | 40 mg | No |
| Kale Boost Tea | $7.99 | 110 | 40 mg | No |
| Coconut Mango Blue | $8.49 | 350 | None | No |
Two of these are worth calling out. Coconut Mango Boom at $6.99 and Coconut Mango Blue at $8.49 are built on coconut milk with no tea base, which makes them both dairy free and caffeine free. That combination exists nowhere else on the menu.
The plain brewed teas at $5.49 are the safest orders of all if cross contact is a concern, because no milk equipment touches them at any point.
Group Two: Converts with an Oat Milk Swap (13 Drinks)
These carry dairy through milk alone. The oat milk swap costs $0.99 and adds roughly 30 calories, and it turns them into workable dairy free orders.
| Drink | Base price | With oat swap | Calories after swap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple Supreme Matcha Latte | $7.99 | $8.98 | about 370 |
| Supreme Matcha Latte | $7.99 | $8.98 | about 370 |
| Pure Matcha Latte | $6.99 | $7.98 | about 200 |
| Wicked Matcha | $7.99 | $8.98 | about 331 |
| Coconut Matcha Bobo | $7.99 | $8.98 | about 420 |
| Classic Milk Tea | $6.49 | $7.48 | about 260 |
| Oolong Milk Tea | $6.49 | $7.48 | about 250 |
| Black Tea Latte | $6.49 | $7.48 | about 350 |
| Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk Tea | $7.99 | $8.98 | about 530 |
| Supreme Brown Sugar Bobo Milk | $7.49 | $8.48 | about 430 |
| Mochi Longjing Milk Tea | $9.49 | $10.48 | about 350 |
| Jasmine Latte | $6.49 | $7.48 | about 170 |
| Mochi Longjing Tea Latte | $7.99 | $8.98 | about 145 |
The matcha lattes are the most useful entries here. The matcha section has no dairy free drink of its own, so the swap is the only route into it. Supreme Matcha Latte at $8.98 after the swap is the straightforward pick.
Group Three: Cannot Be Made Dairy Free (18 Drinks)
Every drink with Cloud, Cheezo or Cheese in its name carries a cream cheese foam cap. There is no plant based version of that cap on the US menu, so an oat swap changes the milk underneath and leaves the dairy on top.
This is the part people get wrong, because several of these read like plain fruit drinks. Cloud Mango, Cloud Crisp Grape, Cloud Yumberry and Cloud Mulberry Strawberry are all fruit teas with a dairy cap. Their Boom equivalents are not.
The one word that changes everything
Crisp Grape Boom at $7.99 is dairy free. Cloud Crisp Grape at $7.99 is not. Same grape, same jasmine tea, and the word Cloud is the only thing separating them on the board. Same pattern applies to Mango, Yumberry and Mulberry Strawberry.
Toppings and Dairy
Most toppings are dairy free. The three that are not are the caps: Cheese Cloud at $1.99, Light Cheese Cloud at $0.99 and Matcha Cloud at $1.99.
Everything chewy is safe. Brown sugar bobo, crystal boba, sago, matcha jelly, coconut milk jelly and fat free boba pops contain no dairy, which means you can add texture to any dairy free drink without a problem. The toppings page lists every one with its price and calories.
Coconut milk jelly is worth knowing about specifically. At $0.99 and 25 calories it gives a soft creamy texture on a fruit tea without any dairy at all, which is the closest thing on this menu to a cap for someone who cannot have one.
How to Order
Name the drink, then say dairy free or ask for oat milk if it is a milk build. Staff at these stores handle the question regularly and the sugar and ice adjustments come free alongside it.
If your reaction to dairy is severe rather than a preference, say so at the counter. These are small shops preparing drinks in one space with shared equipment, and cross contact is possible on anything that is not a plain brewed tea. No website can tell you what a specific store's setup looks like, this one included.
The Short Version
Order Crisp Grape Boom at $7.99 if you want the best dairy free drink on the menu. Order Coconut Mango Boom at $6.99 if you want dairy free and caffeine free at once. Add the $0.99 oat swap if you want a matcha or a milk tea. Avoid anything with Cloud, Cheezo or Cheese in the name entirely.
That covers nearly every case. The drink builder flags dairy on any combination if you want to check a specific order first.
