Double matcha
Nicole M.

The vibe inside here is very cute and cozy! It seems like a great place to sit down and chat with a friend or study (I forgot to check if there were outlets available though). There's an option to either order on a kiosk or at the counter and once you order, the drinks come out pretty quickly. I got the double matcha and it had a good and strong matcha flavor! My friend got a jasmine milk tea that I liked and would definitely get that next time.

Well after a nice Sunday and eating some burgers we decided on some BoBa Tea and we decided on coming here . First as you walk in there are quite a few places to sit inside . The cool thing is there are games for kids and it is set up really cool . Well we ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Drink and it hit the spot . As for the Service it was good and it is located right next to White Dragon Martial Arts Kung Foo and on Balboa Ave . Overall one of the best Boba Shops . I Highly recommend this Boba Shop !! I can see myself coming back for more !!!

Outside

The service was pretty quick. We tried the Signature Combo ($8.50) which had a pandan waffle, Nutella, vanilla ice cream, Pocky, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. It sounded good, but overall it ended up being a bit too sweet for our taste. After a few bites, everything kind of blended together and didn't really stand out flavor-wise. For the price, it felt a little underwhelming. It's not bad, just not something I'd go out of my way to get again. Maybe their drinks are better since they had a more extensive drink menu. The space itself is spacious, and they even have gacha machines. The vibe definitely leans toward a younger crowd, so I can see it becoming a popular hangout spot. Overall, an okay experience, but if I return I'd probably try something different.

Suite front
Emmett T.

The owners of the former Ding Tea in this Clairemont suite have separated themselves from the large chain brand and gone independent with the launch of Camie Tea. The most noticeable change to the interior was the addition of a foosball table not far in front of the service counter. Maybe this amenity was present before, but it had been a while since I visited this location. Between the multiple tables and sofa, the seating capacity was around 40. Two menu screens hung near the counter. One of them showed the pandan waffles, either building your own or as a combo. The other one featured the drinks that were divided into six categories. The most popular selections were shown in the bottom right corner. Neither the prices nor the descriptions were listed which I thought were oversights. Without the latter, it was hard to choose because the contents were not available, just a name. This was especially true for the Specialty category of which there were 13 varieties. I ended up picking the Mango Sunrise that turned out to be more of a slushie than a fruity boba tea. The online ordering page stated the ingredients were pomelo, coconut jelly, mango puree, and mango slush. If this information was provided on a webpage, then why not also include it on the flat screens? The mixture was not particularly sweet which was fine. I didn't request any boba pearls because of the coconut jelly. I think with some improvements I can upgrade my rating of Camie Tea to a level higher than three stars.

My wife and I stopped by to check this place out. Nice & bright inside. Simple Menu list, tried the Deluxe Fruit Golden Boba, it's a nice drink, fruity and not overly sweet. They also have these cute toppings and my wife added those . Friendly Staff, clean inside, and lots of Parking spaces .

Matcha Strawberry w/ Mochi
Joyce L.

Formerly a Ding Tea, this boba shop has rebranded and added its own recipes to the menu. Braved the 1.5 hour line for free drinks on opening day to check out the hype, and we were rewarded with an excellent Matcha Latte with Boba and Matcha Strawberry with Mochi. Thankfully the drinks came out fairly quickly after ordering. The interior space is pretty roomy. Despite the crowd on this particularly busy day, there was still plenty of seating available as most people took their cups to go.

Camie milk tea and Sepreme milk tea
Daniel D.

This is a Rebranding of a Ding Tea franchisee. We went on Saturday when they had the BOGO and there was a line to the door around opening. The first few dozen or so orders were gifted a milk tea plushie. Servers were friendly and did well considering how busy they were. The decor was minimal with a few crane machines and a giant connect four. There are a few tables seating areas to hang out. Great grand opening. Good flavored milk tea and slushie drinks. Would recommend.

Ding Tea is now Camie Tea! The owners dropped the Ding tea franchise and have gone independent. Certainly not an easy feat as now they have to come up with their own recipes. I attended their soft opening today and all drinks were free, let's see if it was any good. The interior is basically the same spacious one as before with ample seating and the same furniture and games but different decor on the walls. The menu has changed - some items are the same and many seem new. Of note is a huge new selection of matcha drinks (9 in all), my personal favorite! The bubble waffles are also gone. I tried a matcha latte of course. It was good! Rich, dark green color, strong earthy Matcha flavor, and a nice bitterness to contrast the sweetness of the drink and the Boba that I added. The Boba was also cooked perfectly. We also tried a strawberry Matcha with mochi and the mochi was delicious. It tasted fresh and homemade and had a consistency that was more dense than a jelly. Camie Tea looks like a winner!

I really wanted to like this place, and it might just come down to ordering choices, but this visit didn't quite hit for me. I tried the Matcha Einspaner, and while it was thick, it leaned more like a dessert drink (ice cream-like) so I couldn't really taste much of the matcha itself. My hubby ordered the Mango Sunrise, which had a nice fruity base but was a bit too sweet for our preferences. For context, we used to come here often back when it was Ding Tea, and it had more of a laid-back, college hangout vibe. The space has since changed quite a bit .... there's now a row of crane games along one wall, which gives it a different energy than before. Service was fine, and the drinks came out quickly. Overall, it may still be a good spot depending on what you order and the kind of vibe you're looking for, but for us it didn't quite match what we were hoping for this time around.

Soursop Green Tea
Tracie M.

Former Ding Tea that's been rebranded. The menu seem to have some of the same classics and favorites. And they even kept the bubble waffles. I only go here for the sour sop tea, when I'm craving one, and I was very happy to see that they kept that on their menu. The interior looks like it had a spring cleaning with a fresh coat of paint, game tables, furniture, and layout. Service was fast, came in after lunch, so was not busy at all.

Jasmine green milk tea
Paul K.

Camie is a newer shop in the balboa plaza, seems to be related or similar to Ding Tea. They have a small shop with a few seats and some Japanese claw machines, but mainly geared toward take out. The tea/boba was decent, nothing spectacular but not bad either. One issue was the drink was absolutely loaded with ice, and the ice they use is a smaller size so it gets sucked up in the straw. Would advise on less ice if you end up going. Service was friendly, prices were average, would not go out of the way to visit but if in the area it's a solid choice!

matcha latte
Morgan K.

Love this tea place! Their matcha is super high quality and creamy, and their waffles are super good! They even gave us a sample of their pandan waffles which are super chewy inside and crispy outside :)

Mango sticky rice

Nice place! Mango sticky rice boba - my favorite!) Perfect service - love it. next time ll try jasmine boba milk tea

I absolutely adore the workers, and when there are mistakes, they usually fix my order immediately based on what's missing. If you're overwhelmed looking at the menu, it honestly never misses--especially the recommended or favorited drinks. My go-tos are the milk teas, Orange Yakult, or fruit teas with mini pearls. My favorite part about Wushiland is that they're overly generous with topping servings, AND it's the same price for multiple toppings if you don't want a bajillion mini pearls and would rather balance it with other options. They have two self-service kiosks with multiple options for adjusting your drink, as well as in-person ordering in case you have questions. I've always been a fan of Wushiland, and since they opened this location, I'm the happiest local boba connoisseur everrrrr!!

Heh...Taiwanese Professional Tea they say? Let's just say I definitely felt like a Taiwanese…read moreProfessional after drinking their tea. Inside the building, I was greeted by a plump, circular, brown figure with a smile on his face. He had a delightful yellow satchel on, a matching beret, and a yummy-yummy-in-my-tummy-looking milk tea in his left hand. The warm atmosphere made me feel like I was being hugged by the figure himself. When I laid my eyes on him, I didn't just want him, I wanted to BE him. A voluptuous tapioca pearl with a constant smile. I was determined to do whatever it took to become him. The first step was to acquire the same drink he had in his left hand, which I assumed to be a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 70% sugar, less ice, and boba. One particularly sweet lady delivered me my drink by hand. One, two, three sips later--the Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 70% sugar, less ice, and boba didn't just hit my tastebuds, it hit my soul. I could tell that the tea, the architecture, even the workers were birthed by certified Taiwanese Professionals. EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING, was exceptionally creamy as one might say. I felt one step closer to being Mr. Tai Wan himself. (my self-proclaimed name for the voluptuous tapioca pearl). Later that day, I picked up a yellow bag and hat from the nearby Burlington. I looked in the mirror, with my Jasmine Green Milk Tea with 70% sugar, less ice, and boba in my left hand. I grinned at the thought that one day I will become a voluptuous tapioca pearl. I owe my life to Mr. Tai Wan and TPTEA. Thank you.......for everything...or should I say....xie xie. I WILL be coming back, for the tea AND Mr. Tai Wan.

I can't wait to try the other flavors on the menu. They have seating inside the store as well for you to sit awhile. A pleasure to have this place to visit for a nice drink.

They have a large selection of milk tea, iced tea, and matcha drinks to choose from. They also typically offer a sample of one of their drinks daily that they rotate out. The drink sweetness and ice is fully customizable, and you can order through the kiosk or with the cashier. I ordered the roasted buckwheat and barley milk tea with brown sugar (tapioca) jelly at 75% sweetness and 75% ice. It is a unique flavor that I wouldn't normally go for, but they offered it as their sample when I visited and it was delicious! There was a strong barley flavor and the drink had the perfect amount of sweetness. The jelly was also very good. My friend ordered the genmai green tea with the silky custard topping, which she was also a big fan of! Their silky custard topping reminds me of egg pudding. On weekdays, the shop offers a fun promotion where if you order 2 drinks, you can play pinball for a chance to win a discount on your drinks or receive a free sticker. The interior is very airy and spacious with one large table for seating and benches to sit on at the edges of the store. I am already looking forward to coming back to try some of their other drinks! I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

I have been coming back for more and having been recommending it to my friends!! Shop is small but it's clean (and the restroom too)! I have stayed there a few afternoon doing some remote work and it's quite pleasant! Their music is always fun (kpop, R&B..etc) The parking lot gets tough to park between 6-8pm during the weekends but other time are manageable so I usually stop by before it gets busy. It's a small shop that delivers quality drinks! I'm so glad that they won me back! ;)

You can even customize the amount of fruit pulp that they add, and they have less sweet options for the jelly toppings (light vs. regular). If you are committed to fresh tea, the Teaspresso drinks are brewed to order. Of the coffee drinks, I am a fan of the Sweet Cream version - at 20-50 percent sweet, it is plenty sugary imo. I also love that they are open in the morning (9:30), well before noon - unlike the majority of the tea places in the Convoy area.

I've been wanting to check this place out. A family member had stopped by and told me they enjoyed…read morethe tea and desserts there. I guess they underwent a name change because it used to be Rare Tea or something like that. So I finally stopped by recently and ended up ordering tea and some cheesecake. I got the Banana Cream Coffee and three different flavors of cheesecake (Oreo, Cookie Butter and Berry). I really liked the coffee... it had a strong banana cream flavor, but it didn't overpower the coffee. I enjoyed it and will definitely order it again. I will probably order it after I try a few other things on their menu that I'm curious about. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try to cheesecake. My family ate them... they aren't huge slices or anything. Looks like 4-5 bites would end one cheesecake. They did tell me they liked the Oreo and Cookie Butter. That's what happens when you have fatties in the family. Oh well, I have an excuse to go back. I did find their pricing a little strange. A flight of three cheese cakes is $15.75 which is $5.25 each. A pack of two is $8.50 which is $4.25 each. So it is cheaper to buy the two pack. I guess they are charging more for the variety. I think they'd probably sell more if it were a little cheaper like $12.00 per flight (or $4.00 per cheesecake). They have since updated their pricing (as of July 2026). On a different visit, I was finally able to try the cheesecake. I like both the Cookie Butter and Oreo, but if I had to choose only one I'd go with Oreo. I also tried their Ube Mochi Cake. It was moist, doughy and chewy on the inside with good ube flavor. I really enjoyed it and will try the other flavors next time. The place is clean. There are two self serve kiosks inside. There is a taller table where you can stand and enjoy your drink. They have no chairs in there at all. So you can't sit inside to enjoy your drink and dessert which is kind of a bummer. Also means it's not a place where students can hang out to student or where people can come to do work on their laptop or just chill. I guess the owner just doesn't want to deal with any of that. I'll return for drinks and some dessert, but if I'm in the mood to sit and relax or study at a tea joint this is not the place. So unless I'm in the mood for one of their drinks and okay with going home, I would not prioritize visiting here. It kind of sucks because the drinks and desserts are pretty good. There are probably people like me that like the drinks and desserts but might choose to go somewhere else because there is no seating. Plenty of parking at this shop. They do close early at 7:00pm and are closed on Tuesdays. Plan accordingly. We are fans and will continue to return. 4 / 5: Drinks and Desserts 4 / 5: Cleanliness 3.5 / 5: Service (they can get busy, but they usually greet when you walk in) 4 / 5: Overall (rounded up)

Many small tables and mostly booth seating. The booth seating has some comfy pads and you can grab some stackable chairs to sit. The seating area could be more clean. I think it's better in smaller groups for the seating area (2-3 people). Most people ordered for takeout, but it's nice to sit and enjoy the playlist.
