This location is in the Source and open late, unlike some other spots in that shopping center. I ordered their special Monster Boba, which is like a brown sugar milk tea that comes with boba. Really sweet, decadaent, and creamy - everything you'd want in a drink like this. The boba was perfectly chewy too. I feel like I've had better "brown sugar milk tea" drinks elsewhere - this one was not outstanding, but not bad, so hence the 4 stars. They also didn't have any AC inside, so many patrons found it unbearable and had to drink and walk around outside. read more

It was okay. Ordered chocolate shake for my kids and there's a lot of ice cubes that were not blended. read more

I walked in here and it smelled like cleaner and it was somewhat off putting. I ordered my usual Signature Milk Tea in hot. The drink was watered down and not what I was expecting at Ding Tea. It was an off night. The wait was decent. I like they have a good amount of seats. Free parking in the parking garage! read more

Ding Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buena Park, California

With all these new boba shops opening up lately, Ding Tea will forever hold a special place in my heart. I'm more of an iced tea lover when it comes to boba shops but when I'm craving a milk tea, Ding Tea is where I always go to for their Signature Milk Tea. I usually don't get tapioca either unless it's from Ding Tea because I love their golden boba! I've been to probably hundreds of boba places at this point and not many places have Wintermelon as one of their flavors or if they do, it just doesn't taste as good to me like it does from Ding Tea. Their wintermelon is usually made with green tea but I personally like it better with black tea and the employees are always nice enough to make it that way for me which I appreciate. The employees I've encountered are always nice and accommodating. This location is located at the source and there are a few other competitors there as well but Ding Tea will always be my choice when I visit the source. The source is a busy place so it can get crowded in the store and it doesn't have lots of seating inside but there's plenty of spots outside all around the source where you can have a seat and enjoy your drinks. read more

I've only gotten 1 drink here, but it was so good! I got their specialty Monster Boba, which did not come with caffeine. That is usually my struggle when I come to these boba places in the evening, because I can't do actual tea at night. I love how fast the service is here, my drink was out almost instantly. The brown sugar drip on the sides were actually SO good, and the drink wasn't too sweet even though I had the sweetness level at a solid 75%. The golden boba was probably the best boba I've ever had: just the perfect amount of chewy, bouncy, poppiness. This drink is literally living rent free in my head! Plenty of parking in the plaza, as this location is in The Source! read more

Just your regular neighbor hood Ding Tea. It seems like they are every where these days but they have consistently drinks and know what to expect these days. I had ordered the Chocolate Milk Tea and the Signature Milk Tea with boba. They were both good, except the boba felt old as they were extra chewy and a little harder than what I've usually had. As good as the chocolate milk tea was I'm more of a black milk tea person which is what the signature milk tea is. There's seating both inside and outside and this is located at the Source (First Floor) in Buena Park. Just park in the structure and you are good to go. read more

Great selection of caffeinated and non caffeinated drinks! The butterfly lychee drink was so cute and fun to mix! The drink itself was very refreshing and perfect for a hot day out. The employee was also very kind and knowledgeable about the menu. We received our drinks in a very timely manner too. Fantastic service! read more

Hey, I love Ding Tea and everything, but the people that work here is rude when it's slow. The person that was at the counter was using his phone while we were looking at the menu and there was no one else in line since it was so empty. He did not greet or offered to help us with the menu. When we finally made up our minds to order a drink, he finally went to the counter. He looked annoyed and bored when he took our order. He walked away the moment that we've paid without saying a single word which was awkward as heck. The girl that helped him to give us the drink didn't seem to help either. She just silently handed us the drink, without looking at us and quickly walked away chat with him in the back. The Lychee Green Tea drink was refreshing for a hot day at the Source. But the people that took our order left a really bad aftertaste. read more

This Ding Tea is located at The Source on the first floor. I wasn't aware that there was a parking garage since we're not from this area, but we ended up parking right across the street near a kbbq restaurant (the walk wasn't too far). I always get my matcha milk tea. What I like about Ding Tea is their golden boba and that most locations I've been to make their drinks consistently the same. read more

One of the best things at the Source! I'm quite familiar with the franchise and this location makes their drinks very similar to the others. The menu and sizing are pretty much the same. The only thing that might differ amongst locations is the price, but that's pretty common. * Honey Green Milk Tea: 10/10 - tasty and they adjusted the sweetness level perfectly * Golden Boba (Topping): 9/10 - soft and chewy The interior is very beautiful and they have a couple of tables to sit at. They're located on the ground floor so it should be easy to locate. The workers were pretty nice and made our drink quickly. Without this boba shop, I probably wouldn't come to the Source as much, to be honest. Highly recommend! read more

Of course grabbing boba after dinner is mandatory. This was the only spot open late until 10:30pm. Parking: There's a free parking structure. Finding a spot can be a hit or miss. There are compact parking spots, so be careful. Ambiance/Parking: They have a small space with limited indoor seating. No outdoor seating. It's pretty clean inside with a cute floral decor on the wall. Service: The workers were quick & efficient. The cashier that assisted us was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us good recommendations. Throughput was under 3 min after ordering. Drinks: We've been to many Ding Teas, so we've tried majority of their drinks. I wanted something refreshing, so I got the Lychee Milk Tea w/ crystal boba. This tasted exactly how it sounds. The lychee definitely came through. The crystal was firm & chewy. My bf got the Thai Latte w/ almond milk. It wasn't his favorite; he's gotten better Thai drinks. He thought it was okay - the Thai flavor was lacking. Pricing: Decent prices $$ for boba drinks. I haven't been to a Ding Tea in a while. I was really surprised that they now offer way more drinks. Will come back to try their new offerings. read more

I frequent the Source OC often for the kpop events that are held there. Pretty much every time I'm there, I'm grabbing a drink at Ding Tea. Usually, the line is pretty long as other kpop fans are also in line grabbing a drink, so I understand that there will be a wait. I was there on June 7th for another kpop event, and no one was in line. There was maybe one other person in the shop waiting for their drink. Somehow, it took 10-15 mins to get my drink. I got winter melon milk tea with NO boba, so I wasn't waiting on a new batch of boba or anything. The drink was fine and tasted great, but I do think it came out too slowly when there was no one in the shop. In general, this location in particular takes longer to make drinks compared to other locations I've been to, even during busy times. I'm not sure if it's the availability, equipment, or staff, but this is definitely a place for improvement. read more

This boba place is located within the OC Source. Definitely a great place to take some pictures with your boba drinks and friends because they have a cute interior. There was plenty of parking since it has a parking structure with free parking next to it. The shop is small so if you have a big group, it is better to get your drinks and head outside. It is a little pricey for the boba drinks because of the sizes, but they do have a good variety of different drinks. I got a wintermelon milk tea with their golden honey boba, and it was a tasty basic drink. Service was friendly and very quick in having our orders out since there was a lot of people waiting. It isn't a bad place to get boba, especially if you like the Ding Tea chain. read more

This Ding Tea is located at the Source, and there is plenty of parking. My friends and I stopped by after we had dinner nearby. I love the overall aesthetics of the shop. It is a cute small shop, so if you drop by with a large group there might not be enough seating inside. The service was quite quick, we got our tea pretty fast. I got a passion fruit yakult at 75% sweetness and would say it was pretty good. I like how it wasn't too sweet and just enough balance for an after meal drink. read more

Boba Tea after dinner in Buena Park, California... My friends wanted to meet somewhere after supper. They selected Ding Tea at The Source - maybe because of the free parking in the structure. The Source has many shopping and dining options. If friends don't agree on one place, they can split up, be happy, and meet up together later. Luckily, we all like Ding Tea. We each chose something different to drink. We were quite pleased to have a chat in the cute environment. The Instagram-worthy wall was the highlight. The one thing I didn't like was the strange odor. The shop had a weird fragrance that wasn't pleasant. I was glad to go outside, but I got used to it. Haha! I did like my Butterfly Lychee drink! It had a pretty purple layer, and it wasn't too sweet. It was fruity and refreshing! Thanks, friends, for a fun catch-up session! read more

I haven't tasted the boba yet but I put the order in 20 min ago and the two girls who se very lost was asking what I ordered. I had to tell them my order- lychee milk tea with lychee jelly + golden boba, 50% sweet and less ice. It's complicated order I guess. But I wonder if ownership changed. I had to wait for them make three orders. One of the girl says that they no longer have tablet and that's why they didn't have my order? ‍ read more

Came for some milk tea. Prices were as usual pricey but they make pretty good milk tea. First time ordering the monster boba latte. It said no caffeine so I thought it'll be a good predinner drink. It comes with cheese, so was a bit skeptical. Unfortunately I didn't read everything before placing the order. It was great, though I didn't order less sugar or less ice, it wasn't so sweet at first, so I mixed it a bit. Still not as sweet but got sweeter as I drank more of it to the bottom. Boba was good, chewy and firm. Took less than a few minutes to get my order. The inside was beautiful, has a wall full of roses. Very bright decorations. Plenty of seating when we walked in, but we had other places to visit so didn't stay long. My mom pointed out that some of the seat cushions have stains.... read more

I feel like my matcha didn't have almond milk on there because it gave me tummy troubles after a while. Which is annoying because I'm sure most of these powders are already mixed with dairy/lactose in there. Sigh, I'll really have to avoid any type of milks from now on. However, the blueberry green tea! That is absolutely my favorite. I need to find the syrups and start drinking it at home because why I am I so addicted. I wish they had sugar level options like other places because there was a tad bit too much in there. Anyway, the store or the driver for Ubereats forgot straws for my drinks, so it took some digging to find the right straws. Don't try using the ones without a sharp edge because they won't go through! All in all, I would say it's pretty affordable to order delivery if you're a lazy piece of crap like me. read more

Stopped by Ding Tea after dinner for a little drink and pick me up! This isn't the first Ding Tea I've been to. This location has a cute little photo op location against the wall. The seating at the location is a little strange, as all the seats are lined up against the perimeter of the inside, leaving the middle space primarily for folks standing/waiting in line. Still, the location is clean and there are no other major concerns. I got the Jasmine Green Milk tea initially, but it didn't taste the way that it usually does (I know, I'm being a baby, but it was EXTRA bitter and I really didn't enjoy it), but the staff members kindly changed out my drink to a different one (free of charge) and I was so grateful. The cashier and other staff members were really nice! They were helpful and friendly (always a bonus). All in all a cute place to hang out with your friends if you wanted to stop in for some AC and drinks :) read more

Yeah it's good boba. Service was fine and easy, the gentleman was helpful with some questions I had about the menu which I appreciate. I got two drinks: 1. matcha strawberry with grass jelly with zero added sugar and less ice. it was fine, the grass jelly was yummy and my drink tasted like any other matcha strawberry I'd get from different boba places. 2. lychee green tea with aloe and it was good. I asked for no added sugars and less ice but I don't believe that ever happened since it was pretty sweet and filled with lots of ice compared to my other drink. wouldnt visit again but the place is cute with lots of seats and in a good location since parking is free(if you can find a spot) read more

First time at this particular location. Love the floral decor on the wall for selfie pictures. I was in the mood for Vietnamese coffee, so I asked what the closest thing do they have to it. I was told Hokkaido coffee with caramel. I needed a pick me up to help me with the dreadful drive back home. The drink tasted pretty good and didn't leave a strong after taste either. My order was done in no time. The staff is friendly and the inside of the shop is really clean. read more

Dear Owner If you have camera, please run from 9:30~10pm I ordered taro shake and the guy working during this time on 7/5 Saturday made my order - I ordered large without boba. He made mine small with boba When I told him that the order is wrong, he took back, stuck a spoon in to remove all the boba (I was watching him) and blended extra to make it large - when the order came out, it didn't have any sweetness at all. Just tasted like ice and milk blended with no taste at all. I even had my wife taste them and she said the same thing that they forgot the sweetener. When I told him, he took it back, added sugar and mixed them with spoon, than decided to put it on a blender and re mix them because mixing with spoon didn't really work for him (now I don't want them anymore - it's disgusting) than bring it out which is now a taro milk tea. I ordered a shake, and after so many mix with spoons and blender, it's a melted milk tea. I literally stared at him, put down the drink and walked out because I didn't want that disgusting drink anymore. He was literally staring at me looking at the drink, laughing and walking out but he didn't care. You guys are disgusting. Owner should really fire him. Please run the cctv if you have. read more

Came here for boba on a Saturday afternoon around 4PM and it was pretty busy. However, they make drinks pretty quickly, so even if it appears crowded inside, you hopefully won't have too long of a wait! I ordered a matcha milk tea with boba and was a bit disappointed... the matcha milk tea had a slightly fruity aftertaste so I'm wondering if the cup that it was mixed in needed a more thorough rinse. I also found the boba to be a bit soft compared to other Ding Tea locations I've visited. Overall, I'll likely stick to the Ding Tea in Brea or La Mirada in the future! read more

Great for drinking and shopping ! It's a small shop next to all the stores, perfect for walking in and grabbing a drink before walking around. The vibes were so cute, like look at that wall!! Aloe Vera kiwi juice 5/5: it's on the customer favorites list for a reason. It's so refreshing and the aloe chunks are so satisfying to bite into. You can taste the kiwi but it's not over powering where it makes you sick. Perfect for a hot day! Matcha milk tea 5/5: I think this is my favorite drink from Ding Tea, it's sweet and not too milky. You can taste the slight matcha , its great for that sweet craving. Free wifi inside as well!! read more

This location is located at The Source. Kind of hard to map out this place and find it if you're not a usual or local here! Friends and I came here on a Saturday night at 10:15 pm and it wasn't too crowded. Just a few ppl here and there but after we ordered, a huge crowd came in and it started to get hot and stuffy in there so we just sat outside. Drinks ordered: Peach green tea w/ mango star fruit jelly, strawberry green tea w/ golden boba, Taro Mash, jasmine milk tea with boba, 2 signature milk teas with boba Friends said that their drinks tasted great and consistency of the boba was pretty good as compared to other ding teas they've had. I was actually really disappointed in my drink not having the star fruit jelly in it despite it being on the label of my drink. They put coconut jelly instead which is fine because I used to order that anyway, but star fruit jelly is so much more fun. The flavor of the peach green tea was decent though. Didn't have much interaction inside. Just ordered our drinks and left. The workers are kind and work quickly and efficiently. They have a super cute floral wall inside but it was so packed I couldn't take a picture. read more

Love this place! I usually drink the brown sugar one. I think they are little cheaper compared to boba time but still good.

This Ding Teach branch is located on the ground floor of The Source OC in Buena Park. The Source is a large shopping center full great eats and has a large free parking structure. Monster Boba Milk Tea with egg pudding was fantastic. What was even better is you can reduce the sugar level. Boba was cooked all the way through and has a great texture. There was a short line to order but it didn't take long at all before our order was taken. And considering the number of people in the shop, I'm surprised they managed to make our orders and get them to us within a very reasonable amount of time. read more

Food/drinks: 4/5 Service: 1/4 Ambiance: 2/5 Just came back from visiting this location of Ding Tea, and I'm super appalled at the service provided by the staff. There were only two visible staff of one lady who was making all the drinks, and a small, young male working the cash register and orders. He was very unprofessional and rude. He didn't hear the orders I had placed and got the order wrong and then had the audacity to put me on blast with his loud speaker stating, "I mean it's only $0.75" and etc. instead of just apologizing and diffusing the situation. He didn't seem to care about anything in the world except being proud he acted like an immature child. So, I just didn't even bother arguing with his rude demeanor of trying to embarrass a customer who did nothing wrong but walk in a business, trying to buy something. Also, the tables and the area of this cafe were very disgusting.. all the tables were dirty, sticky, and covered in unknown substances. Most tables were this dirty (in the picture below), so I did not want to try looking around more. The wall decor of flowers for pictures was definitely cute! The tea and drinks are usually pretty alright. I think it depends on who makes them and sometimes I get really water down drinks but today the drinks were pretty good! All in all, I hope this place either trains their staff again, recruit new ones, renovate the location, or either raise their workers' pay cause there is definitely an ongoing issue at this location. read more
