Service was great and quick. I got an iced matcha milk tea with coconut jelly and it was so yummy - I usually get half sugar at other places but I didn't have any modifications for this one and it was perfect :) Super cute inside too + playing disney music is always a win! read more

Very good Ding Tea location, they might have been under construction however. Their honey milk tea with boba is bomb. Prompt and friendly service too. Pretty spacious inside with some tables and chairs. Also right next to Korea House if you are hungry for dinner. Recommended! read more

The place smells strongly of chlorine upon walking in - I guess that's a "clean" smell rather than otherwise... but it's weird. I like smelling coffee when walking into a coffee store, or sugar in a donut place, or tea in a tea house. It was towards the end of the day, so maybe they were cleaning up. My first experience at a boba house, I always get the very basic milk tea with boba. Based on previous experiences, I usually start with half ice and half sugar, and that always hits my tastebuds right. Ding did it for me - very strong in the very basic. My group ordered a bunch of other stuff, and no one had any complains. We had a great time sitting and chatting and enjoying our drinks. read more

The Monster tea was absolutely delicious. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The place was clean and had a great atmosphere.

Ding tea has great service and I would say go here for milk tea instead of fruit. Their fruit teas are good but their milk teas are the best I've had. Their tapioca is a little different but still yummy. read more

Waited 40 minutes for 6 drinks. It's your only job. Tea. It wasn't even busy. Get your shit together.

Haven't been here in a year. They still only opens for ordering to go. We ordered 2 monster boba latte -large size ( kind of dirty brown sugar milk tea). They were so yummy, the boba were fresh. Have to come back here more often. Side note: certain milk tea you can order sugar and ice level which is pretty nice. read more

Overall good taste, but it took awhile to get drinks since they seemed to be backed up with orders. Overall good selection of teas and toppings. Would definitely come back again when stopping in East Lansing. read more

Ding Tea - Matcha green tea and egg pudding - Coffee & Tea Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

Ding Tea is one of my favorite bubble tea places in East Lansing. The Signature Milk Tea, which is black milk tea, is good and is typically my go to drink. The Jasmine Milk Tea is also good. Ding Tea allows you to adjust the amount of sugar in your drink and offers two sizes. The prices are similar to other bubble tea places but they do tend to put more ice than other places. They have a lot of toppings to choose from but the downside is they don't offer the traditional boba. They offer the golden boba but it's not as soft as traditional boba. read more

Ding Tea --- the new way to my heart. The anticipation of Ding Tea has skyrocketed ever since I heard of a new bubble tea place under construction. Its located right next to Korea House, which is about a 10 minute drive from MSU campus, or you could take a bus straight to that plaza. Upon entering the newly opened business, we(my brother and I) noticed that the interior is decorated beautifully; its aesthetically pleasing and good for foodies to have a nice background for our photos. Behind the counter, you can see how passionate and the effort they put into to create this delicious concoction. We both ordered the signature milk tea and it didn't take long for us to receive it. The first sip brought me into another world. The tea was not too strong nor too subtle, and the sweetness level was almost perfect. There is something unique about the flavor of the signature milk tea. Its almost as if it has a slight honey taste incorporated into the drink, which I LOVE. On the otherhand, the tapioca pearls that I got were inconsistent in chewiness. There were a few that weren't cooked all the way through, and then there were some that was too soft. In addition to that, I wish that they had the black tapioca pearls, but its mainly for the aesthetic purposes(and I dont know why but they taste better in my opinion). Overall, I would definitely come back to Ding Tea. I will say that this is the best bubble tea place in all of Michigan and I recommend going at least once to try it out. read more

Always a consistent and reliable boba place to go to. Service was quick and our boba came out soon after we ordered. Very nicely decorated with a few seats and good picture spots. Ding Tea never lets us down. read more

Solid bubble tea. The milk tea wasn't too sweet, and the tapioca was just the right consistency of chewiness. Ordering was pretty easy and straightforward. The employees worked fast. This is definitely an operation that knows what it's doing and how to do it authentically well. I wish this place had been around when I was in undergrad. It definitely feels like a step up from the now retired Bubble Island. This place is legit. I look forward to going back and trying something new read more

I've tried multiple boba tea shops in the area, including ones that are "fancier" with more add ins or toppings. Ding tea is still the one I always return to. It's flavor is the best and always consistent. Staff are very kind. Bonus points for the shop being really cute with a mural by a local artist. The brown sugar, monster, and peach milk teas are my go-to favorites. read more

I was so happy to find out there is a Ding Tea around here. We moved from Southern California to Michigan and I was so sad because Orange County has a ton of Boba shops so this is the next best thing I can get. I have ordered a bunch of different drinks at a different location and they are no different here. The only thing they don't offer is food at this location which is kind of a bummer. You can't really mess up boba so I was happy they passed the test. I usually like to order online and then pick up because the shop can get pretty busy. By the time I get to the shop for pick up it is ready to go. One thing that is different are the prices. A large size drink here is about a dollar more expensive than a large size drink in California (which I think should be the opposite). This shop doesn't offer a point rewards system. Will be coming here whenever I get cravings for boba. read more

Ding Tea - a colorful mural on the wall - Coffee & Tea Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

**Boba Princess Approved** Ding Tea is a refreshing boba addition to Lansing/East Lansing area! Ding Tea is a worldwide chain and has presence in California as well :) I have visited at least 3-4 times and each time has been a pleasant experience. Ding Tea EL recently opened in winter, December 2018 (?) next to Greyhound/bus Transportation Station in the west side of MSU campus. Location is super ideal as I always swing by to grab a boba when I take the Greyhound back to Grand Rapids haha! DT is situated in a food/business plaza next to Korea House and other restaurants/markets. It's a good compliment with aplenty parking. Inside, the ambiance is bright and cute. They have two striking walls-- a green plant covering and a rainbow wing mural. Typical but cute nonetheless. Over time, they've added more tables and chairs to accommodate for more customers. Hoping they'll nail down a perfect feng shui setting for their indoor arrangement. Otherwise, better to take boba to-go. Staff is young and friendly. They're accommodating and knowledgeable, but wait time is still slow due to training. There are a few familiar faces that I guess are the managers/owners. Menu is pretty extensive with a good variety of drinks- teas, milk teas, smoothies, etc. Toppings are standard...but there is NO BLACK HONEY BOBA!!! I was shook. They have golden boba which is a little bit softer and not as chewy. I am not sure if it is still made of tapioca but it is different from agar white pearls (high fiber seaweed). Highly recommend: hot signature black milk tea, iced oolong milk tea, Hokkaido oolong milk tea, Thai tea with your desired topping. Prices are reasonable, but a bit pricey for EL! Cash/card accepted read more

Grabbed a cup of lychee green tea with jellies at Ding Tea and it wasn't bad but in the last few years I've found other bubble tea places that I enjoy more, which is why my rating dropped from 5 stars to 4 stars for this spot! read more

Perfect place to catch up with a friend. The highlight of the place of course are the drinks. I tried one of the recommended teas, the classic taro milk tea, and I loved it. The taro definitely came through with the sugar lid being on point. I definitely want to go back and knock out the recommended drinks list! read more

First time coming here my reaction was wow no line. The decor of the wings is Instagram worthy. The menu is pretty large. I got the taro latte with boba. Taste was 4/5 with enough of sweetness. It would be 5 stars if I didnt give it a 5star because I had to shake it myself. Even with the lid closed, I had some of the drink spilled on me. Overall Good drink and will come again and recommend spot. read more

I got their large signature bubble tea, large, 1/2 sugar and their bubble is gold color unlike black or rainbow color like other bubble shops. Like Kung Fu Tea, they charge you for the small, then when you order large, you get upcharged. Ordering took some time since this was my first time. After paying we waited... they don't have the shaker machines here, they hand shake all their drinks, whereas Kung Fu Tea has those machines that does the shaking for you. As we waited, they called out order numbers, but I never got an order number or a receipt... so I just waited until the folks in front me grabbed their drink, then went up and just happened to see my name on the order printout. So how was it? even though I got it 1/2 sweet, it was still on the sweet side. However, they do give you a lot of ice, so as the ice melts, it dilutes the sweetness. As for the taste, it was decent - not on the same level as the bubble tea in Taiwan of course, but it was decent. I hate to say it, but I had better bubble tea at other locations, however I'll be back to try their other offerings. Since they don't have sake machines, this is going to be the bottle neck in their operation... when they are busy, you are going to have folks in the back shaking those drinks like mad dogs lol... I hope they invest in those machines :) Its good to see this side of town with a bubble tea shop, as others are all concentrated on the other side of the campus or on grand river. read more

Teas are good. But between the drink making, the mask wearing, the plexi glass, the loud music in the store, customer cant hear jack when the employees are trying to ask questions and confirm orders. Then everyonr stands outside trying to listen to the order number. Totally disatrous customer experience. Will Not visit again. read more

Excellent service and drinks are delicious! Easy to order over the phone which is nice when I'm on the road. We go about once a month and look forward to it every time! read more

Monster boba latte is the best drink every. I haven't been super impressed with their other drinks but their boba is always good. I got lychee once and didn't like the texture, it's not the same here as it is other places. read more

Their drinks are always spot on & have good options! But every-time I go there the customer service sucks. :/

It's not often a place has 5-star product, 5-star service, AND 5-star cleanliness; but this is the place that does! I LOVE their Signature Milk Tea! Go there TODAY! read more

Great boba, not overly crowded location, decent service and tea, two great Insta backdrops. What more could you ask for?

Loved the interior design of the location! It's on the outskirts of MSU by the highway exit, so the location is prime. I ordered the honey milk tea with coconut jellies and jasmine green tea with boba. The honey milk tea was very very sweet. It seems like too much honey or sugar was added. The coconut jellies rests in lychee juice so it's a great topping to add. The jasmine green tea was better. I'd prefer the bobas to have more flavor, they seem pretty bland. It was a good consistency to chew on though. This was a borderline 3/4 star bubble tea shop, but I'm glad that the workers stopped and had a conversation with us. His extra effort to make our experience more involved help make this a 4 star boba shop! I can see them doing great things in the future for the community! read more

Stopped in with my cousin for a few teas and they were fabulous. I'm not a boba girl but they whipped me up something they said I would enjoy. Nice staff and clean atmosphere read more

The people running this place are extremely racist. On multiple occasions I have watched as they make black people wait so that they can serve Asians and white people first. They will take your order, take your money, and then leave you standing there for 30 to 45 minutes every time while whites and Asians come in, order, and are served long before you. There are other options people. Don't give these racists your money read more

Best boba in East Lansing! (: It is usually pretty busy, so you might have to prepare to wait a little bit. However, I have never had a bad experience. My favorite is the signature milk tea or the peach milk tea with golden boba and lychee. read more

Nicely kept place with fantastic staff. The girls behind the counter are always hustling. The strawberry yakult is by far my favorite drink (perfect drink for those who aren't huge fans of bubble tea). I've tried the mango one as well that was also great.

Ding Tea - Drinks for the next couple of days - Coffee & Tea Near Me - East Lansing, Michigan

I am quite impressed with the milk tea here. It is very authentic to the Taiwanese type of tea. For me, I'd prefer it to be a little less on the sweet side, but that's pure preference. You cannot go wrong with the signature milk tea or any variation of the signature milk tea. It's a good punch of tea flavor which is important when you're talking about a quality milk tea. The bubbles are of the smaller variation and are just perfect in consistency. You can swap bubbles for grass jelly if you're not a fan of bubbles, or go without anything if you prefer more tea. Most of the trades come hot or cold. I wish I lived closer, I'd be a daily customer... move aside, Starbucks! read more
