I would sell a kidney for their brown sugar boba Okay I need to talk about Ding Tea because I've officially become "that person" who brings it up in casual conversation unprompted. My husband has started timing how long I can go without mentioning it (current record: 6 hours, and honestly I'm not proud of that). The staff here are so genuinely kind that I've started to suspect they're either extremely well-trained or just secretly the nicest humans alive - I'm leaning toward the latter. Every single time I walk in it's warm greetings and zero judgment when I order something absurdly complicated with three add-ins and "light ice, not too light- 50% sweet." The tea itself tastes like it was brewed with actual love and not, you know, whatever sad tea bags are haunting other boba shops. Fresh, fragrant, the real deal. And the boba?? Cooked to that perfect chewy-not-mushy texture that feels like it should require a culinary degree. I've had boba elsewhere that tasted like sad little erasers. Not here. Here they respect the pearl. Honestly this place has ruined me for other boba shops in Escondido. I walk past competitors now like a woman who's found The One and simply cannot be tempted. 10/10, will be back approximately tomorrow. read more

Awesome place! Owner very accommodating and treated us like VIPS. Having a great day in sunny CA! read more

Didn't know there was a Ding Tea here? Stopped in after a work meeting and the place is spacious and clean. Lady at counter is so friendly and they have same menu that I'm used to for this franchise. Got me my kumquat lemon ice tea with golden boba and it hit the spot. They offer bubble waffles here as well and a few rolled cakes and slices of crepe cakes as well. read more

Love that there's a Ding Tea on this side of town! Run by a nice family, the owner was very helpful in giving me options for a non caffeinated drink for my daughter. Location is clean and bright, lots of fun games to play with. The Vietnamese coffee drink is like REAL Vietnamese coffee that will keep you up for days. So good!! read more

Cute little boba shop in a busy little shopping center. The shop is much bigger on the inside than it appears from the outside. The staff is very friendly and the shop offers 2 ways to order; direct with the staff at the register or at a stand up kiosk. Ordered a passion fruit mango tea and Thai milk tea with boba. Both drinks came out quick and were good! The upcharge for a large is an extra $1 and boba will also cost you an upcharge of $1. In total we paid about $18 after tax and tip. read more

Super friendly staff, delicious drinks with a lot of choices and customization options. I love the taste of their classic black milk tea with boba at half sweetness. It's perfect, not too sweet, not overly flavored with syrups or brown sugar but just a classic black tea with milk. The boba was perfectly cooked too. Will definitely be back! read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this location. I've tried other Ding Teas and the creamer for the milk teas had always bothered me. It never excited me. So after trying this location's classic milk tea with brown sugar boba, I found it had a good balance and the boba was perfectly chewy. Really great black milk teas. It looks to be family owned so I feel like there's greater attention to detail. read more

Was in the area and stopped by for some drinks for dessert. We got the Lychee iced tea for me and the Mango Soufflé drink for my boyfriend. My drink was good but a tad bit too sweet; I would go one notch lower for sweetness level. Enjoyed the lychee fruit inside. Boyfriend liked his Mango Soufflé drink which had cream mixed in. Service is super friendly here! Appreciated the Britney Spears and N*SYNC music playing read more

Ding Tea - Lychee iced tea and Mango Soufflé slush - Bubble Tea Near Me - Escondido, California

This location really is the best. It's clean, and the customer service is the best! The tea and slush are delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want fresh boba. They make their boba every few hours which keeps the boba soft and chewy, rather than hard which is what happens when boba is made and then refrigerated. read more

The tea itself was good, but the boba wasn't as soft as I expected and lacked flavor. I like that this place is close to home, but overpriced for the size. The employees were friendly, and the interior was nice. I'd go back to try a different topping next time. read more

Im not sure that the flavors of the teas here were made to what someone would expect. Ordered 2 drinks Thai milk tea - did not taste like the Thai tea blend tea. It tasted more like a black milk tea with orange coloring. Oolong milk tea - tasted like chocolate milk The shop itself is clean and cute. read more

This place was great! The boba was fresh and super sweet and tasty. The guy working there was super friendly and I loved that they had games to play while waiting. I'll definitely go back when I'm in the area. read more

This location looks like it opened about a month ago. Cute little spot with a few chairs for sitting area and also has some wall chair seating as well. They have self service machines to order or you can order from the front. They have some snacks for sale at the front as well. Which looks like cake and some other snacks. I got a Oreo chocolate slush, and with crystal boba, it came out super yummy. The wife got a brulee monster boba latte, she forgot to change the sweetness, so at 100% it's really sweet!!! Come try this new spot I think it's better and closer compared to some other bobas places nearby like sharetea read more

Friendly service, efficient. Smells amazing in here- fresh bubble waffles! Solid boba milk tea, very consistent

$10 for the tiniest amount of boba tea. And the boba itself has no bite, pretty lame texture honestly. Waste of money sadly

If I could rate this place 10 stars, I would! The staff is so kind and welcoming. The drinks taste so good! And the inside of the boba shop is cute with fun little games to play while you're waiting for your drink. We will be moving soon, but will come back to get boba from here every chance we get! read more

One of my favorite boba places. Thanks Hanh (I think that's what his name was) for his excellent customer service. 10/10!

This is our favorite Ding Tea location! We have one closer to home but always make the extra effort to drive to this location. We appreciate the family-oriented atmosphere. It's clean, bright and inviting. Everyone is very welcoming. I am a big black tea drinker and my go-to here is their oolong black milk tea with boba. The hubby's favorite is the strawberry black iced tea with boba. We love the texture of their boba. Always fresh, just the right sweetness and chew! The drink to boba ratio is spot on and our drinks are 100% made consistently good each and every time. We are loyal patrons of this Ding Tea! read more

Ding Tea is located across from El Pollo Loco near Mike's BBQ. It is clean and bright. There are two electronic kiosks to place and pay for your order. Menu is self-explanatory with images. The information of my order didn't quite transfer over. It apparently placed my order with another order, making me wait an additional 5 minutes while the other order was being completed. My name wasn't even printed on the label as well. The friendly counter person was confused and apparently they are also having problems with their straws being defective. Oh well. At least the Red Guava Fruit Tea was refreshing except next time I'm going to ask for less ice. Order less ice if you add popping balls. Order at the counter to get faster service. read more

This is my favorite Boba shop in San Diego. The owners are super nice and they make an effort to brew their tea fresh and cook their Boba fresh throughout the day. The extra effort is noticeable and appreciated. read more

The tea here is wayyyy better than share tea! The store is really festive for the holidays and the cash register lady was really sweet and gave me an additional chocolate brownie for free. If they have brownies, grab one, pretty sure they are the Costco Ghirardelli brownies which are the best ones! Definitely will be back!!! read more

So nice to see a Ding Tea near me, the vibe is nice, toddler friendly. This is a family ran business and they deliver quality drinks with quality ingredients you can taste from that initial sip down to the last. The main person who helped me was very knowledgeable about drinks and I felt very welcomed coming in. Will definitely be coming back Appreciate the kindness and great customer service. read more
