    Mango milk tea with golden and black boba x2, Vietnamese coffee with less ice, no boba
    Heidi C.

    DING TEA, ESCONDIDO (AUTO PARKWAY). The superior Ding location in Escondido! Full flavors, black and golden boba, welcoming clean atmosphere, super sweet customer service, games on the tables, festive decor, pleasant music, multiple seating options, order at counter or kiosk, accepting ApplePay, and plenty of roomy parking. I love bringing the kids here for an occasional yummy after school treat! Our favorite drinks are mango milk tea, Vietnamese coffee, Thai tea, mango slush, and passion fruit green tea. Delicious!

    Ding milk tea I believe with brown sugar boba
    Veronica W.

    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.

    Yummy boba drinks, variety of flavors and sweet kind workers. Our favorites are Thai tea, jasmine green milk tea and taro milk tea.. we like how you can adjust ice and sweetness.

    Lychee iced tea and Mango Soufflé slush
    Deanne L.

    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

    Brown sugar milk tea and Mango slush with boba. Homemade brownies!
    Jessica G.

    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.

    Passion fruit tea
    Maria I.

    Awesome energy from employees and delicious drinks! Super clean and welcoming. My go to when I'm in the area!

    Signature milk tea with boba
    Victoria S.

    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.

    Passion fruit Mango Ice Tea and brûlée Monster Boba Latte
    Adriana C.

    By far the best location I've been to! They have cute little games, it's always decorated so nicely and it's so clean! And not to mention the quality of the drinks are great and the staff is always very friendly and attentive!

    Oreo chocolate, brûlée monster boba latte
    Steven Binh N.

    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

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

The coffee was fine. The staff seem to know the local regulars and chat them up appropriately. The seating it still hard and uncomfortable. I'll try again one more time to see if hey flip my bippy. So far two stars for they way they interacted with other. One star for the pastry and the coffee mis up and late service was a - of stars. And my picky pastry folks (she knows who she is) would say it's not a true croissant, as there are cuts across the pastry... but it's buttery and flaky..

Both drinks come with an actual slice of tiramisu on top, which surprised me, l thought it would be more like a tiramisu flavored drink with hojicha or matcha mixed in. The tiramisu itself is really good, but personally I don't think it goes well with the drink. The texture of the cake while sipping the latte feels a little off. I also tried the nitro Vietnamese coffee. It was unusual because when you hear "Vietnamese coffee" you expect something strong, but this one was light and you can really taste the milk. I really enjoyed the bubble waffle series-especially the Oreo one. It's really good. The honey toast series was okay, nothing special. I got the honey toast with ice cream, and I remember honey toast being crispy but still easy to eat. This one wasn't crispy at all and the bread was tough. Overall, this place is reall good for matcha drinks.

I'd love to make this my "regular" neighborhood spot, but the coffee quality needs to be more consistent for that to happen. The Atmosphere: It's a quiet environment, which was good for productivity. Great location and friendly service, but I'm hoping the espresso improves!

    Reasonably priced with generous portions, but the flavors were ultimately underwhelming…read more There were 14 flavors available during my visit, including two sorbets. While the selection was respectable, there were not many particularly unique offerings. Most leaned heavily toward familiar vanilla or chocolate based profiles. The staff was generous with samples and allowed me to try as many flavors as I wanted, but unfortunately none of the three that caught my attention truly impressed me. The espresso was perhaps the weakest rendition I have encountered. It lacked both the boldness and aroma that make coffee flavored ice cream appealing. Whether the espresso itself was too diluted or simply not brewed strongly enough, the flavor struggled to make any impact. The stracciatella featured a straightforward milk base studded with chocolate shards. While this was a very traditional interpretation without unnecessary additions, the ice cream lacked the richness and depth needed to carry such a simple flavor profile. The chocolate provided texture, but the base itself felt flat. The sour cream and brown sugar ended up being my favorite of the three, largely because the brown sugar was actually distinguishable. The sour cream contributed an unusual tanginess that made the flavor more interesting, though the balance was inconsistent. Some bites highlighted the warm sweetness of the brown sugar, while others tasted predominantly of sour cream, creating a combination that occasionally felt at odds with itself. I appreciated that the small size included two flavors, and the employee serving me was generous with the scoops. Still, this ended up being a fairly forgettable stop. Those who enjoy gelato with bold, inventive, or highly concentrated flavors may find the offerings here a bit too restrained.
