    PISTACHIO MATCHA FRAPPE with blended Oreo
    KayAnna S.

    I have always loved Ding Tea! This has been a favorite location of mine for years, honestly, since they opened they have been my favorite. I love the consistency of all of their milk teas and boba and I love the fun flavors/combos they create. I usually get most of my drinks at 25%-50% sweetness since every drink has their own natural sweetness. Everytime I go, I am always greeted by the sweetest team members. It's really easy to order and drinks come out pretty quickly. I usually like to sit inside, but there are only a few tables and they can get busy, so sometimes it's difficult to find seating. It usually really easy to find parking in the plaza, although it may not be close to Ding Tea. My usual go-to orders for milk teas are matcha, taro, monster Ube, brown sugar, and oreo. I love that you can ask for alternative milks with most of their milk teas. I recently had the pistachio matcha Oreo frappe with boba. It was so good! Might be one of my favorites now. Love the creamy thickness of the pistachio matcha Oreo frappe with fresh boba. I had this at 50% sweetness as the Oreo (that was blended in) definitely is plenty sweet and I loved the balance of the nutty flavor from the pistachio. You can't go wrong with any drink though because they kill it with every flavor and combo.

    Was craving a peach green tea. Service was fast. Even at 25% sweet, it was a little sweet for me.

    Came in for a Mango Slush with boba. We've never been here or other locations. I was disappointed with the mango slush as other places are creamy and milk based with dark boba. Here, the slush melted really fast because the boba was warm. So we ended up with half melted slush with warm little boba. The taste was meh as well. Will not return because this seems like a no brainer with a slush. Good points: place was clean, sit down tables, nice lighting, smelled amazing from waffle cone, and service was pretty quick... but no smiles or greeting. Service needs improvement. More police and friendly workers. ..... and no warm boba!

    SIGNATURE MILK TEA SLUSH
    Kaitlyn W.

    The first drink we ordered was a signature milk tea slush with golden boba. Ding tea has one of my favorite boba - its always just the right chewiness and sweetness. The signature milk tea slush is exactly what is sounds like - signature milk tea flavor but in slushy consistency. Rating: 9/10 The second drink was a thai tea slush. This drink was extremely sweet so I would definitely recommend getting 75% or even 50% sweetness customization if you order this drink. Rating: 5/10. Service was friendly and pretty quick. We waited about 5-10 min for our drinks. Ambiance inside was cute - had lots of halloween decorations and even a backdrop for pictures for those interested.

    The wait time was about 25 minutes, which is a lot for one drink. To be fair it was pretty busy and there were only two employees. The signature milk tea with boba and mango jellies was good, 4.5/5. Interior works, it was just so busy and there weren't enough chairs for everyone waiting. Made the local bike kids laugh by farting with my Tesla. "Make a wise life"

    Cheezy ube and cheezo oreo
    Allyson D.

    Wowza! Who knew North County has been waiting for boba to hit up here. This place was biZy! But wow, I enjoyed my drink a lot! I went adventurous.. because I really don't stray too much from my tea or milk tea with boba. This time, I wanted this oreo looking shake called Cheezo oreo. It was yummy! Also, I noticed their golden boba is a tad different than honey boba, huh? I'm no expert, but it has a slight Chewier bite. Not as soft on the outside like the honey boba (the black tapioca balls). I like it, but I almost prefer honey boba. They had a kiosk at the front with a sign to use when busy, but it was not on. There were a few tables inside and outside. It's in the same shopping center as Guahan Grill and IHOP. I'll be back for boba at Ding!

    boba was good as usual. My issue was that we ordered a bubble waffle and they gave us an old one. if you look at the time stamp on the drinks, it was 7pm when we ordered. but the waffle we received was ordered at 6:42 and it was a different order number. We got a hard cold waffle that had been sitting out for at least 18 minutes. It just wasn't a good look.

    Wintermelon milk tea
    Nikki Y.

    This is my go-to boba spot in North San Diego! The teas here are always so good, and they have a great selection to choose from. My absolute favorite is the wintermelon milk tea with 75% sugar, caffeinated, it's perfectly sweet and refreshing every time. The boba is always on point, with just the right chewiness. Highly recommend if you're in the area and need a boba fix! Service is quick!

    thinking of doing this at my own workplace! so artsy and cute

As soon as you walk through the entrance gate, you are transported to a lovely tea garden. We did make reservations ahead as it is reservation only. Rushell greeted us and we were quickly seated. We chose the La Dolce Vita Tea Experience. We were able to sniff the tea leaves first in individual test tubes which absolutely helped me pick my tea. I loved that experience! Once everything was selected, we were brought out our teas and salads. The salad was refreshing and I especially enjoyed the fresh tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and house vinaigrette. I had the Eiffel tea and absolutely loved it. I typically prefer black teas with either hints of floral or fruit notes and this tea had the perfect combination. We were then given our individual towers/ tea tiers which consisted of three sandwiches (smoked salmon pinwheels, apple Brie melt, and Prosciutto, Feta And Balsamic Fig Sandwich) of our choosing, a cranberry orange cake scone with creme Fraîche and strawberry preserves, and a trio of desserts (lemon cake with blueberries, petite four, and a rosemary shortbread). I honestly loved everything I ordered. I loved the cake scone as it was very moist and the sandwiches were all divine with powerful flavors in each bite. I didn't love the creme fraîche, as I prefer clotted cream with my scones, but it does offer a great break from sweetness of the cake scone. I especially enjoyed how toasted the Apple Brie melt was. I love short breads and petite fours, so I'm a bit biased but they were my favorite desserts. Not only did we have a lovely time due to the atmosphere, tea, and delicious food, but we thoroughly enjoyed Rushell herself! She was so welcoming and shared so much with us.
