Fast service and clean! We saw Ding Tea as we were driving by and decided to stop by. Mimi was working by herself and she works FAST! Even though we went towards near closing time, the boba was still chewy and the drinks were all so good read more

Ding Tea Rolling Meadows - Three bubble tea drinks are arranged on a white counter in a Ding Tea shop. The left drink is bright green, the middle is a creamy milk tea with a large straw, and the right is a pinkish milk tea with tapioca pearls at the bottom. The background shows a blurred view of the shop interior, including a staff member and menu screens. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

If you are looking for a Boba fix, look no further! Typical tea/boba shop. The bubble waffles made the place smell so good. The teas were good, not overly watered down or sweet. The flavor was strong and brewed well. The the smoothies were thick and smooth. I liked that a non-dairy creamer powder is used in the milk teas. Dairy usually upsets my stomach, so I was glad that I could enjoy these sweet treats. The service was friendly. We had a large group but they managed to prepare all the drinks in a fairly timely manner. We had some little kids in our group of 20+. The kids were so loud, making unnecessarily loud squeaking noises with their shoes and ran around, but they were so gracious towards us. read more

Dropped in here for a Taro Milk Tea with Boboa. It was ok, weak taro flavor, weak tea flavor. . Service was ok, they said the toilet is closed for customers!! The seating area is much nicer than other Boboa Milk Tea places. read more

Hey pretty average tea and Boba Place the drink was special and and pretty good and there was nothing to complain it's overall I enjoyed my experience in this small store. It was really no one in here on a cold Spring night and US didn't really have to wait too long not really much more to say except this is a good place if you want tea or boba read more

Normally I order a black/green milk tea as a baseline to taste a new boba shop. But I tried a blueberry green milk tea in the hopes it would be as amazing as another ding tea in California. It was not. It just tastes like the blueberry syrup. I'm not criticizing the syrup itself but the lack of balance with a fragrant green tea. The employee graciously remade the drink at 50% sweetness but I didn't taste any change. No issues with service. Again, I appreciate that the employee remade my drink. There's a decent amount of seating in the shop to chill at. I would still come back to taste a black/green milk tea because I love ding tea in California. read more

The cup has branding that matches the wall's theme, and the person's hand is visible, wearing a green jacket. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

Ok so as you can tell I love bubble tea. So last night we stopped here. Guess it must have been busy so they used different tapioca balls, but they were not that great. They also didn't have some items for drinks, but it's ok I finally settled for something else. You can sit, but we didn't stay. Side note.... Their washroom did not have toilet paper and the light did not work. Not cool because I already don't like public restrooms. (Sorry TMI) There was only one person working and it was busy. read more

My first time ever trying Ding Tea. I was immediately greeted by the host Mimi who was making a drink at the time for another customer. I thought that was nice that she took the time to acknowledge a new customer while she was working on an order. She was very patient with me as it was my first time and I wasn't quite sure what to order. I decided on a large signature milk tea with black boba, grass jelly, and egg pudding. It was delicious and it wasn't too sweet. It was just the right amount of sweetness for me. I also met the owner Ryan who told me they have only been open for about a month. He was super friendly and he explained all the drinks Ding Tea has to offer. Overall, the drinks I got were very good. Prices were good. Customer service was amazing. I can't wait to go back and try all the drinks Ryan mentioned that were some of his favorites like the Hokkaido tea, and some of the foam toppings like the cream cheese and the tiramisu. I definitely want to try that. They also have fresh mashed taro they incorporate into their drinks which is unique to Ding Tea. Most other Boba Tea chains offer the powdered version of taro so I know next time to try that. I also forgot to mention I tried their bubble waffle which was delicious. It's not overly sweet which is what I prefer. Thanks Ryan and Mimi for making my drink and experience a very pleasurable one. I will definitely be back and hope more people come to try your drinks! read more

First time I had Ding Tea was in California and I was amazed! But in Chicago and suburbs it's kinda hard to find a place that lives up to Cali standards. This location has a cute atmosphere with photo opps. Upon waking in I got a lovely whiff of waffles cooking in the background. Lots to choose from on the menu but I decided on a guava green tea with mixed fruit jelly. Needed something sweet, but light after having ramen. Service was kinda slow but it looked like the lady was there by herself taking orders and making them. She did her best and was patient. Not a bad spot for tea, but nothing really stood out to me. I'd come back if I was in the area, but not drive out of my way. read more

Ding Tea Rolling Meadows - Guava green tea and Thai tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

My wife and I came here during their opening weekend. I stayed in the car while my wife ordered because our daughter was napping so I didn't get to experience the ordering process, but went in after she woke up. The space inside is nice and clean. Seating is partially along the perimeter; more space is allowed for standing and ordering but this was probably just for the grand opening since they had a dance performance earlier. Wasn't too busy when I went inside but we went near the end of the day. I got a matcha latte with golden boba and my wife got the oolong milk tea. Before coming here we checked the initial reviews and review of a friend who arrived before we did, which unfortunately weren't too great so we kept our expectations low. However I personally enjoyed my matcha latte and the few sips of the oolong milk tea. I thought it had a strong enough tea taste and the boba quality was good. I asked some other friends who came here later what they thought and they also enjoyed it, so it seems to be a hit or miss at this point but I can only imagine things getting better as they work through their opening stage. One thing I will say though is that it's relatively expensive for what you get compared to other places. It was $1 to upgrade to a large and $1 for the boba, so after tax it was ~$9 for one drink. We'll probably come back to try another flavor of we're in the area, but I'll keep it simple and forgo the size upgrade and boba. read more

Place is very new so I hope they improve. Only had cold drinks available. That is fine since they just opened, but there are no signs about it. Planned to get a simple hot tea, but that was not an option. Me and my boyfriend are both on restricted diets and asked about sugar in the tea options. Asked about the Matcha tea and they said it had sugar. I got the winter melon tea and he got the oolong latte. Both taste like they have sugar. I'm still new to the low sugar diet for health reasons, but there was no info about what was in the teas. Just a heads up if you have dietary restrictions and need to avoid sugar. read more

We went here tonight for the grand opening. It wasn't overly busy and we didn't have to wait long at all. We placed our order at the counter. I figured I would mention this since so many places seem to have screens for ordering now. When our drinks were ready, they called out an order number, but we never received an order number. They looked like our drinks, so I inquired and we received them. I got the Hokkaido Oolong Milk Tea with the signature golden boba. I initially asked for the tiramisu top, which they didn't have yet, and then the cheese top, which they forgot :( (but still charged for). In any case, it was their first night, so no biggie. That said, my drink as configured (size Small) cost nearly $10, so that is pretty hefty! My husband got the taro slush, which he enjoyed. I likewise enjoyed my Oolong Milk Tea. It had that lightly tannic tea flavor that I wanted. It was sweet, but not cloying. The golden boba tasted like the tapioca I'm used to, but a softer iteration. The interior design is pleasant. The wings on the wall will be fun for photographs. They also advertised macarons and mochi ice cream. I had no idea! Maybe we'll try those another time - or maybe one of you can try it and let us know how it goes. :) read more

So after spending a week in Chicago, I was craving for COMFORT food. I was able to grab some EGG PUFFS w/ ice cream before heading back to the airport. This is a one woman team, as she quickly whipped out boba and egg puffs and served it with a smile. Anyways, I definitely recommend y'all stop by and grab a drink and snack while you're in the area! read more

I did some neighborhood exploring on Labor Day and came across Ding Tea, which happens to be in the same plaza as my favorite taco place and next to the ramen place I went to. The cafe is spacious and clean. There were two workers who were kind and helpful. I got a small passionfruit tea with crystal boba because they ran out of tapioca. It came out to be $7.66. It was tasty, as recommended, but pricey for what you get. But for me, convenience-wise and taste-wise, it's worth coming back for more! read more

Had no idea that this place existed until today! I was visiting my dad's house down the road and while there, my sister and I were talking about craving some boba tea so I googled and saw this place was 3 mins away (convenient!). We ordered 6 drinks (I didn't snap a pic of the last one as it was still being made) and for the quality of the drink itself and the boba, I think the price is fair. I don't quite necessarily agree with other reviews about the pricing - to me, I'd rather pay a dollar more for convenience and taste and this place has both (for us anyways). Service was great! It was just one employee in there that I saw at the time who made our drinks. She saw me snapping a pic against the angel wings wall and asked if I could tag them, which for me isn't a big deal because I do this naturally on social media. The brown sugar boba tea was delicious. My sister got the chocolate milk tea and hers was also very good. My husband tried the guava tea and he loved his, it came with a different type of fruit boba that I didn't quite catch the name for. We also got two mango slushees for my younger siblings and a strawberry yogurt drink which everyone enjoyed. Again- pricing wasn't a big deal when everyone liked their drinks and it's 3 mins away. The place is small but still spacious; if there was a line in there, people at tables wouldn't be bothered as the tables are set back on the walls. Would come again and next time I'd like to try one of their foams! read more

I decided to come here since it was one of the places that closes late. We were the only customers when we walked in. Employee was friendly and she greeted us. Just to clarify, it was only one person doing everything. It seemed like after we ordered, that's when people started coming in one after the other. Then there was a huge group that came in. The "slow service" I let it slide since she didn't know there was going to be an inundation of customers pouring in. You know those clown cars where 20 clowns come out, yeah it seemed like that. I got the lychee milk tea with golden boba and an egg waffle with ice cream. I ordered 50% sugar. The drink itself was decent, not too sweet which I like. I do wish the golden boba was a little less chewy. They also didn't have the tofu pudding that I wanted. Egg waffle was crispy, warm, and soft. The ice cream was Oreo. Other than that, they had an adequate amount of tables. That's assuming you don't have the clown cars with 20 kids coming out of it. Prices were fair. Place was clean when we first walked in, not sure about after we left. read more

I ordered the Monster Boba Latte (Basically a brown sugar milk tea). The flavor was on point. It was pretty sweet, so if you're not a fan of that, be warned. Everything but the boba was good. It was undercooked, making it a little too hard. If the boba is cooked properly then this boba would be perfect. Tl;dr: Great flavor, undercooked boba. read more

I am a bubble tea lover. Very excited to try this new place and I am not disappointed. We order taro green milk tea and mango yogurt drink with black boba, both were delicious. Black Boba was on smaller side but still chewy. Sugar level is on sweeter side. I chose 25% sugar level and it's kind like 50% to me. Tea flavor was not overpowered by sweetness though. They use real taro so you can taste small piece of taro in the drink. One of the best bubble tea place in Schaumburg and Rolling meadows area. (I've tried all bubble tea shops in these areas.) Will come back and try their golden boba. read more

decent tea spot... definitely heavy on the pricing! i got a thai tea with tiramisu foam and paid $8.21 while i thought it was good, the price definitely makes it hard to motivate me to drive out that way. there aren't too many bubble tea spots in the area and they do offer different different flavors than kung fu tea. cheese foam and tiramisu foam are an extra $1.25 hence the up charge. the other disappointment was they had posted on social media that they had vietnamese coffee with cheese foam and when i ordered that they didn't know what i was talking about . weird read more

I came here for their BOGO promotion. Even though I was only paying for one drink the total was $9 which is pretty steep for milk tea. They charge 99 cents per add in. I had the oolong milk tea and hubby had the matcha latte. The oolong milk tea had a decently strong tea flavor but it tasted like they didn't use real milk. I had one sip of hubby's matcha latte and it just wasn't for me. The matcha wasn't blended well and it tasted powdery. I also overheard a customer asking one of the employees what matcha was and she turned to one of her colleagues who was also stumped. Overall, it is a new establishment so there are some kinks they could figure out but I think they have potential if they would swap out their dairy base. read more

Tea is ok not great kinda average but the wait time is horrendous I waited 20 minutes for a simple tea. I could have hoped back there and make it way faster than the one person that was there.

Love the drinks from here! The smell inside is amazing, smells just like the waffles they offer which are super tasty!

Ding Tea Rolling Meadows - Strawberry slush and Hokkaido coffee - Bubble Tea Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

Heard a lot of good things from Ding Tea from people who lived in the West Coast. Not sure if because they are new? That they are up to standards are up with other Ding Tea Establishments. Upon walking in you get hit with a big wiff smell as if you were to walk into a PetSmart. Not sure if it was the dead flowers in the front of the door but wasn't a good start. I looked up the menu from my phone beforehand coming here and unfortunately it was for Ding Tea Balboa. The pricing of their drinks here in Rolling Meadows are really drastic. In California Milk Tea Menu comes up as 4.50 I paid about 9 Dollars each for 3 Milk Teas thats ridiculous and extra for the Boba? The drinks were all okay.. the Boba was cooked right and had lots of flavor. The price just doesn't justify coming here. Bobar or Kung Fu Tea is a better alternative read more

Since the explosion of different nearby newly opened places or existing ones now offerings bobba drink selections, our family has found Ding Tea our go to favored place to patronize. Couple of us are diabetic and we have found that having choice of honey as sweetener or having choice % of sweetener we downgrade in no way has it affected the outstandingness of their drinks. Highly recommended and hope to try ( on my cheat day ) their bubble waffle cone ice cream! read more

Ding tea is my favorite chain bubble tea, so I was very excited to hear that they were opening a location in Illinois and I had to go for opening weekend! This location was a bit disappointing, my bubble tea was not out of this world. It didn't taste like the one I tasted in Vegas or California. This could have been due to how busy opening weekend was, or that I ordered the signature milk tea that was part of their special BOGO. However, they are known for their honey boba, and the boba did not disappoint. It was soft and chewy and sweet! I will be giving this location another shot. read more

Was super excited to try the new bubble tea place in the area but it was disappointing. I ordered a signature milk tea and a Oolong milk tea with boba, the golden boba is so bland that taste like those precooked one from the Chinese grocery store. The milk tea is very watery that has no tea flavor, I can't tell the difference between the two that I ordered as both just taste like sugary milk. I was there for their grand opening special BOGO, ended up still paid $10.2 after tax with one free drink which is probably the priciest bubble tea that I ever seen. read more

Newly opened boba shop in the suburbs! I've had ding tea in other places so I wanted to see if they would be the same - we got the signature milk tea and oolong milk tea as part of their BOGO promotion. The tea flavor is very strong which is good and they use the non-dairy creamer / or milk powder for the creaminess. Pretty good overall - I would just suggest making their boba sweeter like soaked in brown sugar syrup read more

First time I came here with my boyfriend and son and we all both enjoyed it so I decided to come back yesterday to have a little me time with some scrumptious dessert. There's a lot of parking outside and it's also beside of more dessert shops. Anyway, the place is small so I don't recommend coming here on a weekend. I'm pretty sure the place is packed. You can order to a kiosk or to the register. I like ordering from the kiosk better especially if I'm undecided on things I wanted to get so I can take my time and order what I really wanted. Once placed they'll call it out for you to pick it up. We always get the waffle ice cream. It's just really good. Yesterday I got that and a mango slush with boba. Both were good! It was just me at the store so I get to really relax and watch my favorite show while eating my desserts. Both exterior and interior are clean. Service was good. The lady was very friendly. All in all I like this small cute place to relax and enjoy my sweets. read more
