Ding Tea is my favorite boba place in Tucson! Great rewards system too. They have different games like battleship and other card games. Never had a problem finding seating. Parked in the neighborhood if there wasn't parking in the front. I enjoy the Thai tea with boba from here. read more

I haven't been here in a while and I was in the area so I popped in. I was a little disappointed. I went to order the brown sugar milk tea, and they were out of that and a few other flavors. I ended up ordering a large Thai milk tea. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I wanted. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and helpful with the menu. They have a lot of light colored furniture, which probably wasn't a great choice with the in and out of customers. They have blankets on top of the sofa cushions that had visible stains and it just looks unclean and unkempt (I didn't sit on any of the furniture, I stood and waited on my drink in the corner.) They have a game area where you can sit and enjoy your drink. read more

Been going to Ding Tea in Tucson for years and they never disappoint! This charming boba shop is very conveniently located and has beautiful interior decoration. It has a modern, light cafe ambience and is a great traditional boba shop. There are lots of seats available for catching up with people or studying/work. They also have board games available! The staff are always very kind and helpful and the boba balls are always warm, soft, and chewy. My favorite order is their matcha slush (low sweetness) with boba but they also have a variety of Asian-inspired flavors such as ube, yakult, honeydew, etc. read more

Let me start by saying that the tea was delicious - I ordered the taro milk tea - and the service was excellent. I do wish my drink would have had more ice, though. And I was really looking forward to trying the golden boba, but those are now only offered on weekends. But overall, good experience! read more

Waste of money. Drinks are meh and I was charged for my order plus an order that wasn't mine. It was shown in my bank statement and they claimed the order wasn't in the system so they couldn't refund me. They gave me a gift card worth a few cents less what I was charged. They acted as if it was somehow my fault they charged me for an order that wasn't mine. I'm now short 20 dollars with a gift card to a place I don't even really like enough to want to go back to. read more

Went to Ding Tea on a Saturday night and trying to find parking was a struggle it was my first time and I didn't realize they had more parking in the back, but thankfully I got a spot out front! The shop is really cute with surprisingly a lot of seating with how small the space is. I ordered a Hokkaido Milk Tea with boba and it was pretty good! Only downside is that the boba was too soft and kind mushy. But flavor of the tea was good! read more

One of my favorite things to do when I travel is try new boba places- all boba places are different and never offer the same drinks, desserts, or fruit teas! I ordered a peach black tea with lychee & my friend ordered the Hokkaido black milk tea. Both were delicious- my fruit tea didn't have an overwhelming peach flavor like some drinks do & my friend's drink was sweet and savory with the tapioca pearls and regular sugar level. As always, this place has a cute seating area & nice atmospheric music. read more

The workers seem to not want to be there kind of energy. I go to this location because they usually make my drink great and you can build up points and what not. I just got one right now about 30 minutes til closing I ask for extra brown sugar pump and I literally get 0 pump not exaggerating not even the regular amount the give you. I'm so upset mind you I got 3 of them im pregnant asf I wanted something sweet I spent 20$ for nothing. read more

Love this place so much!! But for some reason, I had a different experience tonight! I ordered my occasional strawberry milk tea. Usually get it just the same. With less ice 25% and 75% sweetness. For some reason it was full 100% sweet (taste) and full ice (I'm not usually a big cold drink consumer) I wasn't able to assess the drink before I got it this time and had it delivered instead. Unfortunately it's too late to fix it by now, but I hope the crew will understand that drinks should come out consistently, and adjust the levels of sweetness accordingly; I'm sad my drink did not come out as I anticipated! (Last few times were quite the same!). I would love to try ordering again in person so that if there's any adjustments needed to be made, I would be able to communicate it. read more

Pretty good boba place! I ordered a mango green fruit tea with traditional boba, 50% sweet. It was still a good sweetness for being 50%. The boba itself was decent! I think for the price, this is a pretty good place! There's space to study inside which is nice too! Service was really quick! read more

Love Ding Tea Brown Sugar Milk Tea is my favorite It's always delicious a must try. They have one on the north side too

Ordered a larger order (45 servings) for a UofA club campus event. Came in the evening before to place the order for pickup the next eventing, approx 24 hours later, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Was BLOWN away by service. The staff were extremely helpful, prompt, and friendly. They were patient in taking down the details and diligent in carrying out the order. The next day all 45 (plus 4 extras) were ready to go at the exact time I requested in a large carrying tote filled with ice to keep the drinks cold. Drinks were a HUGE hit at our club event. Diligent service, amicable employees, high quality product. What more could you ask for? read more

The fruit teas are good! I have not tried the milk based teas. My go to is the wintermelon green tea with golden boba. It's hard to find this flavor of fruit tea at other places in town. The space is cute but small and without a restroom so we've only done take out. Definitely recommend trying it out ! read more

Always a great boba option!! I've ordered tons of green teas (passion fruit, strawberry, mango) which have all been refreshing! Everything is pretty customizable such as sweetness and ice levels and there are various toppings available like pearl boba or fruit poppers. Recently tried the taro milk tea which became my favorite as it's super rich and creamy! The service is quick and the tables are clean. They have some card game options which are fun. read more

This spot is beautiful. The inside is modern, clean, and would be a great place to meetup with a friend or wrap up a little work. I wasn't sure what to order so I looked to Yelp for recommendations. The kumquat lemon iced tea at 0% sweetness was still perfectly sweet and tart. I'm so glad I didn't add any sweetness. My husband and 4 year old couldn't stop drinking it; they loved it too. My only regret was that I put in the golden boba because I wanted more tea! Don't get me wrong, the golden boba was perfectly cooked, sweet, and chewy. But the tea was the real star. I will definitely be back for more tea concoctions even though it was a little on the pricey side. read more

I ordered four drinks, but unfortunately two were made incorrectly. The service also came across with some attitude and wasn't very friendly, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the shop has a very cute ambience with a nice atmosphere that makes it an enjoyable place to sit and spend time. However, it's frustrating that the phone number listed doesn't work--I wasn't able to call about getting my drinks remade or receiving a refund. For reference, none of the numbers for their three Tucson locations seem to be in service. read more

Always difficult to write a review on a place based off of one drink! I ordered the mashed taro burnt cream milk, tea, basically a jasmine green tea drink with milk and mashed taro, topped with a blow torched cream foam. Overall really tasty, but I don't get much taro flavor except with the actual taro bits. It's very creamy and tastes more like dessert than a milk tea. The menu at Ding tea is very extensive, though, and I would be willing to try other drinks. read more

I'm not a boba fan but a small human that I'm close too is. And she gives this place 2 thumbs up. She did a black milk tea with golden boba and half sweet. She said it was delish. And better than the black boba she gets at another spot. So I'm gonna say this is a win! read more

SO AESTHETIC! I loved the ambiance inside here. Lots of cute decor and lighting, so Instagram worthy. They have a large menu and lots of options, so be sure to be prepared to order! The 16oz size is a great amount for me. I love that they have coffee jelly here, as not every boba place does. They put A LOT of jelly in my drink, I had a lot extra at the end. I really enjoyed my hazelnut milk tea, it wasn't too sweet. I'll be back! read more

So far in Tucson, this is the best boba I have tried. I've visited about 5 times and have tried their signature Monster Boba Latte, Taro Mash (limited time unfortunately), Peach Yakult, and Kumquat-Lemon Ice Tea. Each drink has been exceptional and I would recommend everyone to visit this place for a refreshing drink. The black and golden boba are so chewy and delicious every single time. If you're not into boba they have plenty other of toppings such as star jelly, egg pudding, cheese cream, and this list goes on and on. They also give you the freedom to customize your sugar level which I think is nice. They only have two sizes the regular and large, and the regular cup is so cute and great for an aesthetic photo op. Parking is limited in the front and they have additional parking in the rear. This place has been very busy each time and they will still have your order out in a timely manner. The staff is very nice and will give delicious recommendations if you're having trouble deciding off of their vast menu. The have a giant television playing kpop videos that match the ambiance of the cute interior where you can hang out and play card games that they provide on a bookshelf by the door. Along with playing games it's also a great place for students to study as I've seen multiple people on their laptops and due to it's close location to the UA campus. read more

Always excited to see new boba spots open in town. Went with my family and met up with some friends there. Overall we had a great time. My daughter loved the decor and my son drooled over all the drink options. The staff was friendly and helpful. They really have a good system down for getting the drinks done relatively quickly. It was decently busy so we probably waited 10 mins in line and another 10 mins for our drinks. Our group got two house milk teas, two fruit slush, Thai tea and taro tea. All the drinks were solid and I appreciate the variety of toppings and ability to customize sweetness and ice. Something that I struggled with was the strong smell of industrial cleaner when I first walked in. Not sure if it's like that all the time or if my nose was just being sensitive. As one of the better boba shops in town we'll definitely come back and try more at Ding's. read more

*PHOTO OP* central. This place is so freaking cute! Be sure to dress cute in case you want to take pictures! I fell in love the moment I walked in. It's beautifully decorated but, let's also talk about the tea! I ordered a strawberry milk tea with golden boba - delish! Also got a Lychee Oolong tea with star fruit jelly and let me tell you, that is my new favorite order. The perfect amount of sweetness but also very refreshing! This place is super easy to find since it's next to Reed's compounding pharmacy. The staff is super friendly and have great drink recommendations! read more

I like going here, but the prices are honestly kind of high for drinks that are consistently mostly ice. I also mostly enjoy the decor, but I'm really not a fan of the weird covers that they have on top of their couches. read more

Friendly staff and quick service! This place has your usual boba drinks, coffee, and more. I have been to a California location that served food, and would love to see them bring food choices to our Tucson location in the future. We ordered Vietnamese coffee, mango slush and the Chocolate slush. The Chocolate slush was a hit with the kids. Cheers! read more

Disappointed sadly. It seems like everytime I go there's a "new" aesthetic about the place? The tv that usually shows drinks wasn't there and so we asked if they had this type of drink that me and my mom usually get when she's in town. The guy said yes but what we got was definitely not what we have gotten before and it was actually the monster brûlée latte that we were trying to order. it was wierd bc the guys asked us what type of tea we wanted and that it doesn't come with boba? I'm confused on why he didn't help guide us to the correct drink when I mentioned we have never had to pick a tea to go in it and the boba came with it? My mom ended up getting the drink he told us we were talking about. It ended up being a Thai Brûlée with only condense milk and maybe caramel? Idk I don't think I'll be back. It's like a downhill of service and vibes everytime I go. read more

This place is amazing! Decor is by far the most inviting tea place I've been to in Tucson. The staff is amazing the service they provide was beyond and have such great descriptions of tea flavor I was highly impressed. Overall it's such an amazing place and boba is so soft and fresh. Wish they had northwest location but it's definitely worth the drive! I will definitely make this my new go to spot! read more

I appreciate the owner response. The problem was the employees kept lying saying the beans were temporarily out and being ordered. I flat out asked if it was discontinued but they insisted no. I kept coming back several times hoping they were in. After couple months, I knew this was a lie. The owner did messaged me and was sincere to explain and offered to bring back the beans topping. I very much appreciate the effort and consideration and hope to visit again soon. read more

I really do enjoy ding tea. They have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and I will say this is the best boba in town

I had a Monster Boba Latte ($6.25) here yesterday. It was delicious. The place is small and was crowded, but we managed to find a place to sit. They serve no food, just drinks. Not really a place to linger long, but good for a quick cold drink to take the edge off the summer heat. read more

Boba tea lovers, Ding tea is another gem. There is no shortage of boba shops in Tucson, but if you have visited some of them you know that the quality can vary greatly. Ding tea sits in the top tier. They probably have the most expansive menu out of any of the tea shops in town. With unique flavors like blueberry milk tea, or green apple milk tea (spoiler alert- both flavors are amazing) and fresh cooked boba that is soft and chewy. Mother service is fantastic and friendly and always willing to make suggestions if you feel overwhelmed by the many choices. Two things keep them from a 5 star review. First, it is always insanely busy here. It is near the college campus so between being used as a study hall, and meeting place for friends finding a seat can be a challenge if you aren't planning on take out. Second, the parking is atrocious. Not only is the parking lot tiny, it is so tight that is is hard to set in and out of. Park down a side street and walk a half block. TL:DR - huge menu, great service, bad parking worth trying for pick up. read more

The boba wave is going strong in Tucson; Ding's is another excellent addition to the boba scene. Ding's has your classic boba tea flavors and many other unique offerings to distinguish itself from other boba tea shops. I've been here several times, and the texture of the boba has been consistently chewy and fresh. One great option here is the ability to customize your ice and sweetness level. My favorite combo so far is the taro milk tea with golden boba adjusted with 30% ice and 50% sweetness. Overall, Ding's has a great location, cute interior, reasonable prices, and efficient service. The boba tea is fantastic, and I look forward to trying more of Ding's tea! read more

Definitely my favorite boba place in town! Their milk teas are a lot more flavorful in comparison to other shops in town. I do feel like drinks and service are always consistent. Their golden boba is great as well! I go pretty often and staff is always friendly, quick, and personable. I do hope they eventually add the crème brûlée topping to this location's online ordering for convenience. Other than that it's a definite must-try! read more

Was so thrilled to see this new tea shop open up in town. Right away you get the sense that they care a lot about the product, they are professional, and prompt in service. I ordered the Jasmine milk tea with the golden boba and sea cream foam. It was legit. Pearls were soft and sweet, the tea had a nice blend of death and lightness, and the seafoam cream added a wonderful salty quality to the drink. Ding Tea is definitely on par with some of the better Boba shops in town; I will be back! read more

Can not say enough good things about this place. I wish I could say that I have tried more of their teas but their Kumquat Lemon iced tea is so good I get it almost every time I go. This time we decided to try a peach tea with aloe and monster boba both were very good. I still think the Kumquat lemon iced tea with aloe is my favorite but everything I have tried has been good. A nice option that Dings offers is being able to say how sweet you would like your drink. I recommend 50% sugar on the Kumquat lemon iced tea! The staff is also very kind and always provides great recommendations. read more
