Great boba. Nice and clean. Very nice staff. Recommend. Prices are good. Boba is life.

I order here if I'm looking to have something that's dessert-like to satisfy sweet tooth cravings. From time to time I'll branch out and try something new but usually rotating between 4 drinks. The menu is large and a bit overwhelming. Whatever the order, the flavor is consistently good. I'm happy that they have a frequent buyer program (Clover app) - Free drink when you buy 10. It's takes awhile but it's nice to get that freebie. Sometimes, they're lightly staffed so it can take a while to place or get your order if ordering in person. read more

I've been very happy with this location. Customer service is always good, and they have a good amount of visual menus to help you decide on what you want. And my points apply versus "the other location" that I did not do a not so nice review of. Love the idea that they have happy hour Monday through Thursday from 3 to 5 PM. Buy two get one free Thai tea, and next time I need to remember to bring my student IDs for my kid and teacher IDs to get that 10% off. Every penny counts read more

I can't belive I've gone my whole life without trying boba, this was my first experience trying boba tea. It was not only amazing, but life changing..... Ding Tea you are incredible. Also thanks for not scamming me. Overall a great experience. :) read more

My favorite spot for a Taro Boba fix! I love how fresh their boba tastes, and the taro flavor is spot on. The service is always great, and I like how they have cute vending game machines for kids in the shop. This location is in a plaza near Target, Kokage Ramen, and Sushi, with a huge parking lot. read more

Great service and even better drinks! Inside is small and no seats. But there are outdoor seats. Minimal shade. Coffee lovers - the base is Vietnamese coffee so it's strong and delicious! Milk tea lovers - legit. Smooth, you can actually taste the tea! Boba lovers - the boba is soft, light brown, chewy and not sweet. I loved it. I got half set on both my drinks and it was excellent! read more

Amazing service, friendly atmosphere, and super good tea. Staff were super helpful and patient and I left with a smile on my face

So, let me start by saying that this review is for an isolated incident that they have yet to respond back to. I do love the milk teas here, so I was really bummed by the customer service, (or lack there of). I ordered from here a couple of times. I've gotten the vanilla latte, the strawberry milk tea and the mango fruit tea, all with boba. All are great drinks that are delicious, but I ordered on Door Dash this past Saturday and when it arrived, there was a drink that exploded in the delivery drivers car. I called and they didn't pick up, so I had to leave a message. It's been a few days and nothing back from them. Would have been nice to get some sort of response. I won't be back because of this. No response is just unacceptable. I'm sure if you go in person, it might be okay. (As long as the top is put on properly and it doesn't EXPLODE on you.) lol. Just unfortunate. read more

Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love this place! Must go in person! They employees are super kind!

First off, I have to state that I need to come back here and try again. The two drinks I ordered were my typical orders I would get from other tea spots and it's a bit unfair to judge a new place for what I would normally expect from shops I frequent. Still... I ordered the Honey Lemon Green Tea. I was expecting something predominantly sweet, with notes of sour underneath, and a bitter aftertaste from the lingering tea leaves. What I got was, for lack of a better phrase, overwhelmingly floral; kind of like eating a freshly plucked jasmine flower whole. It was exceedingly bitter, preceded by the taste of the green tea, but lacking in any real sugar or acid to help give it any palatable flavor. Try as I did, I couldn't make it through half of my drink and ended up throwing the rest of it away. My son opted for the Brown Sugar Milk Tea, his favored selection when getting boba. And while he did drink it all, he complained that it wasn't like he was used to. His tea was grainy, sugar loose and unmelted in his cup. This was from the sugar not being well mixed or from the tea not being hot and freshly brewed when the sugar was added. Either way, it made for a subpar drink in his eyes. While HappyLemon is closer to both home and our preferences, Ding Tea is in the same plaza where my wife works and comes highly reviewed. So, I do plan on coming back to try again. Until then, I have to be satisfied with my disappointment and try to make excuses as to why my experience didn't match up with my expectations. read more

We have been here a few times for boba! The tea is always the same but the facility usually has issues (this time there were puddles from a roof leak, previously there was a roach in the store)... read more

Love ding tea! Great service! Clean atmosphere! Take my family here often. We like the lumpia and classic milk tea.

The boba is very good. We come here everytime we go down to San Diego and it doesn't let us down.

Very good boba tea. We come here every time we travel down to San Diego. Good prices too.

I absolutely love this location! I've been a fan of Ding Tea since I first tried it in Anaheim. When it opened in San Marcos over COVID, I was there often... and now there's a Vista location?! I'm from North County SD so always on the way home from work, I make a stop here for boba when I'm craving it. The ambiance is always nice, quiet, and clean inside. The workers are always super friendly :) they greet you and always welcome you. They serve the boba fast and the boba is always fresh & delicious here. I never wait longer than 5 minutes for it. Love that they have little trinkets to look at while you're waiting too! My favorite here is the Taro Milk Tea with egg pudding, Oreo, & boba or my new favorite that I just tried today: the Matcha Heaven with Oreo, cheese cream, & boba. I always try everything though. read more

I got the Oreo Cheezo or whatever it's called and it was genuinely the most heavenly drink I've ever tasted. I didn't like boba until I started going here lololol the baristas here are extremely good at what they do. The Monster Coffee is also rlly good: If ur in the vista area this place is a must read more

Just stopped in the area for a drink- the reviews did not disappoint! We ordered a Matcha Heaven and a Brown Sugar. So, so good!! Service was outstanding and the shop was clean and very cute! read more

Ding Tea Vista - MATCHA HEAVEN BROWN SUGAR MILK TEA - Bubble Tea Near Me - Vista, California

I'm so happy they've opened a Ding Tea in Vista as it is one of my favorite places to get boba! I know they've opened a little over a year ago as I got their one year anniversary free boba plushie as a gift when I came here the first time. And they've got so many choices of drinks and it's pretty empty whenever I go. Parking is pretty easy too and there is a ramen and sushi restaurant and dumpling restaurant next to it so it's a great spot to get boba! People are really nice here and are patient with taking our order and asking your sugar level and ice level. The place is really bright and everyone is pretty cheerful here. Our drinks come out pretty fast too so it's not really a long wait. You can also drink here if you prefer to drink inside than take it with you. So if you're in Irvine and want some good boba, come visit here! read more

These guys have awesome bobs and super cute gifts. My coworker comes here all the time today I'm getting her a $25 gift card!

Finally a great tea spot in Vista! Ding Tea Vista is conveniently located off of Highway 78 in the Target shopping center, near Rubio's. Also, Walmart and so many other stores are nearby. The service is always excellent. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating. Indoor is loud, the blenders and music playing. The inside is always spotless and there is a really cute photo op/opp (photograph opportunity), if you are into photos. You'll know when you walk-in, greenery for a background and a bright neon light. I like to try a new flavor/drink when I visit. They sell milk tea, fruit tea, slushes, fresh tea, hot drinks, and so much more. There are options for all. Some of the drinks I have enjoyed include the following: Milk tea: Honeydew, Thai tea, Wintermelon, and Matcha Fruit tea: Hawaiian fruit and Passionfruit Slush: Taro snow, Hawaiian, and Mango The list/variety of drinks is extensive and there is even a "secret menu" to order from. They have a top 20 list too, so it helps you make choice, if you are indecisive or overwhelmed, it happens. The top 20 list has some of my favorites. The boba is chewy and tasty. They have tons of topping options to add to your drink as well. Toppings like crystal boba, Oreo, aloe vera, etc. are a great add-in. They also sell macaron ice cream sandwiches, the traditional flavors. Giftcards are available for purchase and cute merchandise, like a tea holder (useful if you order multiple drinks), keychains, and a small boba plush selection (on the wall). This location can get busy, so order before hand to save time. Also, use your phone number for rewards! read more

Sadly I am not a fan anymore. They don't have regular black boba, instead they only make their golden boba, which is sweeter and 10 cent more. They tell you it's the same thing but really it's not. Very disappointed that I like their milk tea but can't get black regular boba. Also last time I came in, I got a passion fruit tea and it tasted super sweet, even when I asked for 50% sugar. And had a weird taste to it. Can't get my black boba fix here, need to go to Happy Lemon or Tea Amo, where they do have regular black boba and don't force you to get another type of boba. read more

Turning away customers, when closing time is 9pm and customers are inside as well. They turned away 3 people

Stopped in after reading an earlier review on their Vietnamese coffee and had to see what it was all about.. Walked into a very CLEAN and decorated establishment. Was greeted by staff who were clearly frustrated with their downed payment processing system BUT they kept their cool and were still friendly while dealing with customers. NGL- the Vietnamese coffee (find it as Condensed Milk Coffee on their menu) did not disappoint! Will definitely be back. read more

Welcoming space! Very nice customer service regardless of who's working that day. The drinks are always delicious.

My kids and I have sampled boba at many different venues. Ding tea is up there with the best. It has consistently well made boba with great customization. You can select the sugar and ice levels. There are several different topping options such as pudding. The service is solid and the ambiance is fun. Highly recommend. read more

North County doesn't have too many Boba Spots, yet, and with what they do have, selections are limited. In San Jose, it seems like we have 10 times the Boba Spots, so I felt it'd be unfair to compare. That being said, I had the Brown Sugar Milk Tea and it was good. It'd be nice if they allow for 30% sugar, so I could taste more of the tea, something I'm sure Boba spots in the area will improve on in years to come. My normal go to, Earl Grey Milk Tea, was seemingly non-existent in all of North County. I couldn't even find popcorn chicken in the area because most Boba spots don't sell it or ran out early. My advice to the owner, by all means this is just to stand out with the local competition, is to take a trip to the San Francisco Bay Area. Namely San Jose and San Francisco, and check out the hottest Boba spots there, see what insight and ideas you can glean from them and I promise you, you'll far exceed everyone else in the area. Simply adding quality popcorn chicken to your menu will be thee best pairing with milk tea and will draw customers like crazy. read more

Cute boba tea spot between Joyee Dumpling House and Rubio's. This was my first time at this location but I've been to other Ding Tea spots around San Diego. None of those places compare to this one. First of all, loving the cheesy ube slush!!! They do not offer that flavor at other Ding Tea locations that I've been to. Secondly, the vibes in this place is so cute!! Definitely makes me feel tea-riffic to come here. The guy who rang up our order was nice and friendly (edit: his name was Jesse). And service was impeccable. Both drinks were done to perfection. I don't live close by but I'll definitely be coming back in the near future for that lush ube slush!! read more
