I came by on a weekday night and wanted to try them out since I saw they were new! They recently rebranded and have lots of new drinks on their menu as well. Cashier was super helpful and answered any questions I had. I got the Mango Sunrise which is essentially a Mango Pomelo Sago Drink. It was delicious at regular sugar and I would get it again! I do want to come back and try their matchas. read more

I enjoyed a very good brown sugar milk tea 30% sweet. When I first tasted the tea, it was still too sweet for my taste. The only young lady working was very nice she took it removed some of the liquid, and replaced it was plain black tea. That certainly did the trick because it was just right after that. The tea house offers plenty of inside seating and several Kiddleton toy machines. They offer a variety of teas, coffees, and matchas. They also offer Pandan Waffles with ice cream. read more

I was craving a dessert after dinner so we swung by Camie Tea to try their signature Pandan waffles. Service was a bit strange, there were two workers, no one said anything when I walked up to the counter and so I ordered on the kiosk myself. Usually I prefer to order directly with a cashier or at least have a quick conversation about the kiosk. I ordered the signature combo waffle (pandan waffle, Nutella, vanilla ice cream, pocky) and it came out decently quick. It was solid, not bad, but a bit underwhelming for the price. It felt very casual like something I could have made myself at home. Perhaps I should try their drinks next time. There is a lot of space inside and some games and a pool table. read more

Camie Tea - Mango sticky rice - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

The service was pretty quick. We tried the Signature Combo ($8.50) which had a pandan waffle, Nutella, vanilla ice cream, Pocky, whipped cream, and chocolate drizzle. It sounded good, but overall it ended up being a bit too sweet for our taste. After a few bites, everything kind of blended together and didn't really stand out flavor-wise. For the price, it felt a little underwhelming. It's not bad, just not something I'd go out of my way to get again. Maybe their drinks are better since they had a more extensive drink menu. The space itself is spacious, and they even have gacha machines. The vibe definitely leans toward a younger crowd, so I can see it becoming a popular hangout spot. Overall, an okay experience, but if I return I'd probably try something different. read more

The owners of the former Ding Tea in this Clairemont suite have separated themselves from the large chain brand and gone independent with the launch of Camie Tea. The most noticeable change to the interior was the addition of a foosball table not far in front of the service counter. Maybe this amenity was present before, but it had been a while since I visited this location. Between the multiple tables and sofa, the seating capacity was around 40. Two menu screens hung near the counter. One of them showed the pandan waffles, either building your own or as a combo. The other one featured the drinks that were divided into six categories. The most popular selections were shown in the bottom right corner. Neither the prices nor the descriptions were listed which I thought were oversights. Without the latter, it was hard to choose because the contents were not available, just a name. This was especially true for the Specialty category of which there were 13 varieties. I ended up picking the Mango Sunrise that turned out to be more of a slushie than a fruity boba tea. The online ordering page stated the ingredients were pomelo, coconut jelly, mango puree, and mango slush. If this information was provided on a webpage, then why not also include it on the flat screens? The mixture was not particularly sweet which was fine. I didn't request any boba pearls because of the coconut jelly. I think with some improvements I can upgrade my rating of Camie Tea to a level higher than three stars. read more

Camie is a newer shop in the balboa plaza, seems to be related or similar to Ding Tea. They have a small shop with a few seats and some Japanese claw machines, but mainly geared toward take out. The tea/boba was decent, nothing spectacular but not bad either. One issue was the drink was absolutely loaded with ice, and the ice they use is a smaller size so it gets sucked up in the straw. Would advise on less ice if you end up going. Service was friendly, prices were average, would not go out of the way to visit but if in the area it's a solid choice! read more

Formerly a Ding Tea, this boba shop has rebranded and added its own recipes to the menu. Braved the 1.5 hour line for free drinks on opening day to check out the hype, and we were rewarded with an excellent Matcha Latte with Boba and Matcha Strawberry with Mochi. Thankfully the drinks came out fairly quickly after ordering. The interior space is pretty roomy. Despite the crowd on this particularly busy day, there was still plenty of seating available as most people took their cups to go. read more

Former Ding Tea that's been rebranded. The menu seem to have some of the same classics and favorites. And they even kept the bubble waffles. I only go here for the sour sop tea, when I'm craving one, and I was very happy to see that they kept that on their menu. The interior looks like it had a spring cleaning with a fresh coat of paint, game tables, furniture, and layout. Service was fast, came in after lunch, so was not busy at all. read more

This is a Rebranding of a Ding Tea franchisee. We went on Saturday when they had the BOGO and there was a line to the door around opening. The first few dozen or so orders were gifted a milk tea plushie. Servers were friendly and did well considering how busy they were. The decor was minimal with a few crane machines and a giant connect four. There are a few tables seating areas to hang out. Great grand opening. Good flavored milk tea and slushie drinks. Would recommend. read more

I really wanted to like this place, and it might just come down to ordering choices, but this visit didn't quite hit for me. I tried the Matcha Einspaner, and while it was thick, it leaned more like a dessert drink (ice cream-like) so I couldn't really taste much of the matcha itself. My hubby ordered the Mango Sunrise, which had a nice fruity base but was a bit too sweet for our preferences. For context, we used to come here often back when it was Ding Tea, and it had more of a laid-back, college hangout vibe. The space has since changed quite a bit .... there's now a row of crane games along one wall, which gives it a different energy than before. Service was fine, and the drinks came out quickly. Overall, it may still be a good spot depending on what you order and the kind of vibe you're looking for, but for us it didn't quite match what we were hoping for this time around. read more

Ding Tea is now Camie Tea! The owners dropped the Ding tea franchise and have gone independent. Certainly not an easy feat as now they have to come up with their own recipes. I attended their soft opening today and all drinks were free, let's see if it was any good. The interior is basically the same spacious one as before with ample seating and the same furniture and games but different decor on the walls. The menu has changed - some items are the same and many seem new. Of note is a huge new selection of matcha drinks (9 in all), my personal favorite! The bubble waffles are also gone. I tried a matcha latte of course. It was good! Rich, dark green color, strong earthy Matcha flavor, and a nice bitterness to contrast the sweetness of the drink and the Boba that I added. The Boba was also cooked perfectly. We also tried a strawberry Matcha with mochi and the mochi was delicious. It tasted fresh and homemade and had a consistency that was more dense than a jelly. Camie Tea looks like a winner! read more

Meh, the drinks tasted like the last shop. The decor and set up looked similar to the last shop as well. It was okay at best. Nice workers though. Took about 10 minutes to get our drinks after ordering. Matcha drinks were okay. I'd give matcha Oreo tornado a 3/5 and matcha einspanner 3.5/5. read more

Rebranded Ding Tea! They have plenty of large and small table seating, some couch seating, and some claw games and foosball scattered throughout the store. They were giving away free drinks on their soft opening day! Their menu is extensive but definitely warrants a bit more explanation on their drinks that aren't named in a self explanatory manner. The baristas can answer any questions though about the drinks. They have a good variety of toppings, and their panacotta topping that's pictured in the various molds is the cutest thing! The service was pretty fast after you actually ordered. I got a matcha strawberry, and I could see that they were individually whisking matcha back there instead of from a big batch. Would come back again when I'm in the area! read more

Taking over the Ding Tea spot in Clairemont Mesa, my friend and I attempted to visit them during their grand opening but didn't quite make it due to the line for free boba stretched around the building. This time though there was no wait and plenty of parking in the lot where they are located as well. I ordered the Mango Sunrise which contained mango jam, pomelo and sago with bits of coconut in it on a base of green tea. Overall it was quite tasty but Hey Tea, MYM tea and 3Cat still get my vote for best mango based drinks in San Diego. read more

My kids love to come here for their boba drinks when we are in the area. This place is clean and staff is friendly. There is wifi here and some board games. This is a good place to chat and hang out with your friends and family. Today, we tried their new drink, mango sticky rice. if you like mangos, this is a delicious drink for you to try it out. It taste sweet (not overpowering, has a good combination of slushy and mango with panda jelly. Will try the sticky rice match latte next time. read more

Loved the strawberry matcha! Both of the flavors don't overpower each other and they don't add additional sugar to the strawberry puree / jam. Also loved the Matcha Pistachio Cloud! It's so balanced and the Pistachio foam doesn't overpower the matcha. I got regular sweetness on it and it's perfect that it's not too sweet. Matcha quality is good too since I'm not getting a weird aftertaste like some matcha / coffee places have. Service was nice too, thank to the girl with the mask on register and the guy with curly hair for making the drinks. I like the dark interior as someone who can be sensitive to bright white lights. read more

Quite pricey compared to other boba places. I was surprised when I saw my total was almost $30 for 3 drinks. I usually pay less than $20 for 3 drinks at our favorite boba spot. My milk tea was sugary and could barely taste the tea. My daughter's lychee slush was watered down and tasted more like ice than anything. The employee making drinks was bad mouthing another employee asking if the "nepo baby was working" and said they were "so bad." Super unprofessional and honestly made me uncomfortable. Needless to say, we will not be returning and we actually liked it when it was ding tea. read more

Nice place to study! Great drinks and sugar customization available on almost every drink including blended drinks. I can tell by the color and taste that they use high quality, maybe ceremonial grade matcha powder as well. I recommend the matcha mochi drink. read more
