    Cute little place and it has a foosball table! Stopped in early on New Year's Eve and stumbled upon a buy one get one special! Service was quick & the Japanese Roasted Milk Tea was delicious, definitely recommend.

    Pearl Milk Tea

    The pearl milk tea here is solid, but a little expensive. There are a lot of tables here with games to play if you're looking for a place to hang out.

    This place is amazing! The Workers here are so nice and their new snack is tasty. Definitely hits hard in the afternoon. Also theres a lot of activities here like board games and foolsball.

    Mango Frappe (Yogurt) - using fresh mango.

    The staff was friendly and inviting. We had the passion fruit green tea with boba and mango frappe (they used fresh mangos). They also use fresh passion fruit whereas most just use concentrate. Highly recommended you give this shop a try.

    Honey Golden Pearl Green Milk Tea

    Several of us stopped by for boba after a full meal of dim sum this past Saturday afternoon. I've never had Daboba before but generally heard good things from friends since it's a chain. I got their HONEY GOLDEN PEARL GREEN MILK TEA (0% ice, 25% sugar) since it was one of their signature drinks and top sellers. I thought it was just OK. The tea flavor was underwhelmingly weak and I wasn't a fan. The tapioca was fine, but nothing out of the ordinary. However, one of my friends got their JAPANESE ROASTED MILK TEA which was really good. The tea was strong and I think the roasted option is the way to go. If I ever come back, I'm getting this one for sure. My drink was a 3/5 but my friend's was a 5/5. There's also a good amount of seating here and we enjoyed playing Connect 4 while drinking our boba. Daboba is worth a try (please get the Japanese roasted milk tea though).

    My brown sugar taro milk tea.

    After reading so many positive reviews, I decided to give Daboba a try. I was really looking forward to getting my bubble tea in those cute little bear cups. Spoiler alert, no more little bear cups. : ( I traditionally order a taro milk tea with boba and I asked if they had that on the menu. They told me that three of their teas had taro, so I ordered the brown sugar taro tea. Now, usually you can taste taro throughout the tea. But, in this case, it was a strong brown sugar taste. It also had little pieces of an ingredient throughout the tea. I think that this was a powdered taro. I now know that I prefer having the taro taste throughout the tea. The place was cute and had some games for the little ones to play with. My tea was good, but definitely different from what I expected. Service was pleasant and quick. I just want customers to know that this is a little different, than your traditional bubble tea. It is also a little pricey. I would definitely go back again, but I would try another flavor of tea.

    I really liked my drink! I ordered the honey golden pearl milk tea, and it was really well balanced with tea, milk, and sugar (50% sugar). Usually, I get 30% sugar at milk tea spots, but that wasn't an option here. It surprisingly made the drink taste creamy! The boba was also perfectly chewy and bouncy. Whenever I'm in town, I'll come back and try their other drinks.

    I was pretty amazed with this. I got the cheese roasted oolong and it was the perfect amount of creaminess and tea ness. The staff was really friendly and there were a lot of seats and games to play.

    Great service, waiter answered all my questions about all the different flavors they had. Let me sample a big boba ball (made of grass jelly). They were super transparent about the drinks so I feel like I made good choice when ordering:) Cute interior, board games that you can play with friends! I got the honey pearl green tea milk tea with less sugar and ice. A bit milky and less strong tea flavor but it's ok still yummy. (maybe cuz i had less sugar). My friend's matcha brown sugar drink was super tasty though. I also really liked the wintermelon fruit tea. Super fragrant and delish.

    Checked out Daboba with my kid today. She was excited about the cheese foam drinks and got the cheese foam seasons tea with boba. I got the seasons tea with grass jelly with 50% sugar. Both drinks were good. Mine wasn't very sweet though so I think the 50% sugar might have been mistaken for 0%, but I think that was the boba universe telling me I didn't need sugar today! Still, really good. Strong tea flavor! Kid really liked her drink. Said the cheese foam was tasty and that the boba was really good. Plenty of parking at the Talbot Shopping Center on the Pike. The shop has plenty of seating and well lit! There are games available! Plus there's wifi if you want to work while you drink your tea! Staff was friendly! Will be back to try more!

    Classic milk tea
    Shirley D.

    DABOBA is legit! Their classic pearl milk tea taste is the perfect balance. Their boba has a good, chewy, texture and flavor. I also tried their new big pearl series and while I was expecting a giant boba pearl, it was actually soft grass jelly. (Note: I asked for the skewer to showcase the pearl, otherwise it is just in your drink) The wait time for the drink can be improved.

    Staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was made fresh. Whether you're craving something rich or fruity, Daboba's menu has it all -- and it looks great on your IG story too Highly recommend for anyone in the DMV area looking for their next boba fix.

    Flavor: oof, bummed there was no tea or milk flavor, and boba texture/flavor was just ok. Ordered brown sugar milk tea with boba. Basically was just brown sugar water. (I've had many many milk teas, including in Taiwan, so was bummed that "big" boba was neither big nor flavorful) Presentation: looks cool... that was a selling point, but need to have flavor Service: quick turnaround and just ok Seating: great to hangout with games and some seating Friendly: ok Drinks: many options Cost: little expensive for no flavor Parking: plenty out front, free. Vegan / Vegetarian: not so much, it's drinks 3 stars b/c it's got some things going for it, just not my deal.

    The jasmine has a very clean floral simple taste. The amber milk tea has a thicker sweet taste…read more Both are good. Boba is a great texture. I enjoyed this tea. The place is clean and smells great from the waffles I think. Not too many milk tea options but the boba and drinks are good so I'll let it slide. The boba lowkey took a while to prepare on the day we came tho. I'm not upset since we weren't in a rush but I was a little surprised. I'm not upset tho and it's my first time here so I can't say that always happens. My friends and I are convinced they used ai for the mural tho lol

    Overall: Cuppa Tea was a hit for me in both boba and egg waffle, definitely give both a try!…read more Food: The drinks here were great, a clear and clean tea taste in the boba. Definitely a preference so try one before you go all in. The food itself was kind of hit or miss, but when it hit it really hit. The butter burger and fish balls were alright in my opinion. Some nostalgia, but overall nothing too fancy. The egg waffles were really cool, I got a pudding filled one, and I'm definitely a big fan. They had a lot of other options too for the egg waffle, I will be back to try others. Service: The service was average for a small shop, seems like there is only 1 person working when I got there so they were doing everything from taking orders to making the food. Depending on time of day it might take longer for your order to be ready. Ambiance: The inside was decorated well and had some fun elements near the front door. Aside from decorations the interior was pretty normal, some seating inside for groups of 4.

    It was so hot outside. So, I was craving bubble tea to cool down. Did you know Ding Cafe is…read moreexpanding their menu? They are serving ice cream and homemade cookies. Their drink menu has expanded too. There were so many choices. But, sad news, there is no more golden boba. Wahh! I loved their golden boba. : ( But, I do have to say their brown sugar boba is very good. Service was excellent. I was waited on right away and my drink was ready in a few minutes. The cafe keeps adding to their ambiance. New TV's, comfortable seating, and a foos ball table for those who want to play. It must be working, because the cafe is always crowded when I am there. You have to love a business that keeps improving and growing. Congratulations Ding Cafe on your newest menu items.

    Rating may go up in future if I try other things; this rating is just for the yogurt "coco mango"…read moredrink I got yesterday, so I remember that I already tried it and it wasn't one I'd get again. I don't know if they don't have a strong enough blender or if it just wasn't blended long enough but my drink came out super icy. The balance was also off. A good yogurt drink is a religious experience, and though I could tell this used fresh ingredients, it just didn't come out 'right'. IYKYK. There used to be this place in College Park that had a GOAT mango yogurt drink but sadly they mowed down the whole plaza and I don't think the shop found another location. I'm in mourning. Ding Cafe has a lot of other stuff on the menu and apparently artisanal ice cream, which had I been hungrier I might have tried. Unfortunately, it shares a plaza with Mia Cane which has really really good Vietnamese Ice Coffee, so if I come back earlier in the day when caffeine isn't verbotten...it's going to be hard to convince myself to try Ding again since it's easier to find good boba tea around here than good Cafe Sua De (sp). I'll likely come back to try the ice cream and / or other caffeine free drink options though and hopefully I find one that works better for me.
