I am so glad to see this boba spot in the Eagle Rock neighborhood for great boba drinks (and certainly saves us driving further east every time we get a craving!). Ding Tea is a Taiwanese chain boba shop and is next door to Milkfarm (check them out if you haven't already for excellent cheese) and several brunch places on Colorado, really easy to park on the street to pick up your drinks! COVID measures: Ding Tea limits capacity and currently (June 2021) asks you to wait outside for your order so that others can order inside. There is a plexiglass shield (which they've upped the audio with a microphone!) and masks are required at all times. Tea and boba: Love how I can taste the tea strength in the drinks, and the honey boba is usually soft and gives a very satisfying chew! So pretty too since it's almost translucent in a green tea. We are the type to enjoy teas, milk teas, and fruit teas: we order the oolong tea (Taiwan produces lovely oolong!), the jasmine green milk tea, and the peach and strawberry teas. The one thing that may need adjusting is sweetness consistency, especially with the fruit teas - I usually order less sweet (30%) and my husband half sweet (50%), and once mine tasted as sweet than my husband's drink. So I am not afraid of ordering less sweet just to err on the less sweet side here. Overall great! We often go every weekend for our boba refreshments, so convenient and also usually little wait, I'd say 10-15 minutes is average once you walk in the door, order, and get your order. read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - Order at the register! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Standard bubble tea place in an area that doesn't seem like it's oversaturated with bubble tea shops. It has all the basic offerings that you would find from milk tea to fruit tea. I got the hojika oolong milk tea. It was fragrant and the golden bubbles were nice and chewy. Staff was friendly and very patient with my indecisive self. There was not much of a cozy ambiance but it was clean and spacious. You can probably find street parking here. read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - Inside - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Taro smoothie had no flavor. It was very watered down. Every other ding tea I've been to never missed on this drink until today.

Visited during their grand opening week and another time after (making it twice since writing this review)! I'm super happy they finally opened an authentic Taiwanese boba place in Eagle Rock. Back then, I'd travel to Alhambra, San Gabriel, or Chinatown (super far and inconvenient!) just for boba. lol If I were still in high school, this would be my favorite hang out spot (it's even next to the Eagle Rock library, 10/10)! I'm jealous of the current high schoolers! As for the drinks themselves. I think they need to work a little more on the consistency. I've been to other Ding Tea locations so I know when the drink I usually order is off. However! I know that it's a new location so it's still in the works. But great move on opening this location! I'm sure they'll be super popular with the locals. Highly recommend! read more

Order was taken quickly, but products can only be described as mediocre. Received my lychee tea with three-quarter filled of ice and the other quarter full of Boba. Complained and still ended up with half a cup of ice. They added more tea, but now my drink does not taste like lychee. Cannot recommend. read more

It was opened on Halloween and I was able to grab some boba and Rick or treat at the same time ! Win win. Boba is super delicious and the way they decorate is cute. The customer service is good, they where nice . Even gave my son some option he may like. read more

This Boba tea spot is clean and welcoming, and the staff is friendly. My grandchildren each got a Boba tea - one aloe-peach with golden Boba, and the other aloe with pink lemonade and boba. They have been to this Ding Tea shop before, and those are their favorites! I just had a hazelnut coffee with almond milk, they asked me the percentage of sweet and I said the smallest amount but more than none, and I got exactly what I wanted and it was delicious. Their menu is huge with so much variety, and they will do exactly the combination you want when you order. I found out while I was there that they make avocado Boba with real avocado and not just imitation avocado green syrup like some places. So I had an avocado Boba too which they made fresh for me after they made sure they had ripe avocados on hand, and it was even better than I remembered when I had it in Hawaii years ago. All good - we will be back again! read more

Ordered the Honey Milk Tea. Great aesthetic. Came here on a Tuesday night and there wasn't a large line. Did the Yelp check in for the free upgrade. Got the monster boba latte as it was the top of the recomended list. The drink is very similar to the tiger sugar drinks. This drink had a small hint of salt in it which really balanced out the sweetness. Drink was very creamy. This place is definitely consistent with other Ding Teas. read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is one of the boba shops that I frequent when I'm in Eagle rock. They are always reliable, typically open later than other nearby boba shops. They are consistent, drinks aren't too sweet and are adjustable. The boba is nice and chewy. They have milk teas that I like with grass jelly and boba. Fast and clean inside. The only snag is the street parking situation, sometimes it's hard to find parking and or wait for somebody to move so that you can get parking at the meters. They used to have phone orders where I could just call in grab my drink and leave but now they no longer allow for that and you must order in person or on line. Sad that I lost that convenience. read more

The jasmine milk tea with lychee jelly is my favorite go to every single time. It is a classic but a great choice at Ding Tea. It is nice they have other milk options even though it is made with non-dairy creamer. The staff are very friendly and quick with making drinks. The store has indoor and outdoor seating. There's also board games and cards if you plan on staying there to catch up with friends. read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - The best boba drinks ever Friendly staffs and easy parking spot - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My go to drink is the brown sugar milk tea with boba or the Hokkaido oolong milk tea. I usually substitute for oat milk and I adjust my sweetness level if needed. The price of the milk teas are very reasonable and would recommend. The staff are very friendly and very fast with making drinks so there is practically no wait. Also, if you're a regular, use the clover rewards as their rewards are one of the best for returning customers. read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - Brown sugar milk tea w/ golden boba and Jasmine milk tea w/ lychee jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Decent boba spot for this area. The shop is quite small with no seating inside. They've got some cool Halloween decorations right now. I decided to try the kiwi aloe vera and strawberry yakult, which are both included in their top 10 drinks. I liked the strawberry yakult more. Drinks are pretty standard. One thing is that they need to update their menu prices displayed in the store... The drinks ended up costing more than what was stated on their menu. Parking sucks here. There is a lot of metered parking and it's normally full. read more

I really like Ding Tea! There were a few locations I would frequent when I was living in the Inland Empire. I am happy to see them in LA. The Winter Melon Tea and Lychee Milk Tea are my favorites. The latter is made with a black tea base and has subtle floral tones to balance the earthiness of the tea. (I did substitute it once for a green tea base and did not enjoy it as much). Their "monster boba" which appears to be rated #1 is also tasty. It honestly reminds me of pancakes with syrup. I appreciate the customization options, i.e. less sugar/ice/etc. I also noticed that they have a variety of milks in the fridge so I imagine you can customize with non-dairy options as well. read more

I tried this place out the other night for the first time ever and I came back the following night that says enough. I really love their monster boba! I love that they have specific % of ice and also levels of sweetness. You can make your drink as specific as you like it, tailor it according to your likes! The workers here are also quite friendly. Place is super clean too! Definitely coming back here for more! Maybe I'll try other times...... or maybe I'll just come back for more monster boba! read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - Monster boba, Large, with boba and flan, 30% ice and half sweet. SO BOMB! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I like that this location is open until 11pm. I can now satisfy my late night boba cravings. There's no indoor seating but they do have two tables outside for customers to sit. I also appreciate how clean this location is. I got the Hokkaido oolong milk tea, but it didn't really taste like oolong milk tea. Kinda tasted like caramel milk tea (kinda sweet for my tastebud so get this if you have sweet tooth). Maybe I'll get the regular oolong milk tea next time. Boyfriend got the kiwi aloe drink and he liked his drink. read more

This is one of my favorite for boba drinks. I love every drink they have. There is no consistency of how they cook the boba. There's days it's too hard that it's not cook yet and sometimes the boba is well cook that it's easy to chew. Other than boba issue, drinks are amazing! Highly suggest when order boba drink do half sago and half boba. read more

Another boba store. Pretty good, staff was friendly. I made a group order and they waited patiently as I got all the orders in. Clean inside too! They have tasty macarons. read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Ding Tea is having its soft opening with a limited menu from now until 3/26. The grand opening is 3/27. Part of the international Ding Tea franchise, the Taiwanese boba shop was founded in 2004. The emphasis is on the quality of their teas and the freshness of those teas. The Eagle Rock branch has lots of drinks to choose from (fresh tea, flavored tea, milk tea, juice, smoothie/slush, Yakult/yogurt, tea lattes, and cold coffee drinks. You can specify the sweetness and ice levels and there are lots of toppings/add-ins to choose from: jellies, boba, pudding, cheese foam, sea salt cream, tiramisu foam, Dalgona coffee mousse, etc. The full menu isn't available yet. For food, I only saw macarons. Drinks come in two sizes. A larger size is 75 cents extra. Oolong milk tea ($4.50 for a large, 50 cents for crystal boba): Better than I remembered (I had it at Ding Tea Alhambra), the tea flavor was stronger and more complex. The drink was creamy and not too sweet at 25% sweetness. The crystal boba were nice - firm, lightly sweet, and gelatinous. The drink was cold and didn't have too much ice. They didn't have grass jelly today but they will in the future. It's a cute spot with white subway tile and a wall of fake greenery with the neon sign for your Instagram pics.

One of my favorite local boba places! Not the best cheese/sea foam but the milk teas and boba are all good quality! Love the winter melon, jasmine, lavender milk teas and the strawberry yakult! my fav flavors! The service is nice, they prepare your boba so quickly and there's cute seating inside! read more

Upon entering it was very nice, clean, and smelled really nice (like perfume). I was greeted immediately by two ladies who were both very helpful. I ordered the taro milk tea with crystal boba and the popcorn chicken. I loved the milk tea, it was perfectly sweetened and just the right amount of taro flavor. It was delicious!! I unfortunately can't say the same about the popcorn chicken, it was way too salty and was overall not great (can definitely be improved). Overall, the experience was nice and the service was great. read more

i have been waiting and waiting for this ding tea to open the minute they put their temporary sign and finally, the day has come! they're open and they don't disappoint! i've tried many drinks during the soft opening and the grand opening and each drink has been ON POINT! drinks i've tried: signature milk tea w/ coffee jelly honey milk green tea w/ red bean honey green tea w/ aloe thai tea w/ boba thai tea smoothie w/ boba i've been to a lot of ding tea locations and the staff here are probably the friendliest. the location is brand new so maybe it's because they're still all new to this BUT i appreciate it! looking forward to trying more drinks! read more

Tucked in between a cheese front and another store, this boba shop has some awkward parking choices available on the street right by the shops. The inside is fresh and clean, the decor really pleasing to the eye while you wait for your drink. The staff are masked up and a glass divider separates you from them during the order. There are ice and sugar level choices in percentages, which I appreciate given most places give you too much sugar for too much sweetness or too much ice that waters down the flavors. There are also different non-diary milk or sweeteners that a lactose-intolerant boba lover like myself always appreciates. There are lots of different toppings, and I chose golden boba and lychee popping toppings. They were soft and squishy and aptly tasted subtly sweet in my Thai tea boba. I would definitely try a couple other drinks next time I roll by. They also have customers wait outside until their orders are ready, allowing for social distancing. It really is something I take my hat off to for businesses given the variants of the virus going around. read more

Love it so clean friendly staff though it took time but the price is cheap regarding the size

Today we stopped by Ding Tea as we heard they opened just few days ago on Instagram! I think this week was a soft opening so there wasn't a long line. We ordered the monster boba which is rated number 1 and also the Hokkaido oolong, rated 5. Both drinks were really good! The monster drink is on the sweeter side so if you're not a big fan of the sweetness I would suggest requesting them to decrease your sugar level. Compared to other boba shops near by, I would rate their boba quality to be fairly high! I really like the size of their boba, it's just the right size for it to be chewy and enjoyable. If you're in the area give them a visit. & we will be back with our puppy some time soon! read more

Go to place for boba! Really nice inside, people are chill, and boba is great!!!!!!!!

Im so happy that Ding Tea opened a location closer to home. I had this in Corona, CA when I visited my bestfriend. Ding Tea is in my top 3 go to boba place. I always get their signature milk tea with 30% sweet and 50% ice. My definition of a perfect milk tea has to have the perfect combination of tea and milk. I am picky with my milk tea. I've tried so many places that I lost count. The staff here are nice. Parking is hard though. I went here on a Friday at 630pm and parked a block away by one of the residential streets. I dont mind walking since I love to workout anyway. Cant wait to be back here read more

Its been awhile since we have gone to a Ding Tea franchise. I am glad we did. Our order online was a bit hectic, since I was driving and the kid was ordering, but in the end it worked out. Drinks were ready before the time given to us on Yelp. Hazelnut Almond Milk Tea with Boba and Coffee Jelly was yummy. Asked for half ice and got no ice (love). The kid got Honey Milk Tea with Boba and forgot to order it with Coffee Jelly but loved their drink because there was no ice to navigate at the end when we were at the end of our drinks. We loved the availability of alternative milks. Parking kinda stinks on Colorado but we got lucky after the kid went in. Definitely going to go back. read more

Service here is quite good, very fast! Of course the drinks are always on point and the place is always clean.

Really cute place! Drinks are pretty consistent which I love. I get jasmine green tea, full sweet with golden boba and sea foam. Sooo good! My dad usually gets no sugar in his Signature MT and one time we noticed that it wasn't so we brought it back for an adjustment and the employees apologized and happily made a new drink for him. The place is the the newest cool spot to grab drinks and a couple Macarons. Attracts a lot of the younger crowd so I can understand why they're so busy because they literally come in groups. I'm excited for them to start offering their popcorn chicken. Happy for them and happy they opened up in Eagle Rock! read more

Ding Tea Eagle Rock - My monster boba is my usually order, i usually chew the ice after so i opened it & found a hair in my ice... - Bubble Tea Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is ran by children, who are too scared to make it clear to the customer what can and can't be done as far as their drinks go. When I use the word children, I mean grown women who act like children when dealing with situations that they feel uncomfortable with. I was not asking for anything other than a larger cup for extra ice. which which they said yes to only to then make it in a smaller cup and then tell me they would have to charge me for a larger cup with extra ice. like girl tell me at the register and I would've paid the difference like I literally had a coupon for a free drink. I'm never going back there again if those girls are still working there, Boba isn't even that good. read more

This place does it right. The boba is soft & the tea is properly brewed. I first tried their product at the Thaitown location on Hollywood Blvd and they do good work over there too so glad this new location opened right down the street from my work. I will warn that the Yakult drinks are unbearably sweet so maybe stick to yogurt if you're looking for digestive-assistance. Otherwise the green tea & black tea are terrific & the golden boba adds a little sweetness without overwhelming (though last time I ordered they tasted like coffee. Not sure if that was a mistake or by design?). If not, crystal boba or aloe are great options for a little something extra in your favorite chilled drink. With a hot summer ahead, I'm sure I'll be visiting a lot. read more
