Ding Tea overs a good selection of various drinks from milks tea to yakult drinks. They offer different customization levels for ice and sweetness levels. I tried the Passion Fruit Yakult Drink with golden boba and it did offer anything new. It also didn't help that they forgot my order and had us wait several minutes for it. The food selection is decent but be wary that the portion sizes are pretty small, especially for the popcorn chicken. Aside from this, the vibe of the place is the pretty lax and aesthetically pleasing. The games need to be organized. Overall, an okay place but there's definitely better choices. read more

We have so many tea bars in or close to Elk Grove. I driveby Ding Tea many times and wanted to try them out. It is not too late now in the covid-19 California lockdown! We can still order it for delivery! This is what we do this time. So convenience! The order is ready in 10 minutes. The delivery took about another 15 minutes. Not bad at all! We have ordered the Signature Milk Tea with Red Bean and the Yellow Mango with Grass Jelly. Both still very cold when we received it. It is in a bag designed for two cups of tea. Very cute and good design! The Signature Milk Tea with Red Bean is very good. But the Yellow Mango with Grass Jelly is a little too sweet even I order it 50% sweetness. I will try 25% next time. LOL! The grass jelly in the drink is excellent. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now. Read some amazing reviews and finally got to try it. I ordered the signature milk tea. Although I didn't personally like the drink, the boba is outstanding. I was expecting the signature milk tea to be special but it is just Classic milk tea which is a bit disappointing. On the bright side, I also got 4 Peach Milk Teas for the family and they loved it. read more

Ding Tea - Signature Milk Tea Peach Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

With the amount of employees I see there, they always seem to have a slow turnout. I've gone in when it's just me and one other customer, 3-4 employees in the back and it still takes my drinks more than 5 minutes. I only order teas so I know how long it should really take. The boba is good though, their golden boba is especially good. Unsure if they still sell it. I typically order my drinks at 50% sweetness. read more

I have to change my review. I know everyone loves this place because I once did. But I came in today and I ordered the number 1. A brown sugar latte. Which tasted just like milk. I already drove off and as I was drinking it then immediately it wasn't what I expected. I came back in to try to get a replacement drink or even add something stronger in it. Of course Covid they can't touch my drink. For a replacement he denied me even though I was disappointed with my drink. I would have came back and still praised this place if they had good customer service. But unfortunately he didn't offer anything that could have made up for this disappointment. I even wanted a refund. He said I already drank it. It's honestly still full. And if I wanted a $4 milk. I would have bought a gallon of milk from the supermarket. read more

Ding Tea - Milk tasking brown sugar latte drink.. where's the brown sugar? Where's the Latte? NOWHERE!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Used to be pretty good - even voted best boba in sac at one point. Unfortunately, since the pandemic, they've really gone downhill. They don't carry like half their menu and the vibes are just sad in there now. They do seem to be a lot faster at making drinks though.. but maybe that's because no one seems to be going anymore. I no longer care for it. read more

We were in the area, so stopped by after lunch for some boba. I had already tried their Roseville location and was impressed. Since there are so many tea bars in the south Sacramento area, I like to try the ones which have good yelp reviews. We ordered a Wintermelon milk tea (they were out of lychee milk tea) and Mango green tea with rainbow jelly. First time trying rainbow jelly and I didn't like it. I will stick with Mango or lychee jelly next time. The only thing I noticed was that there was some visible powder in our drinks compared to other places, which I found a bit odd. Otherwise recommend for boba beginners or pros. read more

Ding Tea - Mango Tea with rainbow jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ding Tea is a fairly new and franchised Boba spot in Sacramento/Elk Grove. They have cute cups and creative drinks. I've only been here twice, the first time I got the Taro Latte and the second time, a milk tea but I don't remember which one. The place itself is nice, they have a beautiful painting on one side of the wall and a photo booth like background decorated wall of flowers on another side. When it's not super busy, I can see Ding Tea being a nice place to study, seeing how it's next to a college campus. On the other hand, it can be a chill place to hang out with friends, they have a few board and card games. The only downside about this place is that it's fairly small, so they don't have much seating. The couple times that I've been here, I always see people struggling to find somewhere to sit. I like that Ding Tea has basic milk teas that you can get at other Boba shops, BUT they also have their own creative menu as well with drinks that you can't exactly get elsewhere. I never had a Taro Latte nor have I ever seen it on a menu elsewhere, so I decided to try it here for my first visit. I believe they use actual taro, I remember having a super tiny piece of taro come up my straw, however, the drink itself was kind of bland. I tasted a hint of taro and that was about it. I felt like I was drinking a little bit of taro mixed with milk. The second time I came, I got a milk tea but don't remember which one. The same issue with my drink as last time, it was bland. I don't remember tasting any tea, it's as if the tea was too watered down. Also, I don't know why the second time around, they legit took 15 minutes to make my 1 drink order. There were 4 people ahead of me but they all ordered 1 drink. The first time I came it was fairly busy, but I got my drink in about 5 minutes, even though I had at least 5 people ahead of me ‍ I'd be willing to give Ding Tea another try, as long as they're able to fix their drinks. read more

Every time I'm in the the area we would always go here. We love their golden boba with the brown sugar latte! With the pandemic they have the online ordering or phone in. I prefer the online since their phone lines tends to be busy with all the orders coming in. Their hours has changed since the pandemic and open later in the day. I would highly recommend this place. read more

I went here as part of the Boba Bracket. I honestly didn't even know this place was in this area. Their drinks were good, but not as good as other places I've been to. I am picky with boba, but like I said, if you're within the area and want some boba, Ding Tea is the place to be! read more

I am a frequent here and come at least once a week or so. I never gave a review to Ding Tea before, but here I go. I ordered the Hokkaido Oolong Milk Tea because I wanted to try out something new. I did not like it because of the toffee flavor. My boyfriend told me to just ask them for a new drink. I was hesitant, so he went and asked a worker there. She let him and made a new one right away! Her name was Mia, very sweet and nice! I've seen her a couple of times before but she's always so smiley. Great milk tea and great service will always bring me back to ding tea! read more

This place use to be really solid. The last couple of visits have been really disappointing. The drinks taste like it's just straight milk. The customer service was horrible today. The two workers did not greet or acknowledge us. . I didn't wanna order through the kiosk because I had a question. I waited ten minutes to speak to someone. I was still ignored, I gave up and ordered through the kiosk. They have items on the menu that they don't even have. Update your menu, provide a better experience, and make your drink taste better! read more

What a gem!! A great place for drinks and snacks for both adults and kids. Lively atmosphere with the latest music playing into the background. There are board games to play while waiting for your drinks and snacks. This spot is our go to for our family time. Kids love the boba, slush and smoothie here. Lots of selections to choose from. Our usually are taro milk tea with real taro and brown sugar boba latte. Kids like the strawberry smoothie and mango slush. Can't really go wrong with any of the drinks here. We ordered snacks here too. Not much to choose from but snacks are good. Can't go wrong with deep fried snacks. We has the spicy shrimp, popcorn chicken and fries. Great place for everyone! read more

Alright alright Ding Tea is by far the best Boba spot ! My first review was responded by owner & she cleared up my confusion. This spot is nice and clean, staff are friendly. My favorite is the Hokkaido Oolong Milk tea with grass jelly. Everytime I come it just hits the spot ! read more

Ding Tea - Sig Milk Tea. fruit tea. strawberry yakult, strawberry green tea. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Ding tea has gave me ups & downs. Mainly because when they first opened, they were always out of something. Because it was that good! I'm giving 5 stars because their brown sugar boba latte is really good (if it's made right) The first time I've ever had it, I thought it was amazing. Both the drink itself and the boba is sweet just how I like it. The way they make it is different from a regular milk tea and it does not have any coffee in it even though it's called a "latte". There's been times when I came in and they did not make it that good and the drink just tastes like milk with brown sugar in the cup and it wasn't that sweet because I can taste just the milk. Their other popular drink is the taro with cream cheese. It's just a regular taro milk tea with cheese foam on top. Not that special to me. I prefer the brown sugar boba latte over that. I did have the Hokkaido black milk tea before and that was good. They're pretty fast with making their drinks and the golden boba is soft and good. read more

Came in craving bubble tea and Ding Tea was the closest to me while driving. Music level is pretty loud for me and not loud for the rest of customers. I didn't know what I wanted so I asked 2 employees what their favorite drinks were: Honey Milk Tea at 75% sweet and Winter Melon Milk Tea at 50% sweet. In my opinion, knowing what you like at the place of employment makes a great sale. I like to hear recommendations from employees when ordering food/drinks and this time their recommendations were spot on. Thank you Ding Tea employees! read more

Quick service and go to place for awesome milk tea. If I am not going to vinhouse the I am going to Ding Tea for some milk tea or fruit drinks. The Lychee delight is fresh and delicious. You can't really go wrong with their milk tea or fruit drinks. Awesome service as well. They are willing to revise drinks if there is an issue with it like the boba or tea. Overall, awesome place! read more

Haven't had Ding Tea in a while and definitely miss it back home in LA. Glad to have this place out here though! I got a Honey Green Tea with Golden Boba. The tea was refreshing and not too sweet. The boba was soft, chewy, and the right amount of sweetness. Always love the flower walls that most Ding Tea locations have. So pretty and perfect for pictures! I was also surprised that this location offers a variety of snacks/appetizers as well like Popcorn Chicken, French Fries, Spam Musubi, and etc. I'll definitely be back to get drinks and try out their food! read more

ONE DRINK: Peach Tea Miami!! It is impeccable. It's a combo of strawberry and peach fruit tea that's hard to beat. Super refreshing tasting, not too sweet, and a pinch of tartness makes it the perfect warm afternoon and nights refresher! Although I am a milk tea person about 60% of the time every time I've visited Ding Tea I get this fruit tea. Yakult drinks are also on the tops of my list but the Yakult drinks here are just okay. Listen to me. Just get the Peachy Miami. Drinks are a little over average in cost... But what the heck, they're a treat. I live 35 minutes away so it's worth the smile. The shop is clean and the decor is well thought out and very artsy for you IG enthusiasts. Seems like a nice place to hangout! If you're more hungry than the small portions of chicken here can satisfy, there's a Taco Bell and Popeyes in or right next to the plaza. Oh, and a sushi place right next door! A no frills boba joint w/ great hours for those who are interested in straying away from the typical boba chains here in the Sac area and are also nightowls or out of town! Oh, and did I mention the cups are super cute and unique?! They also make this place a special hole in the wall boba shop. read more

Haven't had this in awhile and I was craving for this boba drink from Ding tea.

Ding Tea - its so pity that you upgrade a drink and asked for no ice, its literally the same as a regular size - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I first tried Ding Tea in socal where they have a lot more of this boba chain. I wish they had more closer to me. We happened upon the Sacramento location since we had stopped to grab lunch nearby on our drive back from Tahoe. I've only tried the brown sugar pearl latte but I really like it! I want it again but I don't live near Sacramento at all. Hopefully they open up a location in the bay area and I would definitely go. My only conflict is that the regular size cups are kind of small but they are much cuter with the rounded bottom then the large size cups that are the traditional size. read more

Ding Tea is a fun place to go to for the ambience, but I was not satisfied with the service. First of all, I wanted a taro milk tea but was told it couldn't be made with soy milk, and it turned out none of the milk teas except for the Thai milk tea could be made with soy milk. When I requested 50% sweetness and no ice, I was informed the level of ice for this drink can not be adjusted. It's common to be lactose intolerant, and I don't always want a fruit tea or latte, and since it was cold, I didn't want ice. I shouldn't have to justify my dissatisfaction. read more

Ding Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

One of my favorite boba shops. The golden boba taste better in terms of taste and texture compared to the regular black boba pearls. The hot weather made me crave for some bubble tea to cool my night after a hectic grocery trip. I walked in and it was pretty crowded, but the drinks were being made pretty quick. Orders: All were made with 75% sugar and Large size Green tea with cheese cream with golden boba - I love the cheese cream here more than Happy Lemon because I could taste the cheese flavor more. Right consistency of sweetness. Blended Mango slushie with lychee jelly - I think this is one of their seasonal flavors for the summer. It was refreshing and not sweet. It was blended really well cause I didn't taste any bits of ice cubes Taro with golden boba - They asked me if I wanted "fresh taro bits" (free of charge), but I declined because it could overwhelm the drink and make it kinda chunky. I got this drink for my sister and she said "one of the best taro milk tea" she had in a long time and not too sugary. Even if I don't adjust the sugar levels, their drinks overall aren't that sweet compared to other places and not too much ice either. The only times I adjust the sweetness level is when I order their lattes and signature drinks. Those can be a bit sweet for me especially since I don't like sugary things. Good service, and a happy customer. read more

Ding Tea - Green tea w. Cc (one of the orders) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

I like this place. Too bad it's so far from me. The tea is strong, good flavors, and the drinks aren't as sweet and heavy with cream like a lot of places. They don't pile on boba either, so it's good for people who want a lower calorie boba fix. I was surprised but the small helping of boba, but thinking about it, I never finish the boba in my drinks anyway, so the amount is fine. read more

Came here for the first time and tried the brown sugar milk tea with golden boba it taste like straight crap!

This is definitely my favorite boba place in the Sac/Davis area. I go to UC Davis, and I still drive 30 minutes to Sac 2-3 times a week just to get Ding Tea. My recommendations are the wintermelon milk tea with less sugar/ice (literally the best wintermelon I've ever had) and the cheese cream drinks. The atmosphere of the store is really cute and clean, with a detailed painted mural and one wall and a cutesy floral backdrop perfect for photos on another. There is plenty of seating in the store, and clean bathrooms for customers to use. The employees are also really friendly, especially the manager who always recognizes me because I go there so often! I would highly recommend people to try Ding Tea if they're in the Sac/Davis area, because it's one of the best boba shops I've ever been to. read more

I've been many times but particularly last night had me impressed. The place was clean and I loved that there was enough laces t fit and chat up a storm with friends and or family. Seating is very important. The people working were very nice and polite and I loved that! I came in around 9pm with a friend and I ordered a winter melon green tea with 25% sweetness. The drink was perfect! It tasted so so good and I'm glad I lowered the sweetness because I was able to taste the winter melon and green tea for what it was! Can't wait to come back! Drink some tea while spilling the tea read more

I remember this place being lollicup years ago. I finally returned after so many years to find its a different Boba shop. The fries were hot and crunchy. One of the best fries I've had. Not your typical soggy old fries. I love how you can customize the sweetness of the drinks. Only complaint is that the medium size is not the size they display on the front counter. Other than that, the flavors of the drinks were good. read more

This boba shop is super aesthetically pleasing! The flower wall to even the bathrooms are beautifully decorated! My friend and I got the taro cheese foam and the Hokkaido black milk tea with golden boba. The taro was light and delicious. The Hokkaido tasted a lot like coffee. The golden boba was super fluffy and chewy. It had the consistency of grass jelly but tasted like boba. Definitely going to try it again! read more

Story time! On the way to Lake Tahoe we stopped by this boba shop for a quick fix, but my boyfriend accidentally left my mini backpack (wallet, $$, battery packs, glasses) there and we didn't realize until we were hours away. (I was so pissed!!) he quickly contacted the shop and they agreed to hold it until we drove back three days later. When we came to pick it up everything was still inside and they were super friendly, we certainly got lucky. The staff here is very honest and kind! Onto the boba, they have a very unique golden boba which was completely new to me. At first I was weary because I thought it would be a weird consistency like the white agar boba, but it was great and not too sweet like some other stores. This store is also very nicely decorated, perfect for pictures! It's clear the owners and staff care a lot about the business and overall quality of their service/products. Will definitely return when I'm in the area. THANK YOU DING TEA!! read more

Great flavor and options. Service is as expected these days, low staffed so wait times on two drinks seems like I ordered a family meal. Call me old school but I like customer interaction instead of the kiosk read more

The drinks here are generously flavored and the menu is expansive, but not to the point where it's overwhelming. Ding Tea rivals ShareTea as the best tea place in Elk Grove, and its hard to pick between the two. Both have awesome decor and great tasting drinks. I like that DingTea offers food. It's basic snacks you'd find at a Quickly or T4: calamari, French fries, popcorn chicken, etc. It was tasty, but its really hard to screw up fried food. But just the fact that they offer food already gives this place an edge. But what I really love about this place (as wierd as it is to say) is the bathroom!! It's locked with the code on the back of your order pager. So right away you're thinking "oh geez. Locked bathrooms? There must be graffiti all over the walls and the faucet leaking puddles onto the floor". But when I walked in it felt like a bathroom on a luxury cruise ship (see attached photo). Wall-to-ceiling tiles, automatic soap dispensers, and a ring-lit mirror. The entire Bathroom was spic and span. Weird to compliment a bathroom, but I feel like food establishment owners have no idea just how much a dirty bathroom actually kills the entire vibe and experience. One star was taken off because the food took almost 20 min to come out, and the place was empty with no orders in front of me. I figured maybe it's because they had just opened, but some guys who came in a good 10 minutes after me got their food at the exact same time. Not really a prioritization of orders, there. So bottom line: if you want great drinks, decent comfort food, and cool interior decor, visit here. If you want to feel like a king or queen while you go pee, then DEFINITELY come here!I read more

I went to Ding tea today. It was nice that they had the self service kiosks. I ordered two drinks and there were three customers ahead of mine, it took them 43 minutes to fulfill my order. Within that time they made 8 drinks ahead of mine and in that time there were 2 workers moving slower than sloths. Don't waste your time unless you order ahead or go someplace else. read more

Oh my goooooodddddd!! I have been to Ding Tea several times and haven't found my cup of tea yet, heh heh. I've tried a few drinks - passion fruit juice, taro with salted cheese, and brown sugar latte to name a few. BUT! Today I have found my true true lovey drink that is now my new fav!! Okay, I love the taste of the brown sugar but the latte just tastes like sweet milk, lacking the umpfth. You know what I mean? I'm a simple milk tea kinda girl. So, I decided to get their Signature milk tea ADD the brown sugar syrup around my cup, WITH the golden boba. And lemme tell you, it is PERFECTION. I always grab a few drinks at a new spot to find my favorite unless the first drink is a disappointment or a huge gem. The first few times I've found the drinks to be good, but that's all. NOWWWWW trust me when I say you'll find me here more often. Their service is fast depending when you go. I went today with no lines and drinks were out in a few minutes. Sometimes I'm in line for 10 minutes & 20 minutes later my drink comes out. Just be patient & you'll get your boba fix!! Next time though, I'll have to lower my sweetness because the brown sugar syrup is sweet enough :P mmmmmm read more
