PSA to all my boba babes: You're not doing yourself any justice if you haven't tried Ding Tea St. Paul! It's the first Ding Tea in MN and it's so. freakin. GOOD. I've tried a good chunk of their menu and haven't been disappointed. I'm a HUGE fan of their taro milk tea, wintermelon milk tea, and the passion fruit yakult. We're talking some serious delicious flavor here. Drinks are customizable in the sweetness department so if you like it sweet or not too sweet - you can make that call. Super cute interior that's nice and bright. If your camera eats/drinks first, you'll be happy to hear that they have a giant flower wall and lots of natural lighting to play with. Located by Magic Noodle, there's also plenty of parking in the back, including an overflow parking lot. TLDR; go try their drinks. Totally worth it. read more

New #boba pace in town and we are loving it. We all got the Jasmine Milk Green Tea. 1. Location: 8.5/10 It is quite accessible by car, train or on foot. There is a small parking lot in the back of the shop so you don't have to parallel park 2. Taste: 9/10 The tea taste was just on point: it is not too strong but it is prominent enough that you could tell it is good jasmine tea. The drink is not overly sweet, granted I got 50% sugar but next time I may get 70% because their sweetness is a little lighter than other places. I love the Golden Boba and my friend got double orders of the Golden Boba so next time I will probably do that lol 3. Overall: 9/10 Pleased with the option I got. Good taste and cute place. Prices are quite reasonable. Their Monster Boba Latte looks pretty good too so I may try that next time! read more

As a first timer here, I want to give Ding tea a five for the drink i got. I got the Aloe Vera Peach fruit juice. This drink was delicious. I do want to try this place another time to see other options would be as good as the drink I got. One little problem I would say is that the drink I got was very sweet. However , that doesn't stop me from trying this place again. read more

Ding tea is probably one of the top three boba places I frequent in Minnesota. There golden boba is incomparable. They have the perfect amount of sweetness and qq (chewiness) that no other place have been able to mimic. My go to drinks here are the signature milk tea (50% sweetness) and their Hokkaido black milk tea (30% sweetness with boba and red bean). IMO their Hokkaido milk tea is sweeter than their signature so I often get it less sweet (especially since I add boba and red bean as the toppings). read more

I had my first experience at Ding Tea yesterday and I really enjoyed my experience. I was a bit nervous to order because I hadn't been there before and was overwhelmed by the choices but I was met with extreme helpfulness. They also have a beautiful flower wall that's perfect for those who like to Instagram. I was also nervous about parking but they have parking right behind the building plus an overflow lot so it's absolutely not an issue. I can't wait to go back and try some of their other menu goodies. I got the Hokkaido oolong tea with golden boba and it was deeeeelish! read more

Their boba is a perfect texture! I highly recommend the Hokkaido milk tea it's SO good. Parking is in the back and is pretty plentiful

It was late, they were closing in 20 minutes. As a courtesy, I called ahead to let them know we had a party of 5 and I get it, it was soon closing time. I wanted to make sure it wouldn't be an issue. I told the guy we wouldn't get there until ten minutes before close. The guy said his concern wasn't the time, it was whether they had enough tea. He checked their stock and assured me it was okay to come. We arrived at the time we said we would and the doors were locked (it wasn't even closing time!). I called again and the guy just said sorry, they were closed. I wish he would have just said over the phone that it was close to closing time and unfortunately they couldn't serve a party of 5 that late. What a waste of time. We will not be returning. read more

I'm from out of town and was recommend by a friend that been here. So glad I went there the milk tea was really good and was able to taste the flavor of the tea unlike the few other places I been too. Ordered the Hokkaido black milk tea and Hazelnut milk tea. The tea was strong and not so sweet. Really recommend this place read more

Still one of the best boba tea place in the twin city. The comfortable and clean environment help this place becomes our regular weekly visits. The service is always consistent , very friendly and makes the drink consistently well. Definitely recommend to visit this place for pleasant Boba Drinks read more

Went to Ding Tea again and ordered the matcha latte.... I really love matcha and the drink just tasted like milk to me. I couldn't really taste the matcha at all. I've been here twice now and either time I was not really impressed by my drinks. Either I'm ordering wrong or the flavors/tastes are just not there for me. Paid 6+ for a small drink which also is a bit on the pricey side. read more

Best boba place in the Twin Cities. Love the atmosphere and decorations. Parking was convenient as there are spots in the back of the shop. My go to drinks would be the winter melon milk tea and the brown sugar milk tea. Will definitely return back for more. read more

Guava fruit tea was delicious and they were not terribly expensive and quick. Will come again.

This is the first branch Dingtea in MN I believe. I've tried Dingtea other places before so I was excited for this branch opening in MN. Ofc I had to take the opportunity and order a whole bunch of drinks which were all good. But my favorite will always be the classic flavor. Highly satisfied with this new branch! read more

Tried two drinks at this place. Black milk tea (just alright) and the hokkaido oolong milk tea which was very delicious. I liked the tea taste and only got it with 25% sugar so that was perfect for me. They said it wasn't possible but they did it so I don't understand that but glad they accommodated. The salt foam was good but they only gave you a little bit of it (sad). Overall, I'd give them another try. read more

Solid milk tea and boba fixings. They day I when, they didn't have any coffee drinks. But found good tea alternative. Very instagram friendly. read more

Super friendly staff and great service during grand opening weekend. They were all wearing masking and managing how many people are going in and out. I tried the Taro Milk Tea and Classic Milk Tea with tapioca pearls, definitely recommend both! read more

Great great great tasting drinks! One of the best simple milk teas I've had in a while. Has really pungent flavors and many jelly and boba options. Friendly staff, cute interior and very clean. Fast service and cute over all vibe. Only reason it did not get 5 stars was because it has limited seating. can seat maybe 10-12 people throughout the shop comfortably. Other than that, I would visit again! read more

Upon entering, Ding tea provides a modern feel... it is bright and spacious and smells of delicious fruit and syrup! I ordered the hazelnut milk tea and my 10 year old ordered the mango milk tea. We asked about flavors, cashier was not knowledgeable but person in the back making the drinks came up and provided some good suggestions. Everything came out quick and hazelnut milk tea was delicious - it tasted like an ice cold silky Ferrero Rocher milkshake. The mango milk tea was a strange comb for us, it was creamy and sweet - u can taste the mango but I think the tea threw it off for us. We still finished it but definitely hazelnut beat it out of the park. We will be back though! read more

Really really great tea! And they always have a sweet staff that's works hated to get drinks out as fast as possible. I always bring friends here who visit, I get the Hokkaido oolong milk tea with golden boba. read more

Always top touch tasting teas and coffees!! Love it! If it was closer to me, it will be my Starbucks and coffee to go place !!

One of my favorite bubble tea spots. I wish it was closer to home. I love that the drinks are not overly sweet, the flavor of tea is strong, boba is nice and soft. Highly recommend to any bubble tea lovers. read more

I've frequent DingTea on several occasions. They never disappoint. I normally get the Hokkaido Black Milk Tea w/golden bobas. Flavor is always on point. Staff is super nice and service is fast. Would recommend to anyone. Glad there's a DingTea in MN now. Thank you. read more

2% convenience fee for CC? Wow, what a way to make extra money hope those goes to emplyee, if not Poor employees, i hope they get paid decent working here. Because of the convenience fee, employee wont be getting tips most of the time. What a shady owner... read more

I live in Brooklyn park where two other tea shops are a 2 min drive from my house. Yet I drive 30 mins to get ding tea. I go mostly every Sunday to get my tea fix. I Love their fruit teas. As a business owner myself I applaud these guys for opening up during a pandemic, with great service and great quality in their product. With the pandemic lots of business are forced to take shortcut /cut back or up charge to kept their maintain their business but ding tea truly puts the best in their business. They have staffing that can keep up, things get backed up sometimes but that's to be expected when busy. Staff are friendly and helpful, I'm sure they get asked a lot of questions and they never seemed annoyed of answering my questions about all the differences in drinks. Consistency is very important to me as a returning customer. And the drinks are consistent, always tasting the same, always tasting amazing. I'm tried and I'm lazy when because I work all the time. Yet I still come here weekly for a cup of tea.. actually to be honest I always order two for myself. Because I don't want to waste a trip. read more

Went for their grand opening today. Very long lines which took about an hour to get our drinks (expected for a 1st day so I'm ok with that). Overall nice service from the staff at the counter. They ran out of boba which was really sad. We ordered a signature with 100% sweetness but it had no sweetness and was very watered down. We also ordered a Hokkaido with 30% sweetness and one with 70% sweetness- both tasted like it had 100%. Other people that I talked to stated they were missing some add ons in their drink or saying the jasmine tea didn't taste like jasmine. I wish there was a bit more consistency. Also drinks that we wanted no ice in, had about 1/3 of the cup filled with ice. Overall I understand that a new place will have kinks they need to work out, so I will likely try the place in the future again, and adjust my review accordingly if necessary. read more

Mmm, I stopped here for the first time today. It was fairly busy, so I waited about 10 minutes for my drink, but everyone was masked and fairly spaced out. I ordered the Taro milk tea with golden boba, which I'm drinking right now. It's delicious! The perfect lavender color, it almost tastes like a really creamy Taro ice cream. Yum! I also like that you can customize your sweetness and ice levels. I noticed that the cups are #5 for for recycling (polypropylene), which is acceptable to recycle curbside in Saint Paul (yay!) Overall, a really lovely first trip and I'll be back soon. read more

So good. No other places compare. I try a new drink each time I go and think it can't be better than the last drink, and always is.

I got the brown sugar milk tea it was delicious and the service was wonderful and the got my order done In good time

Easily the BEST bubble tea I've had in Saint Paul. But you will also pay heavily for it. Definitely more of a treat than an every day visit. Be prepared for their insta ready flower art! read more

The tea was okay, the staff were very kind, but the speakers blasted pop and country from 2008 and it made it impossible for us to sit there. read more

great bubble tea place - everything I've gotten has been delicious; I especially love the yakult drinks and the Hokkaido milk tea. Has a parking lot behind the building. read more

So dang good, and the male owner/manager is literally amazing. Super kind and accommodating to any requests about drinks or the space!

My go-to spot. I regret it every time I go to a different boba shop lol. After half a year going here, I do think there could be more variety or that they could expand their menu a bit with more creative flavors, but compared to many other places--I can't really complain. Great service and setting as well. Can be busy on nights but it's worth it. read more
