    It's a pretty small shop tucked in the strip mall, with parking in front. There are some tables in chairs for seating inside and out, and a tv on the inside. I've only tried a couple drinks from here, but my go to is the Strawberry Lychee Lemonade (which comes with lychee jelly but you can sub for boba or remove if you don't like). It's pretty sweet and refreshing, and one of the only boba spots that has any lemonade options so I give them an extra star for that. I will say, most times I've gone here, the service has been between kinda and really slow and delayed. I'm not sure if it's the size of the menu making it difficult to get out in a timely manner, the staff specifically, or something else but the speed of taking orders and making drinks is a little slower than I'd like as a customer. Last time in there were 2 workers and about 10 people behind on making drinks by the time my order was taken. Meaning it took about 15 minutes to get my drink. I'll try and order online next time and see if that may be faster

    Out of the many boba shops that I've been to, this one seems quite mediocre. This shop has a giant menu with a lot of variety, maybe even too many. I had the Iron Oolong Milk Tea with grass jelly, while my partner had the Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with crystal boba. Both drinks tasted ok, nothing really stood out. There is a free and decently sized parking lot, which is always great to see.

    Double Matcha
    Madison F.

    I love teatopia the service is always so good. Each time I have gone they have always been friendly and helpful. I typically get the double matcha with the free gram of matcha and 1/2 sweet. I noticed it was a little too sweet for me when I did not ask for 1/2 sweet but still very yummy. Their matcha is pretty strong which I love and it always tastes so refreshing. I actually purchased a tin which was a pretty good price and very yummy when I made it on my own. Also, I have tried the boba and it super good as well. There are like 3-4 tables in there and wifi. It is pretty small so if you want somewhere to do homework there may not be space but its definitely worth visiting!

    Email neglected to mention the expiration date, so I had no idea when this offer expired
    Derek W.

    10 days after I posted my last review (update?), I got an email from Teatopia indicating they missed me and loaded a special offer onto my account: 50% off a drink of my choice, valid from the date when the email was sent. Now read the last nine words of the last sentence again. Yup, the email only mentioned when the offer was loaded, but didn't even mention the expiration date! Was it the very next day? Next week? Or even next month? Well, it certainly wasn't 5 months because I stopped by this Teatopia earlier in the week to ask when the expiration date of that offer was as there was no indication on the email I had received. The bobarista behind the front counter didn't have an idea, although she sort of implied that the offer had expired after looking at the "valid from" in my email. However, I had to mention that was the date I received the email, not the expiration date. She did suggest I put in my phone number into the tablet at the front counter. After doing so, all I saw were reward tiers, but not the 50% off offer I was given back in May. At this point, it was clear the offer had expired, but there was no way for me to tell when it had expired. This really flustered me because I usually keep a log of these kinds of deals and rewards on a spreadsheet, but because they didn't specify an expiration date in the email offer, I didn't know how to add this to my spreadsheet. I only remembered this offer because I had made a wrong turn or two on my way home that day, and I had just suddenly remembered this offer on a whim. I also got real lucky with parking, taking the last available spot in front of the shop before another driver could get there. A simple, but very important detail, and they completely overlooked it. The bobarista did ask if I was willing to place an order, but having experienced nothing but disappointment on my last visit, I declined to even though there was no other customer in the shop, a stark contrast from my last visit when I couldn't even find an open seat. I have a handful of points on my rewards account, but I'd need a lot more in order to redeem my points and save a few bucks. Teatopia may be a utopia to most others, but to me, it's a dystopia with a side of dysfunctionality, at least when it comes to marketing. There are way better boba shops closer to me, so why should I return to this one?

    Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea & Iron Oolong Milk Tea
    Kevin T.

    Passed by this shop as we were out in Long Beach, was pretty intrigued about a shop that used to be Ding Tea but rebranded. Prices are pretty similar to Ding Tea, along the lines of $6 range to $8. Parking is free in a moderate size plaza, pretty accessible. There's some tables outside along with some tables inside, although the shop itself is pretty small. My partner and I ordered the Phoenix Oolong Milk Tea with Crystal Boba and the Iron Oolong Milk Tea with Grass Jelly to try out their various toppings and new drinks menu. Both drinks came out pretty quickly even though the shop was quite busy. I love the interior design, pretty dark majestic vibes type with plenty of colorful LED signs & painting/posters. Drinks wise, it was pretty much what I expected. It's not super duper tasty, but very much "decent." Both were pretty refreshing as it was a hot summer day, it wasn't too sweet either with both drinks at 50% sugar adjustment level. I always rate boba shops on how great their cups are, and Teatopia is a solid 4/5. Very much sturdy & cute design, no spills. A little side note is that they have a DIY ramen on the side of the counter where you can customize your own, pretty unique for a boba shop but definitely worth a look if you visit.

    The best banana matcha in town!!! This is definitely my go to spot for matcha. The strawberry and other matcha is also great. But the banana matcha has to my favorite. NOT ONLY are the matchas good. But their other drinks in general! The strawberry yakult is also one of my favorites there. I love how they have a kids menu as well LOL Service is fast and efficient! If you do want to order matcha, I suggest ordering ahead for pick up. If you order there it might take a while, because they do HAND WHISK their matcha. Which is probably why it's delicious. lol Ambiance- small seating inside, more seating outside. OH they also have a self serve ramen bar!

    Stumbled across this delightful location. Clean, music video playing on a screen. Nice local spot. Quick friendly service. I love Thai iced tea and decided to try their blended version. Wow, what a refreshing drink! Looking forward to trying more of their blended drinks in the near future.

    Boba is an extra .85 cents and with the sales tax it comes out to 8.23
    Nicole R.

    I came to the plaza specifically to get coffee at Cyclops but I was craving boba and saw this place right by it. The place is clean and has a chill atmosphere. I like the neon signs. The tea was delicious. The cup that it came in was made of a thick plastic so I kept it. That's probably why It's pricey. I got a blended taro tea with boba and it was like 8+ dollars because boba is extra for some reason. If you're going to specialize in milk tea, why would you charge extra for boba? I've never seen that before. I don't think I will be back because of that.

    This spot is so gooood! All of their matcha drinks are so high quality. Almost everyone in there left with a matcha so I think that says a lot. It's nutty, perfectly sweet, great matcha aroma with slight astringency. The shop itself is really cute and I love all the neon signs. Service was fast and the staff was very friendly. I'll definitely be back.

    Came here on a Friday night and was amazed at the menu - they had a bunch of milk teas, fruit teas, smoothies, and matcha drinks! Neon signs line the walls and really add to the late night vibe! We ordered the mango sago and guava matcha, and the barista gave us 10% off when we joined the queue phone number list. It's a pretty impressive boba spot in the Long Beach area!

    It's incredibly confusing and disingenuous to combine all the past reviews for a completely different business with the existing new Teatopia. Teatopia is nothing like Ding Tea, which was a reputable chain that set high standards for all the local boba tea places. Teatopia has a different management, ownership, and even the menu. There is no reason why all the past reviews for Ding Tea continue to fall under Teatopia. Out of curiosity, I gave Teatopia a chance, and I was disappointed. The service was aloof, and the actual tea carried less tea flavor than the artificial syrup used in the concoction. The boba was not warm, and they were distinctively smaller and harder. Fortunately, Ding Tea has a new location at Bixby Knolls. I'll have to drive farther to enjoy my favorite boba tea.

    Teatopia is located off Clark near CSULB in Long Beach. It used to be a Ding Tea location and their parking spots still is labelled as "Ding Tea". They essentially have the same menu as Ding Tea and the drinks are pretty similar. I do enjoy Ding Tea. Drinks are generally between $6 to $7.50. If you want a snack, you could order instant ramen for $6; however, that's not really my "cup of tea". The parking situation is what causes me to choose to go elsewhere for my boba needs. There are only a few spots that are designated for Teatopia and these spots are often not available.

    New boba shop, they are located in the plaza where Ding Tea was before. Drinks were good and the Staff were nice.

    Rename this place to "dinky tea" because their regular size drinks are a joke. Drink taste was like any other place.

    Do you guys do catering for a birthday party?

    Yes we do! Please email us at DingTeaLBC@gmail.com

    What is the monster drink? Does it have tea in it?

    One of the most popular known drink made with fresh rich milk added brown sugar and brown sugar pearl. It's one of mines & my daughter's go to boba drink we get it every time when we crave for boba or when we go and have our boba dates.

    Do you guys offer hot drinks?

    Yes we do. If you look at our menu, anything with a flame next to the name means there is a “hot” option for the drink.

    Hi I was wondering can you buy gift cards online?

    Sorry, they’re only available for purchase in store

    Does this Long Beach Ding Tea location sell physical gift cards? Thank you for your help!

    Yes we do!

    Can I substitute the non-dairy creamer used on your milk teas to a choice of my plant based milk from your menu (i.e., almond, oat, or soy)? Or is your non-dairy creamer already premixed on the milk tea choices? Thanks!

    Great question! Unfortunately, we are unable to sub out our non dairy creamer for plant based milk for the milk teas. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes!… 

    Is there a way to still rack up points when ordering online?

    Hi Kimberly. Our apologies for the late response. Unfortunately, at this time points can only be accrued thru in-store purchases. Thank you

    What kind of milk is used in the milk teas?

    Hello. We use our own in house powder creamer that is non-dairy based.

I was in the area and wanted to stop by 2nd and PCH to see how things changed since the last time I was there. I was originally planning to go to the Traffic Circle location, but suddenly remembered there was this location on the other side of PCH. I'm a part of Nekter's rewards program, and I got an email saying that my points would have expired real soon. I had just enough points to redeem a $3 small smoothie. The small smoothie is 16 oz, and if I wanted to get it for free, I would have had to spend just as many dollars plus twice as many cents to do so. I'm not going to do that just for $3 savings, so I chose to get my $3 smoothie here. When I arrived on Friday after lunch, there were a couple of girls in line, who were having quite the conversation with the cashier. Luckily, I didn't have to wait that long, and it did give me additional time to decide which smoothie I wanted. When it was my turn to order, the cashier greeted me, and I asked if there was any smoothie that I couldn't get using my reward. She simply mentioned that as long as it was offered in the "Small" size, it would work. I asked about Coffee Kickstart since it was early afternoon, a time when I start to feel drowsy and need that extra kick of caffeine to get me through the day. At first, the cashier said she'd only recommend it for the flavor, and then I was trying to look for other options that would give me that boost I needed. She eventually said that the Coffee Kickstart would be a good choice for that, and so I chose the Coffee Kickstart. Understandably, they did not have the Aloha Smoothie on their menu, but I'm sure if I asked, they would have been as confused as you are if you are still reading this review. She then asked me if I wanted whey or pea protein. Whey is a dairy base, but pea is vegan. As much as I love saying "no way!", I had to say "yes way" to whey lol. It took a few minutes for her to prepare my drink with a glove in one hand, but not the other. After I got my drink, I grabbed a straw from the pickup counter and headed back to my car. While the Coffee Kickstart did give me that boost to get me through the rest of that afternoon, I was disappointed that it didn't have the consistency of a smoothie until I reached the bottom half of the cup. The first half was pretty watered down, and it felt like I was drinking a regular iced coffee. However, it tasted more like a smoothie afterwards, but too little too late I guess. I had just finished the smoothie by the time I got back home. Was the smoothie bad? No, but it's not something I would get again, even if I were looking for that extra caffeine kick. I probably should have gone with the Health Nut or the PB Mocha instead, but even so, with how watered down my drinks have been from here, who knows how watery those other protein smoothies would be? My experience here was definitely better than 1 star, so I'll give 1 more star to my original rating, but that's it, unfortunately. Unless all the *other* stars magically align again, I probably won't be back here, especially since it's in an area I'm not in frequently, and I *still* don't see a Yelp check-in offer.
