Ding Tea Tampa

The service was good (friendly greeting & normal wait time for the drink). I tried the Hokkaido Oolong Milk Tea. Unfortunately the flavor of the drink was off. It had a funky aftertaste so I could not drink much of it. I tried the same flavor at another business to be sure it wasn't a characteristic of that flavor & it was better. The inside of this place also had a weird smell so it seemed like it transferred to the drink.

Fast and efficient service! One of my go to local boba stop. The boba is the perfect texture. Another topping I like is the grass jelly. It adds another layer of earthiness to the drink which I love.All the teas I've tried are the best.Lychee green tea, peach black tea, winter melon green tea & honey oolong milk tea are my tried & true. The fruit flavors never overpower the deliciously brewed tea, which this place has nailed!

This Ding Tea used to be a solid 4.5 stars two years ago but has gone down hill ever since.I used to come here at least once a week years ago but I told my self to stop coming here until they start to care again, so I recently visited to see if anything changed but with my experience it showed me not to comeback to this franchise again ever. Ding tea Tampa, has been serving old watered down beverages and their sanitation has plummeted. It can be one person in the store for hours but all the other tables are rarely clean, and floors are dirty.If you expect to grab a quick snack from what they offer don't even bother, it could be a minute after they open and they won't have any in stock. Don't get me started on the service, it's just not a welcoming environment anymore, their either on the phone making you wait or rushing your order to get the person behind you as if money is going to fly away; and for $7+ for a drink it feels as though no one cares. After tip your drink is over 8.50,comes as one set size, leaking and watered down, don't waste your time coming here. Go to teastori on Fowler instead the employees are sweet and you get the most for your money along with fresh Boba.

this is one of my favorite tea shops. The best part being that you can choose the sweetness of your drink. I will always go out of my way to get a tea from here. they are consistently good!The same owners also own the mochi donut shop in the same plaza. So the food that they have displayed is from the donut shop three doors down! you can order everything in one place.don't forget to grab a snack!

I've come here a few times now when I've been in the area and I'm always satisfied with my drink. I'll definitely continue to come here when I'm nearby.

Super yummy boba!!! Perfect chew and bounce to them, I wish there was more brown sugar in it since it was more just the pearls. Cheese foam is better than other boba places in the area! Taro milk tea was a great blend of it all. All I'd say is they could use some music in there, was a little silent. I'd definitely go back to try a fruit tea!

Pros:Clean and cute interior. You can modify the sugar content similar to Kung Fu. The boba itself was soft and chewy.They have a physical stamp card- 10 purchases gets a free drink.(Kung Fu switched to an app that makes it more cost prohibitive to get a free drink)They seem to come up with new drinks every so often.The Thai Tea was one of the better iterations I've had from a boba place and rivaled some from a few dedicated Thai restaurants. I would recommend getting it. The Strawberry Coconut Butterfly had a sweet coconut taste and the strawberry solution at the bottom was tasty. I don't know what the "blue" part is supposed to taste like, but it looked pretty though!Adequate parking ConsWith tax, each drink costs about $7.15 (both Thai Tea and Strawberry coconut butterfly) Kung Fu /Kaleisia near USF are about $5.60 on average.A handful of customers came in during my time there. 1-2 had some mild errors (including boba when it was not asked or giving a matcha instead of monster flavor).Overall: A pretty good boba shop if you're in the Carrolwood or Waters area though it may be an occasional jaunt for me due to the multiple boba places closer to me.

Better than your commercial boba tea places. They offer a lot of different options in terms of type of drink, flavor, and toppings which I can appreciate. My Thai Milk Tea with Black Boba was basic. Nothing to rave about, but at least it was good. If you do decide to grab a bite to eat be aware you'll have to walk two doors down to the Mochi Donut space they seem to be partnered with. The space was small, but cozy enough to relax with your drink for a bit alone or with a few friends. They have outlets along the wall where seating is which is nice.

I have been on a Thai tea kick lately so I traveled to ding tea for adventure some new flavorsThe store front is in a plaza with a couple other shops I walked in and didn't realize how small it was gonna be but has a lot of potential everyone was crowded at the front to order but it went quickly, I order my Thai tea with rainbow jelly and not after that it was in my hand!I was able to admire the store a little bit and realized they had food and a cute back area. My tea was great the flavor was what I needed, the jelly's are a little firm but overall delicious

Ding Tea is THE place to go if you desperately need some boba that's delicious, authentic, and enjoyable! I get these kicks fairly often, so when I one day was in Tampa and wanted boba, I immediately beelined to the nearest Ding Tea, because I knew it would be great based on visiting other locations.As suspected, Ding Tea did not fail!! They had a blueberry cheesecake milk tea special when I went that I just had to try, and I wish I had had a magical cup that just continued to refill every time it got to the last dregs. How amazing would that be?!What I love about Ding Tea is how many options they really have. They do also have food, but just with their teas there are long lists for black tea bases, blended drinks and milk teas and more. And you choose your sweetness level which is a wholeee game changer. Can't recommend hitting up a Ding Tea more! You will be swinging for the fences!
