Ding Tea Tampa - Bubble tea store in Tampa - 2202 W Waters Ave, USA

OMGGGG! So I stopped here and I'm so glad I did. Got a mango 🥭 strawberry 🍓 smoothie and with 70% sugar with 🍓 popping boba....DEEELLISHH. The cashier/barista was very informative and very nice 🙂 the whole experience down to the atmosphere was wonderful here.

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 fine 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.

The tea shop had a nice atmosphere and played chill music. The boba-baristas we’re pretty efficient. Their Matcha tea latte was made perfectly- creamy and lightly sweetened. The Monster boba seemed like it was going to be extremely sweet but it was actually mellow/milky with hints of brown sugar in flavor. The Strawberry yogurt was our least favorite - it was just too sour.

As a novice, the choices seemed endless. The wonderful crew led me in the right direction and the wife and I loved the Jasmine Green Tea with Milk and Crystal Boba. The 2nd visit the wife opted for a Lychee flavored tea with crystal boba and star fruit topping. The drinks are sure to be a huge hit once people try them. There are so many enticing choices that we will be coming here often. I love that you can control the sweetness level of the drinks, from 100% to 0%, making this a wise choice for those who need to watch their blood sugar levels. The serving size and pricing here versus other places is consistant, pricey drinks like going to Starbucks. Looking into making my own. Prices just went up.

Can’t go wrong with this place. It’s always clean, kept and friendly. They offer an award card. Which is pretty cool. Buy “x” amount of drinks and get a free one. Best part about it. Is that you get a stamp for every drink. Not every visit. Pretty cool. I really like the way they seal their teas. It’s an automated machine. That seals the top. Way better the a lid. No spillage. And the boba straw you get. Punches easily through it. When it’s slow. They place the drink in a small bag, just made for the cup. And give you a cup holder if you have more than 2. However, when they’re busy. No fun lil bag for your tea drink. It’s neither here nor there. But a nice touch, nonetheless. Great place for boba and teas sans boba. Check it out. You won’t regret it.

This place is a precious gem! I've lived on N Dale Mabry for almost a year and never knew this place existed, I'm glad I randomly searched for boba places near me. They're prices are good, tea is good and customer service is good. I can't wait to try the food next time! I hope im not ugly, because they'll be seeing more of my face!

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!

We stop here Everytime we visit Florida(6 times a year). Our first experiences here were great,and this used to be our favorite Ding tea,but the last few times,especially today, the teas are just not right. My husband ordered the top fruit tea. He gets it every time. They have a model cup of it that sits on the counter that has slices of fruit in it. He told them he wanted that. They don't put fruit in it anymore. Take down the model if it if you don't do it that way anymore. Also,the star fruit used to be little gelatin balls with fruit in it. Now it's just different jellies mixed. Three out of the five teas we ordered today wasn't right. Forty dollars for five teas,and three weren't right. I guess from now on,we'll skip this Ding Tea and stop at the ones in Pinellas Park or Bradenton Florida.
