Ding Tea Santee

Hands down worst coffee milk tea Ive ever had. Coffee tasted cheap and bitter. I won't be coming back, it's worth driving two blocks to King Fu Tea.

Ding Tea Santee was a pleasant treat after a movie! We had Taro, Strawberry and Thai tea. It was $23.00 for the 3 and it was worth every penny. They're open from 10 am till 10 pm, and there's plenty of seating inside and out. This is going to be our new go to for Boba, the hours are perfect, especially for a late night treat. Thank you, Malaya for some awesome Boba!

Love me some ding tea!! The staff is young so being friendly is not a thing BUT they are respectful and get the job done! My tea is always good! A Saturday must!! (My treat for the week)

Vietnamese coffee... Taste more like a nutty cafe mocha. I prefer a traditional slow dripped espresso with condensed milk. I felt like it was also overpriced. Drink was served in a papercup, not the best cup if u plan om sipping on the drink. I gave this place a try. What can I say... I've had better.

Update: I've now been here many more times than 3 times, and I love their drinks and fast service. They're transitioning away from the franchise and will have a slightly different menu, but will be using the same Boba (much to my relief, their boba is my favorite)! I have been here a total of three times, and all three times I had great customer service and amazing milk teas with (golden/regular) boba.I am honestly surprised with how tasty their drinks and boba are! I've been to many tea places in SD, and I can see why Ding Tea is such a successful franchise. Great milk teas and delicious golden boba all three orders have been PERFECT. I have had their Signature (think traditional milk tea) Wintermelon (doesn't taste fruity, tastes more like a honey milk tea), and Hokkaido (caramel coffee flavor).Their menu is slightly smaller than other chains and shops, but I consider this a positive. The interior is small, but clean, and the exterior has a nice and roomy outdoor seating area. They also have hand sanitizer easily available.On my first visit, one of the workers brought out a water bowl for my pups! I tried them out because I hadn't had boba in forever , and it is a good walking distance for my pups and I.Thanks to their good customer service and delicious teas, I'll continue supporting this tea house.
