Amazing boba. Great drink options.. slush, shakes, milk teas, latte, fruit tea etc. LOTS of different toppings: boba, lot of flavored jellies, pudding, aloe vera and cheese/tiramisu foam. Waaaay better than Boba Co and they're always super quick.

Best boba tea I've ever had, and I've had quite a lot from different tea shops. In particular, the Taro Milk Tea with boba. I get this every time, and it's so much better than other tea places' taro milk tea. For some reason, other places can have taro that's like, chalky, or thick, it can be weird. But at Ding Tea Poway it's always smooth and tastes great.
They also let you customize your levels of ice and sweetness, by quarters of amount, meaning you can get any order with like, 75% the normal amount of ice and 25% the normal amount of sugar, for example. You can even get extra, and I used to get 125% sugar, which was very sweet and tasted great, but I eventually went back to just getting the standard 100% ice and 100% sugar.
I've also had the Thai Iced Tea with boba, which is really good, as well as their ice cream sandwiches, also very good.
I gave a 4/5 on atmosphere, because it's not like a big dining hall with lots of attention grabbing things on the walls to provide an "atmosphere," but that's not something I'm even looking for in a boba place. I don't know why "Atmosphere" is one of the three things Google asks reviewers to rate, to be honest, it's not all that important, but if I put myself in the mindset of someone who does care about atmosphere, I guess I can see how they might want more, as the store has a very simplistic style, very minimalist, just a straightforward menu with everything very clean and white. I like it, but again, if you're looking for an interesting or exciting "atmosphere" I guess you might want something with a little more excitement. Hopefully most everyone else agrees with me and likes it how it is, though. I don't have any recommendations for the place to be any better, I hope they stay open for as long as possible.
