Cheapest picks and best value
Watching your spend? Here are the low-cost options at this store, cheapest first.
Macarons at $2.50 each, if you just want a small treat.
Fresh Black Tea and Fresh Green Tea at $3.25, the cheapest drinks.
Fruit juices at $4.25, caffeine-free and fruity.
Hot drinks at $4.95.
Matcha Milk Tea at $5.00, the cheapest milk tea here.
My pick for value (opinion): a fresh tea at $3.25 with one topping gets you a drink you can customize for under $5 at this store. If you want a milk tea, matcha at $5.00 is the lowest-priced one. These are my views, not Ding Tea claims.
Sizes, sugar, ice, and toppings
Ding Tea drinks are made to order. You can shape almost every cup.
Size. Many drinks come in a regular size, with a larger cup for extra cost. The prices above are for the regular size at this store.
Sugar. You can ask for full, less, half, or no sugar. Some drinks, like wintermelon, are already very sweet, so many people pick low sugar.
Ice. You can choose extra, regular, less, or no ice.
Toppings. Toppings cost extra and are not included in the base price. At this store, adding black boba is $0.75. Common toppings across Ding Tea shops include black boba, crystal boba, golden boba, and jellies like grass, coffee, or coconut. Exact toppings and prices change by store.
How to order Ding Tea
You have a few ways to get your drink.
In store. Walk in and order at the counter. Most shops have seating.
Pickup online. Many stores take pickup orders through their own ordering page, like the Toast page used for this guide.
Delivery. Ding Tea shops are widely listed on Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Grubhub. Delivery prices are often higher than pickup, and fees apply.
Not every store sells the same drinks. Some add coffee, lattes, slush, or food. Check your local store’s page before you order.
Does Ding Tea list calories and allergens?
Ding Tea does not publish an official calorie or allergen chart for its U.S. drinks. Drinks are made to order, and your choices change the numbers. Sugar level, ice, cup size, milk type, and toppings all shift the calories. Any single calorie count you see online for a Ding Tea drink is an estimate, not an official figure, so this guide does not list calorie numbers.
What you can count on in general terms:
Fresh teas and fruit teas with low or no sugar are the lightest drinks.
Milk teas and brown sugar drinks are richer, since they use creamer and added sugar.
Boba, jellies, and puddings add more sugar and calories on top.
For allergens, the most common ones are milk and soy, because many milk teas use a non-dairy creamer that can contain milk or soy. Tapioca boba is made from cassava starch. Macarons at this store are gluten and wheat free. If you have an allergy, ask the store directly before ordering, since recipes and toppings vary.
Dairy free and vegan options
You can drink dairy-free at Ding Tea, but you have to choose with care.
Fresh teas, fruit teas, and fruit juices usually have no dairy.
Many milk teas use a non-dairy creamer, but that creamer can still contain milk proteins, so it is not always vegan.
Some stores offer oat, almond, or whole milk swaps. Ask if yours does.
Honey drinks and Yakult are not vegan, since Yakult is a dairy drink.
If strict vegan matters to you, a fruit tea or fruit juice with no milk and no honey is the safest bet. Confirm the creamer and toppings with staff.
Ding Tea hours
Hours change from store to store. As an example, the Foothill Ranch, California store lists these pickup hours.
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 11:30 AM to 8:45 PM |
| Monday | 11:30 AM to 8:45 PM |
| Tuesday | 11:30 AM to 8:45 PM |
| Wednesday | 11:30 AM to 8:45 PM |
| Thursday | 11:30 AM to 8:45 PM |
| Friday | 11:30 AM to 9:45 PM |

Always check your own store’s page for its real hours, since they differ by city.
