Ding Tea Athens
125 W Washington St, Athens, GA
Crema's Take
“This vibrant boba spot in Athens has earned a loyal following for its standout oolong milk tea and creative signature drinks like the beloved rainbow slush, with barista Vincent earning particular praise for his craft and consistency. The spacious, calm atmosphere and quick service make it an ideal spot for both a leisurely tea experience and a quick grab, while their customizable sugar levels and diverse menu of specialty drinks—from matcha to creative shakes—ensure there's something for everyone. Though some recent reviews mention a dip in quality, the shop's strong reputation for excellent service and its welcoming, family-friendly vibe keep it worth exploring.”

My experience here at Ding Tea Athens was amazing! The barista VINCENT made me the most deeelicious rainbow slush! 67/10 would recommend this drink or anything made by him. :flushed:
Every single time, the barista never fails to amaze me. Their Oolong milk tea has to be the best milk tea ever in my life. And it's consistently perfect EVERY single time. I am more of a tea flavor person, the milk consistency is stabilized perfectly well. Unbelievable, this place is DEFINITELY recommended, PLEASE GO!
Used to be really good when I first moved to athens, lately the quality has gone down significantly while the price has increased. I ordered a large Mango slush and could not enjoy my drink because of the large mango chunks as pictured and ended up throwing the $8 drink in the trash. I hadn’t noticed the chunks until I was already driving home.
Good place for some excellent boba tea and drinks. Variety of options to choose from, and ability to choose different sugar levels. The place is open, and has a calm vibe to it. Worth a try and explore their other menu options.
Very cute little boba shop! They always provide excellent service and are very quick. I enjoyed the Oreo shake-although it’s not thick at all which was surprising but it is a boba place not a milkshake place 😂 the flavor was so yummy though! I also enjoyed the rainbow slushie. You can get cups filled just with popping boba which is pretty cool! I personally was not a fan of the Vietnamese coffee, but that’s just me. I have enjoyed everything else that I’ve ordered here.
