Austin-born Milk + Tea has quietly slipped into Richardson, opening its first Dallas-Fort Worth shop in a familiar Campbell Road spot that used to belong to Ding Tea. The new boba stop started serving drinks on Monday, giving local tea fans one more reason to linger along this already busy beverage corridor.
Opening details
According to Community Impact, Milk + Tea debuted on Monday at 581 W. Campbell Road, Ste. 119. The outlet notes that the company flagged the opening in a social-media post referenced in its coverage.
Menu and Austin roots
Per the brand’s website, Milk + Tea launched in Austin and leans on a mix of classic drinks and seasonal fruit infusions. The site says teas are brewed daily, and boba pearls are made hourly, and it highlights several Central Texas locations along with signature brown-sugar and fruit-forward creations. With the Richardson shop, the company is extending that Central Texas footprint into its first Dallas-Fort Worth outpost.
Former tenant and timeline
The Campbell Road address was previously home to Ding Tea, which Community Impact reports closed on March 1 for construction and renovation. Eater Dallas previously covered Ding Tea’s arrival at 581 W. Campbell Road in 2019, underscoring that this corner has long been friendly territory for bubble-tea operators.
Where it fits in Richardson’s boba scene
Milk + Tea is entering an already crowded field. Richardson is loaded with boba spots, including local favorites like Fat Straws, TP Tea, and Boba Latte. Guides such as Wanderlog call out multiple Richardson tea shops, which helps explain why chains keep testing the city for new openings. For Campbell Road regulars, the arrival simply adds another nearby option for milk tea, brown-sugar lattes, and rotating seasonal fruit drinks.
