milk+tea Austin — Restaurant in Austin

I just moved in the area from Houston, place is super nice like the way seating area is setup. On another note the service was terrible. They ran out of tapioca and was willing to wait for it. Waited 30min and the tapioca finally came out and drinks started to go out. There was 2 people that had ordered before me and was waiting for my drinks to come out, I was #96 but did not know that at the time because the young kid that charged my card said if I wanted a receipt or not I chose not to get one. I was not told that they went by numbers and so it started. Was there 45min then got up and approached the counter and saw 3 drinks just sitting there for like 5 min. As I was to ask where the 4th was the employee said can yall move back please. I guess she got frustrated but then again I understand there were a lot of people waiting but employee did not bother to ask me or anyone what number or what anyone ordered but again I did not know the number on my receipt. I was upset at that point because my drinks were melting and I was still missing a last drink. There was an order that was given out before mine order number 100 and he had like 12 drinks or so not mad at the customer but the way it was handled was terrible. On top of all of that fiasco my drinks were terrible lacking flavor especially the peach and vanilla milk teas. Sorry but this place is no longer getting...

It's a real shame that this place is kind of far from my house. I love this shop! My mom always go to the orginal pancake house and one day I decide to check out this shop. The menu puts more focus on teas, milk teas, juice, and yogurt. Not saying they don't have other types of drinks( ex: Slushes), but it not a Teapioca’s that caters to broader audience. The toppings selection has tons of jellies, golden bobas and even red bean. The staff was friendly and nice, they even tried to help my mom with picking out her own boba. She sadly, got two overwhelmed by the menu and didn't get anything. They were also really quick with getting out my drink. It felt like only a minute or two had passed and they had my drink out and ready. The atmosphere and the decor is really nice, it's easy to just sit back and relax and...

Solid option for bubble tea, even though Teapioca is in the same corner. Would recommend this over Teapioca for boba tea enthusiasts. Ding Tea has catered itself towards the Asian population in quality, though it fails in price.

I gave this place 4 stars as they charged me $0.35 for selecting a "no ice" option. I don't like my drinks cold and can do without the ice. I would have appreciated it if they had given me a heads up or just filled my cup up to how much they usually serve. Ice doesn't cost $0.35, and I think it's really petty that they charged me for one less step in their process.

The place is great for groups though, and they have a loft that overlooks the place. There are also a few spots for photos for everyone...
