I recently visited Ding Tea and had a bit of a frustrating experience. We ordered some Coffee Tea drinks, but after completing the purchase, we were informed that the coffee machine was broken. We completely understand that things happen, and we were okay with that. However, the issue arose when we noticed the price of our original drinks were higher than the new ones offered. When we politely asked about the price difference, the cashier insisted that there was no price change. But as she rang up the new drinks, she realized there actually was a price difference, though nothing was done to address it. No adjustments were made, and no offer was made to refund the difference.

Overall, the lack of communication and work ethic made this a...

I loved ding tea when the bellaire location was open. I’m plain jane.. always get the signature milk tea. The drinks I ordered were the signature milk tea, brown sugar milk tea and Thai tea. The boba was mushier than what I’m used to, all of the drinks tasted watered down and were room temperature.. had little to no ice. I was very excited for this location to open but I’m so...
