    Love stopping here for coffee! The banana coffee is my favorite. Ann is super sweet all the time .. great service from her! They just added vending machines.. can't wait to play those once they're set up.

    House special coffee & Honey Jasmine Milk Tea

    Cute, little new tea and coffee shop. I thought it would be more coffee based, but had more milk teas/boba-like flavors than coffee. Regardless, I love to try jasmine milk teas for all of the boba stores I visit, so I got that and it was pretty good! Not too sweet or tea-forward. My boyfriend got the house special coffee and it was a pretty solid Vietnamese coffee. Service was great! We got our drinks in great time. I don't think I would be visiting again, mainly because of the location but also because nothing really stood out to me about the store. It was decent.

    Love the Ding Tea Rebrand! We went around lunch time and it wasn't too busy. Drinks are nice. A little too sweet for me but you can adjust sweetness. Popcorn chicken is good. Crunchy and juicy. Next time I would ask for more spicy seasoning but it was still good.

    Thinking that this was a ding tea establishment it was once it is no longer that place. However the tea that is on the menu and the drinks that are on the menu seem to be the same. The friendly Service at the cashier and tea maker is still great and friendly as well. One had an order than usual as part of my commute back home and the drinks was awesome. On a long route I usually order a coffee tea Boba, but on this particular route, I ordered my usual Hokkaido milk tea with Boba The seating is inside is the usual 3 to 4 tables with 3 to 4 chairs and a few stools. Now they have a casing for selling Pokémon stuff as well as a casing for selling Labubu stuff. I'll definitely return to try the other drinks, even though this is no longer a Ding Tea establishment I believe Bloom and Brew will be the next big trend.

    Service is so sweet :) called in my order before work was super quick seem less transaction! I love the peach black tea 25% sugar with lychee jelly and golden boba

    I was excited to try Bloom and Brew, and the coffee tasted great. The downside was that after just a few sips, it was gone. I checked the cup and realized it was mostly ice. Since the coffee was pre-made and taken from the fridge, the amount of ice felt unnecessary. I'm not trying to put down a hardworking business, just bringing awareness to something that stood out as a customer

    Hair inside fried tofu. Disgusting. Not only that the tofu was extremely cold and bland

    Found a hair in the fried tofu. Really disgusting. It also was extremely bland and cold. Texture felt completely off. Ordered the fried chicken as well and it was the same issue. Dry and cold

    Mango Green Milk Tea

    Really enjoyed this spot! The boba was super refreshing and perfectly balanced, not too sweet, with a really smooth flavor. The drinks looked great too, and the shop had a clean, modern vibe. Definitely a place I'd come back to for a quick boba run!

    Such a great boba spot! The drinks are always fresh and flavorful -- you can really taste the quality in every sip. They have a nice variety of drinks too, from classic milk teas to fruity blends. The staff here are super friendly and welcoming, always greeting customers with a smile and happy to give recommendations. The place is clean, cozy, and has a nice vibe to hang out or grab a drink to go. Highly recommend!

    Chill spot, fantastic service, and delicious popcorn chicken! I'm not a coffee person, but I actually enjoyed this coffee! Highly recommend you to come here and they have a Pokémon card vending machine! And they have a a lot of labubu stuff! Check them out!

    Service was fine but before I even drank my drank I got upset. I ordered a large hot drink and when I got it, it has the same amount as a regular drink just in a bigger cup. The lady said it's because it's hot so they don't want it to spill but what's the point of ordering a large then? So if you get a regular do you get even less? And she stated it's the same amount for a coke large with ice which I hate when places do. If little to no ice is offered then you should be able to get the full cup size. So if you're ordering a hot drink for the winter time or a drink with no ice 10/10 would not recommend this place.

    Absolutely OBSESSED with these two drinks. I come here at least 2/3x a week not only because the drinks are great but because the staff are as well! If you're looking for friendly service and great coffee definitely come here

    We were really looking forward to trying this new boba place next to our house but we were very disappointed. We went on a Saturday around 2pm, no one there other than us. There might have been a large online order because the employee was making lots drinks and someone came in after we ordered. We ordered a Matcha Milk Tea, 50% sweetness with light ice and Pandan green milk tea 75% sweetness with light ice from their summer menu. The drinks were honestly the worst drinks we have ever had and we go to a lot of boba shops. The pandan green milk tea was basically non-dairy milk tea with no sweetness nor pandan taste. The matcha milk tea was made up of a small amount of the cheapest powder mix and the rest non-dairy milk. Also there were still chunks of the matcha powder at the bottom. They were also about $7 each which made us even more disappointed.

    New on the menu: house coffee!

For food they only had pastries but for coffee and matcha lots of interesting options. They have beans from various parts of the World, but mainly Norway!!! We got really excited about this. We ordered a Volcano Latte and a regular latte. The Volcano latte had an explosion of flavors topped with a smoked salted foam out of this world. My new favorite.

Every time I come in, there are 5 to 6 employees behind the counter, but more than half of them are just standing around talking and laughing. It creates a distracting environment for the few people who are actually trying to work, and it shows in how slow and disorganized everything feels. What really pushed me to write this review is how often the app is completely inaccurate. I'll get a notification saying my drink is ready, only to show up and find that it hasn't even been started yet. Meanwhile, the person who is supposed to be making drinks is busy chatting with coworkers instead of focusing on orders. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's become a pattern, and nothing seems to improve. Long waits, lack of urgency, and poor communication make the whole experience frustrating, especially when you're paying premium prices for coffee. I used to enjoy coming here, but the repeated lack of professionalism and attention to customers has really turned me off. Hopefully management steps in and addresses this, because right now it feels like customers are not a priority at all.

Still, I decided to give this place a second chance (no angry neighbor this time), and I was glad I did! PARKING: There's street parking around the neighborhood - I parked on Almond Ave so I wasn't in front of a house. The spots right outside the shop were 30 minute only. If you can't find parking there's probably tons as you go east if you're willing to walk. WHAT I ORDERED: Pistachio cream cold brew THE DRINK: Amazing. I've had my share of acidic or bitter cold brews, and this was not one of them. The cream was perfectly sweetened and flavored . SERVICE: Exceeded my expectations. The baristas when I came in were very bubbly and answered my questions and gave me suggestions, and were funny too! I wish I got their names, but they were working on Monday early afternoon - I hope they get some recognition. We also got some samples of the food items (which may have swayed me to get the turkey panini next time I come in). Even with the experience I had above a while back ago, I remember going in to let the baristas know and they were very understanding and apologetic, which I really appreciated. VIBES: Probably one of the top coffee shops to get work done in OC. Here's my work-from-coffee-shop checklist: * OUTLETS: So many. Not at the tables downstairs but in the private rooms and at a lot of the seating upstairs. * WIFI/INTERNET: Yes, good speed * BATHROOMS: Yes, clean * WATER: You can ask for free water * VOLUME: Music was a little bit loud but not terrible * SEATING AVAILABILITY: Lotsssss of seats when I came on a Monday late morning-afternoon. Very cool that there were private rooms (which can be reserved two hours in advance if you call them), tables, bar-style seating upstairs, and most importantly, comfy couches!! * LAPTOP FRIENDLINESS: No restrictions BOTTOM LINE: I can't believe I almost missed out on this gem.
