Jeddah’s Tearoom - Durham

Unfriendly personnel and expensive, musty tea. Practically no snacks or variety on the menu.

I’d heard such good things and was so excited to try this place. Unfortunately it was HORRIBLE. My iced chai latte came in a cup meant for warm drinks. Giving them the benefit of the doubt I still tried it and it tasted like WATER. I’m not sure if they’re under new management or if that barista just needs to be fired. Either way I won’t be back.

Seems very misleading and fraudulent to have accepted a $10k loan that was interest free from the Kiva community if you were not intending to repay it. Not only have you not repaid almost any of your loan, you have not shared any updates on why you haven't been paying your loan back. It's great to see that your business is doing well and I'm glad I could help support in getting your business off the ground. An update to the people that helped fund your business with a $10k/interest free loan would be much appreciated. The public should know that you have taken advantage of your lenders by not repaying almost any of your loan. The last payment anyone received was back in 2019, before Covid. Happy to remove this posting should repayment resume.

Placed an order through the website months ago and never received my order. Shipping label was created but they never sent it out. No response from the seller other than “we will look into it” and no follow up. Have tried multiple times to get this handled.

I backed Jeddah's Tea on Kickstarter before I moved away from Durham and it was nice to return a couple years later and see what a lovely, cozy space they've created there with great decor and an unmatched tea selection. My only complaint is that it's always dead silent and empty every time I go in just some music in the background would go a long way. Although I'm sure the pandemic is to thank for the less than ideal atmosphere. (Also the milk frother is never working. I really hope to see the tea shop grow it's definitely a gap we needed filled.
