Bubble Tea Café – Northampton, MA | 70 Flavors|Owner absentee
Business Description

strong student and visitor traffic. Originally built out in 2023 with an investment of $270,000, the café offers a modern design, 30 indoor
seats, and high-quality equipment in excellent condition.
The menu includes bubble tea, cakes, and buns, with over 70 self-developed bubble tea varieties that stand out from the 1–2 local
competitors. The location was formerly a Starbucks, providing a proven café-style setting in a high-visibility area.
With a stable team in place, operations are simple thanks to semi-finished ingredients, delivering a gross margin rate of up to 80%.
