Established & Highly Rated Boba Tea Café – * Currently in Escrow
Business Description
Step into a fully established and highly rated boba tea café with a loyal local following and strong brand recognition. This quick-serve shop is known for its high-quality drinks, delicious Asian-inspired snacks, and consistently excellent customer service. Located in a vibrant, high-traffic retail and business center anchored by staple tenants like LA Fitness and surrounded by corporate offices, the café enjoys steady foot traffic from both professionals and nearby residents.
The café features a spacious and modern lobby with ample dine-in seating, complete with tables and chairs for a comfortable and casual experience. The open layout supports both dine-in guests and efficient takeout service, making it an ideal setup for quick service and high customer turnover during peak hours.
The facility is well maintained and includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen with everything needed to support high-volume drink and food service. With thousands of positive reviews and top placement on major delivery platforms, this café has greater digital visibility and customer reach than any other boba shop in the area. A self-ordering kiosk and POS system further streamline operations, supporting labor efficiency and modern customer preferences.
This is a rare opportunity to take over a business with strong fundamentals, proven demand, and immediate upside. The café has remained a staple in the community despite increasing local competition, thanks to its early market entry, wider menu variety, and loyal customer base.
