LimeRed Teahouse Is Opening in Allston

A few months ago, we reported that a dining and drinking spot in Allston was closing and a couple of the people behind the place would be opening a new "sister" spot nearby. Now we have learned where it will be located.

A licensing board page within the city of Boston website indicates that LimeRed Teahouse has applied for a common victualler license to operate on Commonwealth Avenue by Packards Corner, a short distance west of where Limoo Tea Bar had been until shutting down in late December. Limoo Tea Bar had featured bubble tea-inspired cocktails as well as items such as steamed buns, popcorn chicken, meat on a stick, and pita pockets, and while it is not yet known whether the offerings at LimeRed Teahouse will be the same, the fact that it has a similar name and is considered a sister restaurant may indicate that it could be comparable to the now-closed spot.

Another person who was involved with Limoo Tea Bar was also planning to open a new restaurant as well, though no further information on that place has been given as of yet.

The address for this new spot in Allston is: LimeRed Teahouse, 1092-1104 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, MA, 02215.

[June 26 update: Eater Boston mentions that LimeRed Teahouse is now open, joining two other locations in Amherst and Northampton; the article also says that the place offers a variety of teas and coffees along with smoothies, ice cream-filled egglet waffle cones, macarons, and more.]
