A Chinese chain known for its soft-serve ice cream and tea options is on its way to the Greater Boston area, with two shops in the works.
According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Mixue Ice Cream & Tea is planning to open locations in Allston and Quincy, with a check on the website for the business confirming this, though the Allston location also mentions Brookline (it appears that they may have mixed up Harvard Street and Harvard Avenue and it will apparently be coming to Allston as the Brookline address is residential). Once the two shops open, expect such options as ice cream, sundaes, milk tea, floats, coffee, and more.
Mixue dates back to 1997 when it was established in Zhengzhou; the chain currently has approximately 60,000 locations worldwide, including a handful in New York and California.
It appears that the Allston location will be at 178 Harvard Street while the Quincy location will be at 451 Hancock Street. The website for the chain is at https://join.mixueusfranchise.com/
