A new boba tea and drink shop, Xing Fu Tang, is preparing to open on University Avenue in Berkeley. The establishment will be located at 1923 University Avenue, sharing space with Masa Ramen Bistro. This new venue will join a lively neighborhood that includes popular spots such as Imm Thai Street Food, The Butcher’s Son Vegan Delicatessen & Bakery, and Trader Joe’s.
The franchisee, Tindy Ching, was contacted for further details regarding the shop’s opening plans but could not provide additional information before publication. Nonetheless, the anticipation surrounding the arrival of this international chain is palpable.
Xing Fu Tang is recognized for its hand-crafted brown sugar boba from Taiwan. An introduction on their website highlights their unique offering: “Xing Fu Tang (幸福堂) is finally here in the United States, featuring an open kitchen concept where boba pearls are freshly hand-made hourly and cooked to order for all guests to see what goes into their cups.” This transparency aims to enhance customer experience, allowing patrons to witness the preparation of their drinks.
The chain emphasizes quality, stating that they utilize only whole, natural ingredients, avoiding artificial syrups and preservatives. All beverages and desserts at Xing Fu Tang are made to order, incorporating high-quality ingredients imported from Taiwan, along with locally sourced produce and organic milk.
Among their signature menu items is the Brown Sugar Boba Milk, which features freshly caramelized brown sugar boba and is topped with lightly torched brown sugar, prepared in a “crème brulee style.” This item is likely to become a favorite among boba enthusiasts.
While an official opening date has yet to be announced, those interested in updates can follow What Now San Antonio on Facebook for the latest news.
