"This booming teahouse chain specializes in Chinese flower and fruit teas, particularly jasmine teas. The brand is growing rapidly around the world—after launching its first location in 2021 in Shenzhen, China, it has grown to more than 2,000 worldwide locations. The soft opening for Molly Tea started at the end of October, and has been a popular addition to San Mateo's B Street promenade, drawing long lines."
"As the Bay Area slowly—some might say glacially—crawls into spring, there's nothing better than sipping a hot cup of tea or coffee to warm yourself up. This past year, the region has seen a blossoming of cafes operating under a number of umbrellas. There are Asian matcha houses, pouring the fresh and forest-green green tea, and Latin American spots making cafe de olla and Tijuana tonics."
The Bay Area is experiencing a surge in specialty cafes offering diverse global beverages and tea traditions. New establishments range from Asian matcha houses serving fresh green tea to Latin American spots preparing traditional cafe de olla and Tijuana tonics. The region now features Yemeni coffee shops, high tea venues inspired by Bridgerton, and Korean pour-over cafes that combine beverages with flower sales. Molly Tea, a rapidly expanding Chinese teahouse chain specializing in floral and fruit teas, has opened multiple Bay Area locations since October 2024, including San Mateo, Cupertino, and Palo Alto, with additional locations planned. The chain, which launched in 2021 in Shenzhen, has grown to over 2,000 worldwide locations.
