Bloom Tea is coming to Old Town — provided it can make it through the city’s review process next month.
Owner Thao Uyen Than previously told ALXnow the new shop will focus on boba tea and Vietnamese coffee, but the opening date is dependent on the city review process.
The tea shop has filed permits to fix up the broken windows and add new signage to 425 S. Washington Street. Bloom Tea was originally going to go to the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) in July, but was deferred. It’s back on the docket for the meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 20.
One of the changes is painting the unpainted brick at the front of the building — always a possible point of contention at the BAR.
