Tea Leaf and Creamery is hosting its official grand opening on Friday, March 28. The new boba and ice cream shop is located at 4246 N. First Ave. #150, taking over the space formerly occupied by Tea Hub.
Though new to Tucson, Tea Leaf and Creamery first opened in other cities across the country, known for its creative drink and dessert combos with visually striking presentations. So, here in Tucson, local owner Lily Huang is excited to invite everyone in to try something new.
On the menu, you’ll find a mix of milk teas, fruit teas, and smoothies, along with toppings like cheese foam and grass jelly — a mild and slightly bitter dessert made from leaves of Chinese mesona.
What sets Tea Leaf and Creamery apart from other boba tea shops is its line of housemade milk teas and Thai teas that can be paired with soft serve or scoops of ice cream.
Tea Leaf and Creamery’s ice cream menu leans heavily into Asian-inspired flavors, offering a fun twist on traditional scoops. Creamy matcha, black sesame, Thai tea, and ube — a vibrant purple yam with a subtly sweet, nutty profile — are a few sweet examples.
The new shop will be open from noon – 10 p.m. on Sunday – Thursday, noon – 11 p.m. on Friday, and Saturday.
The concept is a great addition to the bustling boba scene here in Tucson, joining a community of at least 15 other shops.
