NOW OPEN: Tea Shake Fusion

Open about a week is Tea Shake Fusion, a pastel boba hut perched on the corner of 11th and Snyder. Furnished with a granite slab counter, barstools, ATM and froyo-fave mosaic glass tile, the spot specializes in milk and bubble teas, smoothies, slushes, snows and all other manner of fanciful Asian beverage. Yesterday’s unseasonably warm weather lured me into the cheery, immaculately clean cafe for the avocado shake pictured; it was smooth and refreshing, not to mention decorated with an anime maternity-ward nurse.

There’s food, too, banh mi and the like, though according to the Philly Speaks message board, there's been some drama about licensing variances in regards to fried foods and "ghetto Chinese take-out." Very enlightening stuff. Tea Shake Fusion has a petition posted for neighbors inclined that want to show support. I signed. I like having cantaloupe smoothies, taro boba and fresh carrot juice a few blocks from my place.
