"I'm told it's very close to opening in the Lower Garden District at 2131 Magazine Street in a former retail space being transformed into the bright, open counter-service layout the chain is known for. As the city's first dedicated bubble tea shop, Feng Cha brings a dessert- and drink-focused menu including cheese milk tea and milk foam toppers, boba staples like dirty boba, a selection of brewed teas featuring oolong blends, a caffeine- and lactose-free “breeze” series, and fruit tea creations upgraded with kiwi basil, jasmine apple, and dragonfruit. The shop is part of a global chain that has opened more than 1,000 locations since 2016 and is ubiquitous on social media for its tiny foam cakes and colorful bubble tea; those airy, not-too-sweet milk foam cakes sit on spongey bases and come in flavors like sea salt and brown sugar boba, strawberry, matcha, tiramisu, and taro chocolate." - Clair Lorell
