Boba Society Milk Tea & Snack Bar Expands to Memphis with Second Location

A Lakeland-based bubble tea shop is expanding to Memphis .

Boba Society Milk Tea & Snack Bar recently revealed plans to open a second location at 17 S Highland St in the former site of Tenn Tea, another boba tea shop. Last month, Tenn Tea announced a temporary closure for renovations, but now it appears that the eatery will not be renewing its lease.

Since its establishment in July 2022, Boba Society has cultivated a loyal local following. The shop offers a diverse selection of handcrafted beverages including milk teas, signature ice blends and slushies, and slow-drip Vietnamese-style coffee. Complementing these drinks are a variety of light bites such as Korean corn dogs, Hong Kong-style bubble waffles, and Taiwanese popcorn chicken.

The anticipated opening for the new Memphis location is tentatively scheduled for the second week of June, pending any unforeseen delays. For the latest updates, be sure to follow Boba Society Milk Tea & Snack Bar on Facebook and Instagram .
