Upstate bubble tea, ramen chain coming to suburban Syracuse shopping center

DeWitt, NY – A new shop selling bubble tea ramen, Poke and rice bowls, smoothies and more is coming to Marshall’s Plaza in DeWitt.

This is the second Syracuse-area location for Tai Chi Bubble Tea, which opened a small cafe at 919 E. Genesee St. in Syracuse about a year ago.

Tai Chi Bubble Tea is opening in the former Supercuts space, Benderson Development officials said. Benderson owns and operates the plaza.

Supercuts’ lease at the plaza expired, said Eric Recoon, vice president of development and leasing for Benderson.

Recoon said an opening date has not been set.

Tai Chi Bubble Tea is a Rochester-based chain formed in 2015. It now has 40 locations, including several in the Rochester area.
