Mixue, a popular Chinese boba chain with more global locations than McDonald's, has recently expanded to the US with stores in Los Angeles and New York City. With plans for further expansion across California and New York, the chain aims to provide high-quality and affordable drinks to local consumers. Mixue is known for its wide-ranging menu that includes boba, soft serve, and fruity beverages.

While Mixue does not currently offer a dairy-free version of its signature soft serve, plant-based customers can still enjoy vegan-friendly fruit teas at the chain. Mixue's fruit-forward options, such as Kiwi Jasmine Tea and Lemon Black Tea, are popular choices. In Los Angeles, a major boba hub with a growing boba-loving consumer base, there are other boba shops like Boba Zzing and Ume Tea that offer quality dairy-free options for vegan customers. While Mixue's dairy-based drinks cannot be ordered vegan at the moment, the chain's expansion to the US market signals a new opportunity for plant-based options in the boba industry.
