Kent Realty, the firm handling the property, confirmed the opening, stating that the teashop should be open by the early spring.

CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice’s menu traditionally consists of fruit teas such as passion fruit green tea and lemon black tea. It also includes milk teas, fresh teas, slushes and smoothies, according to the company website.

The menu also features chocolate milk teas and tea lattes, such as a black tea latte, Japanese matcha tea latte and winter melon juice latte.

The first CoCo shop opened in 1997 in Tamsui, Taiwan, according to the company website. The company now has 1,500 shops worldwide, including in China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and South Africa.

There are several shops in California and New York, with numerous locations in Queens, including in Elmhurst, Flushing and Bayside.

Met Council leader warns of ‘catastrophe’ for low-income families in Queens due to lack of pandemic-era federal food aid

Mar. 28, 2023 By Bill Parry

As an accomplished legislator, law professor and media personality with broad experience in government and not-for-profit organizations, Met Council CEO and executive director David Greenfield is well aware of the power of words. With Passover arriving on Wednesday, April 5, and with federal pandemic food assistance no longer available to low-income families in Queens, the leader of the nation’s largest Jewish charity organization warned of a coming “catastrophe” and called for the city to step up to provide $13 million in emergency funding for pantries to help New Yorkers facing food insecurity and elevated costs of living in the borough.

Pair of Queens community organizations will activate public spaces to celebrate local cultures

Two Queens community organizations are among an inaugural cohort of five groups citywide that will lead new projects to celebrate local cultures and histories in public spaces under a new initiative called The Local Center in a partnership between Urban Design Forum and the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development (ANHD).

At a time when New York is grappling with an uneven pandemic recovery and as displacement looms large for communities and neighborhoods across the five boroughs, this new endeavor will convene interdisciplinary teams to transform and activate the shared spaces where cultural traditions flourish — and importantly, center the community visions and leadership that is too often left out of the process.
