We last checked in on 44-68 21st Street in October when Mix Nail Salon had closed at that location.1
The retail space has found a new suitor, with signage now up for Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea, as seen in the photo below. Permits were filed with the Department of Buildings back in November and were approved in March calling for “INTERIOR ALTERATION/RENOVATION FOR TEA SHOP ON 1ST FLOOR IN AN EXISTING 2-STORY MIX USE BUILDING.”2
Yi Fang currently has a location at 135-15 40 Road in Flushing, Queens. Here’s more about them from their website:
YI-FANG Fresh Fruit Tea inherits grandmother’s nickname and know-how methods using seasonal prolific fruits, never adding any chemical concentrated juice, so every drink is full of fresh fruit taste. All of the ingredients are from Taiwan, adhering to MIT’s identity, made in Taiwan; and also showing ancient classic reproduction.
