Enjoy refreshing drinks at Tay’s Tea, the new boba shop in Birmingham.
Tay’s Tea, a new boba shop, has opened its doors in Birmingham’s Parkside District. Founded by Yanisa and James Odom, the shop offers a variety of Thai-inspired drinks including milk tea and fruity teas. With a grant from the Birmingham Open for Business initiative, the Odoms aim to create a vibrant community hub. The shop opens daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., inviting locals and visitors to enjoy refreshing beverages and delicious snacks in a welcoming atmosphere.
Birmingham is buzzing with excitement as it welcomes a brand new boba shop to the Parkside District! Tay’s Tea, a delightful grab-and-go establishment, has just opened its doors to the public, and it’s already creating quite a stir among local foodies and drink enthusiasts.
Tay’s Tea is the brainchild of the dynamic duo, Yanisa and James Odom, who have a passion for bringing lip-smacking Thai-inspired drinks to the heart of Birmingham. Located at 1701 1st Ave S Unit 105, this charming little spot is strategically positioned near Railroad Park, making it a perfect pit stop for visitors and locals alike.
Before setting up shop in Parkside, Tay’s Tea gained popularity at local brewery pop-ups and community markets such as Pepper Place. The Odoms’ engaging presence and delicious offerings captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many, paving the way for their exciting new venture. Their hard work and determination didn’t go unnoticed, as they received an impressive $34,615 grant from the Birmingham Open for Business initiative last year, helping them to make their dream a reality.
The Birmingham Open for Business initiative is a collaborative effort between the PNC Foundation and REV Birmingham, designed to provide local entrepreneurs with essential resources for building sustainable businesses and enhancing community vibrancy. It’s great to see initiatives like this in action, empowering residents to take their business aspirations to the next level.
During a soft opening phase, which is a great time for the Odoms to train their employees and fine-tune the menu, the excitement builds for what’s to come. Tay’s Tea promises an array of refreshing options that are sure to tantalize your taste buds. Think milk tea, butterfly pea lemonade, fruity teas, creamy smoothies, and a vast selection of boba that would impress even the most discerning boba connoisseur.
But that’s just the beginning! future menu expansions are in the pipeline, with mouthwatering additions like garden rolls and mango sticky rice on the horizon. Could it get any better? With the Odoms’ vision, it certainly seems like they are on the right track to making Tay’s Tea a go-to destination for everyone in the community.
You can grab your favorite boba from Tay’s Tea every day from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. The shop’s vibrant atmosphere is designed to cultivate a sense of community, inviting friends and families to come together over delicious drinks and share their stories. With the opening of Tay’s Tea, Parkside is truly becoming a hub for budding entrepreneurs and local businesses.
The Parkside district is seeing a wave of new small businesses in 2025, and Tay’s Tea is a fantastic addition to this exciting transformation. The Design Review Committee has even approved an updated Master Signage Plan for the shop, featuring a charming round, internally lit sign that will make it easily recognizable and inviting for passerby. It’s a sign of what’s to come and a bright future ahead for Birmingham’s entrepreneurial landscape.
So whether you’re a die-hard boba fan or simply looking for a refreshing treat, make sure to swing by Tay’s Tea and experience the flavors of Bangkok right here in Birmingham!
