Bambu, at 4220B Annandale Road next to Kogiya Korean BBQ, will have grand opening on June 2 and a soft opening on May 16.
Bambu promises to be a good place “to relax with family and friends and enjoy something refreshing,” says owner Thao Ny Nguyen. It will be open daily 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
Also on the menu: strong Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk, milk tea, fruit smoothies, mochi ice cream, pandan waffles, and frozen yogurt. Shaved ice will be added soon.
The first Bambu Desserts & Drinks outlet was founded in San Jose, Calif., in 2008 by four Vietnamese sisters. Since then it’s evolved into a franchise company with more than 50 locations in 14 states.
Awesome! Sounds (and looks) like a nice place to hang out and try something a little different!
