Andora’s closes bubble tea shop, but fans can still get their drinks at special location

Andora’s Bubble Tea Shop , 516 State St., is closed at least for the fall and early winter for the first time in its five-year history at the spot.

“We want to take some time to evaluate the business,” said Rora Steinmetz, who co-owns the shop with her husband, Andy Steinmetz. “We’ve grown organically and we’re evaluating things we like and what we don’t like and what we want from Andora’s moving forward.”

They’re considering another brick-and-mortar shop, a food truck and pop-up events.

Bubble tea lovers should not despair for now, because you can still find Andora’s sweet treats in a food hut inside the Erie Zoo during ZooBoo hours through Oct. 30.

“We’re weighing our options and seeing what we want to do,” Rora Steinmetz said. “We’ll be downtown for fall events like Fall Fest (Oct. 27).”

She said fans should watch their Facebook page for more upcoming events. They’re also keeping their website, andorasbubble.com, up for merchandise and snacks for free local delivery and shipping.
