Share this story:

Bruú Café, a Kansas City-based shop specializing in bubble tea, has a new Leawood store in the works.

Where exactly: The café plans to open a new shop at Leawood’s Park Place shopping center.

  • The south Leawood shopping center at 115th and Ash operates as part of the city’s retail center, neighboring the Town Center Plaza across 117th Street.

 

What’s on the menu: Bruú Café offers a range of bubble teas, from original milk tea to fruity flavored teas like peach and lemon.

  • Other more non-traditional items at the café include flavored Italian sodas, Redbull Mojitos, cheese macchiatos and seasonal pumpkin teas.
  • Customers can choose from a variety of boba, or small tapioca balls, to add to their drink, including brown sugar, strawberry, mango and honeydew.

Bigger picture: This marks the first expansion into Johnson County for the bubble tea shop, which currently only has locations on the Missouri side of the Kansas City area.

  • Other Bruú Cafe locations include one at Kansas City’s Country Club Plaza and another in North Kansas City’s Iron District.

Beyond Bruú Cafe in Park Place

  • Bruú Café’s new shop will add to a growing list of businesses with Missouri origins to expand into Leawood.
  • This includes the Rockhill Grille and Mission Taco Joint, the latter of which also intends to open at Leawood’s Park Place.

What else: This also serves as the latest addition to the Park Place shopping center, which has seen a number of new openings and closings throughout this year.

  • Some of the other most recent additions include Maison de Marnie boutique and Upgrade Group Training fitness studio.
  • The shopping center also currently has two of its largest properties on the real estate market, including an apartment complex and three-story office building.
