BingXue Tea & Ice Cream has officially opened its first United States store in downtown Davis. The new shop occupies the space previously held by Aggie Yogurt.
Why it matters
The arrival of BingXue represents an expansion into the U.S. market for a brand that began in Shandong, China, in 2014. The company currently maintains a footprint of over 4,500 stores globally.
The new Davis location operates daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and marks the company's first entry into the American market out of its 4,500 total global sites.
The players

Aggie Yogurt
This local business previously operated in downtown Davis for two years before closing its doors in August 2026.
The details
The menu at the new location features a variety of offerings including boba milk tea, fruit tea, matcha, avocado shakes, coffee, yogurt drinks, and soft serve ice cream. The storefront replaces Aggie Yogurt, which closed in August 2026 after operating in the downtown area for two years.

Market Landscape
The arrival of BingXue in Davis follows the broader industry trend of Chinese beverage brands seeking to capture market share in Western consumer regions. This move positions the brand against established local and international boba and dessert franchises currently competing for customers.
Local residents can now visit the new storefront at 425 2nd St. during daily operating hours to access the brand's expanded selection of fruit teas, shakes, and soft serve ice cream. This opening fills a vacant retail space downtown following the departure of the previous yogurt shop.
The takeaway
The opening of this storefront marks the first U.S. presence for the international brand. Customers looking for new dessert and tea options can visit the location daily between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m.
