New businesses are popping up all across Visalia. From restaurants to small businesses, new opportunities are constantly coming to Tulare County, offering something for everyone to enjoy.

Here are just a few restaurants coming to town in the upcoming months:

RareTea

Visalia will soon have another option for boba tea and sweat treats.

Located off of West Shannon Parkway and North Dinuba Boulevard, RareTea offers customers baked goods, like Thai tea macaroons, as well as boba, milk tea and coffee.

Located near GameStop and Target, RareTea uses organic milk, locally sourced, fresh fruits, and real cane sugar in fruit jams and purees.

RareTea is on its way to north Visalia, offering customers drinks like caramelized brown sugar boba and kiwi fruit tea with aiyu jelly.
