Rowseelee, a bubble tea shop in Putnam County at 600 Route 6 in Mahopac, will hold a grand opening celebration on Friday, May 17 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The eatery, which has been open since March, serves a variety of bubble, milk, and cold brew teas, as well as matcha and coffee. Those with a sweet tooth can also order desserts like beignets, flavored croissants, ice cream, and lemon bars.
According to the owners, the shop, which also has a location in Cold Spring, only uses organic teas and ingredients and packages them in sustainable bottles and caps to minimize environmental impact.
As for the name "Rowseelee," it comes from the phonetic representation of the name "Rosie Lee," a British slang term for a cup of tea, according to the business's website.
Since its opening, the shop has received praise from visitors in several positive Yelp reviews.
"Absolutely delicious drinks and pastries. Staff is accommodating and very friendly," wrote Heather K. of Mahopac in a five-star review.
Jackie S. of Baldwin Place also had good things to say: "For me personally, Rowseelee is great for an occasional sweet drink for those looking to support a small local business or more sustainably sourced products."
