Molly Tea, a Chinese tea chain known for jasmine and floral drinks, has opened at 826 Haddonfield Road in Cherry Hill.
The shop occupies the former Kung Fu Tea space in the shopping center that includes Tous les Jours bakery, next to Sushi To Go. It is the chain's first location in South Jersey, according to MollyTeaMenu.com.
The store held a soft opening Oct. 13–15 with 12% off all drinks, followed by a grand opening Oct. 16–18, Eastside, Cherry Hill East's student newspaper, reported. During the grand opening, customers could get a free drink from the Floral Fruity Milk or Floral Fresh Milk Tea series with a qualifying purchase. The first 60 orders received a free anniversary tumbler.
Giveaways were reported to continue through Oct. 24, according to MollyTeaMenu.com. Those promotions have now passed.
Founded in Shenzhen, China, in 2021, Molly Tea now claims more than 2,000 stores worldwide, according to iLovetheUpperWestSide.com, which reported the chain grew from 785 locations in October 2024 to that figure by late 2025. The brand's name is a phonetic play on "Mò Lì," the Chinese word for jasmine flower.
The menu centers on jasmine-based teas blended with fresh milk, fruit or whipped cream. Categories include Floral Fresh Milk Tea, Floral Fruity Milk, Snowy Whipped Cream Teas, matcha drinks, flavored iced teas and tea-based smoothies. The chain's signature drink is the Premium Jasmine Milk Tea.
Rose Aynbinder, writing for Eastside, praised the jasmine milk tea for its lighter, floral character and called it a good starting point for first-time visitors. She also noted the matcha, writing that she "was impressed by the high bar set by their drinks, despite Molly Tea just opening."
Prices and store hours for the Cherry Hill location have not been officially published. The operator of the Cherry Hill franchise has not been publicly identified.
