A recently launched UK brand, Biju is a bubble tea room conceived as a launching pad for a quality focused take on the popular Korean milk or fruit-based drinks. Located in south London, the chic first location was designed by Gundry & Ducker, who collaborated with branding company Ico Design on the project.
The interior of Biju is characterized by the vibrant geometric shapes on the grey walls and a stoop on one side of the shop that serves as a more casual answer to traditional cafe or tea room seating.
Aimed at appealing to a discerning London audience, Biju tea room will offer a variety of traditional chewy toppings for the tea-based milk drink popular across South East Asia.
