About Loana:
Loana had a dream…
Of creating a place where friends could meet and hang out in an atmosphere that would put smiles on everyone’s face.
Out of this, TeaCupFuls was born and her dream became a reality with the first store opening February 2018 in the Brookswood Plaza, in Bend Oregon.
It was such a success that she decided to spread the joy even further, and opened another store in Downtown Bend in November of 2018.
Growing up in a heavily Vietnamese-influenced home, she always knew that boba was something special, and therefore wanted to bring that culture to Bend through TeaCupFuls, who offers truly authentic, artisanal boba through specialty drinks!

During the pandemic, many people wanted to support small businesses that weren’t big “chain” businesses. This bothered many because franchises are all locally owned and operated.
