A new building in St. Paul’s Macalester-Groveland neighborhood is turning into a trifecta of food and drink establishments.

Simplicitea is getting ready to open on Snelling Avenue near Stanford Avenue in the same building where two other restaurants — Monkey Temple Tandoori Grill & Alehouse and Hot Hands Pie & Biscuit — recently debuted.

Simplicitea will serve more than 20 varieties of bubble tea as well as coffee.

Look for a soft opening Saturday. A grand opening is planned with specials and giveaways, but a date for that has not been set.

Owner T. Bui said the soft opening around the holiday couldn’t be more appropriate. “I’m really thankful to have this opportunity.”
