Matcha croissants. Boba sundaes. Asian flavors are everywhere. If a new bakery or tea shop hasn't hit your town already, here are six spots to get your fix.

CINCINNATI

CAFE MOCHIKO 

A bakery by day and restaurant by night, Cafe Mochiko puts a modern, playful twist on traditional flavors. (CincinnatiStyle Ramen with warm chili broth and a heap of shredded cheddar? Genius.)

Co-owner Elaine Uykimpang Bentz says, "We make items that are representative of my own upbringing as an Asian American." 

ORDER Ube Halaya Croissant, filled with purple yam jam

INDIANAPOLIS

HARMONY TEA SHOPPE

Step into bubble tea bliss (or rather, sip it through a straw) at Harmony Tea Shoppe's multiple metro Indy locations. Quality rules here. Teas are sweetened with a special-recipe cane sugar syrup; the boba (tapioca pearls) are cooked fresh every few hours; and you can add fruits such as avocado, pomelo, coconut, mango and watermelon. Each outpost has other offerings, too, such as ramen, poke bowls or mochi doughnuts.

ORDER Caramel Bubble Milk Black Tea with Dark Brown Sugar
