Faces of Bubble T ea Adam and Mary Flinchum
Adam and Mary Flinchum are the owners of Cof- fee Fusion Bubble Tea Café and Boba & Beanz, and they know their boba. Specializing in bubble tea, a Taiwanese specialty tea that incorporates tapioca pearls called “boba,” both businesses have been a huge hit on the Coast. With a Co ee Fusion location in Ocean Springs, two on Keesler Air Force Base, and Boba & Beanz located in the Edgewa- ter Mall food court, you’re never far from your next x.
The Flinchums are a family-oriented couple who love what they do. Adam and Mary have been married for eight years and have six daughters, seven grandchildren and “an extended family that you wouldn’t believe,” laughed Adam.
Their goal is to make a di erence in other people’s lives, whether it’s by serving them great food and drinks or giv- ing them a good place to hang out or work. In their spare time, they like to travel, hike, bicycle, paddleboard and kayak, and are preparing to become sailing certi ed.
