Dim Sum & Bubble Tea replaced Class 520 at 4941 Elm St in Bethesda earlier this year. Now the new restaurant’dessert spot is available to purchase for $150K, according to a business listing. According to the listing, the space was renovated in March 2023 (when the switch was made from Class 520 to Dim Sum & Bubble Tea) and the restaurant is “Located in Landmarks Bethesda MD, The Shoppes of Bethesda, facing cobblestoned, pedestrian Bethesda Lane in Bethesda Row.” The space is 852SF, with a lease that expires in April of 2025, and the reason for selling is listed as “Owner has other priorities for business.”
Class 520, which was previously in the space, opened in May of 2017 and served “Thai-inspired” ice cream that is made by pouring a milk-based liquid onto nearly freezing metal circle. The liquid is then spread out and rolled as it freezes into ice cream. The ice cream is served as rolls in a bowl/cup. The Rockville Class 520 location, which opened in October of 2016, was also recently made available for sale.
