Good news for matcha lovers!
Remember Matcha Corner, the wildly popular matcha cafe that operated out of the Shun Fa Noodle House on Victoria Drive last summer?
Well, they just announced they’re coming back.
Christine, the daughter of Shun Fa’s owners who single-handedly ran the hit pop-up, shared the exciting news on the Matcha Corner Instagram & Tiktok page on April 18th.
Matcha Corner is setting up shop in its own space on Kingsway, taking over the unit formerly occupied by Dosa World Indian Restaurant.
Apparently, this has been in the works for a while.
Christine revealed she found the location five months ago and has been busy with renovations ever since, aiming to create “the perfect go-to matcha spot in Vancouver!”
If you missed the hype last year: Shun Fa Noodle House, known for its build-your-own bowls, became an unexpected matcha destination thanks to Christine’s pop-up.
Videos blew up on social media showing crowds lining up for drinks like strawberry, mango, and pistachio matcha lattes, enjoyed right alongside bowls of noodles.
That unique pop-up officially wrapped up last September, leaving fans hoping for a return.
Interestingly, the original host, Shun Fa Noodle House on Victoria Drive, is also currently closed for renovations.
There were even rumours earlier this year that they might be moving to this same Kingsway unit.
It’s still unclear if Shun Fa will be joining Matcha Corner at the new address or if Christine’s matcha haven will operate completely independently this time around.
We’ll be keeping an eye on that!
Either way, the return of those Instagram-famous matcha drinks in a brand-new space is definitely something to get excited about.
