The tea brand that pulled month-long lines on the other side of Richmond is crossing town.
Two Noms Magazine community members (blogoodies & rubyheart) spotted coming-soon signs for Molly Tea at CF Richmond Centre.
The signage sits in the mall’s new Park Road development, the expansion wing that is stacking up some BIG food names.
Marugame Udon, Big Way Hot Pot, Breka Bakery, Kokoro Tokyo Mazesoba, and Fresh St. Market are all slated for the same stretch.
Molly Tea’s arrival also joins the crowded bubble tea roster in Richmond Centre.
Chatime and CoCo already pour inside Richmond Centre, and Taiwanese brand Unique Green opened in the mall earlier this summer.
This will make Molly Tea the fourth bubble tea operation on the property.
That is a lot of tea under one roof (mall), and it says something that the mall keeps adding more.
Molly Tea has built a massive following across China with over 2000 stores globally, and it has already drawn huge lineups at its Toronto and Edmonton locations.
When they opened its first Richmond location in Diabetes Plaza, the line snaked around the plaza and the first month had big crowds out the door.
Molly Tea is all about Jasmine tea.
They use the best mountain tea leaves, scented with fresh flowers, to craft beverages that bring the beauty of Chinese tea culture into everyday life.
Although they regularly come out with new seasonal flavours, their original premium jasmine milk tea is our favourite at 70% sweetness.
For now, there is no official announcement about this Richmond Centre location, and no opening date is shared.
But when it does open…expect another line that will snake down the block.
Molly Tea at Richmond Centre joins other upcoming Richmond food spots like Mr. Noodle Chen, Pho Net Viet, and No.1 Beef Noodle.
