Paragon Tea Room is back—and this time, it’s underground (literally).
After having to say goodbye to their Cambie Village location this February due to redevelopment (because what else is new in Vancouver), Paragon just announced they’ve found a new temporary home right in the heart of downtown.
Starting April 3rd, they’ll be popping up inside CF Pacific Centre.
And while the new spot isn’t exactly easy to find, it will do!
Here’s how to track it down: From inside tha mall, head to Sephora or David’s Tea, then take the escalator down towards this narrow hallway.
Then, just a few steps along, you’ll spot Paragon’s new pop up spot!
Or if you’ve been to Nami or 404’s pop up before, it’s at the same location.
Now for the good stuff.
The new PC Pop-Up will feature a curated drink menu spotlighting their signature stone-milled tea powders—yes, that includes matcha, hojicha, and the works.
Their bubble waffles are also making the move, and there will be some new treats to the mix!
Paragon hinted to Noms Magazine that they’ll be bringing their ice cream float menu, which was only available at their YVR Airport pop up.
But that will likely make its entrance near the end of April.
Their Richmond location (which opened last fall) has been keeping tea fans fueled with their Hojicha Oat Mistos and mochi muffins from Buttercrumbs.
But the downtown crowd has definitely been feeling the void… until now.
This new downtown pop-up gives the Paragon crew a 6-month runway to keep serving their signature blends while they continue hunting for a permanent space in Vancouver.
So if you’re craving one of their tea lattes or just want an excuse to wander a shopping mall and reward yourself, this is your moment.
Catch them at Pacific Centre: Mon–Sat: 10AM–7PM and Sun: 10AM–6PM
