Boba fans, cancel your plans this weekend. BOPOMOFO, a popular bubble tea brand from California, is making its international debut in Toronto this Saturday.

BOPOMOFO is a favourite among celebrities in the Asian community, frequented by the likes of Simu Liu, Squid Game’s Anupam Tripathi, Bling Empire’s Kevin Kreider, and Kane Lim.

One of the brand’s co-founders, Philip Wang, also has a production company and YouTube channel called Wong Fu Productions, with over 3.24 million subscribers.

BOPOMOFO’s original cafe is in San Gabriel, California, and for the first time, it will expand across the U.S. border with its first international pop-up.

The pop-up will be held at Superfresh, Toronto’s Asian night market, on the afternoon of Saturday, July 9, as part of the CCYAA Celebrity Classic.

You can expect to taste some of BOPOMOFO’s most-loved bubble tea, infused with high-quality ingredients and a big dose of nostalgia.

While you’re there, you can also eat and shop your way through the market, which is 4,000 square feet of delicious eats, drinks, and entertainment by Asian-led businesses.

Superfresh is located at the Annex Food Hall near Bloor St W and Spadina Ave and has whimsical details and neon lights that resemble the bustling Asian night market.

A large dining room, bodega, and full bar have been set up with room for 150 guests indoors and 50 guests on an outdoor patio, making it the perfect spot for a summer adventure.

Whether you’re a casual bubble tea drinker or a boba-holic, this pop-up is sure to satisfy!
