Macu Tea will be moving into the former Good Dogs location on Robson Street.

A popular bubble tea shop with hundreds of locations in Taiwan and a handful in North America is opening its first spot in Vancouver.

Macu Tea started in 2008; the brand opened its first North American store in Richmond almost exactly a year ago.

They now have two more locations about to be added to the map in Metro Vancouver, including one in downtown Vancouver.

The new shop is moving into 1331 Robson St., which was the home to Good Dogs, a local meat-free hot dog restaurant, until February.

Macu offers a variety of permanent and feature drinks, including strawberry tiramisu smoothies, chi-chi cacaos, and a variety of boba. They also have a branding relationship with Peanuts right now which means lots of Snoopy.

Macu Tea has also announced that a third location is opening up in Burnaby on Kingsway.
