The former home of Ikoi Cha has transitioned to the popular Japanese doughnut chain Truffle Donut. The shop specializes in “raw doughnuts,” a sweet treat that is made with a high-hydration brioche dough that results in an extremely soft and airy texture, which is then typically filled with whipped cream and custard. What makes this store even more special is that it infuses its treats with truffles and uses a signature pumpkin-infused dough.

Nana’s Green Tea — Downtown Vancouver

The 25-year-old matcha brand hailing from Japan is expanding in the city with the opening of its new location in downtown Vancouver.

The spot is best known for its matcha offerings alongside a selection of tea-themed desserts. Think matcha soft serve, matcha tiramisu, matcha burnt basque cheesecake, and more!

“We have perfected the art of blending tea over many years to make our original Matcha green tea. A flair for blending, techniques that date back to the Edo period, and time and effort are the key to success,” shared the tea shop on its website.

Part corner store and part sandwich shop, Ultramarinos Pepe has recently opened in South Cambie with a concept that can be described with just one sentence: “Eat what you can buy, buy what you can eat.”

Ultramarinos Pepe operates as a small bocadillo shop, serving sandwiches made with the ingredients that you can find on the shelves, from olive oil to chorizo, jamón, cured cheeses, and bread. That means you can enjoy a sandwich here, and then buy the exact same ingredients to make it again at home.

As for other grocery items available, you’ll find a selection of pantry staples alongside the aforementioned sandwich items.

“These are everyday products in Spain, brought here in a way that feels simple, familiar, and easy to explore. It is Spain next door in the most literal way,” added the store on its website.

Address: 698 W. 16th Ave., Vancouver

M Chá Bar is best known for its selection of boba tea in varieties like its Taro Coconut Milkshake and Mango Pomelo Taro Ball. On its website, it said that its fruit teas are made with fresh fruit with no artificial flavours or additives, and its dairy drinks are made with local organic milk. It also offers a selection of desserts like gelato and bubble waffles.

While not necessarily a new place in Vancouver to eat and drink by any means, this award-winning steakhouse recently reopened after a fire forced it to close. The restaurant reopened on May 30 with a new Supper Club feature, offering a selection of its signature tartares and raw bar, alongside its steaks, seafood, and seasonal favourites.

“Elisa Supper Club offers the exceptional dining experience you know and love, thoughtfully reimagined for this moment,” wrote the restaurant on Instagram.
