Metro Vancouver cafe gets its own 'dream' Uniqlo collab
A cafe with several locations in Metro Vancouver is celebrating a dream come true with its own Uniqlo collab.
Little Pisces is a coffee shop with four locations: at UBC, Lougheed, Richmond, and in Vancouver on Columbia Street.
In a post on Instagram, Little Pisces revealed that it now has its own collab with the Japanese fashion brand.
The cafe’s Instagram post caption reads, “WE’RE AT UNIQLO!!!”
Little Pisces serves coffee drinks, matcha, soft serve (including pints), and Japanese Taiyaki. Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese waffle, typically fish-shaped. It’s a popular street food in Japan. Even though it’s shaped like a fish, it doesn’t actually contain any fish. Traditionally, Taiyaki is filled with red bean paste.
The Metro Vancouver cafe also serves soft serve with a Taiyaki cone.
In its post, the cafe wrote, “It was such a dream to see Little Pisces merchandised at my local Uniqlo store as one of their current UTme! local brand collabs.”
The cafe teased that more details about the collab will be shared soon.

We shared a little bit about the expansion Little Pisces has been undergoing earlier this year, when the UBC location was announced.
The shop is co-owned by Linda Dai and Jacky Tian, and their establishment has taken Metro Vancouver by storm. Its first location was the Burnaby spot.
Dai and Tian first met in high school and were friends, but drifted apart after graduating and living in different countries. Then they met up again and threw around the idea of opening a cafe, decided to quit their corporate jobs, and committed to opening Little Pisces.
