Popular fruit tea shop Macu Tea has made the unfortunate announcement that it has closed two of its four locations in Metro Vancouver, joining the growing list of restaurant closures in and around the city.
“After careful consideration, we will be closing our Burnaby and Robson location starting February 23, 2026,” the bubble tea shop shared on Instagram.
The fruit tea destination was first founded in 2008 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, and has since expanded to multiple locations across Canada and the United States.
Macu’s claim to fame is its use of fresh fruit teas made with seasonal fruits and high-quality tea leaves. It’s best known for its mango offerings, including a drink called the King of Mango Smoothie, which is a mango slush with fruit chunks, green tea jelly, and coconut milk.
“With deep appreciation for our community’s support, we look forward to what the future may bring,” added the store online.
Those still looking to get their Macu Tea fix can visit its Richmond (1316-8368 Capstan Wy., Richmond) and Kerrisdale (5971 West Blvd., Vancouver) locations.
Many took to the comments to share their surprise at the sudden closure announcement.
“There’s literally always a lineup. Every day, all day!!! Owner doesn’t like money,” said one Instagram user.
“Wow, I was just there recently! What’s going on?” asked another.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” shared a third.
