A dessert store serving up Japanese fish-shaped cakes with ice cream is opening in Richmond this weekend.
, known for its taiyaki (fish-shaped cake) and soft serve, is soft-opening its second outpost on Richmond's famous "food street" this Saturday (May 3) at noon.
Their first store opened in Burnaby last year.
Owners Linda Dai and Jacky Tian confirmed there will be Richmond-exclusive flavours like salted egg yolk and pork floss taiyakis, milk tea soft serve and grape jasmine tea to "keep things fresh" between their two locations.
Its menu will have its regular offers of Japanese fish-shaped cakes with fillings including red bean paste, Nutella, ube and custard, as well as soft serve ice cream with flavours like matcha, mango sorbet, yakult or a mix of the flavours.
The store also offers drinks such as hojicha (roasted green tea) latte, passionfruit green tea, matcha strawberry lattes and more.
Dai previously told the Richmond News that having a store in Richmond has always been on their radar with the city's "strong concentration of really amazing restaurants, dessert, and drink spots."
Little Pisces started their food venture running taiyaki pop-ups in the spring of 2024, including at craft markets in Vancouver.
"We feel very fortunate and lucky to be in the position to open up a second location, and we have to thank our community of customers and the Little Pisces team for helping us along on this journey," said Dai.
The first 100 customers at Little Pisces' Richmond location will get a $5 voucher for future orders of $20 or more.
Little Pisces's new location is at #128-8531 Alexandra Rd. and will be open Monday through Thursday and Sundays from noon to 11 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from noon to midnight.
