Matcha pop‑ups in Manila
Manila's matcha obsession has a home, and this year it travels. Matcha Social is a tour: six stops where the city's best matcha makers pour whisk-fresh, alongside curated lifestyle brands, all free to walk in.
- Season
- Jul to Dec 2026
- Venue
- 4 venues in Metro Manila
- Entry
- Free, walk in
The tour runs six stops from September to December: Forbes Town in BGC (Sept 18 to 20), The Corner House in San Juan (Oct 17 to 18), The Corner House again (Nov 7 to 8), Bigger Pictures in Mandaluyong (Nov 28 to 29), back to Forbes Town (Dec 4 to 6), and the finale, a full week at Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas (Dec 7 to 13). Expect ceremonial pours, dessert collabs, and a rotated floor of makers at every stop.
It started at The Corner House in San Juan, where the first two matcha weekends ran, and now it packs up and moves. Free entry, every stop, all weekend: come taste, shop, and find your next everyday matcha.
People search for it as a matcha fest or a matcha festival, and over a full weekend on a full floor that is fair enough. Between the four venues the tour reaches BGC and Taguig, San Juan and Greenhills, Greenfield District in Mandaluyong, and Ortigas Center, which puts a stop within reach of Makati, Pasig and most of Quezon City.
Matcha Social: Corner House
A second Corner House weekend in the same run: matcha brands, food concepts, lifestyle makers and creators, plus a Beauty Lane of beauty, wellness, fashion and accessory brands along the jogging path.
The questions
we get most.
Where can I find matcha pop-ups in Manila?
The Matcha Social tour brings matcha weekends to four Metro Manila venues in 2026: Forbes Town in BGC, The Corner House in San Juan, Bigger Pictures in Mandaluyong, and Robinsons Galleria in Ortigas. Each stop gathers Manila’s favourite matcha makers under one roof.
Is there matcha to taste and buy?
Yes, expect whisk-fresh and ceremonial pours, dessert collaborations, and matcha brands you can buy to take home, plus beauty and lifestyle vendors alongside.
Are the matcha pop-ups free?
Completely free to enter. No ticket, no RSVP. Just come by during event hours.
When is the next matcha pop-up in Manila?
The next stop is at the top of this page, pulled live from our 2026 calendar. The tour runs six stops between Sept 18 and Dec 13, and every one of them is free to attend.
Is Matcha Social a matcha festival?
People call it a matcha fest or matcha festival, and a whole floor of matcha brands across a full weekend earns the name. The difference from a festival is that there is no gate: entry is free at every stop, with no ticket and no RSVP.
Is there a matcha pop-up near me?
