Changes at 58 Old Colony Ave

TL;DR:

We are so grateful to our community for all your support as we have pivoted over these last few years! For the next couple months, we’re limiting our cafe kitchen service for dine-in and takeout.

But don’t worry! We’ll still have so many ways for you to join us and chow down on all the dumplings and Double Awesomes. On National Dumpling Day, we’ll host another Bottomless Dumplings all-you-can-eat buffet, and in late October when the farmer’ market season winds down, we’ll start a Saturday pop-up series featuring Double Awesomes, dumplings, and other special guests! See our Factory Events Calendar for details.

The Mei Mei Dumplings Factory Store and Classroom will continue to sell all kinds of treats in our retail section Wednesday through Sunday, including our own frozen and heat-and-eat dumplings, Double Awesome kits, adorable dumpling-themed products from independent makers all over the country, and some of our favorite local foodstuffs by companies we admire, plus tons of sauces and Kewpie mayo, of course!

This break allows us to continue to focus on growing our cooking class operations, R&Ding new products (like gluten-friendly dumplings 😮), and using our space for events. We’ll reopen for 5 days of cafe service per week in December 2024. Thanks for bearing with us as we figure out the most sustainable and scalable ways to provide community space, make dumpling magic, and care well for the people who matter most to us. And if you want to get married at the dumpling factory, we will make it happen.

We know that many of you will miss the old days, when Double Awesomes were just a short walk away, whether that means 2022 or 2012. We miss those days as well, but we’re proud of this next chapter and hope to make you proud, too.

Thank you for being so gracious. We love you!
