This is not a drill: Pop Culture Dirty Soda (a.k.a. the team behind Metro Vancouver’s first dirty soda trailer) has opened the doors to its permanent storefront.
Located at 20108 Fraser Hwy. in Langley, which was the former home of Lemon Bakery, Pop Culture officially opened last Friday.
If you’ve never had the privilege of trying a dirty soda, the viral drink is a soda that is enhanced with syrups and creamers. At Pop Culture, the menu features a rotating selection of drinks inspired by pop culture moments. Think drinks like the Short and Sweet (Dr. Pepper with raspberry, whipped cheesecake, and graham crumble), Peaches (energy drink with white peach, guava, and vanilla cream), and Fruity Pebble (Coke with pineapple, mango, strawberry cold foam, and fruity cereal).
At this new location, Pop Culture has increased its dirty soda menu, featuring a larger energy drink selection, alongside more cafe-inspired offerings (lattes, matcha, etc.), snacks, food, and somewhere for people to “sit, yap, and chill.”

Dished spoke with Brooklynn and Mikayla back in 2025 when they first shared the news of Pop Culture.
The idea came after the sister duo, who are only a year apart, had spent time working together in cafes before they both pursued what they called “big girl jobs.” However, this left both of them feeling unfulfilled.
Then, after Brooklynn came back from a trip to Australia in September, the two sat down and realized how much they missed making drinks and working with each other.
Instead of going down the more typical cafe route, the sisters decided to do dirty sodas as a way to stand out from the competition.
“We saw [dirty sodas] on TikTok and started making them at home all the time,” said Brooklynn. “We grew up, like, in Langley, B.C., and we always went to A&W and had root beer floats, and we go to the States to get the cool pop flavours all the time.”
But Pop Culture isn’t just a way for the soda-loving sisters to start working together; they also saw a need for more non-alcoholic options in the area.
“We’re not big drinkers, and Langley is a little bit more limited with alcohol-free options, especially at festivals,” said Mikayla. “So we thought, why don’t we just make a little food truck and try to do some alcohol-free and fun dirty soda creations?”
