About this Event

Making friends as an adult can be hard. We're making it a little easier.

Join The Connection Strategist™ for Matcha & Matches, a daytime friendship speed dating experience designed to help you meet new people, make genuine connections, and maybe leave with a few new friends.

We'll kick things off with a fun interactive icebreaker to get everyone talking before moving into rounds of friendship speed dating. You'll have a few minutes with each person to chat, laugh, find common ground, and see who you naturally connect with.

Once the rounds are over, stick around to mingle, reconnect with your favorite new people, and check out our permanent jewelry pop-up.

Your ticket includes:

☕ Your choice of a matcha, latte, or refresher from our curated menu
🥐 Assorted pastries made fresh
💚 Facilitated friendship speed dating
✨ Interactive icebreaker experience
🫶 Time to mix, mingle, and keep the conversations going
🔗 Access to our permanent jewelry pop-up (jewelry available for purchase separately)

Whether you're new to the area, looking to expand your circle, or simply ready to meet some new people, come as you are. No awkward networking. No pressure to impress. Just good conversation, good energy, and an opportunity to make some new connections.

Space is intentionally limited to 22 guests to keep the experience intimate and give everyone a chance to truly connect.

Early bird pricing: Tickets are $45 per person through October 14. After that, the price goes up to $55, so grab your spot early!

Come for the matcha. Stay for the matches.
