Brooklyn Dumpling Shop

We were pretty excited to learn Brooklyn Dumpling Shop was opening not one, but two locations in Calgary. It’s a dumpling shop born of the idea that classic dinner staples and sandwiches are more fun in dumpling form. Who are we to disagree? What started in the U.S. has infiltrated Canada promising 100 locations across the country. All locations use a modern version of the automat concept first introduced in the 1950s. This smartphone-powered, format requires just three employees in any location as customers order dumplings through their phones, then collect them from hot or cold lockers in the shop – sort of like a vending machine. The menu boasts unique flavour combinations like bacon cheeseburger, lamb gyro and Philly cheesesteak.
