While Gilmore Girls fans prepare for the arrival of reboot Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life to Netflix (and Netflix Canada) this November, the streaming service is bringing a part of Stars Hollow to life.
To commemorate the 16th anniversary of the series premiere — Gilmore Girls first premiered on Oct. 5, 2000 — Netflix Canada is opening four temporary Luke’s Diner locations to Toronto and one in Vancouver.
Fans can celebrate the show’s “Gilmoreversary” on Wednesday, Oct. 5 by grabbing a coffee at Luke’s Diner, the iconic eatery featured in Gilmore Girls. You’ll feel just like Lorelai and Rory.

The pop-ups will run all day on Oct. 5, with the free coffee giveaway from 7 a.m. – 12 p.m. There’s no word yet if a certain flannel-wearing owner will also be making an appearance — or denying anyone their coffee fix.
A list of the more than 200 participating businesses can be found here.
The revival of Gilmore Girls brings back the popular mother-daughter dramedy that aired from 2000 to 2007. Each of the four upcoming 90-minute chapters covers each of four seasons of the year.
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will debut on Netflix and Netflix Canada on Friday, Nov. 25.
