Hello Kitty® and Friends Cafe

𝐈 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐈𝐓 <𝟑 I went there for my birthday. It was such an amazing experience! Even though it was very pricey, It was still a good place to be at! Now I’ve noticed other people said the desserts weren’t really good and the drinks were too sugary.. but I got the pompompurin dome cake and it was really good! So whatever they did, they must’ve started to get improvements! and as a Sanrio girliee fan, I love it so much. Now one thing that needs improvement is the prices, The price shouldn’t be too expensive for drinks and a dessert.. The drinks should be at least $5 - $7 and I recommend the desserts being $5 - $10 depends on the quality and how big are the desserts.. but other than that I will definitely go there again!! (≧◡≦)

Visited for the first time with my daughter, the only good thing here was the service! I ordered the Chococat Chocolate Blended beverage, it has no coffee, just like a chocolate frappe! $10, I also ordered the Chocolate Hello Kitty Mini Cake $13, the cake was nasty and dry! Honestly tasted like a chocolate little debbie pastry, but little Debbie is better. You would think for the price it would of been of quality, a Starbucks pastry would have been waaaaay better. Literally Photo Op worthy, I didn't take pictures like that, I just wanted to make my daughter happy, so we tried what we tried. Definitely not worth the prices, at least spend it on actual merch!

Visited Universal Studios CityWalk recently and I knew I had to try an item from the Hello Kitty Cafe! The staff is super friendly and helpful and I went on a Sunday afternoon and didn't encounter many crowds. I ordered the Pompompurin Mousse Cake, which was vanilla and caramel flavored! I thought the portion size was perfect for the price because the dessert was expertly crafted, very tasty, and super cute! Definitely loved the experience at Hello Kitty Cafe and I can't wait to come back and experience more!

OMG I love this!!!!!! I only had the Hello Kitty Strawberry Green Iced Tea, but my dad got a hot chocolate! I heard the prices were high, but both the iced tea and hot chocolate were $15 together, which is lower than one drink in my hometown!!!!!! I also love the Sanrio Smile Shop right next to it, but the prices on the merch in there were pretty high, if you go there I recommend the hello kitty iced tea (it costs less then most boba drinks *at least at my hometown* and is way more fancy with sugar rims and mint leaves! And to get a engraved bracelet at the shop connected to it) Btw this is Christy’s son, not her, okay!

Disappointed. It's hype - at the finest. For review context I have also been to the location in Irvine. I ended up trying this location because I was thirsty and nothing else was open yet at Universal City Plaza. Let's jump right into this review. Hello Kitty Cafe is an abundance of cuteness. Adorable. Festive. And IG worthy pics. What did we have - 1. Tuxedosam Lemonade $8 + tax - Blue Raspberry Lemonade with pink sugar rim and lemon pinwheel 2. My Melody Lemonade $8 + tax - Strawberry Lemonade with yellow sugar rim and lemon pinwheel Pros 1. Cute pics. Food is asethically pleasing to look at. Cons 1. Prices are high. Period. It's the name and location. $8 for a drink is unbelievable. 2. The drinks are extremely sweet. To sweet for me and my son. We immediately noted the sweetness in both drinks. This could be a personal palette thing BUT the sugar level in the drinks is high making them impossible to consume. I don't see myself returning to this location due to cost and sweetness level in the drinks. After attempting to drink our lemonades - it just wasn't doable. The sugar level made me more thirsty #bummer. If you are looking for those picturesque moments, this is your spot. Abundance of cuteness just not edible. You decide if the picture/post is worth the $$.

I brought my neice here cause she loves Hello Kitty and wanted to experience this cafe. She order a tuxedo Sam Lemonade and I got Hot Chocolate on this rainy day.

The food here is really just ok. We all had mixed feelings on a lot of the things we tried. I thought the winner by far was the ube chocolate mousse cake. My kids preferred the cinnamon mousse cake. No one cared for the strawberry cake. No one is in a hurry to go back again, if ever. It sure is cute to look at, though, and it was fun to try.

Cute cafe! I have been to the one at Irvine Spectrum in Orange County as well - and I've walked past the pop-up in Vegas. They are all pretty similar; cute decor and same menu. The day I went there the fire alarm went off and they could not take any orders before the alarm was done (naturally). I was the last to put in my order, and fortunately got my drink before they had to close down temporarily. I had a lemonade which was served in a cute Hello Kitty themed cup with strawberries and a candy rim. It is a bit pricey (but not compared to the drinks inside the park, so at that time everything felt "cheap"). Good drink, but not spectacular!
