Explore The First-Ever Hello Kitty Grand Café In California

Sanrio was founded all the way back in 1962 and then a few years later, it introduced Hello Kitty to the world. Now the Japanese company has recently opened its first-ever Hello Kitty Grand Cafe in Irving, California.

The cafe features “dual experiential spaces,” according to a press release. So if you’re Hello Kitty fan, then this is the perfect place for you.

The Hello Kitty cafe offers kid-friendly menus as well as for adults.

The press release stated:

The Bow Room at Hello Kitty Grand Cafe [is] a hidden reservations-only pink oasis with modern, sleek Hello Kitty-branded fixtures and a refined finish throughout, pouring afternoon tea by day, and cocktail service by night.

The Afternoon Tea Service is priced at $55 per person. It is available for reservations from Wednesdays through Sundays. The tea includes a variety of fresh fruits, sandwiches, and desserts.

If you’re over 21, you can head to The Bow Room at Hello Kitty Grand Cafe after 5 p.m. to grab a couple of irresistible drinks. The names alone, such as “You Had Me At Hello,” “Dear Daniel,” and “1974” (a reference to the year that Hello Kitty made her debut in the U.S.) will make you want to run and get in the line now.

Basically, it’s the ideal spot for Hello Kitty fans both young and old, and a cute way to make your coffee run feel extra special.

The white walls in the cafe have kawaii Hello Kitty icons and one-of-kind artwork created specifically for this location.

To say that the Hello Kitty Grand Café is Instagram bait is a massive understatement — the place is primed for IG, with its themed décor and all that pink.

The Hello Kitty Grand Cafe opens from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
