It's a nice place when they have the meet and greets. The food and drinks can be better but I don't go for that. Fun to meet the characters and I love to take my daughter. They are organized and in a nice place.

Super cute cafe and a must if you're a Sanrio/Hello Kitty fan! We only ordered at the counter and we did not visit the Tea room. I had a iced strawberry pink latte which was good (but a bit too sweet for my liking, but I usually have unsweetened coffees) and served in a themed cup and with a cute Hello Kitty bow coffee art. We also had the donuts with cookie crumbles. They were made fresh and really good! There was a bit of a wait time to order and get our order. They have a few tables outside, but it was quite busy - and we were lucky to grab one. It's a cute concept and it is fun to try it out, but the seating options could have been better cause you want to enjoy the food and not just have it on the go!

I would recommend coming here if you're a hello kitty fan. I paid $75 for the afternoon tea time. Everything was nice and clean. The staff was nice and understanding. It's a fixed menu for 2 people minimum, $60 each, desserts were a bit too sweet, reservation recommended but not required. When my friends & I went, we didn't have a reservation, but the employee told us that she might be able to squeeze us in if one of the other reservations didn't show up & we got lucky.

I brought my 2 daughters here and they had so much fun. They are a fan of Sanrio characters, mostly hello kitty. I'm so happy watching them giggles to every hello kitty ornaments and products inside the store. Great staffs. They like the pastries too.

My daughter’s playdate cancelled last minute so there was an opening for Dad. My daughter loved it. It checked all of her boxes and the food and tea were very good. As for myself, I had my fill of iced peach green tea and scones and butter - my personal favorite. Everything was beautifully presented, the details were cute and the service was attentive. We took the leftovers straight to enjoy at the beach.

I visited the Hello Kitty Grand Cafe on July 19th to celebrate my birthday, and it was truly a wonderful experience. We made a reservation for a party of seven in the Bow Room, and everything was perfectly arranged for us. The staff made the occasion feel extra special, and the cute Hello Kitty–themed atmosphere added so much joy to our celebration.

Cute little Hello Kitty Cafe! I got a cake a café mocha so only reviewing on the cake which was delicious! There actually is no seating inside so went to set outside seating! I could not go into the tea room because it only opens on Wed to Sun! Overall, if you are into Hello Kitty, you might want to stop by and check it out!
