The drinks and desserts are beautifully presented with charming Hello Kitty touches that make them almost too cute to eat. Everything we tried was fresh, delicious, and perfect for a quick sweet break while shopping at Valley Fair. The staff was friendly and efficient, and despite how popular it is, the service moved quickly. If you're looking for a fun photo opportunity, a cute gift, or simply want to enjoy themed drinks and treats, Hello Kitty Cafe is definitely worth a visit. I'll be back for more!

This review is for their afternoon tea…read more For their afternoon tea service, the vibe is super cute and on theme with Hello Kitty. Then again, vibe is probably 99% of the reason people would come here for afternoon tea, haha. The cups, sugar cubes, utensils are all HK based which is a cute touch. Afternoon tea takes place is a private room, which is also a nice escape from the busy mall. In terms of food, it is a miss for me. Everything was way too sweet and the taste was not very good. The quantity of food is actually pretty big (I'd skip lunch if you're interested) and we ended up taking a lot of it home. There was one strawberry tart that was pretty delicious, but that is about it. In terms of service, I'd describe it was poor. The cashier was not super friendly directing us to the check in spot and orders would take awhile. To the point where we had to ask multiple times for the same thing despite only a small number of customers being there at the time. I also tried asking some questions on their online portal but received no response. The experience was cute and all, but considering the price, the service, and the food, I would not recommend it.

My coworkers recommended this place and I'm so glad she did! I was able to take my six year old…read moreeven though online the minimum age is 9. Luckily, the worker called his manager and got approval for my son to go in. You can't pick the cats up sadly but if you sit down one will Forsure make its way into your lap. The room was very clean and well kept. We enjoyed being here while sipping on hot cocoa and playing w the cats

Came here for the Neko Oji-san collaboration, as that's how I learned about the cafe (I love the…read morecomedy short form manga online, check it out!). Parking nearby is horrendous, super busy even on the weekdays before the rush hour so I can't imagine weekends when people are out or other high traffic times. Get ready to make some rounds and pay for parking and be careful since there's very specific signage and times. The cafe itself is cute and cozy. Front area is a gift shop with lots of cat themed gifts and goodies like keychains, stickers, and such, and also some items from local and small artists too, which is neat. The cafe also has community events like movie showings ("The Cat Returns" was one of them which is a great choice) and cat yoga. If you're local, you can also get a time stamp if you are a frequent visitor. Definitely follow their socials for more information. There's reservations online and you can also do walk ins if it's not super busy. You can book for a 55 minute visit or a 30 minute visit. PRO-TIP: There's a discount for students, so if you want to be surrounded by some feline friends while you study or relax, great place to do so. You can hang your coat on the rack and there's a mini shelf area for your shoes. So you gotta walk in with socks! With each visit you can either get a hot cup of tea or a cold can or box drink from their fridge (sparking water, juices, etc.). Very refreshing and you can enjoy it in the cat area too. Sanitize your hands before and after visiting. There's lots of cats hiding around, sleeping, walking around, and some are super friendly and will go into your lap. There's toys you can play with the cats with and there's a wall of adoptable cats. Lots of seats or you can opt to sit on the floor with the cats too. There's relaxing lo-fi music throughout too. Pretty cool that they rescued 2 cats from Qatar and neat that we got to see them. As with all cats, some can be a bit spicy but it's usually just a warning teeth rub. I own cats so there's nothing new. I'm horribly allergic to the cat that specifically lives in my house, but I didn't get an allergy here, meaning that the cats are clean and well taken for. My favorite was a large sleepy orange boy, Ron (permanent non-adoptable resident) that was hanging out next to me the entire time.

It was very peaceful and relaxing, hardly anyone was there so we got to spend personal time with the cats. We tried the tiramisu latte which was very delicious and I would definitely get it again. The staff were also very friendly and helped go over safety procedures to keep the environment clean and safe for the cats. Our hour went by fast with the kitties, but it was a great experience.

With such a large spicy pot, the Dubai Milk Cake was the perfect pairing. I was grateful for an outlet next to some tables so I could work. The ambiance was both relaxing and decorative.

Located on New Montgomery between Natoma and Howard.

The parfait I got was incredible- the fruit was fresh, the yogurt was smooth and creamy, and the portion was great! The coffee was delicious as well- bold and yummy! The location is great as well, located on the outskirts of Chinatown- it's a vibrant location for a chill coffee spot.

This place has possibly my favorite matcha desserts I've ever tried. I've yet to see such amazing…read morematcha desserts in SoCal (where there's plenty of soft serves, einspanners, etc) Dropped by here after having lunch and this place was busy! But I have to praise that they do work fast and service is great. Indoor seating will be a tiny wait but is worth because the inside is so lovely, more like a Japanese tea room rather than some cafes that lean towards the clean modern usually all white interior look. We got seated at this cute little tea area almost felt like a sushi bar vibe. I was impressed that I could see that they had different water kettles labeled with appropriate temperatures for brewing their matcha. So I ordered for my date and me: matcha latte, matcha pie, and the cookie trio. Matcha latte was good! Nothing too crazy but still really good, I'm more of a hojicha person nowadays but solid drink and beautiful textured milk. The PIE! This is their best dessert and for good reason. Citrusy, but not terribly sweet, rich yet still has the subtle matcha flavor. I could see potential for a fall forward hojicha version of their pie one day. $10 for a slice but worth to share Cookie trio was a good pick too. My favorite was probably the Kinako oatmeal raisin cookie and I think would pair well with any warm drink. Matcha white chocolate cookie was not too bad, I think it benefited a lot from the bit of sea salt on top. The Hojicha chocolate walnut cookie was my second favorite! I don't see many hojicha desserts happening yet in matcha cafes so this cookie was a delight to have and honestly I've gotta try making my own. So warm but not too dominated by the chocolate. I wanna come back because they've got a matcha chestnut cake I wanna try next, just stellar for the desserts

Visited 8/21/26 -…read moreMatchazuke 19 This is perfect for a cold winter day! The broth was clean and refined coupled with the seaweed and crunchy rice bits! The fish was cooked to perfection and didn't smell fishy if you know what I mean. Must have been an attribute of how fresh and clean the fish was since it was buttery and rich! - Pork Katsu Sando 19.5 Solid choice if you are a more reserved eater. The sando was prepared to perfection and would accommodate even the pickiest eaters. The pork was crispy and the sauce was delicious. - Japanese Gozen 24 Originally placed my order and saw this on the menu so I had to try it. The miso soup with edmame rice was delicious. Key call outs were unagi egg, salmon sashimi + roe, and the pickled cucumber. The egg plant was delicious considering I don't typically like that, here it was flavorful and packs a punch. - Rose Matcha Latte 6.75 You could tell the matcha was ceremonial grade and prepared with care. If your usual is a rose milk tea, you have to try this! I loved the rose garnish on top for extra pizazz! - Strawberry Latte + Hojicha 7.50 The hojicha was smooth and complimented the strawberry at the bottom. The strawberry syrup at the bottom was clearly prepared fresh and was strained beautifully, no bizarre lumps of strawberry randomly that you get from other places. The bathroom was decently clean. The flow is you order at the kiosk get a number and find a seat where the food will be sent to your table. If you are on work lunch, you can order ahead and they have a take out window! Overall the food AND drinks are 5 stars.
