A kawaii cafe dedicated to Hello Kitty has come to Chadstone. This pop-up cafe is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the beloved Sanrio character. On top of the delightful food and drink, there is also a selection of limited-edition merchandise, an installation and a school holidays program. The Hello Kitty Cafe is open daily from 10am to 9pm, and will stay in town until October 27.
Hello Kitty Cafe
You’ll find this sweet spot in The Social Quarter at Chadstone. Open to walk-ins only, this red and pink space will seat 30 guests.
Treat yourself to an assortment of strawberry sandos, themed bento boxes, strawberry cream cake, strawberry iced matcha latte, cookies, coffee and more. There will also be a grab-and-go counter offering takeaway treats like Hello Kitty themed snacks and drinks.
Inside the cafe, you’ll also find a shop with a variety of limited-edition Hello Kitty and Sofles collaboration products, such as shirts, hoodies, totes, caps, keyrings and drink bottles.
Take plenty of photos inside the cute cafe and around Chadstone, including at a 9-metre-tall sculptural installation from street artist Sofles.
Chadstone will also celebrate the occasion with plenty of Hello Kitty festivities during the school holidays. Look forward to Hello Kitty Main Street, a dedicated kids precinct that will offer plenty of activities, such as a silent disco, or a chance to design their own Hello Kitty tote bags and keychains. The school holiday program will run from Saturday September 21 to Sunday October 6. Tickets will be available to purchase for $5 per child. Find out more.
