Here's a polished version that keeps your excitement and personal touch: Loved everything about this place! Isabella was so incredibly kind and helpful, which made the experience even better. The store was adorable, spacious, and full of amazing finds. I ended up buying a hat, a Vancouver Hello Kitty bag, the cutest Hello Kitty face-shaped cups, a thermos, and a sweatshirt. We also picked up an adorable Keromi shirt for our daughter. I would have loved to try the food too, but sadly it wouldn't have survived the trip back to the cruise ship. Maybe next time! So far I've now visited the Hello Kitty locations in Vegas, Irvine, and Vancouver -- and each one has been such a fun experience! read more

Super cute cafe. This cafe has More menu options than the one in Las Vegas. They also sell merchandise with pretty expensive price tags. We had quite a few things to choose from - boba teas, coffee and ice cream waffle. You can also customize the sweetness of your boba. Seating is on the second floor - very limited and tight area. read more

Review #44 for 2025 Went here when we visited Vancouver. As a Hello Kitty fan, I LOVED it. It was super cute. It is a pretty small cafe though, no seating really. Although I did see stairs and said to myself I wanted to see where it lead, but ended up forgetting after buying merch and getting my drink. There are some cute photo ops in this shop. This shop is geared towards merch and buying your food and drinks to-go. As far as merch, it is on display but you will have to tell the worker what you want and they will get it for you. A bag is given to you if you buy stuff, but if you want extra bags, you will have to pay for it. I bought an extra bag because I had bought some stuff for another friend of mine who loves Hello Kitty more than me and I wanted to give it in a Hello Kitty Cafe bag. an extra bag costs about $1 and I think it was $2 or $3 if you wanted one of the larger bags. As far as merch goes, they have shirts, sweaters, bags, makeup bags, pins, key chains, stuff animals, etc. It was better than any selection of merch I have seen at the Hello Kitty stores here in America. The prices are high though. Nothing here is "cheap"... but I was on vacation and I love Hello Kitty, so of course I splurged and got some things. As far as food and drinks. They have various coffee drinks, teas, milk teas and lemonade. Keep in mind that you are coming here for the theming, not for mind blowing coffee and food. Don't expect anything extravagant here. The coffee here is not strong and the drinks are average, but the coffee comes with in a super cute pink Hello Kitty cup and the stopper is a Hello Kitty!! They were nice enough that they gave me an extra stopper for me to give to my friend! As far as food, it's just sweets... they have Hello Kitty themed cookies & mini cakes. All the cakes are super sweet but they are also super cute. I've tried them before at other locations so I only got a coffee here. The only thing I saw here that I have not seen at other locations was that they have a Hello Kitty shaped taiyaki that came with ice cream. I wanted to try just the taiyaki, but they told me it came with ice cream and cost $14 and that they do not sell it by itself, so I decided to pass on that. It was super cute though. Would I come back? Yes, because I am a Hello Kitty fan and now I really want the Hello Kitty taiyaki. I also want to see if they will have new merch next time I'm there! It's a must stop for Hello Kitty fans... if you aren't one though, I would say this is not your place. read more

You're never too old to LOVE Hello Kitty. I've been a super-fan since 70s. Since I was cruising on Princess, I made sure this cafe was my first stop in Vancouver. The store is SUPER CUTE. I was thrilled to take a picture with Hello Kitty. I had the peach slushy with coconut jelly and it was very good. read more

Adorable shop with adorable (expensive) food, adorable (expensive) merch, and adorable (free) photo ops. Hello Kitty fans will love it, non fans like my kids will constantly ask "can we go now?". Food and merch are on the ground level, there is a second level with a few tables and chairs. Although the food and drinks are ok, it's a fun place to sit and enjoy a snack. read more

got the brown sugar milk tea with boba with my husband. if you like really soft boba, this drink might be for you! But, the milk tea itself was poorly done with its little sweetness even though we ordered the regular level. it was like that of 25% instead of the ordered 100%. prices were diabolically high for such a declined quality, but again, it is the brand. service was very kindhearted, but it would have been nice if staff members made efforts to take photos for incoming visitors. a lot of photo ops at this location. the cutie patootie pink walls with the Sanrio series playing on the TV made it so visitors would just want to stare at their surroundings. love the diversity in the types of tabling and seating options with couches, chairs, etc. enjoy these pictures of us trying to recreate iconic Hello Kitty and Dear Daniel poses read more

Omg, the cutest café ever. As soon as I seen it, I ran to the café. They had super cute merch in there that had Vancouver on it. I got my mom a bucket hat, that's all she wears. Everyone was so sweet and super friendly. The staff took of picture of us and turned out amazing. So glad I stopped by. I would definitely recommend this place for sure, if you are a hk lover. I definitely want to go back. read more

How can anyone give Hello Kitty Cafe anything less than 5 when you're a bonafide superfan?! Cute store. Got myself a hoodie and a HK pin with the Canada Maple leaf symbol to commemorate my trip. Also ordered a iced vanilla latte which wasn't too sweet - it's decent! I would go back just for the iced coffee (and some self control - hard to resist all of the adorable merchandise). read more

If there is a Hello Kitty Cafe in a city I am visiting, I always go out of my way to visit! This is my first time at the Hello Kitty Café in Vancouver. It is super cute inside! Very pink and nicely decorated. Besides the café aspect, they have a lot of Hello Kitty Café merchandise sold there. There is a second floor, as well! It looks like they are still settling into this location because there was a lot of boxes out on the floor when we visited. My sister was the only one that ordered anything from the café. She ordered the Passionfruit Green Tea. It was a refreshing drink! read more

Hello Kitty themed cafe along Robson - I personally feel like this was a huge overhype - Place is very well lit - Lots of pink and plenty of merchandise - it is definitely a great place to snap some pictures for the gram - or pick up some hello kitty themed merch. - Prices vary - but most seemed pretty high in my opinion. The team members are very attentive and friendly - so no issues service wise - Personally don't think there was much of a hello kitty theme to there pastries/cakes so that was a little disappointing - didn't try there coffee - however had one of there bubble teas - and there is definitely better along Robson - even at reduced sugar - it still tasted like drinking sugar water. This is probably a skip for me - unless I'm in the area and want to give there coffee a try read more

This is such a cute shop. The counter area is a little small but they offered cute cakes and fun drinks. There's a little shop next to the counter as well to buy some HKC merch. I got the brown sugar bubble tea. It wasn't too sweet. The only downfall was the paper straw. read more

The drink was a little disappointing, but the topped was cute. The lady helping me grab the items I wanted from the Hello Kitty shop didn't even grab my correct items, even though I was the only one in the store at the time asking. It was worth a one time visit , but I won't go back. read more

Wow! That was a line up back in May, wasn't it??? Took the kids to take a look Sunday, Aug 25. It was a short little wait as it was a bit crowded in the store. Looking into the store from the outside, the left side is the ordering counter for Boba drinks, ice cream and various pastries.....right side had a photo op area and stairs lead up to more seating and another photo op area. On the ground floor at the back of the store is a washroom and a merchandise corner. I was disappointed that there was so little merchandise to buy. I imagine they are waiting for stock to arrive. Couldn't help to notice the pink paint chipping away from the stairs.....makes the store look cheap. Kid got a vanilla Boba....she said it was OK....maybe a little too sweet. If you are a fan of Hello Kitty definitely visit but if you are just a casual fan maybe give it a pass.... read more

Cute little stop. Had to stop to get stuff for my sister in law. Wife got herself a few things as well. I would have given 5 stars but had to subtract a couple stars for not letting my wife swap out a purchase for something else. We had not even left the store but they said NO RETURNS. read more

Unintentionally parked right across the street and obviously had to go in. It wasn't as busy as the San Diego HK cafe and I'm surprised that it was sort of empty. Interior is cute, however the upstairs seating area was dirty. Prices are pretty inexpensive but I'm considering that conversion rates are good right now. We grabbed a vanilla oat milk latte and a plain oat milk latte and it was surprisingly better than expected even though they just used a touch button machine. Also, the fact they had oat milk as an alternative was so nice. The little cakes looked good, and there was a good amount of HK merch available for purchase read more

I really enjoyed this spot! The drink selection was great and the merch in-store was super cute--though I will say the online selection is much bigger if you're looking for more variety. It honestly fulfilled a little childhood dream of mine being able to visit. The only downside during my visit was the lack of manners from some customers. At one point, a woman at a nearby table let out a very loud fart that definitely took the experience from Hello Kitty to Hello Shitty. Obviously not the store's fault, but it did take away from the vibe a bit. read more

I decided to visit this place at least a month later after seeing that incredibly long line up. I still had to line up on Saturday afternoon, the waiting time was about 20-25minutes which wasn't bad. Goods were sold out except T shirts just came in... We ordered Soft serve with Hello Kitty Waffle Cone, Lychee Green tea, and Mango coconuts cake. Soft serve was just ok, Hello Kitty waffle was super-cute. Lychee Green tea was better than I expected. Mango coconuts cake was also ok, The mango mousse wasn't too sweet, and I liked the little kitty chocolate on top. I really wanted to get the Vancouver logo Kitty goods, but unfortunately, they are sold out. I will visit again when they are back in stock. read more

The girl at the merch store was beyond rude and made my exciting trip experience into a horrible one. I was shocked how can someone like her be working in such a beautiful place.

Cute little shop. I got the Strawberry Green Tea with tapioca, and it was pretty good. Texture of the tapioca was good. I'm not a huge fan of Hello Kitty, but my friend wanted to come here, so I figured I'd try a bubble tea since I love bubble tea. Great place for a Hello Kitty fan. read more

We line up for 2 hours on opening weekend which is not bad. The wait in Vegas on a hot Nevada day was longer. It was worth it to see the layout and interior of the cafe. It's not big at all and very limited seating inside. The merch is not as good as in Vegas but good to finally have it open after so much anticipation! They were sold out of a lot of the bakery items by the time we got it so definitely will have to come back again. read more

So this place is very very cute, just like you would expect. I love the ambiance and the staff is helpful and the service is fast. Food and drinks are "fine" but nothing special. You definitely go for the ambiance. For example, if you were craving bubble tea I wouldn't say go to HK Cafe. There are way better places for that. Same with ice cream, or lattes. HOWEVER if you're craving to sit in a very cute space with very cute cups and you love Hello Kitty, I would absolutely recommend it! read more

But the waffle and the vanilla ice cream is so good! My man took me here for Valentine's Day and we had a great time and their decorations are cute and they have little things you can buy of hello Kitty. also they have an upstairs where you can sit and take pictures and listen in on peoples conversations. It's awesome! Thank you Hello Kitty cafe!!!!!!!! read more

i dropped in at the hello kitty cafe vancouver on a wednesday, at 1:00 pm as there was no line up. ever since its grand opening on may 17th, the place has been crazy busy, with lines that sometimes got insane. fans of hello kitty have been impatiently waiting for the opening of its first canadian location, and have been met with at least four postponed launch dates. i had initially planned on waking up early to wait two hours in line to meet this kawaii icon, but when i got there, the line was already stretched from robson to haro before the store even opened. shout out to the hard core hello kitty fan who camped out at 7:00 pm the night before to be first in line, i didn't stand a chance. there was a sign today that their soft serve machine was out of service. their menu consists of coffee and espresso, (iced costs $1 more than hot) flavoured iced (green) tea, milk tea, hot chocolate, lemonade, and iced brown sugar milk. they have a few individual sized cakes (birthday, strawberry, chocolate cookie cream, and mango coconut), and soft serve ice cream, that's it. majority of their merch was almost all sold out, save for a few pins, tshirts in size small and medium only. on the plus side, you get a cute hello kitty paper bag at no additional charge with your purchases. the store is very bubble gum pink, it's donut themed with sprinkles, clouds and her signature bow. there's a couple of instagram worthy opportunities available here and limited seating on the second floor. i got a bubble milk tea, and it was meh, but i do love my hello kitty branded envelope file folder. read more

Cute place with lots of pink and hello kitty items for purchase. Drinks start from $6 and ready made small cakes ranged from $11 - $14. I got the Vanilla latte and it wasn't too sweet. The strawberry cake was nothing special in taste and quality. This place is more for the decor with several spots throughout the store to take a cute photos. I went on a weekday midday and there was a small 5 minute line inside. read more

Unfortunately, my visit to the Hello Kitty store was a huge disappointment. The atmosphere among staff -- both managers and employees -- felt toxic and unprofessional, with noticeable micromanagement on the floor. I heard staff gossiping in open about their other team member who went to washroom. They all are drama queens. The quality of the food was very poor -- not what you'd expect given the branding and pricing. Most of the merchandise was extremely overpriced, and the store layout made everything feel tight and crammed, with little space to move around or browse comfortably. We expected a more welcoming and joyful experience. There's definitely room for serious improvement. read more

Hello kitty cafe Vancouver finally opened and I went late at night by then their cakes were all gone but I got a drink a bubble milk tea for $8 (kinda pricey as with everything in this store) with pearls, at least the pearls were soft and chewy though and I liked the cup and little hello kitty stopper figure on top. Coming to this cafe it's for the aesthetics of hello kitty, it is a small shop, even with upstairs there isn't much seats and I can imagine when this place is busy how crowded and tight this place would be. I would like to try their ice cream one day because they do have a cute hello kitty taiyaki waffle that seems yummy. Also the mirror in the bathroom is cute! read more
