After leaving the Orgel Museum, we saw this place and I was dragged inside (joking!). The 1st floor is a store with different Hello Kitty merch, while the 2nd floor had the tables. You have to order on the 1st floor before going up. I thought that, considering the place, it'd be expensive and the food regular, but it was very good! The 2nd floor was empty, so it was a relaxing simple lunch.

The Hello Kitty Cafe is a delightful place that's perfect for fans of the adorable feline character. As soon as you step inside, you're transported into a world of pink and white, with Hello Kitty's iconic bow and face adorning everything from the walls to the utensils. The menu is filled with sweet treats and drinks that are just as cute as they are delicious. Whether you're in the mood for a latte with Hello Kitty's face etched into the foam or a cookie that looks like her bow, there's something for everyone. One of the highlights of the cafe is the afternoon tea set, which comes with an array of savory and sweet bites served on a three-tiered stand. The sandwiches and quiches are delicious, but the real stars are the Hello Kitty-shaped scones and cakes. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the attention to detail in the decor and presentation of the food is impressive. It's clear that a lot of love and care goes into creating each item on the menu. Overall, the Hello Kitty Cafe is a must-visit for fans of the character and anyone who appreciates cute and tasty food. It's a fun and whimsical experience that will leave you with a big smile on your face.

We came here as our girl is a big fan of the cat. Ordering of food is to be done at level 1, then you can go up to level 2 to find a table for dine in. We were fortunate as there was no queue and plenty of tables available at level 2. Food was beautiful decorated with the cat logos but taste wise was so-so. There wasnt any cooking fume smells at level 2 which was a good thing. Note that there is a sign to say you must order at least one food item per adult. There is no toilet here, you will have to use the ones at the music box museum next door. Conclusion is unless you are a big fan of the cat, there is really no point to visit this cafe in my opinion.

Stepping into the Hello Kitty Cafe is a dream come true! The lattes with Hello Kitty's face on the foam and cookies shaped like her signature bow are almost too cute to eat. The staff is incredibly friendly, and you can feel the love and care they put into every single item. It's a whimsical and fun experience that will definitely leave you with a smile. ​Pro Tips for Your Visit: ​You don't need a reservation, but you must order and pay on the first floor before heading up to the cafe on the second floor. ​The first floor is a store, so get ready to do some shopping!

Hello Kitty Cafe is such a cute place! While the food is average, it's definitely worth a visit if you're a Hello Kitty fan. You can enjoy afternoon tea here and take lots of adorable photos. The whole atmosphere is very cozy. The cafe is located on the second floor, and the first floor sells various Hello Kitty merchandise. The location is very convenient, close to the JR station, and only a 6-minute walk from JR Minami-Otaru Station. Next door is a music box factory that you can visit, making the overall experience fantastic!
