What is adorable and pink — and tours the country on four wheels?
The mobile Hello Kitty Cafe truck, of course.
Returning to Tampa for a third year, the roving cafe makes an appearance at International Plaza between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday. The world-famous kitty plans to load up its cute ride — popular among kids and adults since it first debuted in October 2014 — with all sorts of signature goodies and collectibles, among them new three-piece cookie box sets, pocket pies and bow-shaped water bottles.
Four-piece petite fours box sets and five-piece macaron box sets are returning treats, while nonedible offerings include bow-handled mugs, stainless-steel thermal bottles and T-shirts.
The merchandise and sweets are available for purchase while supplies last. Fans should look for the Hello Kitty Cafe parked across from the mall's Urban Outfitters along Bay Street.
