The Hello Kitty Cafe Truck continues its 2021 east coast tour with a Feb. 13 stop at Westshore Plaza in Tampa.
Hello Kitty Cafe—which boasts “an expanded menu featuring a supercute selection of cookies, cakes, seasonal items and handmade hot and iced drinks”—debuted the first truck in 2014, which led to the Hello Kitty Cafe Pop-Up Container in 2016 and the Hello Kitty Mini Cafe. Other stops on this year’s East Coast tour include Atlanta, Virginia Beach, and D.C.
This weekend, fans of Sanrio’s cute feline can get a look at exclusive goodies and collectibles like canvas tote bags, hand decorated cookie sets, mugs, and apparel. The truck’s menu ranges $4-16 for food and $7-39 for merch.
