I recently went, and it's such a cute spot, perfect for a treat or just to soak in the adorable vibes. From the moment you step up, the exterior with its big pink Hello Kitty bow sign and polka dot walls just screams cuteness. They even have outdoor seating with umbrellas, which is lovely for a sunny LA day. Beyond the Keroppi Matcha Latte and Chococat Frozen Mocha (which I reviewed in my main post – spoiler: the mocha was my favorite!), their menu is packed with other delightful options. I saw they offer a Hello Kitty Strawberry Green Iced Tea, which sounds super refreshing, especially if you're looking for something lighter than a frozen drink. For those who love coffee, they also have regular coffee and espresso drinks, but with that special Sanrio flair. And yes, they do have frappe-style drinks beyond the Chococat one, so if you're into that, you'll be spoiled for choice! What I really appreciate is how they theme everything. Each drink doesn't just taste good; it's also a mini work of art. My Chococat Frozen Mocha and Keroppi Matcha Latte both came topped with whipped cream, and they just looked so Instagrammable in their clear plastic cups with pink straws. It's truly an experience for your eyes as much as your taste buds! Prices are pretty typical for a theme park cafe, so expect to pay a bit more than your local coffee shop, but honestly, for the atmosphere and the unique Sanrio items, I think it's worth it for a special treat. It's definitely a must-visit if you're looking for unique Hello Kitty merchandise too, as they often have exclusive items. A little tip from my visit: if you're going during a busy time (like a weekend or holiday), be prepared for a bit of a line. But trust me, the adorable drinks and the whole Hello Kitty experience make the wait totally worth it. It’s such a fun place to grab a drink with friends – maybe even for National Girlfriends Day! It's a sweet escape right in the heart of Universal Studios, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their Sanrio menu items. Next time, I'm eyeing that Strawberry Green Iced Tea!
