π Revisiting the Hello Kitty CafΓ© at Irvine Spectrum! π±β
π Hello Kitty CafΓ© π° Average: $15 per person βοΈ Afternoon tea sets require reservations ($60/person). Walk-in guests can sit in the open seating area near the Ferris wheel β plenty of space and super cute! Drawn in by the looks, but pleasantly surprised by the flavor! Great value β perfect for dates, afternoon tea, or photo ops πΈβ I often come here on weekends with friends, then stroll around the Spectrum. Today I even got an adorable capsule toy kitty! π±π β Drink Recommendations: Latte & Cappuccino: Smooth and well-made Fruit Teas: Light, not too sweet β perfect with desserts Hot Chocolate: Rich and chocolatey, but a bit sweet for some π© Desserts: π Mini Donuts β BEST ITEM! Freshly fried, crispy outside, soft inside. Seasonal flavors β my fave is lemon! Topped with powdered sugar and tangy lemon glaze β sweet, sour, and not greasy at all. My friends always fight over these! A must-order β¨ π« Chocolate Cake Dense, rich, with a slight bitter cocoa note. Best shared by 3 people β pairs perfectly with coffee or tea. π§ Badtz-Maru (Cool Penguin) Special The seasonal theme is so cute! Their ice cream has a shaved ice texture β super refreshing for summer. Comes with a cute penguin cookie! π Strawberry Tart Just okay β the cream inside is light, but the tart crust was pretty basic. Still, it sold out fast! Pretty looks = quick sales π π Bow Tie Cake Photo-worthy? Absolutely! But the outer frosting is extremely sweet, and the strawberry cake inside is just average. Great for your Instagram, not so much for eating π« #HelloKittyCafe #IrvineEats #CuteDesserts #LAFoodie #AfternoonTea #KawaiiFood #OCEats
