Kirby cafe isn’t one of those places that you accidentally stumble upon, you must deliberately seek out this place with the intention of basking in all of what it offers. In fact, this place is notorious for having impossibly hard reservations; opening up for one day out of the month for the entire month’s worth of reservation and being fully booked within minutes.

As all themed cafes, you don’t really come here for the taste or to be filled. You come here for the atmosphere. The inside layout is adorable, every item you order has amazing intricate details- you almost feel bad for eating it and destroying the art piece. The service is amazing. Although they don’t speak English, they have systems to communicate with you as best as possible. We made a mistake because of a language barrier and got two of the same items. They apologized profusely and didn’t charge us for the second copy. They will, however attempt to upsell you on order exclusive items (which are really hard to turn down because of how enticing they are).

Again, you don’t have to be, but it helps to be a Kirby fan or a lover of cute stuff to enjoy this place. The taste is average at best and it didn’t really fill me or my two other friends.

After eating, it connects right to the gift shop where you can find hundreds of Kirby cafe exclusive items. I ended up spending close to $150 CAD here.

Overall, I would say this is a bucket list place if you’re visiting and love Kirby, but that’s about all. It’s a place to visit just to say you’ve visited, but I wouldn’t visit again considering the difficulty of getting a reservation again in the first place. The gift shop can be visited even if you don’t eat there, so don’t worry about having to buy everything in one visit.
