Hello Kitty Cafe: Sanrio’s first US cocktail bar opens in California
And yet, as Hello Kitty’s fans age, her cuteness seems to have enduring worldwide appeal.
This appeal has spawned a wine label and now a new cocktail concept, opening in Irvine, California on Sept. 14.
While Sanrio has other character-themed cafes around the world, and has previously licensed pop-ups in the US, the Hello Kitty Grand Cafe is Sanrio’s first permanent restaurant and bar in the US.
It’s also the first Sanrio location in the world to feature a cocktail service and afternoon tea.
