Pokémon cafe

Pokemon lovers’ mecca!

The Pokémon Café is the latest craze that’s taking the world by storm! The concept of the Pokemon Cafe is simple, yet genius: give people the chance to indulge in their love of Pokemon and tasty snacks at the same time. It’s like the ultimate food-themed Pokemon Gym – except instead of battling Pikachu, you’re simply battling your inner hunger pangs. And with the popularity of Pokemon showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, it’s clear that the Pokemon Cafe will be around for a long time – just like that pesky Zubat that always manages to lurk in the shadows. 

The magic of Pokemon characters

This unique cafe takes the concept of immersive dining and adds a sprinkle of Pikachu magic to it. Customers can indulge in Pokemon-themed dishes and drinks while surrounded by Poke-love. The cafe has found innovative ways to incorporate Pokemon in the experience of customers, ranging from colorful decor to cute Pokemon merchandise. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for popular characters like Eevee and Charmander, who make appearances in the cafe. This place is not just a cafe, it is a Pokemon lover’s mecca, offering delightful treats and adorable Pokemon-themed souvenirs. 

Where Pokemon Cafe is and how to get there

The official Pokémon Cafe is located in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan.  The Tokyo cafe is at Nihonbashi Takashimaya Shopping Center, a 5-minute walk from JR Tokyo station Yaesu North Exit. The Osaka one is at Daimaru Shinsaibashi Store,  directly accessible by underpass from Osaka Metro Midosuji Line Shinsaibashi station. Store hours at both locations are 10:30-22:00 (as of July 2023).

Enjoy the delicious food and atmosphere

It is a perfect destination for Pokémon fans who want to indulge in their love for the popular franchise while enjoying some delicious food. The cafe’s walls are adorned with colorful posters and plush toys of popular Nintendo Pokémon characters that create a playful and cheerful atmosphere. The menu features a variety of dishes inspired by the show’s characters with fun names such as “Everybody’s Favorite Pikachu plate, “Snorlax’s Tummy Filling Nap Lunch Plate”.  Recently, Chinese style dishes such as ramen and fried rice sets have also been added. You can quench your thirst with drinks such as Sprigatito’s melon soda float, Say Hello to Eevee’s”royal milk tea,  Gengar’s Confuse Ray smoothie and Choose your Pokémon lattes with your favorite Pokémon. The menu is designed to keep everybody’s taste buds satisfied and the Pokémon cafe is an ideal hangout spot for Pokemon fans of all ages! And let’s not forget about the merchandise – hats, keychains, and plushies galore!

The trick to get reservations

Internet reservations are required, which by the way, are extremely hard to get. Up to 8 guests are allowed per reservation. Reservations open at 18:00, 31 days before the date of your planned visit date. From my experience, reservations fill up in one minute – so much competition! The recommended way to gain entry is to go directly to the store where they post cancellations for the day. If you’re lucky, you can grab a cancelled spot. There are no guarantees that spots will open up so you may be making an unfruitful trip if you’re unlucky.

A magical experience at the Pokemon Cafe

This cafe is every Pokemon lover’s dream come true if you can get a reservation.  From Pikachu-shaped lattes to Eevee-themed pastries, and merchandise. So, whether you are a longtime fan or just catching up on the craze, the Pokemon Cafe is the ultimate destination for a truly magical experience. Plus, how often do you get to dine with Pikachu? The answer is never, so grab your Poke-ball and head over to the Pokemon Cafe today!
