Yes, I took a plane ride for Hello Kitty. A pink café, character treats and an entire tea room? That was a pretty convincing reason to add a stop to a Vegas trip.
The Hello Kitty Cafe at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace has a little of everything: a café counter for something sweet, merchandise to browse and the Bow Room for afternoon tea. If you love Sanrio, there is plenty here to get excited about before you even decide what to order.
The cutest little treats
The pastry lineup I shared included My Melody strawberry shortcake, Kuromi cupcakes and Hello Kitty donuts. The characters are part of the fun, especially when the treats look almost too cute to eat.
A drink and a pastry make this an easy stop during an afternoon at the Forum Shops. You can keep it casual, take a few photos and have a look around. The menu changes, so see what is available when you visit rather than setting your heart on one specific character treat.
Making it a tea date
For a sit-down visit, the Bow Room is the one to book. It has afternoon tea, an à la carte savory menu and specialty drinks for dining in. This is the plan-ahead part of the café, with reservations available through the link on Sanrio’s location page.
I would give this its own little space in the day. A tea date is much more fun when you have time to enjoy the setting instead of watching the clock for your next reservation.
The live booking page has the current tea options, prices and cancellation terms. Café opening hours and available tea reservations are separate, so choose your Bow Room time before planning the rest of the afternoon around it.
A little souvenir browsing
The merchandise deserves a look too. The pieces I shared included bags, tumblers, clothing and plushies, with plenty of ways to bring a little Hello Kitty home. There is exclusive merchandise at this location, so leave a little room in your bag if you know you will be tempted.
You will find the café on Level 2 of The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, near the spiral escalators, at 3500 Las Vegas Boulevard South. Save this one for a Vegas trip that could use a pink café break and something sweet.
