What people say
Hello Kitty Cafe Irvine has received mixed reviews from the press and customers alike. The most recent review in the Los Angeles Times from October 2019 praised the cafe for its cute decor and desserts but criticized the long lines and high prices. They also noted that some of the menu items, such as the hot drinks, weren't very flavorful.
A review from OC Weekly in July 2019 was more critical, stating that while the cafe was "adorable," the food and drinks were overpriced and underwhelming. The reviewer specifically called out a $7 bottle of water and a $15 latte served in a plastic cup.
On Yelp, customer reviews have been mostly positive, with an overall rating of 4 stars out of 5. Customers have raved about the Instagram-worthy decor and cute merchandise available for purchase, but some have also mentioned long wait times to be seated or to order. Several reviewers have recommended trying the strawberry cake or macarons.
One customer on Yelp commented in October 2020, "This place is super cute! The pastries and drinks are yummy too." Another commented in August 2020, "The matcha latte was amazing! So smooth and creamy!" However, a few negative reviews from customers have mentioned rude service from staff members or disappointment with certain menu items.
Overall, Hello Kitty Cafe Irvine seems to be a hit among fans of cute aesthetics and sweet treats, but some may find it overpriced or underwhelming in terms of quality.
