The Hello Kitty Cafe at Manchester Primark is a delightful homage to the beloved pop culture icon, celebrating 50 years of Hello Kitty in the most charming way possible. Located inside both the Market Street and Trafford Centre stores, this café offers fans the opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant and whimsical world of Hello Kitty, complete with Instagram-worthy décor and an array of themed treats.
As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by a sea of pink and red, with colourful cupcakes, doughnuts, and bows decorating the space. The café is a visual feast that captures the essence of Hello Kitty's signature kawaii style. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just looking for a fun and unique experience, the café's cute aesthetic is sure to bring a smile to your face.
The menu at the Hello Kitty Café is just as delightful as the décor, featuring a variety of limited-edition items inspired by the iconic character. I decided to try the Kitty Pink Milkshake, a strawberry delight topped with whipped cream and a pink iced doughnut. At £5.95, it was a bit indulgent, but the presentation was so charming that it felt worth every penny. The shake was sweet and creamy, and the doughnut added a fun twist to the experience.
Lawrence opted for the Pineapple Bubble Tea with mango boba, priced at £4.95. The tropical flavours were refreshing, and the boba added a nice texture, making it a perfect choice for fans of bubble tea. We both ordered our own portions of the BBQ Pulled Pork Bow Buns, which are served as a pair for £6.50. The buns were soft and filled with flavourful pulled pork, though Lawrence mentioned that the portion size left him a bit hungry afterward.
In addition to the café, Primark has launched a new Hello Kitty collection in collaboration with Sanrio, featuring over 100 items across womenswear, kidswear, and homeware. The collection embodies Hello Kitty's timeless charm and includes everything from cosy loungewear to playful accessories, making it a must-see for any fan.
Overall, the Hello Kitty Café at Manchester Primark is a must-visit for anyone who loves all things cute and sweet. The café's fun and delicious food options, coupled with its adorable décor, make it a delightful spot for a break from shopping or a whimsical outing with friends. Whether you're enjoying a milkshake, bubble tea, or the irresistible Bow Buns, you're sure to leave with a smile on your face.
