SOGO Department Store Food Hall Treats!

The SOGO Food Hall itself is a wonder filled with lots of Japanese and Asian inspired food vendors, some of whom you might already be familiar with, such as

Beard Papa
Mother’s Crepes, and
Milk Top.

There’s a curry restaurant, Hokkai ramen, and the SOGO Cafe ready to serve you breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Hong Kong souvenir shopping

Head to the supermarket and grocery aisles to buy all kinds of things, including Hong Kong souvenirs.

packaged and fresh foods to cook at home
souvenir gifts & packaged gift boxes of chocolates and food souvenirs
snack food
baby food options, and
cold drinks.

You could spend hours wandering around this food hall in SOGO Causeway Bay!

Hello Kitty Cafe is located on the far wall, on the outside aisle of the food market hall on the right if you walk anti-clockwise.

Hot tip: Ask for directions at the information desk. However, if they tell you there’s no Hello Kitty cafe in store (wrong!), ignore them as we did, and find it yourself.

SUPER DOOPER Cute Food at Hong Kong Hello Kitty Cafe!

The Hello Kitty Cafe Hong Kong is NOT your cheapest way to have coffee and cake.

There’s definitely a premium price to be paid for the fun of a Hello Kitty feast but hey, we’re all about fun when we travel!

We budget all year at home, so we can splurge on the SUPER DOOPER FUN attractions and things to do, and that includes trying cakes, sweets and desserts at cute cafes!

Hello Kitty Cafe Menu

There are so many cakes and desserts in the cake display to try.

Mousse in three flavours (chocolate, hazelnut, red bean/green tea, blueberry)
Cheesecake
Chocolate cakes
Red and green apple cakes
Hello kitty shaped biscuits ($HK 10 each)
Hello Kitty Macaroons (starting at $HK 28)
Hello Kitty cupcakes Kitty Cafe Food

Ned tried a Strawberry Tart that had a little Hello Kitty chocolate sitting in the cream.

Jack and I shared a love-heart strawberry mousse cake.

The mousse was small, but the texture and flavor was out of this world, and definitely worth a second visit to eat it again!

Dine in at Hello Kitty Cafe

I was a bit put off by the paper plates.

I can deal with wooden spoons and takeaway cups, but surely when you are paying a premium, a china plate for the cakes, and a Hello Kitty ceramic mug for the coffee is the least they can do to make the experience a little more worthwhile.

Hello Kitty novelty mugs never go astray for the kids either.

But this cafe is not about the sit-down experience.

There’s only a very small side counter where you can pull up one of three stools to sit on, and these are not easy to come by unless you go early.

Hello Kitty Cafe Hong Kong Signature Coffee

How can you resist a coffee with a Hello Kitty insignia?

It is IMPOSSIBLE!

Hello Kitty Cafe Merchandise

Ned and Jack were given a free gift of a Hello Kitty paper fan to take home.

Staff don’t always offer these things to English speaking tourists if they are shy about explaining why to you, so it does pay to ask if you see these ‘souvenirs’ around.

Unless of course, you prefer to travel lightly.

Sometimes, we defer simply because we don’t want to add to the world’s rubbish problem if we don’t really love the thing on offer.

There wasn’t any other Hello Kitty cafe souvenirs to buy at this shop, but it’s only a tiny kiosk, so there’s no room to display them.
