Taiwan - Hello Kitty Sweets

After hearing all the raves about Hello Kitty Sweets, I just have to visit the cafe as I am a huge Hello Kitty fan!

I collect Hello Kitty merchandise.
But, I am quite fussy about the design on the merchandise.

Ok, so back to the Hello Kitty Sweets.

Hello Kitty Sweets is located near Zhongxiao Fuxing station (Exit 3).
It is a short walk away and you can easily spot the shop from far.
Its open from 11.30am to 10pm.

Reservations is important as it is very popular regardless of the time of the day.
We went without making any reservations.
Despite being past lunch time, there was a huge group of people outside the shop.
Everyone were there to make reservations for tea / dinner as lunch was full.

The number to call will be +886 2 2711 1132.
However, I would encourage you to read the entire post before you decide to make a booking...

You will need to observe the following rules at the cafe:
1. There is a time limit of 90 minutes for you to eat and take pictures
2. Each person must spend at least TWD 300 (which works out to SGD 12)



All the Hello Kitty inspired cakes and pastries...





Waiting Area...



Dining Area on the 1st Floor


The place where all the creations are made..




2nd floor dining area - more Hello Kitty decor!

This is the chocolate smoothie with biscuit. It cost TWD 230 (i.e. SGD 10)

There's a cute little hello kitty

This cake is very pretty but contains lots of cream. It cost TWD 280 (i.e. SGD 12)


We ordered a Kitty Cheese Tart set. It cost TWD 340 (i.e. SGD 14) and comes with a drink (worth TWD 180). Had to top up TWD 50 as I ordered a slightly expensive drink.

This is the Strawberry Cocoa drink. Taste a bit like latte. 

The whole experience was pretty good, until I went to the toilet.
Yes, there is a nice plush pink armchair inside and some hello kitty decor.
But, the toilet looks like an ordinary public toilet with Hello Kitty decor.
My partner told me that the mens toilet has no decor at all.




Very very disappointed.
Just one more place to decor...
