Reservations are made online and are in English. With your reservation, you have the option to buy exclusive merchandise that’s only available when you make your reservation. The cafe offers exclusive merchandise (some is available at the Pokémon Center Tokyo DX) and other adorable snacks. Total Cost: ¥3,736 ($35 USD) for the three dishes. You go for the theming of the food and not the flavour. I didn’t expect the food to taste any better than other cafes that offer similar dishes. Overall, the food is on point with the Pokemon theme and the flavours aren’t half bad either. The option on the left is before your meal (先) and the option on the right is after your meal (食後). You’re asked if you’d like the dessert before or after your meal. When ordering a dessert you’re presented with two options that are not translated for whatever reason into English. Long story short, it was great and I’d have it again. That put a huge grin on my face for some reason. My favourite part, however, is the cheesecake would jiggle if you shook the plate. The small music note cookies on the plate were an adorable touch, and the whipped cream with berries brought it all together. I’ll admit that I am a huge fan of cheesecake, so it was natural I had to give this a try. I am focusing on the items that I had during my visit.įor dessert, I had the Jigglypuff cheesecake, which did not disappoint. Now for the best part, let’s talk about the food! You can see the menu on this post. This way you’re not rushing so your food doesn’t get cold. I recommend taking photos in the last 30-minutes of your time slot. The modern decor mixed with tasteful Pokémon-themed aesthetic and music creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy while eating an adorable Eevee chicken burger. To top it all off, Pikachu himself comes out during your meal and dances around - all while music that repeats “Pika pika pika Pikachu” is playing in the background. I am all about the music from Red and Blue. Music from the games over the years plays throughout the cafe and hits all the right nostalgic notes. My favourites were the “green” pokéballs that look like shrubs. Photos are allowed inside and encouraged by the staff. Throughout the cafe are display cases with a variety of artwork and Pokémon Plush. Tables are along the perimeter of the room with a large table in the middle (this where you’re seated if you’re alone). The large windows flood the cafe with gorgeous natural light. The cafe itself is a wide-open space with wood paneling and greenery (in the form of pokéballs). Japan is known for its themed cafes - one of my favourites is the 8bit Cafe (more of a bar) in Shinjuku - and it comes as no surprise that the Pokémon Cafe’s theming is spot on. There’s also a KitKat Chocolatory in the maze of underground shops (it’s fun to explore and get out of the elements). Pro Tip: In the basement of Tokyo Station is Character Street where there are tons of shops with Japanese pop culture merchandise including another Pokémon Store. Continue down until you see the Takashimaya Store on the left (you won’t miss it). Here you’ll cross the street (diagonal crosswalk) and walk down the street with sakura trees. You’ll walk by or through Tokyo Station City GranTokyo North Tower. If you’re coming from Tokyo Station, exit out of Yaesu North Entrance or Yaesu Central Entrance.
