If you’re in Ikebukuro to check out the Pokémon Center Mega Tokyo, don’t leave without a stop at the Pikachu Sweets Café. Located right next to the Pokémon Center, the café serves up cute Pikachu themed snacks and drinks. It’s the perfect break in your shopping frenzy.

What is the Pikachu Sweets Café like?

The Pikachu Sweets Café is a small, cheery spot with bright decor and plenty of Pikachus dotted around. The café is take-out only, so the food options are small and compact. Most visitors order the honey Pikachu pastry, and a drink to go with it. The “Pocketful Drink Set” which comes with one pastry and a hot drink, will set you back ¥1,458.

Do they sell merchandise?

Yep! You can buy Pikachu plush toys with chef’s hats and aprons to remember your visit. There’s also Pikachu-themed straws, cups, and teapots available.
