Just as we’re bringing out our winter clothes, the Nintendo series-themed cafe is bringing out its winter menu.
Kirby Café
Nintendo star’s restaurant is offering something that looks like a beefy treat, but tastes entirely different.
Hiiiiii! Fancy taking a gourmet tour of the tropics with Kirby as your guide? Now you can — and there’s pizza, too!
Official Kirby Cafe merchandise turns out to be startlingly, and adorably, good at recreating the Nintendo star’s in-game power.
We’re happy to say that details on the locations, menu and merchandise for the Kirby Café have now been released!
