Pikachu Sweets by Pokémon Cafe
The world’s first permanent Pokémon Cafe is feeling the blow of Japan’s international travel restrictions.
If everyone loves Pikachu, and everyone loves pudding, there’s no way this won’t be awesome.
While there may not be a lot of partying around this festive season, this awesome Pikachu cake is definitely an electrifyingly cute way to celebrate Christmas!
Pikachu Sweets and Pokémon Cafes also add Pikachu cheek-to-cheek parfaits and spooky Ghost-type tea drinks.
Just what we’ve been waiting for — because you really can’t have too many Pikachu-themed sweets, can you?
Too busy for a sit-down meal at the Pokémon Cafe? Let Pikachu help you quickly satisfy your cravings for the sweetest meal of the day!
