Hey guys, I am currently at the new Pokemon cafe. Well, it's actually not new
It's like a year old
But for me it's new because I've never been here, and I'm super excited because it's actually the first permanent Pokemon cafe.
I have high hopes for the food usually with these like character cafes the food can be a little crappy.
But because this is a permanent cafe, hopefully hopefully it's at least you know edible this time. I'm actually mostly excited about the menu.
I will show it to you guys in a second and you'll see why I'm excited,
But first let me introduce my friend Sophie! Sophie actually does Twitch. so I will link her down below. Go check her out.
So they give you a little paper hat when you come in. This is Sakura Afro Pikachu
It's a new spring character, which arguably could have been made a lot cuter.
I'm kind of disappointed because you'd think that Sakura Pikachu would be freaking adorable, and you would want to buy all the plushies.
Sophie: Like the cute, like pink Pikachu. Sharmander: Oh my - Sophie: with the sakura bits on him-
Right? Next year. Make it happen, Pokemon. So with this cafe you have to actually book in advance
It's really busy and you need to make a reservation. Me and Sophie made our reservation probably two or three weeks ago.
So if you do want to come check out the link down below, and I'll show you guys how to make a reservation here.
It's all in English, I believe. I think I remember there being English on the website, so it shouldn't be too difficult.
There's a little touch screen where you can order food, and we have a total of an hour and a half here and you're allowed
To make orders up until 30 minutes before your time is up.
Let's order some food and I'll show you guys what I'm excited about on the menu.
So this is like the osusume- the current osusume menu. Yes! This is what we came here for~!
It is a freaking
Vegetable burger. A veggie burger, guys! This is like unheard of Japanese character cafes. It's always meat dishes.
It's a limited edition spring menu, so it will be off the menu soon.
They have lots of really cute fancy cocktail type drinks. Oh, a Eevee Coco~!
Look at this Gengar smoothie. I had my eye on...
Is that the one? No, that's not it. This one. This is ditto teeth. It looks like a sunset.
It's really pretty so I think I'll get one of those.
Oh, they've got sweets.
Pikachu a la mode... Eevee parfait...
Jigglypuff cheesecake! They've got a decently sized menu. I'm pretty impressed with it.
It's definitely a lot bigger than a typical pop-up character cafe.
Oh, look at that~! Aww, what is that? Is that Doria... yeah.
They also have these Pokemon
Lattes, which are pretty neat because they let you choose your favorite Pokemon, and you can choose from all these different characters.
I think it's the first hundred and fifty one. Yeah, so I knew they'd have a Paris, but unfortunately, they don't do soy milk
So I'm not gonna get one. If you're into lattes, that's really fun. So we've made our order
It was kind of expensive. I think it came to about $50 or so.
We got two main dishes, two drinks, and a dessert. So actually I guess it's not too bad
It's not too bad.
Usually these like character cafes are a little on the pricier side. Fingers crossed that it actually tastes good this time. We will see.
Time for the taste test. It's huge! I don't know how I'm gonna get this in my mouth.
But look at how adorable this is~!
mmm!
All right, it's softer than I imagined which is good
When we saw the burgers come out were like, "Oh god, the buns look so hard. This is gonna be disgusting."
The buns are really soft and chewy
However, it is lacking ketchup and as a Canadian, I do not approve.
But honestly, you just get it for the cuteness, so I can't complain too much.
mmm. I should have taken off the tomato.
Sharmander: Do you like tomatoes? Sophie: I don't. Sharmander: *Laughs*
Sharmander: Just going to take everything off. Sophie: Yeah. Sharmander: *More Laughing*
I don't know why they didn't put ketchup on it.
Okay, if you come to this cafe bring like a little package of your own ketchup. You won't regret it! *Laughs*
Sohpie: Don't judge me. Oh my god. You're exposing me, stop! I can put some of the lettuce on it. Might be nice. Yeah, dad. I'm gonna find killer sauce
mmm! It's good!
As far as veggie burgers feels it's like decent. It's not bad!
Sophie: The veggies are actually very good. Sharmander: I love how they give you like little side dishes of fries, salad, and these assorted veggie chips!
Which are always my favorite they're usually really yummy. I think this is purple potato
mmm, these are really good.
Again, the fries need ketchup. Who the hell serves fries without ketchup???
What's wrong with this country?
Sharmander: Tastes like McDonald's fries. Sophie: Yeah, I know the fries are pretty good. Sharmander: Tastes like it came straight from McDonald's, yeah! And they also give you a little vegetable soup!
It tastes so unhealthy, but like, good! *Laughs*
It's like a Slurpee from 7-Eleven. You know what those are?
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
I don't know what the light-blue layer is.
Yeah!
Basically pure sugar.
But it tastes different in this one. This one is definitely grape... maybe ramune?
And then...
Oh.
This one doesn't have any flavor. *laughs*
I think all the syrup is like stuck to the bottom. *laughs* But it looks really pretty so I don't want to stir it up.
Cafe Worker: Okay. Sophie: It's like, jelly balls at the bottom of it. I wasn't expecting that.
No, my LED lights went out!
So they give you this really cool coaster with LED lights that like lights up rainbow colors to illuminate
Your drink when you put it on top, but mine died.
Things happen.
Oh my god, it's Afro Pikachu!
*More Excited Chatter*
If you order a drink, for every drink you order you get a free coaster that you can bring home and
The staff will come around with an iPad and you... you pick a card and it will determine which Pokemon you'll get!
(Category: Flame Pokemon) Cafe Worker: Congrats for getting Fire!
Cafe Worker: Here you go. Sharmander: I got fire.
Aww, I got the same one...?
Sharmander: *Laughs* Is it not good?
Sophie: It's a lemon flavor.
Sophie: And because of the color, I was expecting, like strawberry (or raspberry or something)? Sharmander: Yeah...
Sophie: This part on the top tastes like nothing. It's nothing. Like, it's not any fruit.
Sharmander: Are the notes like, cookies? What are those?
Sophie: Yeah, it looks like it is.
Sophie: Yeah, they are shortbreads. Sharmander: Ah, well, that's good.
Look at the pancakes~! I've never seen plushie pancakes before~!
So we're gonna head next door to the Pokemon Center Deluxe.
It's like a fancy Pokemon Center, which is right next door to the cafe and
See if they have anything special in there. I actually haven't been to the Pokemon Center in
Years. I feel like it's been? Sophie: Really? Sharmander: Yeah, it's been way too long. I used to go like...
Weekly because I used to live near one when I was living in Tokyo!
Uh, so it's really nice to be back. I'm excited to see what kind of merchandise they have.
Why??? This could have been SO much cuter, but I honestly after seeing like the live one in the cafe
It made me like it a little bit. Sophie: Yeah, me too. *Both laughing*
It was pretty cute.
It's really cute.
Their selection of plushies is just ridiculous.
Wait until I show you guys the collection they have. I think it's every single one of the 150
or 151 Pokemon in plushie form- which means they have a Paras. They have like an Onyx...
I-it just blows my mind because I was waiting forever for them to release the Paras plushie and it's here and I should probably buy it.
Aww, there it is~! *Laughs*
❤❤❤❤❤
It's the cutest thing ever~!
I need it! Sophie: Do you have one? Sharmander: I don't. Sophie: Oh, you should get it! Sharmander: I think I'll get it. Sophie: It's rare to get a Paras plushie.
Actually a viewer sent me a Paras plushie years ago. Sophie: Really? Sharmander: ...and it I was so, just amazed by it.
Because I didn't even think they made them. But there was like, a limited edition plushie that came out years ago.
And I do have that one, but this one is so cute. And it's a little like bean bag, too.
And Ivysaur~!
(Short Kanto Plushie Montage)
There's just so many plushies that you're not used to seeing because they never released them before. Like Kabuto. What? I love Kabuto!
Sophie: *laughs* Really? Sharmander: Yeah.
Kabuto and Paras are like, two of my favorites.
Sophie: What is that? Sharmander: It's so cool *laughs* I don't know. because they're kind of creepy-looking?
Sophie: Reeeeaaaaallllllly? Sharmander: Aw, Omanyte looks good.
Sohpie: So you like the fossils. Sharmander: Yeah, I don't know. probably because I like dinosaurs in some sense.
*laughs* Look at the lips! *stifles another laugh* Look at them! What the hell.
Woah, why is Tangela all like...? What...? Why did they make it woven? Shouldn't it be loose and like...?
Sophie: Because they had the choice I guess .
I saw a picture of this on Twitter recently and someone said that it had one leg band, and I can't believe I never noticed that until now.
Sophie: Oh, neither did I! Sharmander: Right? I didn't even notice that was there. Still so cute, yeah.
Sophie: Do you see his derpy tongue? Something about it, like...
Ehhhh.... definitely better than Goldeen's lips.
*Illuminati Theme*
What is that...? Is that an Easter basket?
It's like a box of candies, yeah! Awww!
The Ditto series is probably one of my favorites. LOVE the faces. I love that~!
This is why I ended up with 300 plushies in my old apartment. So I haven't bought in any yet
I have zero plushies in my house.
Uh, and I should probably keep it that way... but I want that purse so bad you guys. Like so, so freaking bad.
Oh, look at the neck pillows and Jigglypuff neck pillow! They're fit for the plane.
Saw some cute stuff all over here.
Oh, here it is. Yeah, this is so cute.
I've never seen glue tape. Sophie: Me neither.
That's so neat!
Well, actually it would be really good for photos... for a scrapbook. Washi tape is my obsession. Oh looks like a little comic strip on the top one. Aw, sh*t.
Oh, f*ck! This is so cute. Sophie: Oh my god.
Mofe Mofe Eevee: Fluffy Eevee. The Easter collection is great because the Pokemon are fluffy.
I wonder if they made large plushies of these?
Would be a good picnic bag.
*laughs* I know. I know... it's a shame.
It's hard finding a use for all these things.
But I want it all. I think I'm just gonna be good and just get this stationary which I will use for Patreon.
So it has a use, not wasting my money. *laughs*
What are you gonna get? Ah, same thing? *chuckles* So we ended up with the same thing.
No idea what this is. Doesn't say it. Just says "Puzzle Can"? Maybe there's a puzzle inside?
Little perfume bottles! I've never seen these before!
All right. I'm proud of myself. I'm leaving with just four letter packs. It's not much. I thought I would spend a lot more, so... *laughs*
All right guys~! I hope you enjoyed the day chilling with us at the Pokemon cafe and the Pokemon Center.
I'll have all the details down below in the description box.
If you guys want to come yourselves- remember you have to make a reservation online if you want to go to the Pokemon cafe.
So don't forget to do that. You can't just show up. And yeah, I guess that's it~!
♡ I will see you guys again very soon! Make sure to check out Sophie on Twitch, and thanks for watching ♡
