Growing up I wasn’t the hugest sanrio fan, but you can’t help but I can’t help but have a soft spot for Hello Kitty. So when I found out that a Hello Kitty Cafe (aka a food truck) was going to make a pop-up appearance, I had to check it out for myself.
I knew from Facebook that the Hello Kitty cafe truck had been sold out when it visited other cities in NorCal, so I ended up driving to Santana Row around 11am. One of my favourite places in San Jose. Sure enough the line was about 2 hours long, so I didn’t get anything for myself. Just walked around snapping a few photos of the pink truck :)
I feel like food trucks are a huge thing here in California, and many parking lots often fill up with gourmet food trucks on weekends like a tailgate party. An awesome way to try out new treats and food.
Who here is a huge Hello Kitty/Sanrio fan? If you’re around the Bay Area, I remember at the Great Mall in Milpitas there is a Sanrio store. I still haven’t went in yet, maybe soon!

cool truck, I wouldnt wait 2 hours to buy from it either, but nice that you were able to get some cool pics!
I love Hello Kitty and grew up with it too mainly because I’m also Asian! Hahaha! I love this idea of a cafe… I live in South Korea and there’s Hello Kitty themed cafe’s here as well. In Taiwan, there is a Hello Kitty Airlines. Cool huh?!
@Tanj from A Travelogue: I think I’ve heard of the HK airlines, that’s pretty cool!

That’s perfect for little girls? I wish I had a daughter because i am sure that would be the highlight of her week. So cute.
I am a BIG time Hello Kitty from long ago! I was not aware they currently had a truck! Thanks for highlighting this today as your blog post made me smile!
Hello Kitty always makes me smile! I didn’t realize they had a food truck – so cute! Makes me wish I had a granddaughter.

That is so cool! My sister is a huge Hello Kitty fan and would love that.
Is it just a bottle of water with a Hello Kitty sticker on it?

@Sheena: I saw people coming out with those. I think the water bottle was shaped like a bow. Kinda cute. $3 though lol.

@vidya sudarsan: Oh no! Sorry – this was like a 1 day thing for a few hours, back in early May! :( Though I do know they’re doing a tour and might come back up our way again.

What a cute looking van, imagine driving around in that! I’d love to visit that cafe and see what they have inside. Great photos!
When I was little I was in love with everything Sanrio, I wanted to work for the company and get discounts on all the cute little knick knacks and stickers… and honestly, that love hasn’t changed! I’m a huge Hello Kitty fan to this day and this cafe looks absolutely amazing, I want to visit today!
