I Ate at the Hello Kitty Food Truck, and Here's What Happened

It'd be pretty hard to miss the cafe on wheels thanks to its bright pink paint job and mile-long line. OK, so it's not really that long, but when there are doughnuts at stake it certainly feels like it! A short-but-sweet menu (literally) advertises the truck's offerings, which include doughnuts, French macarons, petit four cakes, strawberry lemonade, and water bottles.

Though the prices are a bit steep for everyday dining, that's the price you pay for insanely adorable eats . . . right?

Despite the succinct menu, I had trouble deciding what to order — so I ended up with a box of doughnuts, some adorable cakes, and a strawberry lemonade to boot. Thankfully, my $29 order also came inside a pink fabric bag. I'd have had trouble carrying my haul back to the convention center otherwise!

My entire experience at the Hello Kitty Cafe truck was simply sweet, but I had yet to taste test and determine whether the novelty munchies were worth the wait! After all, how good can technicolored treats topped with bows actually taste?

I should never have doubted. When I finally found a spot to sit down and enjoy my long-awaited snacks, I wasn't disappointed — in fact, I was impressed with the moist sweetness of the petit fours and refreshing tartness of the strawberry lemonade.

While the bow-topped doughnuts were my least favorite purchase, they still made for a tasty (albeit supersweet) afternoon bite. And more importantly, the tasty treats from the mobile Hello Kitty Cafe were some of the prettiest treats I've ever eaten. Teenage boys even stopped to ask, "Where'd you get those? My girlfriend would die if I brought some back."
