“Monster Girls”

For a 500 yen entrance fee visitors can spend 90 minutes inside the overwhelmingly adorable design. You step into inside, you can see oversized macarons as wall decorations, a bubble tea large enough to bathe in, a birthday cake merry-go-round, and unicorns, bunnies, and kitty cats everywhere. The shop is staffed by five so-called “Monster Girls”—Baby, Dolly, Candy, Nasty, and Crazy, it seems their names are not indicative of their customer service skills. You needn’t have any anxiety on this point.

Partly poisonous-looking

The concept of the cafe is next-generation’s Kawaii. The inside of the cafe is filled with the art objects of the colorful animal and mushroom form, and the shortcake-shaped merry-go-round turns to the center. It is poppy and colorful, and partly poisonous-looking.
