Hello Kitty Japan Café

Pink Hello Kitty parfaits and lattes show up right in Domestic

In the Domestic terminal at New Chitose Airport, Hello Kitty Japan Café hooks Sanrio fans with character‑themed cakes, soft serve, and iced drinks tied directly to the Sanrio shop next door. Expect lots of pink, cartoon faces on cups and plates, and prices solidly in the mid range ($$) for an airport sweet stop. Think “paying for cute” more than paying for complex flavors.

The café sits airside in the Domestic area, so this is an easy stop on ANA, JAL, or Peach departures inside Japan. Collaboration designs and limited items rotate by season, so regulars who pass through CTS a few times a year often duck in just to see what new Kitty artwork showed up on cups, macarons, or packaging.

Figure on a themed drink or parfait running more than a standard chain coffee in Sapporo city, with some reviewers calling out high prices paired with small portions. A common move is one character latte or soda per person for photos, then snacks later somewhere cheaper in the terminal. Taste skews simple and sweet, closer to mall dessert than specialty patisserie.

Seat count isn’t huge, and people mention that it gets tight during school holidays and weekend midday waves, roughly 11:00–15:00. Families and teen groups linger for photos, so turnover slows. Many visitors switch to takeaway cups and carry the drinks down the Domestic concourse for shots in front of windows, gate signs, or the main CTS character displays.

Fans with a long connection often pair the café with the adjacent Hello Kitty Japan shop, checking both sweets and collaboration goods in one pass. Rating hovers around 3.5 stars, which matches the vibe: solid for theme photos, average on flavor. One practical move: decide your photo plan before ordering so you’re not juggling melting soft serve while trying to frame that boarding‑pass shot.
