Kirby Café (カービィカフェ; stylized as KIRBY CAFÉ) is a real-world official Kirby series-themed café in Japan, which first opened in August 2016. Right now, the Kirby Café is only available in Japan, with two permanent locations in Tokyo and Hakata. In addition, a smaller sub-set of the cafés, called Kirby Café PETIT (カービィカフェ プチ) is set to open on April 13th, 2023 in Tokyo and April 26th, 2023 in Osaka.

Overview

Kirby Café is, as the name suggests, a café themed after the Kirby series. However, despite being called a café, it more closely functions like a restaurant: there are many kinds of dishes on offer, from hamburgers and pizza to stroganoff and curry, as well as many drinks and desserts. Its decoration, branding, food, music, and even its backstory are all modeled after the series. Moreover, merchandise is predominant in the cafés: not only do many dishes and drinks include souvenirs such as plates and mugs, a plethora of exclusive merchandise is sold, both in the cafés themselves and in standalone Kirby Café stores near the restaurants.

Pop culture-themed cafés are a common trend in Japan, with other examples including the Pokémon Café, the Peanuts Café, the Moomin Bakery & Café, and Shining Moon Tokyo (a Sailor Moon café). Many of these themed cafés are limited-run, which included the initial Kirby Café. However, its continued support and popularity led to repeated extended runs and additional locations, eventually culminating in the opening of the first permanent Kirby Café in Tokyo in late 2019, and later of the second one in Hakata in 2020.

The permanent cafés continue to offer unique food and merchandise every couple of months, notably branding them as "Kirby Café Summer" during the summer and "Kirby Café Winter" during the winter, bringing in unique decorations and dishes themed after the seasons. Moreover, recent Kirby game releases are often represented in the cafés as temporary dishes. Old dishes are eventually phased out as time goes on, so the menu regularly changes.

According to the café's description, Kirby is its Chef (シェフ, not to be confused with Cook), and Waddle Dees work as Apprentice Chefs (みならいシェフ). Later on, Chef Kawasaki would be introduced as the Head Chef (料理長), bringing in exclusive dishes. Whispy Woods, who had always been prominently present in dishes, eventually became part of the café's story as a source of food, and is a central piece of decoration in the current café locations. Other fan-favorite characters, such as King Dedede and Meta Knight, are often featured in promotional artwork for the café, implied to be customers. They are also represented through dishes that they enjoy: for example, Meta Knight enjoys coffee and chocolate desserts, while King Dedede enjoys meaty dishes and seafood.

As of now, all Kirby Café locations are reservation only, meaning that anyone who wishes to have a meal there has to reserve a table around a month in advance. Reservations often sell out quickly, as they are always in high demand. While it's possible to enter without a reservation if an existing reservation was canceled, it's not always a guarantee. If visiting without a reservation, guests can instead opt for the take-out menu, which features a smaller selection of dishes. Reservations aren't required to visit the Kirby Café stores. There are also a handful of "Kirby Café PETIT" locations that only serve take-out desserts, and don't require reservations.

Timeline

Original run

Period: August 3rd, 2016 ~ October 30th, 2016

Kirby Café was first hosted by Sparkle & Co. in three cities during 2016. Besides the café, official shops also opened to sell goods.

• In Tokyo, at Tokyo Solamachi, Kirby Café and the official shop were hosted from August 26th to October 30th, at Cafeteria Frezza (カフェテリア・フレッツァ) and on a "special location" respectively. Starting from October 11th, the store was moved to the same location as the café.
• In Osaka, at LUCUA Osaka, Kirby Café was hosted from August 5th to September 25th, at Cafe La Pause, while the official shop was hosted from August 3rd to August 23rd at Isetan.
• In Nagoya, at Nagoya PARCO, only the official shop was hosted from August 24th to September 4th.

The 12 acoustic music arrangement tracks used in the café were released on CD as The Sound of Kirby Café on August 3rd, 2016 — the same day the Isetan shop in Osaka opened.

Tokyo (permanent location)

After a hiatus in 2017, Kirby Café and its shop reopened in Tokyo on September 27th, 2018, now hosted by BENELIC CO., LTD. and featuring an entirely new menu. This café required reservations in advance. A story was also made for the café, with four chapters, referencing the fact that the café once existed and was reopening.

Chapter 1

Period: September 27th, 2018 ~ February 17th, 2019

The plot involves Chef Kawasaki joining the café, who after seeing Whispy Woods' apples had ideas for new recipes, and so went after Kirby and the Waddle Dees.

Story of Kirby Café, chapter 1

カービィカフェが、もういちどはじまるまで カービィとワドルディたちがちからを合わせてオープンした、カービィカフェ。 せっせと働くワドルディと、つまみ食い担当(？)のカービィがおもてなしするしあわせな空間は、またたく間にプププランド中に、そして遠くの星にも知れわたる特別な場所になりました。 そんなカービィカフェが再びオープンする日をみんなが心待ちにしながら、あきれかえるほど平和な月日は流れ……、ついにその時がやってきました。 新レシピのアイデアを考えながら森を散歩するコックカワサキの目の前に、リンゴをたわわに実らせたウィスピーウッズが……。周囲の木の実やくだものは、いつにもまして色とりどりに輝いています。 よし！ 次々とわき上がるアイデアがあふれないうちにと、カワサキは、カービィとワドルディのもとへ走りだしました。 さあ、 新しいカービィカフェのはじまりです。 Until the Kirby Café Opens Again Through their combined efforts, Kirby and the Waddle Dees opened the Kirby Café. It was a happy place where guests were welcomed by diligent Waddle Dees and Kirby, who was in charge of eating snacks(?). In the blink of an eye, this special spot became well-known throughout Dream Land and even on distant planets. As everyone looked forward to the day the Kirby Café would open again, the months passed by in astonishing peace... and now, the time has finally arrived. While Chef Kawasaki was out on a walk, thinking of ideas for new recipes, he came across Whispy Woods, whose leaves were full of apples. The nuts and fruits on the surrounding trees were more colorful than ever. Of course! Bursting with inspiration, Kawasaki rushed over to Kirby and the Waddle Dees. And so, a new Kirby Café begins.

Chapter 2

Period: February 27th, 2019 ~ June 2nd, 2019

Originally planned to end on February 17th, Kirby Café entered Chapter 2 with the plot of Chef Kawasaki going on a "journey in search of taste", after he, Kirby and the Waddle Dees struggle to come up with coherent ideas for the Café. Kasawaki goes towards Mt. Dedede, until halfway through he finds a coffee plantation, and he, along with Kirby who had followed him, finally figure out what they should do. The menu was also expanded with new dishes.

Story of Kirby Café, chapter 2

カービィカフェとコーヒーのお話 帰ってきたカービィカフェは、ふたたび満員、まんぷくの大盛況！ そんなある日……カービィとワドルディと料理長のコックカワサキは、「みんなにもっと楽しんでもらいたい！」と、いろんなアイデアを出しあいました。でも、なかなか考えがまとまりません。 そこでカワサキは、“味のたんきゅうの旅”に出ることにしました。 向かう先は、山頂にデデデ大王のお城がそびえ立つ、デデデマウンテン。とちゅう、大きな茂みにはばまれながらも、すきまを見つけ、おそるおそる進んでいくと…… なんと、そこには広大な農園が！コーヒーチェリーの赤くかがやく実をつけた、たくさんの木がならんでいます。 これだ！ カワサキは、あとを追ってきたカービィとわくわく顔を見あわせながら、カフェに向かって大いそぎで山をかけおりました。 カービィカフェ、第２章のはじまりです！ The Story of Kirby Café and Coffee The Kirby Cafe is back, and with a full stomach of success, it's packed again! Then, one day... Kirby, Waddle Dee, and head chef Kawasaki thought, "We want everyone to have even more fun!", and began brainstorming many different ideas. But they couldn't quite get their heads together. Therefore, Kawasaki decided to embark on a "Journey in Search of Taste". His destination was Mt. Dedede, where Castle Dedede towers at the peak. When the path forward was blocked by a big bush, he found a gap and proceeded with caution... Wow, what a huge farm! There were rows of trees with bright red coffee cherries. That's it! Kawasaki hurried back down the mountain to the café, and eagerly locked eyes with Kirby, who had tagged along. The second chapter of Kirby Café begins!

Chapter 3

Period: June 11th, 2019 ~ September 23rd, 2019

Originally planned to end on June 2nd, Kirby Café was extended until September 23rd under the title Kirby Café Summer. The plot of this chapter involves King Dedede, who became a regular customer at the café, inviting the Kirby Café staff to his summer resort, as a thanks to all their hard work. Kirby and company head to the resort, have fun there, and come back with inspiration for new dishes. Time-limited dishes were introduced on the summer menu. This was the final run for the temporary Tokyo café, which ended up lasting for about a year.

Story of Kirby Café, chapter 3

カービィカフェ Summer！ ふたたびカービィカフェがオープンして、はじめての夏がやってきました。 これまで、たくさんのなかまたちがプププランドじゅうからやってきましたが、なかでもデデデ大王は、今ではすっかりカービィカフェのじょうれん客です。 そんなデデデ大王から、ある日、カービィたちに１通の招待状がとどきました。なんと、カービィカフェのスタッフたちの日ごろのがんばりをねぎらい、デデデ大王がもつ常夏のリゾートにみんなを招待してくれるというのです！ 「大王の…？」 いつからあの島がそうなったのかとみんな首をひねりましたが、そんなことはともかく、カービィたちは大はしゃぎ！ うきわに、シャベルに、シュノーケル…。つめられるだけ道具をもって、お店は“しばらくおやすみ”にして、お日さま降りそそぐビーチへレッツゴー！ 常夏のお日さまの光を浴び、たっぷりとインスピレーションをえてもどってきたカービィたちがおくる“夏のカービィカフェ”を、どうぞおたのしみに！ Kirby Café Summer! The Kirby Café has opened again, and its first summer has arrived. So far, many friends have visited from all over Dream Land, but among them, King Dedede has become a frequent visitor. One day, Kirby and his friends received an invitation from King Dedede. Surprisingly, in a show of thanks for the hard work the Kirby Café staff puts in every day, they've been invited to a resort where summer never ends, owned by King Dedede! "Owned by the King...?" Nobody knows when the island fell under his rule, but either way, Kirby and friends will have a blast! Floaties, a shovel, a snorkel... Grab as much gear as you can, take some "time off" from the store, and let's go hit the sun-drenched beach! Taking back plenty of inspiration from the everlasting summer sun, Kirby and friends will return with a "Summer Kirby Café"!

Chapter 4

Period: December 12th, 2019 ~ indefinite

Due to its continued popularity, a permanent Kirby Café was opened in Tokyo in December of 2019, at the same Tokyo Solamachi location. The storyline involved Kirby and Chef Kawasaki moving the café to be closer to Whispy Woods, who is prominently featured in the new chapter's branding and appears as a statue in the permanent café.

Story of Kirby Café, chapter 4

カービィカフェ、グランドオープンのお話 カービィカフェのとれたてでおいしい食材は、ワドルディたちが毎朝カフェまでせっせと運んでいます。 そんなようすを見ていたカービィが、ある時ふとひらめきました。 翌日の朝早く、カービィは、なんとカフェのテーブルやイス、キッチン用品からお店の看板までひとりでかつぎ上げ、ウィスピーウッズの森に向かって歩きはじめたのです。 びっくりしたのは開店準備にやってきた早番のワドルディ。カービィカフェが、影もかたちもないのですから。 さらにびっくりしたのは収穫にやってきたワドルディ。ウィスピーウッズのまわりに、カフェの道具が山のように積みあげられています。 と、そこへカービィがやってきました。コックカワサキがすっぽり入った大きな鍋をにこにこ顔でかつぎあげています。 そんなカービィの顔を見たとたんにみんなの表情がパッと明るくなりました。 「……そうかっ！」 「朝の収穫がとってもカンタン！」 「カービィ、ナイスアイデアだね！！」 こうして、ウィスピーウッズのまわりにふたたびお店が完成しました。 さあ、あたらしいカービィカフェのはじまりです！ The Story of the Kirby Café's Grand Reopening The Waddle Dees diligently harvest fresh, delicious ingredients for the Kirby Café every morning. One day, Kirby had an idea while watching them work. Early the next morning, Kirby packed everything up all by himself — the café tables, chairs, kitchen utensils, and shop signboards — and made his way towards Whispy Woods' forest. This was a shock to the morning shift Waddle Dees, who came in to prepare for the opening. The Kirby Café wasn't even a shadow of its former self. But the Waddle Dees who came to harvest the ingredients were even more shocked. Café equipment was piled up like a mountain around Whispy Woods. Then came Kirby. He was carrying a huge pot, filled to the brim by Chef Kawasaki, with a big grin on his face. As soon as they saw Kirby's smile, everyone's faces lit up. "...Oh, I get it!" "Now the morning harvest is much easier!" "Great thinking, Kirby!" Just like that, the shop had its grand reopening right next to Whispy Woods. And so, a new Kirby Café begins!

Also included was a new set of 15 acoustic music arrangements, The Sound of Kirby Café 2, which released on the same day as the permanent café's opening.

Hakata (permanent location)

Chapter 1

Period: August 8th, 2019 ~ November 4th, 2019

A temporary Kirby Café and store location opened in Canal City Hakata, Fukuoka in August of 2019. The Hakata location shares its storyline and décor with the Tokyo location, but some menu items are mutually exclusive.

Chapter 2

Period: November 14th, 2019 ~ February 24th, 2020

The café had a brief hiatus in order to remodel between the 5th and 13th of November, and the store also did not operate during this time. It closed on February 24th, 2020 to remodel again, this time to become a permanent location.

Chapter 3

Period: March 12th, 2020 ~ indefinite

As with the Tokyo café, the Hakata café proved popular enough to remain open indefinitely, meaning that there are currently two permanent Kirby Café branches running in Japan. The Hakata café reopened on March 12th, 2020 and has been regularly operating since then.

Other locations

Nagoya (temporary location)

Period: September 15th, 2022 ~ February 5th, 2023

Previously only having a store, a temporary café was opened in Nagoya, in the same department store as the store from 2016, but in a different location.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Main article: Waddle Dee Café

In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, a café partially based on Kirby Café called Waddle Dee Café appears in Waddle Dee Town. Here, in addition to an Energy Drink and Maxim Tomato, Kirby can order either a Car-Mouth Cake, which was made available as a dish in the real-world Kirby Café after the game's release, called the "ヘンケイ！くるまほおばりケーキ" (Mouthful Mode! Car-Mouth Cake), or a Kirby Burger, which resembles the physical "カービィバーガー" (Kirby Burger) family of dishes and may have been directly based off them.

There is also a Sub-Game located at the café, called Waddle Dee Café: Help Wanted!, where Kirby has to serve the aforementioned dishes to Waddle Dees in quick succession.

Kirby's Dream Buffet includes two costumes and a color referencing Kirby Café, specifically being taken from the Waddle Dee Café in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The Kirby Burger costume and the Burger Brown color are both based on the Kirby Burger, while the Car-Mouth Cake costume is based on the eponymous dessert.

Trivia

• Kirby Café Hakata features strawberries in various location-specific menu items and designs, reflecting Fukuoka Prefecture's history of cultivating signature varieties of Japanese strawberries like Toyonoka and Amaō.
• When reserving their table, dine-in customers can request a personalized birthday message written in chocolate sauce alongside their dessert order. They can choose to either be congratulated silently, or have special music playing and the entire café joining in celebration.
  • The music that plays in the café during this event is an orchestral version of "Happy Birthday" remixed with the Green Greens theme, and is the only Kirby Café music track not included in either The Sound of Kirby Café or The Sound of Kirby Café 2.
  • In addition to the birthday message, customers can receive a birthday coaster as a present if they show identification proving that their birth month coincides with their visit.
• The Tokyo location of Kirby Café: The Store features a drawing of Chef Kirby signed by Shinya Kumazaki and HAL Laboratory staff that worked on The Sound of Kirby Café 2, namely the composers (Yuuta Ogasawara, Hirokazu Ando, Jun Ishikawa, Shogo Sakai, Megumi Ohara, Yuki Shimooka) and producers (Yuri Shiono and Shinji Okada).
