Pompompurin Cafe & at-home cafe: Harajuku’s kawaii cafe collaboration is here to stay

Some of our grape Japan readers will probably recognize the maid cafe chain at-home cafe (previously stylized as @home cafe) with two locations in Akihabara and one in Osaka, operated by Infinia Co., Ltd. In addition to an on-site report last year, we introduced their venture into the field of virtual entertainment with Virtual at-home Cafe.

Meanwhile, those who are more interested in kawaii characters than maids may have paid closer attention to the cafe's collaborations with Sanrio characters such as Hello Kitty, My Melody and Cinnamoroll.

They've also teamed up with another Sanrio character, Pompompurin, but now it looks like they're going to give him special attention.

If you're a fan of the laid-back Golden Retriever with the cute beret and a sweet tooth, you may have already heard (or perhaps even visited) the Pompompurin Café on Takeshita Street, Harajuku, one of three cafes in Tokyo, but now, Infinia Co., Ltd. has stepped in as producers, creating a permanent collaboration, officially opening on April 14th, 2021.
