The Sanrio characters Kiki and Lala, or "little twin stars" themselves provide the majority of the theme for the cafe, with most of its menu items being obviously star-shaped. Kiki & Lala are Sanrio's second oldest characters, created just after the momentous success of [Hello Kitty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-hello-kitty). The cafe is opening in collaboration with THE GUEST cafe in Toyko's Shibuya Parco Part 1 mall. Some of the unusually star-shaped foods that you can eat at the Kiki & Lala Cafe include pasta, tiny little blue and pink burgers (the colors of Kiki and Lala), plus both sweet and cheesy pancakes, and get star-shaped sugar cubes for your drinks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cute-themed Cafes:** There is a growing trend of adorable themed cafes that offer unique and creative menu items. - **Collaborative Partnerships:** Collaborations between popular brands or characters can create exclusive and limited-time experiences for customers, driving interest and sales. - **Star-shaped Food:** Creative food shapes, such as star-shaped items, are becoming popular visual attractions in cafes and restaurants, adding an element of fun for customers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the trend of cute-themed cafes by creating unique and immersive experiences for customers. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore collaborative partnerships with popular brands to create limited-time menu items and promotions, attracting customers with unique offerings. - **Marketing and Branding:** Marketing and branding agencies can help businesses leverage the trend of star-shaped food by creating visually appealing content and campaigns that resonate with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon-Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-twin-stars-rooms.md) - [80s Animated Film Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koriko-cafe.md) - [Branded Celebratory Coolers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanrio-cooler.md) - [Cartoon-Inspired Cafe Overhauls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypebeans-1.md) - [Galactic Cafe Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Star-wars-themed-cafe.md) - [Cartoon Cat-Themed Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hello-kitty-2.md) - [Animated Fish Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hangyodon-theme-cafe.md) - [Nautical-Themed Cartoon Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spongebob-squarepants-cafe.md) - [Cartoon Cafe Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniverse-make-it-mini-food-hello-kitty.md)
