Nintendo’s iconic pink powerhouse brings summer flavors and refreshing vibes to Japan’s official Kirby Cafes starting July 1 until September 20 according to the establishment's official website. The café boasts a highly varied menu inspired by new game releases, events, or, in this case, the changing of seasons. As the summer heat hits the people, Kirby welcomes customers with a plethora of fun-filled treats. Check out the menu here!
