New Sanrio-themed Superstar Cafe at Universal Studios Singapore

If you’re a Sanrio lover, this is bound to make your eyes light up. And if you’re already heading to Universal Studios Singapore (USS), it’s an easy add-on to your itinerary — or it just might just be time to plan that next trip down to Sentosa.

The new Superstar Boutique & Cafe officially opens today (Apr 29), and it’s located just a short, straight walk from the theme park’s entrance.

The cafe offers adorable Sanrio-themed sweets and drinks. There isn’t much in the way of seating, just a few tables and bar stools, so it’s more of a quick stop in between attractions, rather than a dine-in spot.

Sanrio-themed desserts and drinks

The menu leans heavily towards sweets, so it’ll especially appeal to those with a sweet tooth.

The assorted bombolone (from S$9.50) comes in five flavours — mango, raspberry, blueberry, strawberry, and apple cinnamon — filled with fruit compote and vanilla diplomat cream, and finished with a dusting of icing sugar.

For something a little lighter, there’s the My Melody lychee & rose Swiss roll (from S$10) filled with rose and lychee cream, and Kuromi black sesame & vanilla Swiss roll (from S$10) filled with vanilla cream and nutty black sesame. Both are finished with white chocolate and icing.

Both the bombolones and Swiss rolls are also available as drink sets from S$18.

The Hello Kitty strawberry delight (from S$10) is a classic strawberry sponge shortcake layered with fresh strawberries, Chantilly cream, and a chocolate topping.

If you’re after a crunchy snack, the Hello Kitty’s popcorn (S$12) is a sweet caramel option.

There’s a selection of drinks, too.

If you’re in the mood for something refreshing, there’s the My Melody popping lemon Fizz (S$11.50) with konjac jelly, thyme, and dried lemon. There’s also the Hello Kitty green apple Freeze (S$11.50) with aloe vera and dried apple garnish.

You can get lattes here, if you need a little caffeine pick-me-up.

There’s the Pompompurin caramel latte (from S$10) and the Kuromi dark choco latte (from S$10), both come with a chocolate pretzel stick, and the Cinnamoroll vanilla latte (from S$10) that comes with a cinnamon stick.

If you’re keeping it simple, the usual americanos and lattes are available, too.

Sanrio merchandise 

While you wait for your order, head to the decked out Superstar Boutique right next door — a retail space stocked with all kinds of merchandise, from plush toys and stationery, to keychains, accessories, and apparel.

If you’re lucky, you might even catch a meet-and-greet session with Sanrio favourites Hello Kitty and Pompompurin.

This was a hosted tasting.
