Flushing is getting a little sweeter — and a whole lot pinker.
The Hello Kitty Cafe Truck, a popular mobile pop-up known for its signature pink aesthetic and themed desserts, will make its only New York City appearance in Flushing on Saturday, May 3, as part of its 2025 national tour.
The truck will be parked outside The Shops at Skyview, located at 40-24 College Point Blvd., from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., near the mall’s main entrance. The Flushing stop is expected to draw Hello Kitty fans from all five boroughs eager to enjoy exclusive merchandise and photo-friendly sweet treats.
This year’s tour celebrates Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary and marks 10 years of the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck, bringing with it a brand-new line of limited-edition collectibles, including iridescent tote bags, anniversary hoodies, pins, keychains and more.
Visitors can also expect popular desserts like oversized chef cookies, 5-piece macaron sets, and Hello Kitty Madeleines, along with pastel-themed merchandise such as ceramic mugs, thermal bottles and ringer tees.
All purchases are credit or debit card only as the truck does not accept cash.
In addition to the Flushing event, the truck will visit Menlo Park Mall in Edison, N.J., on April 26 and Bridgewater Commons in Bridgewater, N.J., on May 10, but Flushing remains the only scheduled stop within New York City.
Hello Kitty fans are encouraged to arrive early, as the truck has developed a devoted following since its debut. Its visits often attract long lines of fans seeking a taste of Sanrio nostalgia and Instagram-ready moments.
