Hello Kitty Cafe Truck is rollin’ back into Tucson with new treats & merch

Oct 19, 20212 min read

If you’re a fan of the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile, or any of the unique local food trucks seen rollin’ around town, this should be fun to see in person, too.

The pink and multi-brightly colored Hello Kitty Cafe Truck is making its return to Tucson — stopping at La Encantada Shopping Center from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 23.

Sure, there’s going to be plenty of unique and limited merchandise coming out of this adorable cartoon on wheels, but you’ll have to check out the treats, too.

Being that the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck is celebrating another successful road trip so far — it’s the seventh year, to be exact — it’s rollin’ out new bites like its Signature Macaron Set. If you can get past the cuteness you’ll gladly chomp ’em down.

Also, the Cafe Truck is bringing along its Hand-Decorated Cookies Sets, Madeleine Cookie Sets, and Giant Hello Kitty Cafe Chef Cookies.

Oh, but the fun doesn’t stop there and it’ll have plenty of inedible items to purchase, too. For example, they’ll have neat merchandise like limited-edition collectibles, a Hello Kitty Cafe Pink Heart T-Shirt, a Hello Kitty Cafe Rainbow Thermos, Enamel Pin Sets, and Sprinkle Mugs.

Geesh, doesn’t the sound of all of that just tickle your fancy?

If you can’t make it to La Encantada in time to catch the fun, they’ll be heading up to Glendale on Saturday, November 6. It’s going to be up and running from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. at the Arrowhead Towne Center near the AMC Theater.

La Encantada Shopping Center is located at 2905 E. Skyline Dr. and the truck will be parked near the restaurants. For more information, visit the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck on Facebook.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
