We are seeing a surge of cute characters theme cafe in Singapore popping up in the late first and early second quarter of 2016. Will this be a continual, sustainable trend? Let’s observe!
Characters Theme Cafe In Singapore
A common traits with characters cafe is that they attracts queue when they started and when the trend fad, queue is missing.

Pokemon Cafe @ EWF is the latest addition of a cute characters theme cafe in Singapore after the Hello Kitty Orchid Garden and the recent Pompomurin Cafe. A pity it is only a pop-up available for a limited period of time. It will begin from 27 May 2016 to 31 July 2016.
The cafe serves a very limited menu with 4 Mains, 4 desserts and 4 beverages.

Queue has been forming since its launched on 29 April. I am not familiar with Pompompurin but I understand that it is a Golden Retrieve. It serves lots of food worthy for the square.
Characters Cafe
Dhoby Xchange #B1-36, Singapore 238826

This may be lesser known to most since its interior decoration does not attract. It is neither cute nor hipster. But it serves food with cute characters. To dine there, isn’t as convenience. You can’t pop in whenever you feel like it. You need to purchase the dinning voucher.

NAHMJ Verdict
May be a good way to have the characters cafe is to have it as pop-up with different characters each time. One good mode is to have it during the 2 major school holidays. I see that this works well especially in Hong Kong.
