How much does the Pokemon Cafe cost?
There is no entry fee at the Pokemon Cafe, but every guest orders from the menu, so the real cost is whatever you eat and drink. Here is what that actually comes to in 2026, with real menu prices, a typical per-visit total, and the souvenir prices, so you can budget before you go.
No admission fee, but each guest aged 6 and over must order at least one item. Mains are about £13, drinks £4 to £7, desserts £10 to £11. Two people having a main and a drink each come to roughly £37, and around £60 with a dessert and a souvenir glass. A family of four is about £68 before merchandise. Prices shift with the seasonal menu.
Is there an entry fee?
No. The Pokemon Cafe does not charge admission. What it has instead is a minimum order rule: every guest aged 6 and over must order at least one item, a food or a drink. So while there is no cover charge, a table of four will order at least four things. The cost of your visit is simply your menu total. (All figures below are approximate, converted at around 190 yen to the pound, and the cafe refreshes its menu and prices seasonally.)
Food prices (mains)
The themed main plates, the Pikachu curry, the Eevee rice plate, the character cutlet plates, sit in a tight band.
| Item | Yen | Approx £ |
|---|---|---|
| Character curry / rice / cutlet plate | 2,420 | ~£12.70 |
| Special combo plates (seasonal) | 2,640 | ~£13.90 |
So budget roughly £13 per main. Most guests order one each.
Drink prices
| Item | Yen | Approx £ |
|---|---|---|
| Basic juice (apple, orange, cola) | 715 | ~£3.80 |
| Character latte (hot or iced) | 935 | ~£4.90 |
| Float / smoothie / Moo Moo Milk | 1,155 - 1,265 | ~£6 - £6.70 |
| Drink that comes with a souvenir glass | 2,255 | ~£11.90 |
The character drinks are a big part of the appeal, and the ones that include a keepsake glass are the priciest, but you take the glass home.
Dessert prices
| Item | Yen | Approx £ |
|---|---|---|
| Themed parfait | 1,870 | ~£9.80 |
| Surprise Pokeball dessert bowl | 1,980 | ~£10.40 |
| Souffle pancake (varies by season) | 2,090 | ~£11.00 |
Desserts are optional but they are some of the most photogenic items, so most tables order at least one to share.
Souvenirs (optional)
You do not have to buy anything extra. Some drinks include a collectible cafe glass in the price, and each drink earns a free coaster through a small tableside game. If you want standalone merchandise, here is the rough range.
| Item | Yen | Approx £ |
|---|---|---|
| Rubber coaster (single, limit 3) | 825 | ~£4.30 |
| Poke Ball mug | 1,430 | ~£7.50 |
| Character plush | 2,640 | ~£13.90 |
| Themed plate or lidded bowl | 2,750 | ~£14.50 |
| Kids lunch plate set | 3,850 | ~£20.30 |
What a real visit costs
Putting it together, here is what people actually spend.
- Two people, a main and a drink each: roughly 6,700 to 7,200 yen, about £35 to £38.
- Two people with a shared dessert and a souvenir glass: around £60.
- Family of four, mains and drinks, no merchandise: about 13,000 yen, roughly £68.
Add a plush or a plate or two and a family visit can pass £90, but none of that is required. The floor is one item per person.
Where our £8 booking fee fits
Here is the honest perspective. The meal is the expensive part, £37 for two, £68 for a family, more with souvenirs. But the genuinely hard part is not the money, it is getting a table at all. Reservations release 31 days ahead at 6pm Japan time and sell out within seconds, so most people who want to go simply cannot get in.
That is the gap we fill. Our flat £8 fee secures the table for you, whatever the party size, and if we cannot get it you are refunded automatically. Next to a £60 day out, a £8 fee to make sure the day actually happens is the smallest line on the bill. You are not paying us for the meal, you are paying us to win the seat you could not get yourself.

How much does a typical visit cost?

Do you have to buy a souvenir?
No, souvenirs are optional. Some drinks include a keepsake glass in the price, and you get a free coaster with each drink. Standalone merchandise is extra only if you want it.
Why pay a booking service on top of the meal?
Because the table is the hard part, not the food. Reservations vanish within seconds of the 6pm release, so most people cannot get a seat at all. The booking fee secures it, and it is small next to what you will spend inside.
