If the mere mention of Unicorno, Donutella and Cactus Friends gets your kids (and you) excited, check out this Tokidoki pop-up cafe. It’s said to be the world’s first – even the characters’ Italian co-founder and chief creative officer Simone Legno flew in to officiate its March opening.

The team behind Kumoya, which previously collaborated with Cinnamoroll, Miffy and Care Bears, runs this cafe. Tuck into Instagrammable burger, curry rice and ramen, and slurp up fluffy cotton candy drinks – all curated by food artist, Shirley Wong, better known as Little Miss Bento.

The Tokidoki X Kumoya tieup will end in late June. Visit www.facebook.com/kumoyasingapore.
