San Antonio's Hello Kitty fanbase is in for a treat this weekend as the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck makes a much-anticipated pit stop at North Star Mall. For aficionados of the beloved feline character, the traveling cafe on wheels will be serving up a host of exclusive items from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, as KENS 5 reported.

In acknowledgment of Hello Kitty's 50-year global legacy, the truck will be parked at the corner of the Loop 410 access road and McCullough Avenue, where fans can get their hands on a dazzling array of merchandise, including exclusive collectibles like an iridescent tote bag and a spread of sugary treats—the 3-piece cookie set and a notably giant cookie are sure to catch eyes, according to KSAT.

Since its inception in 2014, San Antonio has welcomed the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck and its slew of fan favorites, such as the ceramic sprinkle mug and macarons; this year's stop is part tourism, part pilgrimage for the die-hard Kitty crowd. Among other items in the Hello Kitty haul are themed pins, patches, and apparel, including a ringer tee & lilac tee, as detailed by KENS 5.

Shoppers planning to nab some cute kitty swag should note that the truck is going cashless, accepting only debit or credit card payments for transactions. The Hello Kitty Cafe Truck, which has been on tour across U.S. cities bringing a slice of kawaii-culture to the masses, is ensuring that fans leave with both hands and hearts full of Hello Kitty history—alongside new limited-edition merchandise that celebrates the character's enduring charm half a century in the making.
