If you’re a fan of Super Mario – the king of video games – going to Universal Studios Japan to visit Super Nintendo World is definitely a cool idea for your next trip to Japan. Even better, try taking some time to enjoy the meals and drinks at some of Super Nintendo World’s restaurants for a memorable experience. Let’s take a brief look into the dining experience at Super Nintendo World’s Mario Cafe and Toad Cafe.

About the Mario Cafe and Toad Cafe

Mario Cafe

Even though Super Nintendo World was suspended in 2020, the Mario Cafe officially opened in October of the same year! It’s unique to Universal Studios Japan, offering the Super Mario experience unavailable at other Japanese amusement parks. Coming to this Mario-themed cafe, you’ll indulge in Super Mario’s world.

The inside of the Mario Cafe has a colorful brick-themed background! Numerous recognizable items and characters from this famous video game are on the walls! The most common items include square brick blocks, an adorable Super Star, and even a neon Piranha Plant!

More impressively, the food ordering area draws your attention with displays and staff. The menu of food and beverages is eye-catching, with golden coins hung up and Mario’s and Luigi’s caps displayed.

Since the Mario cafe is a kind of fast-casual diner and lines can be very long, it’s recommended that you get your food and take it somewhere else outside. Then, you can dig in at your leisure.

Is all this talk about the Mario Cafe making you wanna leap for food? Let TokyoTreat help you out with that! TokyoTreat sends tasty and exclusive Japanese noodles, sweets, snacks, drinks, and much more right to your door in one convenient box. Enjoy a taste of Japan wherever you are!

Toad Cafe

This restaurant was named after Toad – the long-time servant of Princess Peach, one of the cutest Nintendo characters, and also the head chef of this fine establishment. Fun fact: His original Japanese name is Kinopio, so the cafe is also called the Kinopio Cafe. Having a full meal at the Toad Cafe will certainly give a lot of power to both your body and mind.

The outside of this restaurant really looks like a giant polka-dot mushroom, and the inside will attract customers with a wooden style complete with wood furniture. Unlike the Mario Cafe, the Toad Cafe is a bigger restaurant with a spacious, cozy, and full-furnished area for customers to dine in. 

And don’t forget to meet and greet Chef Toad and watch the inside of Toad’s kitchen via an artificial window when walking through the entrance. Plus, you can easily see various cute power-up items like the Fire Flower and Super Mushroom, appearing almost everywhere in the restaurant.  

Must-Try Menu Items

Mario Cafe

There aren’t so many options among the iconic food and drinks at the Mario Cafe. However, you have to try at least one of the two pancake sandwiches in the shape of Mario and Luigi’s cap. If you’re a strawberry person, go with Mario’s cap (Strawberry Shortcake). Or if you love muscat flavor, Luigi’s savory cap (Grape No-bake Cheesecake) is surely made for you. 

In addition to the sweet sandwiches, you should have a cup of fruity Italian cream soda. There are three different flavors of creamy soda for you: peach, strawberry, and green apple. Each flavor is relevant to one of three characters in Super Mario: Princess Peach, Mario, and Luigi. With every sip, you’ll also find more delicious specialties in this drink, so don’t hesitate to try. 

Also, there are plenty of popular drinks on the menu, ranging from soft drinks to teas, to expand your options. You can also choose either hot or cold for some of the drinks on the menu. And if you’d like your drink stored in a lovely Super Mushroom drink bottle, you can get it from the cafe for an extra charge.

Toad Cafe

A big diner like the Toad Cafe will never disappoint you because of the diversity in its menu. All of the dishes look really unique, tasty, and harmonious. Each of them is presented in a very fun way and is inspired by the characters in Super Mario.

The food and drinks at Toad Cafe are definitely great and delicious, but here’s a quick recommendation for your blissful dining experience at the restaurant: 

Appetizer: Super Mushroom Pizza Bowl with Mushroom Tomato Sauce

Soup: Mushroom Soup

Salad: Piranha Plant Caprese

Main course: Mario’s Bacon Cheeseburger

Dessert: Question Block Tiramisu

Beverage: Super Star Hot Yuzu Lemonade

The Best Things To Do 

First, please remember to find the Question Block inside the Mario Cafe, then hit it from the bottom to see what will happen. It can also be fun to kill time while waiting in line to order. Don’t forget to stop by the Mario Cafe store to get yourself and your friends some cute souvenirs.

Also, when you visit the Toad Cafe, don’t forget to activate your power-up band to gain secret items from the gift box inside the restaurant. Go and find it!
