Inside the Zootopia 2 Pop-Up Cafe That Has Japan Going Crazy

Zootopia 2 isn’t just dominating the box office—it’s taking over cafes across Japan in the most adorable way possible.

As the Disney sequel continues to smash records (the film opened November 26, 2025), Japanese fans can now fully immerse themselves in the world of Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps at brand new themed pop-up cafes launching in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.

What’s Inside the Zootopia 2 Cafe

Japanese themed cafe
Themed cafes are a cultural phenomenon in Japan.

OH MY CAFE, Japan’s premier destination for character-themed dining experiences, has partnered with Disney to create an immersive Zootopia 2 experience that goes far beyond your typical movie tie-in.

Reservations opened on December 4, 2025, with a ¥770 (approximately $5 USD) reservation fee per person. And trust us—you’ll want to book ahead. These themed cafes have a history of selling out fast.

The Menu

While specific menu items are still being revealed, OH MY CAFE’s previous Disney collaborations give us a hint of what to expect:

  • Character-themed drinks featuring Nick and Judy
  • Adorable food presentations you’ll almost feel bad eating
  • Limited-edition desserts inspired by scenes from the film
  • Themed main courses representing Zootopia’s diverse districts

Exclusive Merchandise

This is where fans really lose their minds (and wallets). The cafe will feature:

  • Acrylic stirrers – Perfect for your desk or collection
  • Coaster stands – Functional fandom
  • Cup and saucer sets – Bring Zootopia home
  • Mystery acrylic keychains – Gotta collect ’em all
  • Graphic pillow covers – For the dedicated fan
  • Eco bags – Sustainable and stylish

Why Japan Does Themed Cafes Best

If you’ve never experienced a Japanese character cafe, you’re missing out on a cultural phenomenon. Japan has perfected the art of the themed dining experience, with cafes dedicated to everything from Pokémon to Studio Ghibli to Sanrio characters.

What sets them apart:

  • Incredible attention to detail – Every element, from the napkins to the bathrooms, stays on theme
  • Instagram-worthy presentation – These cafes understand social media
  • Limited-time exclusivity – Creating urgency and collectibility
  • Quality that matches the hype – The food actually tastes good

The TikTok Connection

Zootopia 2’s pop-up cafe launch comes at the perfect time. The film has been dominating TikTok with the “Zootopia couples trend,” where real-life couples recreate the Nick and Judy dynamic, celebrating their own unlikely pairings.

Expect the cafe to become a major destination for these couples—and for the content to flood your For You page.

About Zootopia 2

The sequel follows rookie cops Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) as they investigate a mystery involving Gary De’Snake, voiced by Ke Huy Quan. The film also features Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, Idris Elba, Quinta Brunson, and Shakira returning as Gazelle.

A major addition: Unlike the first film where all characters were mammals, Zootopia 2 introduces reptiles to the world, expanding the universe in exciting ways.

Can’t Make It to Japan?

If a trip to Japan isn’t in the cards, you can still bring some Zootopia energy to your coffee routine:

  • Create your own themed latte art (carrot-shaped for Judy, anyone?)
  • Host a Zootopia movie marathon with themed snacks
  • Try a “pawpsicle” inspired frozen coffee drink
  • Look for official Zootopia 2 merchandise at Disney stores

The cafe is yet another example of how Disney continues to create immersive experiences that extend far beyond the theater—and how coffee culture and pop culture continue to merge in delicious ways.
