Throughout the convention, the iconic pink truck will be parked at the Interactive Zone at Petco Park, serving up a menu full of fan-favorite treats. Attendees can indulge in fresh-baked macarons, buttery madeleines, and the oversized Hello Kitty Café Chef Cookie—perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself).
