Article Summary

  • Pac Man Cafe returned to San Diego Comic-Con, celebrating Pac-Man's 45th anniversary in style.
  • Fans enjoyed themed food like mango shaved ice and spicy noodles, plus a fun, family-friendly atmosphere.
  • Located at 323 Seventh Ave, the pop-up offered retro arcade games, photo ops, and exclusive giveaways.
  • Special Pac-Man–wrapped vehicles offered free slushies and sticker sheets through the Flywheel app promotion.

You can also have your pick from sweet or spicy noodles with chicken, which is also very tasty."  Martin Weingarten tells me that it was "not crowded- kid friendly, mostly parents with very little kids. Shaved ice, good, colorful"

Timed to San Diego Comic-Con, arcade game character Pac-Man celebrated his 45th anniversary with a one-of-a-kind pop-up café experience just steps from the SDCC convention centre. The Pac-Man Café was open to the public at 323 Seventh Ave, transforming into a retro-meets-modern gaming hub filled with photo ops, nostalgic arcade games, themed food and drink, and exclusive giveaways. They also offered transportation to the event in their Pac-Man–wrapped vehicles through on the Flywheel app, for a whole month, with a free 45th Anniversary sticker sheet and a promo code for a free slushie at the Pac-Man Café…
