IGN reports that a Kirby-themed eatery entitled Kirby Café is scheduled to open in Japan in August. The August 2016 opening date is currently listed on the Kirby Café website.
The website has no other information available (although it does feature some cute designs, including what appears to be Kirby in a chef’s hat). However, the tweet below indicates that potential customers will learn more soon:

In related Kirby news, the latest game in the franchise, Kirby: Planet Robobot, launched on June 10. Those who have yet to purchase the game can read GameSkinny’s review to find out if the new Robobot Armor is a boost or a hindrance to the beloved series. Interested parties can also decide for themselves visually by watching an overview trailer of the game.
