At Cheers One, you’re not simply paying for a meal. Instead, you’re also buying a ton of positive energy to brighten your possibly mundane day. With two branches – one located in Ginza and the other in Ikebukuro – Cheers One is a unique cheerleading cafe where your waiters and waitresses will serve you with the most genki of voices. They can even perform a cheer routine for you, if requested.

Cheers One has the motto “元気で明るいサーブで客様に元気をチャージします”, which translates to “charge customers up with positive energy through energetic and cheerful service”. The Ikebukuro branch opened in 2019, while the Ginza branch opened in 2020.

Despite its gimmicky premise, the cafe does serve some sweet treats that are worth checking out. For your first other, try out their seasonal fruit sandwich or their assortment of cakes.

While having your meal, you can interact with the cheerleaders. Take part in group cheers with them, get a high-five – after COVID-19 blows over – and even request them to perform at the venue.

If you cannot physically head down to Cheers One, you can still meet the cheerleaders virtually through their Virtual Cheergirl initiative here. Just book a performance online and subsequently view it on Zoom.
A 45-minute performance costs ¥6,000 (~USD54.86), while a 90-minute one costs ¥9,900 (~USD90.52). Requesting for an additional song performance costs ¥3,300 (~USD30.17).
While you are free to fill your stomach with delicious treats and happiness at Cheers One, do note that photography of the cheerleaders is not allowed. Place your phones down and enjoy the company of the cheerleaders genuinely.
