Claw Bae (8433 Lockwood Ridge Rd.) is a fast-casual eatery offering a unique experience that’s fun for all ages. Sip from an array of exquisite teas, munch on Japanese-style doughnuts and Korean corndogs, and test your luck on one of the many claw machines. Hazed in the pink glow of the claw machines, Claw Bae is a throwback to childhood outings to the arcade, especially for Pokémon and anime fans. Testifying to the popularity of that nostalgia, Claw Bae has exploded on social media.

While primarily a Japanese-style doughnut shop, the social media sensation offers a wide range of teas: boba, oolong, matcha, and milk teas, among many other options. The Korean corndogs’ unique flair makes them a fun addition, a veritable prize of their own among the prizes you can win at the numerous claw machines lined up along the walls.

While sipping tea and snacking, customers can test their luck on the claw machines. The prizes inside include plushies and toys, as well as Pokémon and Nintendo characters. The claw machines require tokens, which you can purchase in the shop. Claw Bae seamlessly combines fun, food, and nostalgia in a neat new eatery that’s well worth a few fumbled attempts craning a prize up with a claw.
