With Pokémon Go mania still at an all time high, businesses are cashing in and coming up with crafty new ways to lure trainers in.

One that caught our eye (and stomachs) is The Loop, a specialty churros shop in Westminster, California.

The shop which opened in May is most known for its hand-crafted churros shaped into mouse ears. In late July, the shop teased pictures of a Pikachu-shaped churro which it dubbed the "Pikachurro."

The sweet treat was customised by food blogger, Daily Food Feed, during a visit to The Loop and features Pikachu's signature blushing cheeks and pointy ears.

Although the "Pikachurro" is not yet on the menu, The Loop has been advertising its shop as a PokéStop.

We can't think of a better way to refuel ourselves while stocking up on Poké Balls.
