The maker is a server at the cafe and when I spoke to her about them she said that since she put them on display for sale in November of last year she has had a lot of request for special order Amigurumi.
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of crocheting or knitting small stuffed animals or anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from the Japanese words for knitted or crocheted and stuffed doll.

The following examples were found on a site called Amigurumi Kingdom and are available for purchase:
