How It Works

Your first maid café, in 3 easy steps

A "concept café" (kon-kafe) is a Japanese café & bar where costumed staff — called casts — chat with you while you enjoy drinks. Here is all you need to know.

01

Enter & pay the cover charge

Just walk in — no reservation needed. The cover charge is for 1 hour of seating and includes 1 drink. Feel free to tell the staff it's your first visit.

02

Order drinks & chat with the casts

Choose an all-you-can-drink course (alcohol or soft drinks) and enjoy talking with the casts. They will happily lead the conversation, so don't worry about your Japanese.

03

Optional: cheki photo & cast drinks

If you like, take a cheki (instant photo) with a cast, or buy a drink for your favorite cast. These are completely optional — never required.
