Maid Café

A Maid Café is a type of cosplay restaurant found predominantly in Japan.

In these cafés, waitresses dress in maid costumes and act as the household servants of their customers; referring to them as "Master/Mistress" and generally acting in a sub-servile manner.

Trivia

 * After being forced to wear one of Meroune's Gothic Lolita Fashion outfits, Ren Kunanzuki had taken a liking to wearing frilly dresses and so opted to work at a maid cafe so that she could wear frilly dresses as a uniform.
 * The first permanent maid café, Cure Maid Café, was established in Akihabara, Tokyo, in March 2001.
 * The male equivalent of the "Maid Café" is the "Butler Café", which acts in a similar manner to the "Maid Café" but with male waiters dressed as butlers instead of female waitresses dressed as maids.
