What is a Maid Café?
Maid cafés (メイドカフェ Meido kafe) are a subcategory of cosplay restaurants found predominantly in Japan. In these cafés, waitresses dressed in maid costumes act as servants, and treat customers as masters (and mistresses) in a private home, rather than as café patrons. The first permanent maid café, Cure Maid Café, was established in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan in March 2001, but maid cafés are becoming increasingly popular.

What is a Butler Café?
A Butler Café (執事喫茶 Shitsuji Kissa) is a themed café that presents the server staff as butlers who attend to the guests as they would aristocracy.  Traditionally, Japanese Butler Cafes are places where patrons can enjoy a simulated upper class experience while conversing over a cup of tea.  The Animethon Butler Cafe is an interactive themed experience that sees staff act as butlers for the entertainment of guests. During your time at the Butler Cafe, you can expect to witness serenades, dares, and kabedons galore.
