This is totally unexpected.
A unique pop-up café is letting customers live out their maid fantasy for only $25 USD.
The “Cafe Where You Can Become a Maid” in Japan offers a 90-minute immersive experience where guests dress in elegant long maid outfits and serve tea and cake. Unlike typical maid cafés, the “customers” are actually staff members.
Participants can change into multiple maid outfits and take souvenir photos capturing their maid persona.
The experience has been particularly popular with men and has attracted attention across social media. Many visitors praised the event for being fun and stress-free, allowing them to enjoy the role without dealing with real patrons.
Despite being a limited-time pop-up, demand has far exceeded availability, making reservations hard to secure.
