Queens Court Akihabara Maid cafe — Restaurant in Tokyo

When I was first seated at the counter, Rize (リゼ) immediately recognised the chibi firefly design on my shirt. She showed me an english introduction card and read the introduction to me while reading the katakana on the english. Afterwards she walked me through an english menu to order from.

I picked a newcomer set that gives a point card (point cards are called keys, which is basically an admission fee), 1 hour of time and choose between a dessert and a 2-shot picture (chieki). I also ordered an Omurice to go with it.

We started by casting a spell on the coke, which I was practicing with Rize before we did it while the other 3 middle-aged men there watched me do it.

I talked with Rize before they rotated around and I spoke with a few girls. All of them are cute and there are otakus there as well. I had a fun time talking with them, they seem accustomed to having to deal with the occasional non-Japanese speakers.

Rize drew Firefly (from star rail) for me on my omurice, she's pretty good at drawing. We took a photo after and she also drew firefly on the instax as well. The omurice was definitely cooked, and not some microwaved pre-packaged food, which is a huge plus despite a con cafe not being a place you normally go for food, but I will probably return here just for an afternoon snack if I can in the next few days before leaving Japan.

After eating, I think the shift changed so I talked with a few different girls I didn't see earlier. They were all very accommodating and didn't leave me alone for too long (They had to juggle their attention with the others but they made sure to come back to me).

There was a promotion to get an extra 30 minutes of time by giving them a review, the instructions did not mention it had to be a 5 star review, but I feel that they deserve 5 stars. I got a small dish of desserts as a reward out of it too :)

Sara (さら) walked me out to the elevator afterwards and waved me good...

クイーンズコートがいちばんすき！ I wanted a memorable maid cafe experience that didn't break the bank. If the experience reminded me of the tropes I saw in anime, extra points. I had been to other bigger cafes like maidreamin and at-home, but I felt like I didn't get to spend as much time interacting with the maids or others in the cafe as I wanted. I started learning Japanese a few weeks before I first came to the cafe, so I figured I could go to a cafe that wasn't being mentioned as much on travel blogs. However, I also had to be worried about expensive trap cafes that aren't very transparent about how much they charge and pressure you to buy a lot of perks and very expensive drinks. So I eventually came across this one. I ran into a maid from Queen's Court who helped me find a different cafe. I thought this was surprisingly nice given how many cafes there are scrapping for relatively few guests. So I ended up giving this cafe a visit. As soon as I walked in, I saw a bar setup (that you see in these photos) and a few maids greeting me cutely. I figured out this is a "concept cafe" where the maids were all trying to fit a particular theme. It was also notable that most of the guests here were Japanese businessmen. This was perfect. The slightly embarrassing things they made me do before downing my drinks was endearing. I especially loved にゃんさん and れもんさん, who drew really cute chocolate art on my desserts, drew ketchup art on my food, and talked to me despite that I was bad at Japanese. I went back to this cafe everyday until I sadly had to leave Japan. I'm going to...

It's the second maid café I went to, I will come back! The girls are really cute and funny too, I recommend Kurara-chan! She is new and very cute. We talked a lot about different interests it turns out we have in common. The other girls also came and introduced themselves and gave me a cute drawing. Even though my Japanese is not good they were very patient and nice. The omurice was very delicious and it's a fair price for all services. If you come on a rainy day you can get a bonus for the next time you come. Thank you for your hard...
