Question 1

Can I buy a single seat at a Tea Table?

Accepted Answer

No - tea tables are only sold as half tables (3 seats) or full tables (6 seats). If you’re attending solo or in a smaller group, please consider purchasing a VIP Priority Single Seat, which includes the same experience with individual service.

Question 2

Can I still reserve a half or full table even if I don't have enough friends to join me?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! - Reserving a half or full table means that your party cannot exceed the maximum amount of people for said table. If you have a party of 2 and would like a half table or even a full table you can still reserve it! Keep in mind that you still have to reserve either 3 or 6 seats.

Question 3

When should I arrive?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive 10-15 minutes before your session start time. Doors will close promptly at show start time — late arrivals will be admitted at our staff's earliest convenience. If you want to maximize your time at the maid cafe, please arrive early!

Question 4

Are dietary restrictions or allergies accommodated?

No - dekai chekis (large polaroids) are only available as an add on when reserving your session. Dekai chekis take more preparation because you'll be taking a picture with all maids and butlers. Regular chekis will be available for purchase on site if you wish to take a picture with one member.
