I came here on a short little date on a very quiet Tuesday afternoon. I had heard of this maid cafe a few months ago and thought why not, because what could be better than desserts and cute girls?
When you first enter the building, you have to go upstairs in order to get to the fairly large seating area. Once there, my boyfriend and I were very enthusiastically greeted by the maids and were promptly seated. For this visit we ordered the regular vanilla parfait, the original lunar cake with maple sauce (which is exclusive to Toronto), a matcha latte, and a London fog. Both of the drinks were very good and were pretty large, but the desserts were pretty average. The lunar cheesecake to me tasted like a regular new york cheesecake (but more like a mousse if that makes sense?) and wasn't anything particularly amazing. The portion was also very small for the price you pay. The parfait was also nothing special for something that cost around $12. I didn't try the other desserts yet, but I have heard that the angel hats are very good, so maybe my rating will go up once I get my hands on one of those.
However, despite the desserts not quite living up to my expectations, I still think this cafe is worth checking out because the service here is so unique and cute. The maids are attentive and all extremely friendly. Not to mention, the drinks were not only tasty but also came with some great latte art. I got a snorlax on my matcha latte. Definitely worth coming here if you're in the area to get some drinks and experience the maid cafe culture.
