| - A fun, relaxing, cute place for a meal. I enjoyed the homely atmosphere, the sweet food, and the conversations with the maids.
This contrasts with maid cafes in Japan, which seem to be busy, have interactions scripted, and are an aggressive cash grab. This maid cafe in Toronto is the exact opposite, and plays well with the local norms.
The menus are a bit confusing because they give you 3 different ones. Nonetheless, the cold desserts, the warm and filling food, and other items are worth getting. You will not be disappointed with the choices on the menu.
They officially call this place Uncle Tetsu's Japanese Angel Cafe, but everybody knows it as a maid cafe. Maybe such a name is too risque and has the wrong connotations. Either way, my friends keep coming back to this place and posting their photos on social media, showing their food, their adventures with friends, random posing, and the maid dances as well. People seem to like the place.
Unusually, the washrooms are gender-neutral - there are 5 small rooms that have their own toilet, sink, and mirror. I haven't seen this arrangement at any other public facility, and it seems to be done well.
