| - Akiba Kissa truly is one of a kind!
I think (keyword 'think') Akiba Kissa is the first manga/anime cafe here in Ontario!
I've been here 3 times, and I've enjoyed every single visit. Rows and rows of various mangas for you to choose from, tons of comfy seating for you and your friends to lounge in, a change room for you to change into cosplay, and an arcade style room.
From first entrance, you are welcomed by many tasteful anime posters (the shonen girls one is my fav) and then you are entered into the main room. The staff is always friendly with a welcoming smile on their face. There are different payment options to choose from. There's the $12 for an hour (i believe its $12), $15 for the whole day (no in and out privileges) and $20 for the whole day with in and out privileges. All price packages include a drink from their menu! I learned on my first visit here, that an hour is never enough for me, with or without company.
On my last visit I had purchased the $15 option, and ended up staying nearly 5 hours. Time just goes by so fast when you're at Akiba Kissa! My review will mainly be upon this most recent visit.
I came by, picked my drink and also a dessert. The last time around, I had gotten their hot chocolate with this super tasty marshmallow whipped cream and their coffee panna cotta. I'll admit, the hot chocolate isn't anything out of this world, but I don't really think food and drinks is the main focus of this place anyways, so I'll let it slide. Lounged around reading some mangas, whilst enjoying the anime they play on a huge projector in the main room too. After finishing up my drink and dessert, I wandered off into the game room where you have the choice to play Overwatch, Street Fighter V, various Wii U games and soooooo much more!
The owner (i believe he was the owner) also let my sister and I play in the next room on this huge projector. There's no better feeling than playing Super Smash Bros with friends while being surrounded by a great sound system, it was very generous of him to let us have this experience!
My next time around, I think I'll be soloing it here. I think it's just a nice place to get comfy, read a book or in my case, I'll most likely be on my laptop and let the hours pass. Mind you, this place is still fairly new, so there isn't exactly competition for the comfy arm chair/couch like Starbucks.
I will always recommend Akiba Kissa to friends and family, because honestly, I don't know any other place like this to be honest. Be sure to check their Facebook as they announce various events there (im personally waiting for a shonen event to kick in) and maybe even meet a new friend or two!
I can't wait for my next visit here.
