I went to a maid café for the first time in Taiwan! 🫶
The location is in a slightly local area rather than a tourist spot, so the surrounding atmosphere was calm, allowing me to enjoy it at a leisurely pace!
【Atmosphere of the shop】
When I entered the café, the maids welcomed me in Japanese by saying, "Welcome back!" and I felt that this is a culture that Japan can proudly present to the world, haha.
The interior was spacious and had a calm ambiance, perhaps because it was designed with an old castle theme, as white is a rare color compared to typical cafes.
【Food evaluation】
The menu wasn’t just filled with cute items like those in Japanese maid cafés; there were also substantial dishes. I had duck pasta with balsamic vinegar, and I really liked the sweet flavor of the seasoning! This dish also came with a drink, so I was able to enjoy a satisfying meal. 🍽️
【Service evaluation】
When I first entered, I only saw three maids, which gave me a slightly lonely impression. However, they made the effort to visit each table and engage in conversation, so I was able to chat properly! Also, although I couldn't take photos, there was a stage dance performed by the maids, and I got to see them dance to songs from Japanese idol groups! (I think what you can see varies depending on the day.)
【Overall evaluation】
I have been to a maid café in Japan once before, but I've found that this one in Taiwan allowed me to enjoy it in a more relaxed manner compared to those in Japan! ✨
There are also many cute maids in the maid café (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ
Moreover, there are quite a lot of customers on weekdays in the evening, which is a bit unexpected~
Everyone has a minimum spend of 200 yuan, and basically ordering one main dish exceeds that. The maids occasionally come by to chat, and the emotional value is abundant, which is really nice~ It truly gives a feeling of being at home and interacting comfortably.
The pipe meat sauce noodles are quite delicious, a bit spicy, but still acceptable. The cassia seed tea is slightly sweet and very refreshing and tasty.
You can pay extra for a magical set and get a polaroid picture. The magical set includes a maid's special drink (you can choose the color), a serving of fries, and a polaroid photo with a maid.
You can also see other maids' friends cosplaying as maids in the venue, which is very touching and joyful (≧◡≦) ♡
The shop's dog, Puff, is super cute; it’s a little fluffy white Pomeranian.
Basically, aside from the environment being somewhat better, the service and food are quite good, but it feels like there are a bit of staff shortages among the maids. It would be even better if there were a few more!
