Welcome home, master. Join the maids of Cafe Delish as they take you on a tour of the traditions that have made these cafés such a phenomenon in Japan. Relax after an exhausting day of panels, shopping, and running around by enjoying irresistible desserts and beverages at our afternoon tea service.

And in the spirit of Japan’s famous purikura (print club) photo booths, Cafe Delish has created Canada’s, if not the world’s, first puriMeido (print maid) booth. For $5 guests can choose which maid they would like to take their photo with, wear a chosen prop headpiece & participate in their chosen maid’s signature poses or create their own.
