For the first time, Anime Boston is excited to announce the opening of our very own Maid Cafe!

Join us for a leisurely experience inspired by the Japanese maid cafes that originated in Akihabara and have become popular in many cities worldwide. Come in for a sweet treat and be greeted by our adorable staff of maids and butlers who will accompany you for your stay. When you are finished with your snack, you can take pictures and play games with us or just sit back and relax.

We are delighted to serve the esteemed ladies and gentlemen of Anime Boston!

Will attending the cafe (not including food/drinks) cost money?

I am surprised they are able to do this, what with how the vendors in the Dealer's Room cannot sell food, and how the Artist's in Artist's Alley cannot even give candy away.

While all Anime Boston staff work this convention on a volunteer basis, staffing is different than volunteering.

When we refer to staff, we're talking people actually being part of the convention in certain positions with specific duties.

Volunteers have a different set of rules and are not considered staff and help out where needed.

This sounds amazing!!! Do you guys need a tiny maid mascot? My 5-yo daughter would love to dress up and help out if she can!

...Good points and clearly a deal was made. My guess is assets from the Hynes Cafeteria will be used for the food and beverages served.

This is awesome! I've been dying to participate at a maid cafe. I sent in an application, hopefully not too late, and am hoping to be part of the staff here. :D

There seems to be a lot of buzz with this since it was announced. Will we run into long line and crowd issues?

It's a new feature this year, so I'd imagine so.
