Cosplay Cafés are tea shops or small restaurants where the waitstaff's costumes (and frequently the decor and food) are themed around a scenario or fantasy. They typically offer cold and hot tea and coffee drinks, fancy desserts and light meals, often highly decorated and "cutesy", served with Fanservice with a Smile. Cosplay Cafés cater to otaku of both sexes. The most common version of this trope is the Maid Café, which features attractive waitresses who dress and "perform" as obsequious and obedient maids. A Butler Café is similar but with the waiters dressed as "butlers" and "footmen"; these usually attract a mostly female clientele (frequently Yaoi Fangirls). Waitstaff at Maid and Butler cafés usually use extra-polite language, including the obligatory greeting "Welcome home, Master / Mistress!" Cosplay Cafés feature a wide variety of other themes, such as "Little Sister", "Miko", "Tsundere", "railway café", etc. Other specialties include "josou" (female clothing) cafés, featuring cute guys in pretty dresses, and "dansou" (male clothing) cafés, featuring Bifauxnen women in male drag. (Many Butler cafés are dansou cafés.) School Festivals frequently feature cafés as a class activity, and there is a better-than-even chance it'll be modeled after a Maid Café (or possibly a Butler Café if the class is mostly male). For the more "adult" version, see Hostess Club / Host Club. Frequently uses French Maid Outfit. Compare Fan Service With A Smile. If a couple goes to one together, the menu may include Sweetheart Sipping. |

Yubisaki Milk Tea: Minamo decide that the class should do a crossdress cafe for the school festival with Wataru and Kodama as the maids. During the festival Yoshinori remarks that Kodama looks okay, but that Wataru is too tall to pass for a girl. But Minamo answer that the point is to make people laugh, unlike when Yoshinori is crossdressing as Yuki. Yoshinori ends up joining them as a very good looking girl (though not as Yuki). The result is that the cafe suddenly get a lot more customers due to the cute "girl". | |

Persona 3: The Main Character's ever-original classmates decide to do a Maid Cafe for their School Festival. Yukari dreads it from the depths of her spirit because it means wearing a maid uniform; Junpei and the rest of the male schoolmates look forward to this cherished event. Alas, a typhoon rips through Iwatodai and the School Festival is canceled, to the endless grief of the schoolmates. In Portable, when playing as the female MC, the player can choose the text option "I'm looking forward to it!" (referring to Yukari wearing a maid outfit). This makes Yukari blush! | |

In Lucky Star, Konata works at one as a part-time job, and it's later revealed that Patty works there as well. In episode 16 of the anime, the other main characters go to visit Konata during her shift, and she and Patty are respectively dressed as Haruhi and Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya. Konata even acts like Haruhi when serving her friends, complete with imitating Haruhi's voice (which is an Actor Allusion, since Konata and Haruhi are voiced by the same actresses in both Japanese and English). | |

Oni Ga Shiku Series: One of Izuku's substories revolves around a woman named Rio Suzuki, who wants to take a loan from Sky Finance to open a maid cafe in Musutafu. Akiyama, as usual, decides to test her by having her manage a maid cafe in Kamurocho for a day to see how she runs her business and if she can stand up for her staff in front of perverts. To supervise, Akiyama has some of his female acquaintances (probably employees in his hostess club) forced into a maid outfit, much to his initial displeasure. Izuku also notes that a maid cafe would be extremely out of place in Musutafu, but it's not unheard of for an out-of-place joint to have good clientelle. | |

In one of the Code Geass school festivals, Shirley's swim club does a swimsuit cafe. In a poster from the "Ashford Academy School Festival"-themed calendar, Shirley, Nina, Kallen, and Lelouch are dressed as maids/butler for one of these. |

The first scene of Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid features two girls advertising the cafe that the work at. Tohru based her maid outfit off of their uniforms. This scene only occurs in the anime. She also gets a job at a separate cafe in manga by complete accident and quickly becomes the head chef (but quits soon afterwards because she's only interested in being subservient to Kobayashi). | |

In Kitsune no Yomeiri, the Golden Fox was a maid café opened by Kyouka's mother Kyouko as the first step in her plan to create a Kitsune kingdom in the Human World. It did good business due to Kyouko's aggressive advertising and her use of Kyouka as a waitress. Unfortunately, Kyouka burnt the building down after getting mad at some jerkass customers and accidently set fire to the magically transformed leaves the café was made from. | |

In the Kamen Rider Kiva episode where Otoya (for no clearly explained reason) possesses his son Wataru's body in 2008, he discovers maid cafes and considers them one of the best things the 21st century has to offer. In the net movies, Otoya renovates the Cafe mal'damour into a series of these, with ridiculous results. |

Akiba Maid War: Set in 1999, the show is about maid cafes in Akihabara who are all involved in a bloody, violent Yakuza-like gang war. Most of the cafes are owned by the Creatureland Group, which gives them animal themes along with their maid uniforms; the story mainly focuses on Ton Tokoton, a pig-themed maid cafe whose employees struggle with paying back debts thanks to their manager's incompetence. | |

K-On!: Ritsu proposes that their class should do a maid cafe for their School Festival, as she thinks Mio is really suited to the look; in the anime, there's even an Imagine Spot of Mio saying "Moe Moe Kyun!", a phrase used as a "magic spell" by waitresses at real maid cafes to make food and drinks more delicious for the customers. Mio is utterly mortified by this idea and punches Ritsu in response. The second season actually goes whole-hog and does the real thing. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: During the preparations for Mahorafest, Misa puts forth the idea of making a "No panties cafe". The author's notes explain it is a cafe where the maids have no undergarments... and the floor is full of mirrors. No wonder the girls shot it down immediately. ("Nopan clubs" are a Real Life form of Hostess Club, but not usually a feature of Maid Cafes.) | |

Love Me For Who I Am takes place in a crossdressing maid cafe. Despite that, not everyone at the cafe is cisgender. The protagonist is nonbinary (which is why they struggled with whether they should work at the cafe), a co-worker is a trans girl, and the owner is a trans woman. | |
