I Maid Café Serves Up Japanese Weirdness in Cold Canada
Toronto meets Tokyo at I Maid Cafe
Japan has exported cars and electronics to the West for decades, but it's only recently that the nation's dynamic culture, led by Pokemon and other Anime has also made the trip. Their success has led a few enterprising types to try transplanting some of the more offbeat aspects of Japanese culture into foreign soil. Can it work? Your on-the-scene reporter visited the I Maid Café in Toronto, Canada today to find out first hand!
Pretty maids all in a row
Maid cafes have sprung up all over Japan since the first one opened in 1998, catering mainly to so-called "otaku" who feel more comfortable dealing with a subservient maid then with other people in social settings.in Toronto, Canada, just a few minutes away by car, is an actual maid café!
Maid to order
Maid Café is located just south of Toronto's newest booming Chinatown (we have about 7 at last count), and both the former and current new management are of Chinese extraction. This is reflected in the menu, which offers Japanese foods like "Home Rice" (a rice-stuffed omelet topped with ketchup), Chinese standard fare, and a selection of Taiwanese Bubble Teas. The café itself was decked out in classic black & white with a wall-mounted plasma TV displaying a live concert by a Chinese singer.
Customer were greeted at the door by a young, pretty Chinese girl wearing a red & white maid outfit.

As for the food, it was quite tasty, accented by the glass of cool Mint Coffee
The service, while decent, didn't really differ from that of any other normal café, customer will be greeted with the "Welcome, Master and Mistress" emoted by staff at Japanese maid cafes
Maid Café does a good job of bringing a little Japanese weirdness to far-away Toronto
