Themed cafes such as maid and butler cafes, as well as pet cafes are popular attractions where you can converse or play games with a maid or butler, or spend time with animals such as cats, rabbits or birds while eating light meals or enjoying a coffee or tea. Maid cafes can easily be found in Akihabara whereas butler cafes are more concentrated around Ikebukuro. Pet cafes can be found in small numbers around the city. All these types of cafes usually charge a small cover charge in addition to food and drinks.
There are also other types of themed cafes such as the Moomin, Gundam and AKB48 cafes where fans can enjoy various themed dishes and drinks. The menu at the AKB48 cafe is a little bit different and is based on the AKB48 members' favorite foods. The cafes also usually sell character goods in the store. Be warned that the lines at these popular cafes may be long during the weekends.
