The Maid Cafe: A Review

I was really here to visit the Poketo pop-up shop, but was drawn to the artwork instead.   While artists worked on cardboard pieces for Poketo’s window display and a little Asian girl held her own cardboard tree up high for a cameraman taking photos, I took some shots of my own. 

Royal/T Cafe is noted mostly for its Japanese maid theme, and I wonder if they are allowed to hire anyone outside of Asian, least it ruin the otherworldliness of the restaurant and gallery.   Although the service was a bit slow, the food is rich in flavor and texture (the tiramisu heaven), and the aromatic teas attractive.    I think the Cafe achieved what it is meant to; a serviceable space for artists and patrons alike.

    isn’t KAWS’ stuff cool? There was an exhibit of his stuff at a gallery in Culver City not long ago. We check it out – it was awesome! Aren’t the colors fantastic?
    ps – Pilates @ 8am? You rock.
