Maid Cafe Visit and Food Run

Hey cuties! I've been well, but it's been crazy busy in a good way. I've been out every night this week kinda late. I just returned from a lovely tarot date with one of my besties ^_^ I don't see this late night trend changing anytime soon as I have another hangout tomorrow. After that it'll be Friday and I've also been invited to something as well, then the weekend lol No rest for me^^ I'm sure my social life will die down the colder it gets because that's what usually happens in NYC. Everyone hibernates and re-emerges for Spring. Summer is pretty much gone and I will admit I'm a little sad since it's my favorite season. At least I've got Fall! I wanted to share with y'all my recent trip to a maid cafe last month!

I knew that there was a Maid group in NYC due to a Youtuber I follow that participates in it. I heard that the group are available for events. I was visiting there Facebook page and saw they actually had a cafe! I've always really wanted to go to a maid cafe and a butler cafe. I literally called Tiffany two seconds later and asked if she would go with me. She was super pumped and said yes immediately! Tiffany is my frilly friend who accompanied me to the opening of the new Lolita brand store Baby the Star Shines Bright opening. You can read about that adventure here. The exterior and interior of the cafe was super cute! Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the inside due to my hunger haha It was really cute inside they even had a nice anime/manga goods section.
いらっしゃいませ!
They had really had food items with adorable names like Doki Doki Beef Bowl and Nyan Nyan Curry combo. I decided to go with chicken cutlet curry and a strawberry smoothie bubble tea with tapioca. The rice came in the shape of a heart! How freakin adorable is that^^
Next, I suggested we grab dessert at Eight Turn Crepe which is a place that sells Harajuku style crepes. I was surprised when Tiffany told me that she hadn't been before. You know I had to fix that! I heard some bangin music playing as we got closer. I realized there was a DJ spinning some really good music. She was hittin up the old school R&B.
She had me in there dancing, I tell you!
My delicious crepe

Tiffany took me to this place that's Alice in Wonderland themed and sold delicious tea. Their tea menu is huge. It's a book with about 10 or 12 pages front to back of different kids of tea. I feel in love! I've been back several times and took Boba last week. He really enjoyed it as well. You get your own pot of tea, it can be small or large and it's priced really well. They have food, scones, and desserts.

I decided to go with the Red Fruits since I love red berries. I've since had their Chocolate Chai, Symphony, and Rooibos Phoenix. My favorite is the Rooibos Phoenix since I love really sweet things. It's a red bush herb base tea with honey, caramel, and vanilla and you can have it served with milk and honey.

I really love living very close to NYC. There's so many cool things to see and door here which is very different from where I grew up. NYC even had a Harajuku Fashion Walk on this past Sunday. Everyone looked super cute and I really want to participate next year. I'll be writing about more of my adventures exploring new places in the city, so look out for that. Thank you for reading!
