Arcane Maid Café was founded in January 2016 in Pomona, CA, and continues to host events to this day. We moved into our permanent café at 171 E Live Oak Ave, Suite D, Arcadia, CA 91006 on April 1, 2024. More about our maid café can be found on our Our Café page.

Our maid café does not have a door charge or fee to enter. We have maid café packages available for purchase, which typically include a food, drink, and prize item for you to be seated. If you wish to order food or drinks to-go, we can take your order from our front counter. All tables and seats are reserved for maid café patrons only.

We pay a variety of artists through commission websites such as Pixiv and Facebook to find artists. We do not create any of the artwork ourselves besides modifying basic designs. If you are an artist and would like to find commission work for our maid cafe, please contact us with your portfolio and rates.
