Be Served By Cute Fairies at the Newest Candy Maid Cafe in Shibuya!

Can you imagine how lovely it would be to stumble upon a serene Japanese-style tea room nestled deep inside a busy city, where you could sip beverages quietly while a calming scent wafts through the air? One company, Ecreate, did - which is why they’ve created such an environment with their new maid cafe Candy. Not only is the atmosphere lovely, but so is the core concept behind it: maids that happily serve you while dressed as carefree little fairies that live in a country of sweets and pastries.

For those itching to visit, you don’t have to wander around forever lost to find it; it’s only a 2-minute walk from Harajuku Station!

◆ Overflowing with Cuteness
**A Maid Cafe with that Encompasses the Lure and Personality of Harajuku.**
In this day and age, Harajuku’s cuteness is a popular concept known all around the world. That concept, which has grown into its own Japanese-specific culture, is hard to describe with words - but you can feel the gist when you imagine fashion with such flair and individuality that it creates its own genres; when you imagine fantastical stores that catch the attention of others with wild and vivid colors. That is the epitome of the Harajuku style, something that this newly-opened cafe channels well, especially with its fantasy-fairy concept. Everyone will be able to come and enjoy themselves.

Hospitality for Human Patrons
A few choice fairies left their realm to visit Earth, only to find it so fascinating that they decided to open up a cafe while disguised as 18-year-old human girls to serve the human ladies and lords! Speaking of maids, their outfits typically consist of black and white colors...but at this cafe, they wear all sorts of lovely colors like pink, red, blue, lavender, mint, pastels, and more! Visitors can be overwhelmed by the cuteness of their clothing, all while eating tasty food like omelettes, pancakes, and chocolates that come with messages on them!

◆ Uncommon Perks
**A Short but Immensely Refreshing Visit**
Despite the fact that the maid cafe industry thrives on the admission fee and drink orders of guests, those who aren’t swimming in money are kept in mind at this cafe. The feel of Candy is particularly friendly, so they’ve adopted an unusual time system. At lunch, 1,000 yen gets you 30 minutes - at night, 1,000 yen gets you a reasonable 20 minutes. During these times, guests pay in advance. While you could also order food, this time system is really for those who are short on time and who want to pop in to chat with the lovely fairy-maids and maybe partake in a tasty drink.

First-Timers, Don’t Be Scared!
First-timers can get used to Candy with bottomless drinks! With beer and highballs available for guests to try, there’s a variety of different drinks to partake in! There are also snacks prepared that complement the taste of whatever alcohol guests are drinking. Having this kind of atmosphere, where guests can immediately wind down and relax, is important to the cafe.
