Hello, this is M, the concept-cafe writer!
Until a while ago, wasn't this the place people thought of when they said Maidreamin? When you go into the back alley from Sofmap, a maid steps out onto the balcony from the second floor of a building and waves at the people passing on the street. And around the shop, Maidreamin's theme song "Dreamin Passport" plays endlessly. I'd thought this was the main store, but apparently not; this is the Akihabara Sotokanda 1-chome Store.

As of January 2025, the building is still under construction, so the maids can't stand on the balcony and wave from outside, but truthfully, the very first place where I thought "Maidreamin? Ah, it's here," was this spot.
You know, this place is really not good. Not good. Because Maidreamin is on the second floor, and there's an adult DVD viewing shop / private booth box below. And the sign is huge. Even looking at the floor directory in the elevator, the private booth box is, again, displayed much more prominently. Hmm...
The interior is based on red-and-white tables and chairs, evoking the heart suit of playing cards (well, it doesn't say so anywhere), and it feels less like a coffee house and more like a steak shop. Well, maybe that's this location's individuality.
Now, since this was my fourth Maidreamin, I'd gotten quite used to it, but going around several times in one day, my waistline started to worry me. It's lunchtime, so I'd like to go with the standard omurice, but... the parfait I had at the first shop was also incredibly delicious, so I want to eat one again... But eating the same thing would be... no, wait? I'm pretty sure this shop has more than one kind of parfait...! I'll just eat a different one! A different one!
And so what I ordered this time is this! It looks similar but is completely different. Last time I ordered the Soothing Panda Parfait. This time it's the "Nyanko-tan Parfait." Even though I'd just gotten super fat from an all-you-can-eat yakiniku the day before, eating this much... is it really okay? Hang in there, my body! Nom... D-delicious!! I-I could eat any number of bites!! N-no good!! I've completely lost my reason! I can't stop eating!! Uwaaahhh!! Finished in five minutes.
There are three shops left. There are still shops remaining, but concept-cafe writer M decided to head home for the day, returning to his house for now.
