CosCafé is the original cosplay and maid café proudly serving at local Vancouver conventions since 2007. Basically you pay $ 5 admission and you get to choose who you want to spend time with for 30 minutes having tea. It kinda reminded me of a brothel or escort agency in which you pay for the company and what you choose to do after is being two adults. I made various jokes throughout the tea sitting about this. Conversation between myself and the booker went as follows. Me: I know nothing about Aimee and the specific characters, however, would like to buy that small Asian guy in the green warrior outfit for $ 5. $ 5 for 30 minutes is a sweet deal. You can’t even get a massage in town for 30 minutes for that cheap. How I am going to explain it to my friends that I paid an Asian cosplay character to have tea with me for $ 5 without feeling like a john will be interesting. Them: We’re much classier than that. Me: That is what Carmen Fox and her friends say in the back of the Georgia Straight. Take a picture of us, I want to send this photo to my mother and show her what $ 5 buys you in the city *proudly puts my arm around my «purchase.» Turns out that the guy was awesome to have a conversation with, we got along great and he appreciated my sense of humor. I love the concept. For the men… the lady hostesses were cute. Only place you can buy 30 minutes with a cute Asian girl over tea for $ 5.
