We're proud to present Kumoricon's premier maid cafe—Ghost Neko's Purranormal Maid Café.

We kindly invite you to Kumoricon's premier Maid Café at the DoubleTree by Hilton, with sessions running Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Each session combines a sampling of a Japanese maid cafe experience with the community of an American convention, presented as a special dining event.

Ghost Neko's Purranormal Maid Café offers more than just refreshments. Each table is under the dedicated attention of a Maid or Butler, with games, prizes, live entertainment, and personalized service. The Maid Café is a great place to grab a meal, or snack, between panels, away from the crowds at the OCC. Memorialize your experience with an exclusive photo from our staff, with proceeds from games and photos going directly to The Greeney Family Fund for Japanese Track Scholarships at The International School, and Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Reserve your seats early to lock in your table!

A collectible Maid Neko Enamel Pin will be available at the Maid Café. (Cost: $8)

Online pre-sales have now concluded. Walk-in seatings will be available.

The Maid Café offers both pre-booked and on-site reservations, as well as accommodating walk-ins, subject to seat availability. Parties may be grouped together when seated.

Table Availability

• Walk-ins
  • Tables are given to people with reservations first. Groups smaller than three may be asked to pair with another group to use the most amount of seats per sitting.
  • After 15 minutes past the reservation time, walk-ins may be accepted subject to availability of our Maid and Butler staff.
  • Walk-ins will be seated in groups of five, when possible.
  • Walk-ins are taken first-come, first-served for the first party at a table, but in order to create a table of five, we may bump a smaller group ahead in line to bring the table to five guests.
  • Walk-ins are not guaranteed to be seated. Depending on Maid and Butler staff availability, we may be required to turn away some waiting walk-in guests.
• Groups larger than five
  • Groups larger than five may be split, subject to seating availability and table arrangements. We limit tables to five guests in order to ensure that each Maid and Butler can dedicate their attention to everyone at the table.
• Accessibility accommodations
  • We are very happy to accommodate wheelchair seating at the Maid Café. In order to best assist us in preparing accommodations, please inform us of your wheelchair seating during your reservation or purchase, or as soon as you become aware of your requirement.
