Don't get freaked out—they're supposed to be wearing those maid
outfits. L.A’s first “cosplay” cafe pays homage to the most extreme
Japanese fashion: people who wear costumes all the time. Equal parts
tea room, boutique and art space, Royal/T is a Japanese pop world
brimming with manga, CDs, accessories and various kawaii tchotchkes.
And, yes, there’s high tea and desserts to go with the French-maid
servers.
