While customers generally have to avoid initiating physical contact with the handsome staff, the butlers will hold hands or even hand-feed some lucky cafe guests! Additionally, they will sing, dance, or pose for photos with you for an additional charge per request.

Speaking of taking photos, the cafe's Victorian-era theme means you'll get the best possible backdrop for cute photos with the charming staff. Visitors can expect to find period-specific furnishings in the cafe, including antique-looking lamps, clocks, and candelabras placed about.
