Ghost Neko’s Purranormal Maid Café

Ghost Neko's Purranormal Maid Café

We kindly invite you to Kumoricon's premier Maid Café at the Hyatt Regency Portland, with sessions running Friday through Sunday afternoon. Each session combines the experience of a Japanese maid café with the community of an American convention, presented as a special dining event.

Each table is under the dedicated attention of a maid or butler, with games, food, prizes, and a special dance intermission! The Maid Café is a great place for a snack or to get away from the crowds at the Oregon Convention Center. Memorialize your experience with an exclusive pin and a signed photo from our staff.
