Pleased to meet you.

Announcement of Rankings
Now, let’s reveal the cute concept cafe uniform ranking, decided after a heated debate within the editorial team.
#10 Doll Maid Cafe ‘Dear My Doll’ (Nipponbashi/Osaka)
At #10 is my recommended store, Doll Maid Cafe ‘Dear My Doll’.

There are four colors available, each with its own unique charm.
True, each color gives a completely different impression.
The corset makes the silhouette look beautiful. I’d love to pull off this kind of uniform.
It’s great that you can choose a uniform that matches the character of each girl.
#9 Café & Bar Linaria (Kobe)
Next up is Linaria, a place with a “Diamond in the Rough” idol concept.

It has a classic idol feel; it’s definitely a uniform I’d like to try wearing at least once.
It’s nice that it includes gloves—adds a touch of elegance.
The costume fabric shows attention to detail. The mix of lace, frills, and glittering accents is really nice.
It’s so well-detailed; I’d love to see it up close.
#8 CANDY TRIP CAFE (Shinsaibashi/Osaka)
The style is a bit different, but I’d also like you to check out the costumes at CANDY TRIP CAFE in Shinsaibashi.

It’s a stylish fusion of a sexy bunny and a cute maid costume.
It combines both cuteness and coolness, which is fantastic.
Even with a lot of skin showing, the chest area is covered, making it easier for girls to wear.
Girls would love this kind of costume too. Highly recommended!
#7 Maidreamin (Akihabara and nationwide)
Next up in the rankings is Japan’s largest maid cafe chain, Maidreamin.

It’s a classic maid uniform, but the color scheme matches the brand’s colors, and the silhouette is beautiful.
It’s a uniform that knows how to make girls look cute.
It’s the epitome of maid cafes. Especially the way they highlight the “absolute territory” (zettai ryoiki) is very calculated.
The costume is well-crafted down to the smallest details. I also look forward to the differences according to rank.
#6 Rohan (Ikebukuro)
Ranked at #6 is “Rohan,” with a cute enchanted doll theme.

The purple and black color scheme is cute. I love how it mixes elegance, chicness, and cuteness all in one.
It’s got that doll-like charm with purple, and the black lace really stands out.
This corset detail is also really well-designed.
The cafe is also very cute, and it goes perfectly with this outfit—I fell in love at first sight.
#5 Afilia Chronicle S (Akihabara)
Listed under Akihabara, Afilia Chronicle S also has the same design available at Afilia Bloujour in Omiya.

This cape is beautiful, and it really fits the magical academy theme.
If I could attend a magical academy, I’d want a uniform like this.
This uniform looks just like something you’d see in a magical academy anime. You can really feel the store’s concept come through.
Apparently, you can actually buy the uniforms in-store.

If I were a girl, I’d definitely want to try wearing one at least once.
#4 Luna Amour (Shibuya)
Ranked #4 is Luna Amour, produced by former NMB48 member Rioka Ota and former SKE48 member Aina Hoshino.

This costume, designed by former SKE48 member Kanako Hiramatsu, has a quality that rivals that of real idol outfits.
I always imagine idols in gingham check patterns, so this is my ideal idol costume. The all-lace outfit in the second image is also adorable.
This could really be a costume for an idol group. It’s a true concept cafe where you can meet idols.
This outfit captures the concept of being somewhere between an idol and a maid, leaning more toward the idol side, which I love.
#3 Isekai maid (Akihabara)
Now, let’s move into the top 3! Ranked #3 is Isekai maid
Image source https://x.com/Isekai_maid
The classic maid costume is enhanced with an isekai vibe, making it look like a character from an RPG world.
It feels like it could be from a game world! I’d want to buy this costume as a special in-game item!
The blue tones with golden accents make a nice contrast with the white, blue, and gold theme.
The costume is well-crafted to match the concept of the store.
#2 Dolly♡princess (Sapporo)
Coming in at #2, we have Dolly♡princess from Sapporo, produced by influencer Yamderera.
Image source https://www.instagram.com/dolly_hime__/
This high-quality costume combines the “doll-like princess” concept with an edgy look.
It’s so cute with all the frills! I love the little details, like the heart on the waist.
People who love this style will definitely be into it. I’m sure the designer is also really passionate about this look!
I’d love to stop by if I ever visit Sapporo.
#1 Hoshi no Ohime-sama (Akihabara)
The top-ranked uniform is from Hoshi no Ohime-sama in Akihabara.
Image source https://caferun.jp/shop/8414/
The color scheme inspired by the universe is stunning. The star-themed decorations and princess-style open neckline perfectly embody the “Star Princess” name. Every design element is spot-on.
The skirt is adorable. The galaxy-inspired colors are truly magical!
The quality is so high it could pass as a new magical girl anime outfit.
You can tell the attention to detail that went into creating this.
Everything from the skirt embellishments to the accessories has a cosmic feel, showing a great level of dedication to the theme.
Summary
This ranking is purely based on the subjective views of the Concon Cafe editorial team. Please forgive any strong personal biases that might have come through.
There are plenty of other wonderful costumes that didn’t make it into this ranking. I’d love to see more of them!
