Reviewer I
I went there because if you spend over 1100 yen on the Akihabara collaboration you get a free postcard, but it seems that the 1100 yen value of the collaboration menu for other animes is not included. This is important, so I wish they would clarify that.

It's only available for a limited time, but I was surprised to find a cafe in Akihabara where you can get a drink bar, lunch, and even use the power outlets for just 550 yen. The lunch is quite filling, too.
Reviewer K
I went in specifically for the collaboration cafe. It was cold because I was near the entrance, but it would have been nice if they had some heating.
