What lies inside the maid cafe in Tokyo, Japan?

This is an establishment wherein the staff is mostly comprised of young ladies -- with some of them are actually students -- dressed as maids; serving dishes and beverages, and entertaining people through mini-dance stints (while serving food and drinks) and live shows upon request.

Maid cafes achieved popular status in general. However, they were also mistakenly deemed to be a place for prostitution. Challenges to prove the misconception was somewhat hard, though, as these girls are facing battles to clear the stigma and misunderstanding every day.
