Royal T is a wonderful place of art gallery, cafe and retail shop situated in warehouse in Culver City, California. The space is amazing and you can spend a splendid day there. You can explore the art stuff, which are really extraordinary. Then have a snack with the help of pretty Asian ladies.

Inspired by the Maid Cafés in Tokyo’s Akihabara district, the highly conceptualized space of Royal T reflects the interior realm of fantasy that strongly influences the artists included in owner Sue Hancock’s private collection.

Recontextualizing the underground ‘okaku’ (geek) culture of Japan that celebrated ‘cosplay’ (costume play), the café servers dress in maid uniforms with a Lolita-esque touch.

The look-but-don’t-touch theme continues with the art and retail offerings contained within the acrylic vitrines. Even the requisite café ceiling is acrylic, allowing the existing bowstring trusses to remain visible.
