Methodology

concafe.joelin.cc lists ongoing, physically-located Taiwanese venues — maid cafes, butler cafes, underground idol restaurants, theme concept shops, and related bars — that treat roleplay interaction as a standing part of service. We only trust two sources: a venue's own official channels and its Google Business Profile; community wikis, forums, and social posts are used only as leads and cross-checks, never cited as fact. Staff rosters include only fields the venue or the individual has made public themselves, each with a source link; we never download or re-host photos of staff, linking to the official Instagram instead.

This site provides information only — no reviews, no recommendations, no rankings; venues are ordered by objective rules (city, then area, then opening date). A closure requires positive evidence (an official announcement or a permanent-closure flag on the Google Business Profile); venues closed or relocated within 24 months keep their own page, and older closures move to the Closure record record. Disclosure: the site owner works in the photo-booth industry (Snapshot). This does not affect which venues are listed or how they are ordered.

To report an error or request a correction, contact the venue directly via the official links on its page, or reach us via the "老喬報" link in the site footer.
