An Cafe formed in May of 2003 when vocalist みく (Miku), newcomer guitarist 坊 (Bou), and bassist カノン (Kanon), who all hail from the Kantou area of Japan, met each other on an unnamed Internet message board while searching for other individuals with interest similar to their own, specifically people looking for musicians. Still without a drummer, the band held their first demonstration at Akasaka L@N on June 6 with their second demonstration at Urawa NARCISS on June 17. Antic Cafe distributed 50 copies of their first demo, "Ope●ng," in MiniDisc format at the second live.
At their debut live at Ikebukuro CYBER on July 2, the group sold their second demo MD "Uzumaki Senshokutai / Hatsukoi." The two demos were self-released and their last releases without a label. At their Ikebukuro CYBER live on August 10, they announced their new drummer 輝喜 (Teruki), ex-drummer for the band feathers-blue. His first concert with the group was on September 22 at Urawa NARCISS.
In December 2003, An Cafe announced that they signed with indie label LOOP ASH RECORDS and released their debut single キャンデーホリック on March 24, 2004. It reached #2 on the Oricon indies charts, and #75 on the overall charts where it charted for two weeks.
The band released their first album, 色彩モーメント, on November 9, 2005. It peaked at #39 on the Oricon albums chart. They released their next album, マグニャカルタ, on November 29, 2006. This album was also released in South Korea on May 21, 2007, and there was also a limited edition version of the album released containing a DVD with several music videos. This album would be guitarist Bou's last recording appearance in An Cafe as he left the band following their live on April 30, 2007. After his departure, two new members were announced: guitarist タクヤ (Takuya) would replace Bou and they now had a keyboardist, ゆうき (Yu-ki). The first single with the new lineup was 覚醒ヒロイズム～THE HERO WITHOUT A "NAME"～. The title track is the second opening theme of the anime series "Darker than Black." The song peaked at #13 on the Japanese singles chart and is their highest selling single. Also, at the end of 2007, An Cafe announced their first overseas tour, taking place in Europe in 2008.
An Cafe released their third album, 極魂ROCK CAFE, on April 9, 2008 in Japan, but it was first released in Europe on March 14. The European release of the album featured three bonus tracks which were previously only available as b-sides on their last three singles for this album. The album debuted at #10 on the Swedish album chart, and at #26 on the Finnish album chart. It also peaked at #13 on the Japanese album charts.
The band's fourth album, BBパラレルワールド, was released on September 9, 2009 in Japan and October 2, 2009 in Europe. The album peaked at #20 on the Japanese albums chart.
An Cafe has gained great success in Japan, as well as moderate success in Europe, mainland Asia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Canada, and the United States. In 2008, the band visited Finland, Sweden, Germany, France, the UK, Spain, the US, and Korea on their first overseas tour, LIVE CAFE TOUR'08 「NYAPPY GO AROUND THE WORLD」. They played a total of twelve concerts in eight countries. They went on another overseas tour, LIVE CAFE TOUR'09 "NYAPPY GO AROUND THE WORLD II" -Harajuku Dance Rock Night-, in March and April, playing a total of 17 dates. It encompassed twelve countries: Russia, Finland, Sweden, Germany, the UK, France, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Mexico and the USA.
An Cafe announced on their official homepage that they would be taking a break from activities, stating, "after the Budokan show, each member will concentrate on their own activity to be prepared for the band to restart in the future." In the wake of the hiatus, several members are now involved in other projects. Kanon is heading a mobile phone game called Pinky☆Distortion, which was released in July 2010. He was also a guest at Otakon 2010 as a panelist and guest DJ, as well as pairing up with 分島花音 to form a duo act kanon×kanon. Miku is vocalist for the new visual kei band Lc5 formed in June 2010. Teruki is playing as a support drummer for the band DOGinTheパラレルワールドオーケストラ.
On April 1, 2012, An Cafe announced that they will be resuming activities and will be doing a world tour in November in Europe and the UK, the tour being named "An CaFesta '12 Summer Dive". On 30 May, An Cafe announced that they will be releasing a mini-album titled Amazing Blue on August 8, their first release since returning from their two-year hiatus. Later in the following year, they announced a three-month consecutive single release coupled with a large tour to celebrate the band's 10th anniversary. The singles would be released in the months June, July, and August, the tour finale being on January 4, 2014 at the Nippon Budokan. The band performed for first time in Canada at Animethon August 9, 2014. Also they performed in Brazil at Anime Friends Convention on July and in Mexico on November for their third solo concert in this country.
In a sudden announcement made on June 22, 2018, An Cafe has decided to enter an indefinite hiatus for the second time in its career. The announcement was made through Twitter, with heartfelt messages left on the official website as well. The last live for the band will take place on January 9, 2019 at EX THEATER ROPPONGI. Following this live, members Kanon, Teruki, Yuuki, and Takuya will depart from the band, leaving vocalist Miku as the sole member. Various reasons were given by each individual member, but the general consensus was that they all felt they had accomplished all they wanted with An Cafe, and wanted to walk down different roads.

The lyrics to アンティック-珈琲店-'s song NYAPPY in the world 2 is an upbeat and motivational song that encourages listeners to never give up and to always strive to be themselves. The opening verse begins with the singer offering a challenge to a mermaid, saying "Hey Mermaid, here's my ultimate challenge. Should we wash away your scars of the past with the waves?" The following lines talk about how even the most foolish people can clear the stage with quick thinking and a strong heart. The chorus repeats the phrase "NYAPPY" several times, and there are moments in the song that encourage the listener to dance and move their body. The overall message of the song seems to be one of positivity, self-acceptance, and fearlessly pursuing one's dreams.
