| - There's been an influx of Insta posts on souffle pancakes lately so ofc, I had to try Toronto's latest food trend xD. I was surprised to see how small the store was when we arrived. There were only 4-5 small tables with 2 rows of bar seats. It was especially cramped at the back where there were people lining up, others waiting around, some at the bar seat, and the staff working in the kitchen. Luckily, my friend and I were able to get a seat at one of the tables closer to the front of the store. She ordered the strawberry, blueberry, and banana pancake while I had the tiramisu one.
The tiramisu pancake came with cocoa powder, mascarpone-infused whipped cream, dark chocolate drizzle, and a couple of berries. It did fairly well in mimicking the flavors of a tiramisu. And I liked having the drizzle on the side so that it's not drowned in syrup. As for the pancakes themselves, they were quite fluffy; almost like an airier version of uncle tetsu's cheesecake after it's been fridged. And as someone else commented, the taste does vary a lot depending on what you compliment it with; otherwise, it's just eggy with a hint of sweetness.
Overall, I found the price ($15ish after tax) to be a bit steep for what it is, but it's worth a try. And it'll be better to visit on a weekday if you don't want to line up and be cramped.
