I always wanted Toronto to have a Japanese Souffle Pankcakes spot and my dream finally came true thanks to Hanabusa Cafe!
Came here on a weekday around 3pm and this place was quite busy already! Since it was my first time here, I decided to just order the Original Japanese Pancake with a Kyoto Matcha Latte. The latte came quickly but the Souffle Pancakes did take awhile, infact, almost 30 minutes and as a result, the happy face on my latte was melted already. =(
Despite the long wait, the Souffle Pancakes were REALLY good. It was very fluffy, light and delicious and you have THREE of them! These pancakes did remind me of the ones I had in HK from Pan de Pain although i will still give the slight edge to the ones in HK. Still this is probably the best spot for Japanese Souffle Pancakes in Toronto.
If you want to come without a long wait, I recommend coming around 1-4 during a weekday or early on a weekend to avoid long lineup and wait time for the souffles.
