Who wants bouncy, jiggly, IG-worthy pancakes? You know I do! Tucked into a small 500 ish sq ft space in Kensington Market, this cafe is memorable for many reasons: Long lines, cute decor, and of course the deliciously fluffy Japanese style pancakes. Yes, they are made to order so you're gonna be waiting 30-60 mins for your pancakes to come out. I went about a week after they opened and here are my thoughts.
TL;DR conclusions are...
Pros:
- Cute decor
- IG-worthy food
- Pancakes are not overly sweet
- Pancakes have a fluffy texture
- Earl Grey and Custard sauces are slammin'
- Pancakes are made to order, so they're fresh
Cons:
- Long wait time (approx. 30-60 mins)
- Cups had lint or little bits floating in our water (even after we asked for new cups)
- Staff doesn't check up on you (approach them yourself)
- Very small volume of sauce (if you like drenching your pancakes this will be disappointing)
- Seating is appropriate for groups of 2
If you're fine with a long wait and limited seating, I highly recommend you to visit this cafe. The pancakes are stellar and you're sure to like them if you're already fond of Japanese style cheesecake.
