Good atmosphere with 3 tables and small tables. Good for small groups with no hurry to catch up the schedule as waiting time might be a little long as it’s only prepared by 1 person but food is definitely worth it fruits are super fresh and is the perfect balance between sweet and tart really shows the effort behind it.

Amazing pancakes and one for the best iced coffees I've had in Japan. It's a small, cute setting with the owner preparing food and serving. If you go at a busy time it may take a while to get your food but it's certainly worth any wait. We went early, around 830 and we didn't have too much long at all, but as the tables filled up after us we could see others needed to wait. The pancakes are super fluffy and each order comes with a very generous amount of super fresh fruit. Bonus points for Disney soundtracks playing in the background, goes perfectly with the decor and dainty, cozy vibe. Please read the sign before entering and ring the bell! We could see many people coming in after us not doing this. Highly recommend this hole in the wall pancake and fruit specialist!

This restaurant was amazing and so cute! We walked right in without waiting. There was Japanese Disney music playing and all the decor is so cute. The owner of the store is very friendly, no English but it was no issue :) The food was so tasty and I already want to come back. The regular pancakes are so fluffy and come with a generous portion of fruit. The açai bowl was also delicious. Loved the iced matcha latte I got and my friends loved the coffee and latte and cream soda. Highly recommend coming here! Edit: we came back because we loved it so much and got to try the soufflé pancakes and the soufflé avalanche pancakes and they were amazing!

Such an amazing experience! Delicious pancakes and fruit bowls . One of the best iced coffees I've had in Japan. It's a small, cute setting with the owner “artist” preparing food and serving. The pancakes are super fluffy and each order comes with a very generous amount of super fresh fruit. Highly recommend !!!!

We came here for the souffle pancakes and they did not disappoint! We arrived just after open, the owner led us inside to a table and had us scan a QR code for the menu. We ordered the pancake with eggs and sausage, pancake with strawberries and chocolate, a hot Americano, and a cold caramel macchiato. All were delicious and lightweight, the pancakes were not too sweet. The decor inside was very cute, the furniture appeared to be thrifted and felt very cozy and homey. There was a Disney playlist that added to the cutesy atmosphere! I absolutely recommend this restaurant!

Found this when I was looking for breakfast in the Asakusa area. We wanted to try soufflé pancakes and were excited that this place was open earlier as well. Very cute interior and the gentleman that greated us at the door was very friendly. We were seated immediately as the first to arrive but soon after, the door was answered and the 3 remaining tables were filled after. We ordered the strawberry soufflé pancake and the sausage and egg pancake. Coffee was amazing but the star of this place is the soufflé pancakes. Light and airy with a little sweetness, they were very delicious. The mounds of strawberries were incredible. The eggs were perfect. If you know any thing about soufflés, they take time to make and the same goes for these pancakes. They are made fresh! Your patience will be rewarded. By the time we left there were 2 additional parties waiting outside to be seated.

I think that the pancakes served at this hole-in-the-wall gem of a spot are genuinely some of the best in Tokyo. The fruits were fresh and generously decorated the shop's signature pancakes, which were incredibly soft an masterfully cooked to perfection. The strawberry pancakes are served with what I believe to be a homemade strawberry sauce that pairs wonderfully with the mild tartness of the freshly cut strawberries -an immediate favorite and a highly recommended! The shop is perfect with one minor caveat: the seating space is very limited, and wait times for both entering the store and being served tend to be on the longer side. This is by no means a fault of the two-man operation running this place and doesn't affect the experience in any negative way -good food takes time after all- but it is worth noting if you intend on visiting. Leave ample time for swinging by; it's not a quick stop! All in all, excellent food, friendly service, and well worth the price and wait!
