Popped in here for a quick treat in between hockey games. We had never been before but I had seen some pictures on Yelp that made me super curious. The staff were attentive and friendly. I inquired if there are other locations and the staff member let us know there is a second location on Whyte Ave but with different owners. Bright and cheerful BUT be wary of screaming/loud kiddos in the back seating area - you see kinda in a cocoon and the sound reverberates like nothing I've heard before. And I don't mind kiddos or noise but this space amplifies it by a million. After waiting about 10 minutes we switched to the front seating area and even though we were only 2-3 tables away from the kids and babies the decibel level was dramatically lower :-) That being said, the back seating area has a really cool vibe and I'd totally sit there again in the future. The menu consisted of soufflé pancakes (starting at $13.95), croffles ($6.99), macarons (2/$8.50), gelatos ($4.95 +), roll cakes ($4.99), and burnt top cheesecakes ($6.99/slice) and soufflé cheesecake ($16.99). All the beverages are served one size only in what would probably be a iced tall at Starbucks ($5.99 and up). We shared the iced strawberry espresso today and while it was unique neither one of us really cared for it. It was a standard iced espresso with a shoe heavy whipped cream on top (almost butter) and a strawberry jam (seeded) on the bottom. We honestly didn't even finish the small drink between the two of us. The soufflé pancakes are made to order and take about 15 minutes to prepare. The blueberry cheese soufflé pancake arrived about 15 minutes after sitting as described. It was like nothing either of us had ever eaten before - the soufflé pancake itself was incredibly fluffy with cheddar cheese melted in between the two pancakes. The same rich whipped cream we had in the espresso was on the side and on top with the perfect assortment of fresh berries. My favourite part? The caramelized and torched lemon slices (and one it's burst tiny mint leaf). Oh. Em. Gee. I feel like I need to go out and buy a kitchen torch just to do this to lemons at home. Oh and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The soufflé itself wasn't sweet but the toppings sure were. I'm glad we ordered one to share because there is no way I could eat one on my own. (I do wish there had been a larger or more than one mint leaf on this dish). Approximately 15 minutes later our tiramisu croffle arrived piping hot. Presentation was gorgeous like everything else. However, both hubs and I were meh on this one. Overly sweet Hershey like syrup with a mountain of the heavy whipped cream (almost butter like). Neither of us could detect anything coffee, liquer, or marscapone cheese like (typical tiramisu flavours). I had been quite curious about croffles in general and my takeaway is that I personally don't prefer my croissants squished down into a waffle but still a really neat idea! We were given plastic utensils and both of us found it exceptionally difficult to cut through the croffle with the flimsy plastic knife. All in all I'm going with 4 stars mostly based on the pancake soufflé. Neither myself or hubs would order a beverage or croffle here again. Next time I think I'd like to try the cheesecake soufflé and a macaron (I'm curious what the filling here will be like). Two thumbs up - always fun to try something new! read more

I've been hearing about these Japanese pancakes for a while. I remember seeing them when I was in Asia but never got the chance to try it out. I was excited when I heard a place open up in the city. The aesthetic is very pleasing. I thought these would be heavy but they actually weren't. It makes for a nice light snack/dessert. It is very fluffy as advertised. We came here in the middle of a weekday and it wasn't very busy. We were able to find a table without any issues. The staff is very friendly greeting you upon entry. I ordered the raspberry with caramelized banana. I think I came in with very high expectations as the taste of it was just alright. As I'm sitting here typing I don't recall it being that memorable. The drinks look fun, I tasted a sip of my friend's and it was pretty good. I found the prices a bit much, almost $17. Not sure if I'd come back again just yet. read more

Well after two previous attempts to come here and seeing lineups, I finally made it in to this new chain of unique Japanese pancakes. We arrived at 2:00 pm on Friday thinking that it would have cleared out by then. We were partly right; there were two tables left. The first thing we noticed was that it's loud in this café. The surfaces are all hard plastic so when it's busy, and especially when there's a noisy table, it's extremely loud. We couldn't hear each other however when two girls at the far table left it was reasonable for noise so you take your chances if you actually want to talk to someone. You order at the counter and they give you a number and bring your meals to your table. In our case we ordered two pancake dishes and they took a long time to arrive. When the first order arrived my order came around 2 minutes or longer after the first dish ordered by my partner arrived. She had the blueberry cheese pancakes and said she enjoyed them. I ordered the raspberry and caramelized banana pancakes but felt that it lacked flavour. The pancakes themselves were thick and fluffy just as they were advertised on Instagram. I've never had fluffy pancakes like that before. You do pay for those fluffy pancakes though as both dishes were $15.95. That's a lot for what is basically a dessert. To say that most of the customers were on the young side would be an understatement. We might have been the only customers over 25 years of age. So for young couples going out on their first date this is ideal. You don't need to worry about conversation because you probably can't hear each other anyway. The dishes are all bright and cheery. I recommend this café for the under 25 crowd. For anyone else, I'm not so sure. The food is just too sweet for my tastes. Still, I have to give them four stars because they are unique and very popular with young people. read more

This my 2nd visit to Fuwa Fuwa...my first visit we had the tiramisu soufflé pancakes...it was delicious,light and flavourful . I ordered the hazelnut espresso to go with it...so yummy. My 2nd visit we decided to try the blueberry cheese soufflé pancakes and I would say this is my favourite...it was sweet and savoury...the blueberry was a nice complement to complete the dish. it was very busy as it take about 18-20 minutes to make the pancakes. They make fresh batter as you order...it is not pre-make batter. I can taste the fresh ingredients in every bite...it is a must try. read more

Literally the fluffiest pancakes I have ever had! I wasn't sure what to expect when I first tried them, but I was very happy with the experience! Like I said, the pancakes themselves were so light and fluffy, and there were so many options of different topping to try! Just be aware that it takes time to make these pancakes properly, and if the restaurant is busy it can be a bit of a wait (I think we waited just short of 30 minutes before we got ours). They also have a large drink menu, and everything is available for dine in or take away. read more

Get ready for the fluffiest pancakes you've ever had!! This is a great spot for breakfast brunch or lunch especially if you're a pancake lover like me. There were so many kinds to try it was really difficult to choose! I ended up picking the caramelized banana raspberry pancakes and they were delicious. The bananas were caramelized so nicely and the pancakes came with a generous portion of whipped cream and berries, with a raspberry sauce drizzled over top. Now I have to go back so I can try the tiramisu ones. I went with a group of friends and it was a nice bright intimate restaurant to share some breakfast and good conversation. Did I mention they have delicious gourmet coffee options. A salted caramel latte to go please! These are special Japanese pancakes I learned that fuwa fuwa literally means fluffy fluffy. These extra high pancakes are delicately light and tasty. I've been recommending this place to friends and everyone who has been has really enjoyed it. They also have a small selection of Japanese style baked goods you can eat at the restaurant or take to go. Be prepared for a small wait as these pancakes take a little extra time to make especially if the restaurant is very busy but definitely worth it! read more
