Flipper's

"A café in Soho known for its light and fluffy soufflé pancakes."

"The specialty of this Japanese import are thick spongy soufflé pancakes, served with fresh fruit. There are many other all-day breakfast and brunch options, too, including sandwiches served with good fries, boba teas, entree salads, and fried chicken with waffles. The upstairs dining room provides good views of this bustling Soho corner." - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart

"If two of your interests happen to be pancakes and the internet, you’ve probably heard of Flipper’s (known for their soufflé pancakes). Guess what? Their pancakes live up to the hype. The texture is in between a sponge cake and an egg custard, and they come with maple-flavored cream, so they don’t really need syrup. Surprisingly, the savory dishes like the chicken nuggets and BLT with a thick stack of thinly-sliced bacon are good too. Most of the seating is in the upstairs space, which is filled with windows, a skylight, and a neon “When I flip you flip we flip” sign." - Kenny Yang, Bryan Kim, Carina Finn Koeppicus, Willa Moore, Sonal Shah

The texture is in between a sponge cake and an egg custard, and most people eat them without syrup since they come with maple-flavored cream. (We still like to add syrup.) Surprisingly, the savory dishes like chicken nuggets made with fatty chunks of dark meat and BLT on crusty bread with a thick stack of thinly-sliced bacon are good too. Most of the seating is in the upstairs space, which is filled with windows, a skylight, and a neon “When I flip you flip we flip” sign. photo credit: Kenny Yang" - Kenny Yang

"The Instagrammable neon light and brick hotspot in Soho is always busy no matter the time or day. With fluffy Japanese pancakes that melt in your mouth, the matcha pancake comes topped with matcha cream, matcha powder, and red bean paste that balances out the sweet pancakes." - Twesha Dikshit
