Fuwa Fuwa Japanese pancakes cafe

On my trip to Japan, one of my to do was get the fluffy pancakes. Unfortunately we ran out of time, so when I was in Toronto it was highly recommended for me to try these fluffy Japanese style pancakes. Were they must have? No, but were they good? Yes. I was expecting a lot more, at the end of the day they are just super fluffy pancakes, but pancakes none the less. The toppings makes it different and here the best one was the creme brûlée option. The other two were ok and their drinks were average. It does take a long time for them to come out as they are made fresh so expect a wait.

Service: the place was not busy when we visited which was great as we had the time to order and enjoy. The orders came relatively fast, the person was kind and gave good recommendations. Food: the food was very good. We enjoyed the croffle as well as the pancakes and egg griddle. All very tasty. Our little one really enjoyed the tiny jugs to pour the chocolate on the pancakes. Atmosphere: good and family friendly.

Delicious pancakes. Took about 20-30 mins to get the food but that they have mentioned already. Highly recommend blueberry cheese and tiramisu pancakes. Nutella banana was a bit okay looking compared to those two. Overall, they all tasted great. You might have to wait to get a table free for you. Also have free water available to drink.

Such friendly staff and attention to detail on the food! We tried one savory and one sweet stack of pancakes plus some coffee. Highly recommend! Even the banana had brulee in the crème brûlée stack. I could feel the care poured into the dish preparation! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Love the tiny area. It's cozy and cute to dine in. The food was great and love the presentation. For first time, this was a great place. If I do return to Toronto I might stop by once again

Love their Japanese soufflè pancakes! Ive tried a few flavors. The only down sides is that you don't feel satiated after finishing because its so fluffy. The staff are kind and cozy location.

Finally got to try Fuwa Fuwa and it was a very pleasant experience. Their pancake is so fresh, simple but clean tasting. I will be back to try more 🩷 P.S. I didn't enjoy the mango latte, I think their other drinks would be better

The pancakes were super fluffy and tasty! We also tried the mango drink and a Hojicha latte, both were really good. Cozy vibe and a great spot overall, definitely worth visiting.

I came to Fuwa Fuwa not knowing what souffle pancakes were and after trying a taste of it, I had to go back another time. The interior is small, but there are enough seats for approximately 20 ppl. The interior was well lit and was cleaned. The pancakes were made quite fast. From ordering to the delivery of the pancakes took around 10 minutes. The pancakes were so fluffy and delicious. My favorite so far was the creme brulee since it had ice cream which added another aspect to it. I also tried the tiramisu, the regular, and the matcha too. All were equally yummy. I wished i had more time in toronto to try the rest of the flavors.

Extremely small location. You order at the cashier, serve yourself water and get your own utensils. There's basically no table service. I went in on a weekend late in the afternoon. The cashier was kind. Our food took a bit of while to come out. I ordered the matcha white chocolate pancakes. They were extremely soft and airy. The matcha sauce was okay, the white chocolate was also okay. My boyfriend got the tiramisu pancakes. The tiramisu pancakes have a very strong coffee taste. Both pancakes have a strong eggy flavour to them. For drinks, he got the matcha espresso and I got the mango latte. The mango latte was okay- but it's basically just mango jam with milk. The total came out to around $50. I left feeling okay, not full but alright.

It is a lovely evening to visit a cute spot for Japanese pancakes- Fuwa Fuwa Japanese Pancakes. We are ordering the Strawberry Delight pancakes, coffee americano, and refreshing lemon ice. The servers were so helpful and friendly. The place is clean and welcoming.

Oh my goodness, some of THE best Japanese soufflé pancakes I've ever had!! I'm obsessed with soufflé pancakes and whenever I travel always look for a place nearby that has them. They can be very difficult to find; especially good ones. We came twice, once on a Sunday morning and then on a Monday afternoon. Both times they weren't too busy and the pancakes took about 15-20 minutes. The staff were friendly and the place was super cute and kind of tucked away. I will be coming here anytime I'm in the Toronto area. 10/10.

A great spot for desserts. I've had the takeout version and prefer doing dine-in instead as it tastes much better when it's fresh and on a plate. Matcha Tiramisu: The pancakes are light and fluffy. Lots of matcha drizzle and mostly taste the matcha rather than tiramisu but was still delicious. Note that you have to pay at the front counter before you place a seat. It's a bit more on the casual side for service and tight in space, the seating will get filled up quickly. Overall, I had a great experience at this Fuwa Fuwa location!

This eatery is in the heart of The Annex. It was voted in the top 10 of places to eat and I understand why. This innocuous looking eatery houses the lightest and fluffiest pancakes you will find. The ladies make it fresh, including their cream that delicately finishes their Fuwa Fuwa Signature pancakes, which is what I ordered. It's shockingly very filling so I was so happy I had shared it with my husband. They also have an espresso machine and they can pull a fabulous latte. They also have cups and a water station should you want water. The service was wonderful as they take the tube to explain anything about their pancakes. It's a cozy place and the music is loud. It was hard to hear my husband as he sat opposite of me so we literally had to text each other as to how delicious the pancakes are. Definitely a must go to and try when in town.

A great, cute dessert place located in the Yorkville area of Downtown Toronto. Prices are quite good and the food is great, no matter what you get. Service is also excellent - quick, friendly and efficient. This place is definitely heaven for those with a sweet tooth. Your cravings will be fulfilled here!

Honestly the best soufflé pancakes I have ever had. We got the tiramisu pancake and the matcha red bean pancake. They were made to order so it did take some time to get the food. But it was 100% worth it! They were so fluffy, warm, and just perfect!! I would recommend this to everyone! I went right when they opened so I did not have to wait for seating. I can see it getting busy because the inside was a bit small.

We've wanted to try soufflé pancakes since they went viral, and we were so excited to try them at Fuwa Fuwa! The shop was so cute. There were so many options for pancakes and drinks, and we really want to go back and try more. We got the tiramisu pancakes to split, and they truly are as good as they look-- impossibly fluffy and a perfect tiramisu flavor. This is a must try! -@cophiescrumbs on insta

Soufflé pancakes ftw!! Eeek. I came just for those jiggly soufflé pancakes. They were so rich!! So creamy, so filling and super jiggly. This was the place that got my family to banned me from picking more pancakes! I've had so many pancakes on this visit: none were Japanese pancakes though. I usually prefer waffles over pancakes, unless they are Japanese soufflé pancakes. Came here for dinner: it's a good half hour walk from my hotel Park Hyatt Toronto. Thank god for that. It helps after with burning some of the calories off. Place is small, cute but smoky. They can use a vent! Or a fan. Very crispy inside from all the cooking. The girls here are super sweet: don't speak much English but super sweet. I tried their matcha tiramisu and the fruit forest ( original with fruits). I was told that it'll take 20 minutes and so it did. They were folding in all the egg fluffs! They were more than ok with me filming but the smoke prevented me from filing too much in the small kitchen. A good 25 minutes later: massive, gorgeous, super jiggly pancakes were on my table. Yummm!! Matcha tiramisu: delicious! Came with matcha sauce on the side, I didn't use it. So fluffy! Very eggy too. I wonder how many eggs were in each? The fruit forest: so many different fruit! Yummm. Came with syrup: I don't use syrup and I didn't need to. I couldn't finish any! But I was also very full after one pancake. Plan was to food hop around but I was too full. Such a fun meal though. The coffee/ drinks. They were the thumbs down of this meal. I got their ice latte ( very weak, so much milk) and mango drink. Very sweet! Skip both. Also tried their delicious strawberry ice cream. That was yummm! Overall, fun and very filling meal. Next time, I'll order 1!

No one can say no to fluffy pancakes. I think the pancakes are generally good but need to be shared with at least one more person.

We came half an hr before closing so they were only able to provide our order as take-out which was understandable. But I do think it impacted how the pancakes tasted and our experience overall. Taste-wise it was a lil too eggy for our liking.

Excellent Japanese pancakes. Think light, airy and fluffy. Go for the light toppings because you don't want to saturate the airiness of these babies with heavy sugary syrups. We order the Signature Pancake's which comes with berries, bananas and cream. Check-in with Yelp and you'll get a scooped of ice cream. We did! Place your order at the counter, grab a seat and place your number stand on the table. Then wait because these are made to order fresh. Counter seating and table seating is available but is limited. These are good. If you're a fan or haven't tried, Fuwa Fuwa makes damn good ones.

Extremely pretty pancake presentation for the raspberry banana pancakes. However, the food looked much better than it tasted. The pancakes were pretty mellow, and the raspberry syrup and cream were rather bland. The caramelized banana was tasty though. It's good if you don't like too sweet of desserts. Worth a try, but would not come back.

Fluffy fluffy is exactly how you can describe their soufflé pancake. They are so light, bouncy, and airy. I tried the original flavor, soufflé pancake, and blueberry cheese pancake. Their pancake is not sweet, so with the original flavor, they go with maple syrup and whipped cream, a light dessert that you can go with. Blueberry cheese pancake, is really special. Going with blueberry jam and cheese inside the pancake. They are in a really good match. The environment here is really nice. You can spend your tea time with friends here. But bear in mind, that the pancake is freshly made after you have ordered. Be prepared to wait for around 20 mins. Good food worth to wait right?

Souffle pancakes were so soft and fluffy! Will definitely come back to try the other flavors

Had these amazing pancakes for lunch and so hit the spot! Light, not overly sweet, so photogenic

This is a small Japanese fluffy soufflé pancake place. We walked passed it and did not even noticed it. Fuwa means fluffy in Japanese. There were so many to choose from, all are sweet ones. I decided on the Matcha Red Bean one. Very soft and melt in your mouth pancake. There are also sweet drinks on the menu. I opted for hot green tea. Good dessert place, near University of Toronto.

Heard from friends that Fuwa Fuwa is supposed to be the best spot for soufflé pancakes. So went to try it out! There were a few tables in the store so we took a seat: It was about 20 minute wait for our matcha tiramisu and matcha red bean pancakes. We also had the mango soda and strawberry soda (which was just fruit juice mixed with Sprite). Overly sweet for me so don't think I would order that again. As for the pancakes - really awesome presentation. However, I found the taste was mediocre. The matcha sauce was average but the pancakes were really heavy and rich with the whipped cream on top. Had I known there was going to be whipped cream I would have asked to opt out. It's good enough with matcha sauce. The strawberries and raspberries were a nice touch though as the acidity helped counter all the sweet. Having said that, this is a really filling dessert! This basically replaced dinner for me lol. All in all, a decent spot for dessert.

Got a BOGO crepe deal so came here on an afternoon and got a blueberry crepe while my brother got the strawberry sakura crepe. The crepes were good but nothing special - had a scoop of ice cream and sauce on the top with fresh fruit. The crepe had a hint of ?cinnamon and was made to order. I finished my plate but my brother did not enjoy the crepe. Only reason why I didn't give Fuwa Fuwa a higher rating was because of the okay service and the cleanliness of the store. There were questionable food handling practices (saw one of the workers making someone's crepe and holding a banana with his bare hands without gloves), dropping napkins on the floor and putting them back on the counter, touching utensils where they contact food, a pitcher with mango liquid running down the sides, and staff food and drinks near the food preparation area. Thus I will not return for these reasons.

Fuwa Fuwa makes the best Japanese Pancakes! These are fluffy! They are made to order once you go into the store. All of the toppings go with it. They are so jiggly when ready to eat. They are a bit slow on doing them, but it's worth the wait. There is definitely a technique on doing these, the batter, mixing in more ingredients, and cooking them. There is a science to this! When I paid in cash, they asked if I could get the exact amount. They didn't have any change. they said the majority of the customers pay with credit card. It seemed like they hadn't seen coins or change in their life! Weird way of operating their business. If you want to grow maybe ensure that your clients are able to pay in several forms of payment.

My nieces wanted to try these and each came to visit on separate weekends, so I got to try these TWICE! The first time, I wanted the mango, but it was still the last days of May, so they didn't have it. I got the original instead, which comes topped with cream, blueberries and strawberries. The texture and flavour surprised me at first - I thought the pancakes themselves would be sweet, but the sweetness was just in the berries and a touch in the cream. Texture is so nice. We had to wait a while on our first visit - the small place was full and it takes a while to make these and it looks like they've just got 2 hotplates going). On my second visit, they had the mango! This was delicious - the cream topper was sauced over in a delicate mango sauce and a plentiful cubed mango half finished the plate, plus a half kiwi :) My niece got the raspberry with caramelized banana and loved it. It's not inexpensive - $14-15 for each plate plus tax and tip - but it's a labour to make and there's plenty of real fruit. Treat yourself!

I've been to this place twice and got the Fuwa Fuwa Signature ($13.75) and the Tiramisu Pancake ($15.95). The pancake itself is very fluffy and not overly sweet. The cream on the signature pancake is not too heavy and goes well with the fruit. The tiramisu pancake is very similar, except it has less fruits and there is a tiramisu flavored cream. Overall, quite good. The pancakes do take a while to cook and there is a sign warning customers that the pancakes are made fresh to order and can take around 20 - 25 minutes. The actual store is quite small - there's maybe 3 tables and some bar seating.

My sister surprised me with this delightful fluffy pancake. She knows I love nutella, so she got me the nutella banana flavour. When it arrived, it came in a cute bag and little card was added to show you how to eat it. I did not follow instructions, stuffed my face and was super happy. Even through delivery, the pancakes were fluffy. A little cold, but texture is still good. Wished there were more slices of bananas. But overall yummy.

Came on a Saturday a little after open and there was no wait to be seated. Expected wait for pancakes as they are made to order. Super fluffy soufflé pancakes! Got matcha white chocolate and creme brûlée which both were delicious. Had the perfect amount of sweetness. I prefer the crunch from the brûléed sugar. Yuzu soda was refreshing. Would prefer sesame latte sweeter. The staff also super nice!

We were visiting town and I was in the mood for something different for breakfast. I googled a few options and Fuwa caught my eye. We jumped on the metro and arrived shortly after they opened around noon. We were greeted immediately. We placed an order at the counter and then we were told to grab a seat. They were not too busy. We waited about 15 minutes for our order and then it came out. We had ordered the blueberry lemon pancakes served with a scoop of ice cream. The plate looked incredible and we could not wait to dive in. The fluffiness of the pancake was incredible. It was not dense at all and had an amazing texture. The lemons had caramelized sugar on them and they really complimented the blueberries well. The scoop of ice cream was a perfect side for this dish. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit. The pancakes were amazing and the service was great. Awesome spot that we would highly recommend.

It's hard to find a dessert spot in Toronto after 6/7pm .. luckily this place stays open till late..and for that .. 5 stars! So versatile, can go from breakfast, brunch to anytime dessert, this is your spot. Always a great time at Fuwa Fuwa. Their pancakes are so soft and fluffy. I tried their matcha cake more recently and oh my, all matcha cravings satisfied! The service is also super fast. They have a few tables for dine in. We came here after dinner to grab some dessert and the place was mostly empty. I'll definitely be back to try more of their non pancake desserts!

i get it, who doesn't like pancake, especially when it is so fluffy, so soft and has whipped cream and fruits all over it. i understand the hype of japanese pancakes and i personlly love the trend too but this location simply just disappoints. 1. the WAIT for 1 pancake dish is outrageous, it is a small shop, and and they dont even sit that many people, but we waited for almost 40 mins for ours to come 2. they charge sooooooo much for their mediocre drinks, there was a mango milk drink, tbh it was the most disgusting drink I have had recently, it has extremely sweet and artificial mango puree, with just milk, and it was very expensive. i couldnt even took a 2nd sip, the artificial taste burns my throat. if you know the pancake take a long time, why don't you get a 2nd pancake maker? there were many people behind the counter, you shouldn't have trouble making more in one batch. i was there for a short sweet stop then it took me longer than eating some 3 course dinner, really shouldn't happen. will not come back.

The pancakes were so light and fluffy. The cream on top wasn't too sweet or heavy. The tartness of the fruit goes well with the slight sweetness of the cream. The latte wasn't the best, but it was still good. The wait was decent. It didn't take too long for our pancakes to come out. The inside of the store was small and cozy just how I like it!

Worth a visit if you love pancakes and angel cake textured desserts -- the wait is long (as made per order) but was tasty, creamy and truly light and airy -- plus the pancakes really do jiggles! Note: flavor is a big eggy--so if you're not into that, you may not like as much. Recommend trying their drinks too -- unique and refreshing!

Highly recommend! The Fuwa Fuwa pancakes were delicious!! Service was fast and friendly.

My friend and I wanted to relive our memories in Hong Kong when we had Japanese fluffy pancakes there. We were so excited to come here on a hot Monday afternoon to enjoy the fluffy pancakes again! We ordered at the counter first and then took a seat by the middle area (my friend said the cool air from the AC was great~). We ordered two Fuwa Fuwa iced lattes and a Tiramisu pancake. Thankfully, our drinks came really fast, our iced lattes helped us to quench our thirst. As the other Yelpers mentioned, water is not served for free. So you need to purchase a drink. Fuwa Fuwa iced latte- refreshing, cool, a bit strong (not really sweet). I liked that there was less ice. Tiramisu pancake- There were two pancakes with some fruits and came with a sauce on the side. The top one was much more fluffier than the bottom one (it was quite flat). They were still good, each piece melted in our mouths....yum! If you have a bigger appetite, you can order one for yourself to eat (and not share, haha)! The servers are friendly and the place is cozy! A good place to come to eat/drink and have a conversation~ Come to Fuwa Fuwa to have a good time!

Such a cute dessert spot if you're looking for something to fix your sweet tooth! The pancakes aren't too sweet and the toppings are just the perfect amount. Good attentive staff and located in an active part of town!

Today I've been at Fuwa Fuwa Japanese pancakes Cafe. The pancakes were so tasty But we ordered coffee americano, it was disgusting!! It's very important to have a good coffee with the desert!! the taste of coffee was like water, and the price is $5. It doesn't even worst it.... So disappointed

This was my first time trying fuwa fuwa pancakes and I am so happy I came here! One of the employees cleared off a table for me to sit on (they did a great job keeping the place clean), and the atmosphere was so humble. Once I got my Fruit Festival I was so happy! It looked cute! It looked airy, took a bite and was in pancake heaven! The fruits complimented with the cream and the pancake so well, the syrup was divine (honestly the syrup so much better than any place I've had in the states), and I was just so happy! I would def go again and bring my friends along with me!! Thank you again!

I was super excited to try this place! It is a small place and limited seating. If there is no seatings available and want to wait, they will have you leave your name and number and they will call you when a seat opens up. That's what I did. The sign on the counter said one order per person so I assume, you can't just share one order. Service was good and fast. All the pancakes are made fresh! It taste best when it is still hot and fresh! I ordered the tiramisu and it was so good! They give you the espresso drizzle on the side and you pour it on the pancake yourself. The pancake was so fluffy and tasty! I will come back and try something else next time!

I've been coming here since it opened, although admittedly less since I moved cities. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. The service is really friendly and helpful, they brought everything we needed to our table. I will say, however, that the glitz and trendy vibes of the place have seemingly deteriorated over the years and it no longer feels like the swanky date spot it once did.

I've been here a few times and love it every time. So fluffy and yummy and I just want to come back for more. The shop is so lovely and cozy! Definitely recommend, so so good!

This place is great. Pretty small shop and a little bit of a wait but in the end it was worth it. The prices were decent and the food was innovative and very nice to look at. The pancakes were CRAZY filling so don't expect to need to eat for a while

I LOVE FLUFFY PANCAKES! Keep in mind they take about 15-20 min to make. There's not much seating inside, so we came when they first opened and got seats immediately. LOOOOVED their pancakes! My fave was the creme brulee one, then matcha tiramisu. The mango one comes with a slice of real mango! They also have quite a variety of drinks - mango soda, mango latte, etc.

Tried a number of souffle pancakes in Toronto but Fuwa Fuwa has to be my top choice. Their pancakes are very light in flavour and texture and depending on what flavor you get, the sauces can enhance the pancakes as well. My personal fave is the original with some simple whipped cream and fresh fruit on the side. The simplicity really highlights the egg flavors in the pancakes themselves. Portion sizes are also quite generous. Prices are fair I would say. Presentation (dine in) is also ig worthy; take out is put together nice and neatly but the eating experience would be different. I would highly suggest dining in (once it's allowed).

This was definitely something very unique and intriguing, the soufflé pancake does take a while cuz they make it from scratch it'll take about 20-30 mins so find something to do till then we got, we got the matcha and red bean pancake the pancake comes with matcha ice cream which you put on top then add the cream and decorate with fruit they present it in a nice box with steps on how to eat it, the pancake was of the most moist pancakes other than mildreds that I've ever eaten, a little pricey but I'll still eat it again because it's that good, with the white jelly, and fresh whipped cream and what I most like about this dessert is it's not that sweet I hate sweet desserts, if you come here be patient cuz is worth the wait

It looks kawaii, however I never seen Japanese store seat is very dirty. Food is ok, not very impressive.

We came here instead of Hana Busa to avoid line ups, but fuwa fuwa has so little seating! We came on a rainy day but most of the seats were already taken. It would be difficult to come here with more than 2 people to be honest. We got the Raspberry and caramelized banana pancake, and Tiramisu pancake. The pancakes here are definitely aesthetics I had to quickly take this picture before the cream on top melted and flowed all over the plate (and before devouring it). They make the pancakes right in front of you which is nice. While it's definitely fluffier than a typical pancake, part of me hoped it would be even fluffier. Mine didn't really jiggle compared to some videos I have seen, but that's okay. I think I would like it more if there were more fruit on top. It was a decent dessert but I think it is more of a one time experience for me.

Fluffy and light pancakes! These reminded me of the time we had the souffle pancakes in Japan. Their lattes are also really good. There is a minimum order of one item per person. Although the restaurant is tight and the washroom dirty, that wouldn't stop me from coming. If only they had a location in Markham.

I've come here numerous times already. Service and the quality of the food never disappoint!

Lives up to the hype and reviews! Incredibly fluffy, light airy and delicious! My friend and I ordered the tiramisu and Nutella pancake respectively. Both were on point and infused with chocolate and coffee flavors! There was a coupon for free icecream with a Yelp check-in that there were a few issues with. So make sure the coupon pops up else it may be difficult to get your ice cream scoop for free! It definitely is on the pricey side, with additional fruit toppings cost quite the $$$ ($2 extra per strawberry!) Besides the price everything is great and would recommend worth trying!

Location/Service This place is along Bloor St, which is easily accessible by TTC, car parking is very limited. Inside the place is a little small, can prob fit around 5-6 tables. It was pretty busy when I went (had to wait for a seat), but people finish and leave quickly, so it's not too long of a wait. The decor is pretty simple. I like they use white colours to make it brighter and relaxing. Staff were pretty nice and fast with service. Food Each person dining in must spend a minimum of one item. I got their famous Japanese style pancake and also a cream puff. The cream puff was soft and creamy. It was from the fridge, so cool and refreshing, around $3.99. The Fuwa Fuwa Signature pancake was good too ($12.50). It is more expensive than I thought as a dessert. But the portion was pretty big. There's 2 pancakes topped off with some fruits and cream. The pancakes were airy to taste, did give that jiggly effect. But overall I thought it was pretty bland, didn't impress me that much with the taste and flavours. The cream and fruits compliment well, but didn't give a wow factor. Perhaps I haven't tried enough to know what's considered good, but it feels it's a bit overall of a gimmick trend. It's nice to come on a date or a small catch up with friends.

Oh my god. This place makes pancakes from heaven. Honestly after taking just one bite all my stress went away and I was taken to a wonderful place of pure joy. The pancakes here are SOO GOOD I don't know how else describe them. If you haven't tried them yet, go. Go now.

Place is really small! My friend and I decided to try this place after hearing about it. We had high expectations. It wasn't busy when we came in. We tried the creme brulee pancake. I'm not sure if it's just me or it tasted really EGGY? Every bite tasted like eggs to me. Not worth the hype!
