Fuwa Fuwa
About
Many note that the matcha flavor in their pancakes isn't as intense or strong as some might prefer. The Matcha Pancake ($12-$15) is commonly ordered, praised for its creamy eggy taste but can be too plain with whipped cream and matcha sauce. Tiramisu Pancakes ($14-$16) are enjoyed by many but can sometimes be a bit too sweet. Overall, the best fluffy pancakes I've ever had receive high praise here, though some find them not worth the $27 price tag. The cafe atmosphere is frequently described as small and cozy, making it ideal for solo diners or intimate gatherings. However, during off-peak hours, it can feel emptier than desired. Service quality is generally positive but has been noted to have a few drawbacks, like unadvertised menu items and staff behavior issues. Prices are reasonable overall, with additional charges on drinks but the quality of pancakes justifies the cost for many visitors. Guests appreciate the on-site services and takeaway options available at Fuwa Fuwa, though no-contact delivery is also an option.
