    Pancakes were absolutely unreal. I went to Flippers yesterday and thought those pancakes were good - until I tried this place. These pancakes were so incredibly light and fluffy - truly like eating clouds and with a filling so they were moist. They weren't too sweet but were served with sweetened whipped cream and maple syrup anyway. DELICIOUS. Word of warning though: - These pancakes are made fresh when you order and will not be ready quickly. It specifies on the menu that these will take 30 minutes and that was accurate - There will most likely be a line. I came at 4.15pm on a weekday and there was a line - Despite Google saying they close at 6pm, this is not the case. Last orders are taken at 5pm and they are very strict on this - even if you are already in the queue. I got very lucky and managed to squeeze my way in as the last customer and getting in around 4.55pm, but I would suggest not getting there too late in the afternoon in case you are turned away

    The pancakes were good but the waiting time was really long. I will probably never come back here. As they are preparing each pancake one by one and not in batch it takes for hours. We waited 2h. They don’t have a list system so it was really frustrating to wait out side while seeing half of the restaurant empty. I know other places less expensive and you don’t need to wait in front of the restaurant.

    This is a very late review. We came here quite some time ago following a recommendation and walked by again recently and realized we had some pictures. Highly recommend this cafe if you're looking for yummy jiggly pancakes and other delightful treats! Come early before a line forms as it's a popular spot just off the popular Cat Street in Omotesando. It's totally worth it!

    We reached before the shop opens ard 9.55am there is already a queue. We were seated around 11am and then waited another 45mins for our pancakes to be served. Honestly there is nothing fascinating about the pancakes in fact i felt abit jelat after few bites. If i had known i won't have waited so long for this. We have had better pancakes than this where we dont have to wait. We went for ramen straight after because we were too hungry and definitely need something much more satisfying.

    The pancakes are overhyped. Honestly the fluffy pancakes were a bit undercooked and didn’t even taste of anything. Fresh fruit topping or something is definitely needed to elevate the pancakes. The regular coconut custard pancakes were dry and not nice at all. Won’t be going back. Anyone know a better pancake place? Please let me know. Coffee was not bad. Service was good. Wait was very long - not worth the one hour plus wait in line. Find somewhere else to go for fluffy pancakes.

    One of the better fluffy pancake eatery in Tokyo - personally I preferred the fluffy ricotta pancake here instead of A Happy Pancake. Their regular pancake was good too tho I’d recommend spending your calories on their fluffy variations, it’s super yummy! Word of caution: come here only when you are not rushed for time. I queued before opening and got seated as soon as they opened but had to wait 30 mins for the pancakes to be served.

    The fluffy pancakes were awesome. Would t recommend ordering an extra sauce though. We were first in line so we didn’t wait. They make the pancakes as orders come - one by one! That’s why you might have to wait 30-50 mins for your pancakes

    We decided to adopt "the early bird catches the worm" mentality and arrived before the official opening time of 10am on a Sunday morning. Shortly after the doors opened, we were about 1 of 3 customers who all ordered the signature fluffy ricotta cheese pancakes along with a iced matcha latte to share. The atmosphere was great and service by staff members were attentive for our session. The food was delivered to us in a very timely manner and we were not disappointed by the taste. Very glad that we were able to tick this off our places to visit during our first official morning of our recent stay in Japan after many years of not coming back. Would definitely recommend this place to others if they're keen to try jiggly and tasty fluffy pancakes around the Jingumae / Harajuku area.

    Waited 1.5 hours in line on Sunday after arriving within 15 min of place opening (10am). Some tourists kept talking and blocked tables for hour, insensitive to others waiting in line. Ordered Matcha Latte, Chestnut Latte, two seasonal pancakes and the fluffy pancake. Food and drinks were okay, nothing special. EXCEPT the Ricotta Super Fluffy Pancake which is why you should visit this place. BEST PANCAKE I EVER HAD. The ambience of this place is cute, very Instagrammable. Servers are nice except the one guy who forcefully closed the menu on my phone because he only wanted menu to be open on one phone on the table which was a bit rude. Oh and the maple syrup: surprised to see it was Costco Maple syrup. Guess globalization means you fly to Japan to have Kirkland brand syrups. Would have appreciated a local maple syrup.

    We got there around 11 am after it's open. It's already packed. We waited roughly 15' for a table for 2. We ordered the signature souffle pancake & the seasonal souffle ( pumpkin flavor). We were being notified it'd take 30' to make the souffle pancake. We also ordered their seasonal drinks as well. If you're a hardcore fan of pumpkin, you should check it out. If not, stick with OR souffle pancake if you're first time here. You'd love it. I wish they would place all 3 pancakes on the plate instead of stacking them up. The bottom & middle ones get thick, dense & less spongy, airy texture. I enjoy the top one very much. The taste is light, perfect amount of sweetness & puffy & jiggly. Imagine you are chewing cloud but with flavor of egg & cream. The souffle has ricotta filling inside. The dish has syrup on the side. Strongly recommend the souffle pancake.

    Pancakes like I’ve never had before. Super fluffy and delicious. Smoked salmon eggs benny was really flavourful. Really yummy matcha latte. The short line is definitely worth the wait. They take you order before you come in for a shorter wait. Staff was all super friendly.

    Pancakes here are some of the best I have had. Better than happy pancake. The yogurt was great as was the drinks. The draw back is that you have to wait at least an hour to hour in half when getting there before it opens. Also the staff doesn’t turn over tables quickly, so it adds greatly to the wait. With that said, you will be hard pressed to find a better Japanese style soufflé pancake in Tokyo. If it was based on taste alone, this would be a 5 star review, but the wait times take away from the experience. Would recommend if you have time.

    Walked in just before 12 pm on a weekday and was lucky to get the last table available. While the waiter did let us know that the soufflé pancakes would take 30-40 minutes to come out, we waited much longer than that for pancakes that were underwhelming. The service and interior were nice, but having had soufflé pancakes numerous times before, these were personally not worth it (especially considering the wait).

    The pancake is so good!!! We ordered the Christmas special and signature pancake, both of them are very fluffy and tasty!! Almost the second best that I had! And their caramel latte is smooth and creamy , and not too sweet, highly recommended!

    Eggs Benedict and their staple pancakes are delicious! There was a long line out the door around 1:00 on a Saturday and the pancakes themselves take at least 30 minutes to come out. Good ambiance and kind staff ~

    Amazing, silky, fluffy, airy piece of heaven in your mouth. Go for their signature pancake with ricotta cheese for your first visit (with butter and maple strop only). I already tried various pancake household names in Tokyo but so far this one is probably the best. The staff is very friendly too.

    Very good fluffy pancakes - but depending on your schedule, they may not be worth the wait. We waited 35 minutes outside, and 45 minutes to be served after placing our order (the restaurant has signs that state the wait time may be up to 30 minutes). To be fair, I’d score the pancakes 4.5/5. The host who came outside and gave out menu instructions needs a lesson on how to treat customers like the adults they are - customers were polite but this guy even went so far as to snatch the QR menu before I had a chance to even read it. Not nice - point deducted. Poor table management (assigning a table of 4 to 2 people)left many customers waiting needlessly.

    These fluffy pancakes together with walnut pancakes are really great! We had them for a late breakfast. The only negative is that they are quite expensive - 2 x breakfast and 2 x coffee around 4.600 yen - but to be fair it was really good! 👍👍👍

  • 5/5 Quinten van 't H. 9 months ago on Google • 49 reviews
    Best fluffy panckes ever, they are so soft and flavorful. We had the specialty with filling and topped off with some butter and maple syrup. 10/10 would recommend going there. They close early so take note of that. It takes about 20 minutes to make the pancakes.

    Micasadeco & Cafe Jingumae is a charming cafe in Tokyo with a cozy atmosphere and lovely decor. The menu offers a variety of delicious dishes, including pancakes and sandwiches. The desserts are a must-try, especially the fluffy souffle pancakes. The service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

  • 3/5 Cathy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Not worth the hype. Quite little cafe, Instagramable but not worth the 1.5 hour wait on a Saturday before midday. Risotto was too heavy and oily and with a very strong cheese taste. Drinks come in a glass filled only up to 3/4s. Pancakes were okay but nothing special.

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a little line/wait, maybe around 20 minutes. Sent the wife and kids (9 & 11) shopping while I waited. The soufflé pancakes were wonderful! But, so was everything we had... the regular pancakes with coconut custard, the matcha latte, the English breakfast tea, the cheese omelet with tomatoes, and the eggs benedict with salmon. All tasted great! No complaints; the whole family said they would recommend it for more than just the cute/yummy soufflé pancakes.

  • 5/5 Robert W. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice spot for brunch or coffee. The was great, as expected in that area, the chicken+tomato-pancake lunch set worked really well together, but we all know why you went here: those fluffy pancakes. They were just as delicious like you image. If you want to experience what „melts in your mouth means“ try them

  • 5/5 Just Kayse and K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best pancake in town! Great place to take a good rest after shopping in Harajuku. Go at 11am (opening time of the cafe; 10am at weekends / holidays) if you do not want to queue for long.

  • 4/5 Cowie & P. 4 years ago on Google
    Yummy fluffy pancakes! It's a very popular place but they have a waiting list so you just need to put down your name and they will tell you what time your table will be ready. Ours was a 20min wait so we went for a coffee nearby. All their pancakes look so good but they are famous for their fluffy ones so we ordered 1 original one and 1 seasonal one. The are so fluffy, airy, I finished mine very quickly! We both preferred the seasonal one as the original one is too plain. This cafe is cash only.

    Famous for their jiggly soufflé pancake, Micasadeco is a must-visit cafe when in Tokyo. This hidden gem—which is near Shibuya, is tiny but cozy. Even if you’re not into pancakes, try what they offer for a more colorful Tokyo visit ☺️

  • 5/5 Lea B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best fuwafuwa pancake in Tokyo in my opinion. I've tried several seasonal pancakes but my favorite is still the nature one with butter and maple sirop. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Miss S. 2 years ago on Google
    The pancakes here were very good! We had the seasonal Banana/rosemary pancakes, perfect mix of fluffy pancakes, banana topped with caramel sauce & w/ a touch of cinnamon & rosemary

😐 I have read a lot of good reviews for that however this is rather small place which seems a bit odd to me. When we entered it was full of strange looking people who seems to enjoy getting drunk and looking in to (to)young Japanese girls. I know it is part of Japanese modern culture but it does seems...
