    I absolutely loved this place ! Everything was just perfect: service, food, ambience, people, all of it ♥️ tried the matcha latte and the golden latte both top. The pork and eggs with guacamole was just on another level ! Super delicious ! And to top it off we had the tiramisu pancake and that was wooooooow. Definitely coming here again :)

    My first experience here has been for an early breakfast and unfortunately I couldn't try the well known fluffy pancakes, that means I will need to come back. We ordered avocado toast which was delicious, with a nice fried egg on top. Service was a bit slow, I presume because it was very early yet. :p Need to come back, but very promising.

    I have been here countless times during the week and on weekends brunch and I was never disappointed. Great choice of foods and drinks, service is always super friendly. Highly recommended!

    Yum 😋 I came for coffee; and surprised to find such yummy savoy warm food in a chilly afternoon - 5-spice marinated tofu / mushroom over rice. So good! Portion is BIG. And coffee is perfect too 🤩. What a good find!

    Been craving for fluffy pancakes for a while. Me and my boyfriend found this place while watching tiktok 😂👍🏼 usually it’s full but we were lucky that they still have an available table. The pancakes are delicious! Craving satisfied. We will surely comeback!

    We ate a benedict guacamole and benedict korean chicken. I couldn't see any tomatoes or onions in the guacamole:) but it was ok. i like the miso hollandaise. I think benedict korean chicken was a heavy. Also there was cartilage in the chicken, not nice. Ceylon and jasmine tea were good.

    We absolutely had to try the fluffy pancakes, which were delicious (could be fluffier, but still recommend!). The toasts with poached eggs on the other tables looked amazing too! In summary, a must visit and try.

    😁 Fluffy and delicious Asian pancakes. The staff is client-oriented. 👉🏻 You need a reservation, make sure to call or to wait at the entrance for a while 🌱 Gluten-free and veggie options not included. 👨‍🦼 Difficult access - to small for a wheelchair. 👻 The place may be a bit noisy if you are sound sensitive, lights are OK. 🏳️‍🌈 OK

    Absolutely AMAZING place. Probably my favorite brunch spot in the whole city. Love the vibe, that it's Asian fusion, love the matcha and pumpkin spice lattes, love the stunning fluffy pancakes, love the avo toast, love the sunny terrace, love everything! It's amazing to go there for a brunch date with your loved one (did it myself a few times) or a friend, to just eat and talk, and then eat a bit more... ❤️

    Great place for fluffy Japanese pancakes. I had the crème brûlée chefs version and it was excellently put together. Coffee and iced tea were nice, but it’s the pancakes that you come for. Nice garden outside but it’s in the shade so bring a jacket.

    A new discovery for me. Totally unexpected as an Asian Cafe. They have several choices with Matcha flavoured dish and drinks. The Tiramisu Fluffy Pancakes are mind blowing. Friendly and english speaking waiters. Worth trying!

    - The food tasted good - Lack of flexibility on the menu (can’t trade beef for tofu f.e.) - Only one vegetarian bowl - We booked a table for 1 pm, but there was already no chicken nor beef (reduces dramatically the choices) - As a small place, it was crowded and very noisy.

    Extraordinary Brunch!! We ate on the terrace which was protected from the wind and rain which is a plus. The food was AMAZING! Not only did it look pretty, but it also tasted delicious. You must eat here!

    Kafei at Louise offers an exceptional experience for breakfast and brunch enthusiasts. Nestled in the heart of Avenue Louise, this Asia-inspired gem stands out with its unique flavours and inviting ambience. The pancakes, in particular, are a standout delight—truly exceptional. A must-visit for those seeking a delightful fusion of Asian-inspired breakfast options in a prime location. On weekends is a bit noisy but this relates to the excitement of their customers. To repeat as much as possible.

    After ages, I finally tried this place and it was amazing!!! Usually, I’m not the biggest fan of pancakes but I have to say I was quite surprised to find how light are fluffy pancake! And it’s soooo yummy!! The staff was also quite nice towards us :) ! Good place to try with your friends! Food is good and fresh ! 😁

    The best pancakes I've ever had - incredible. Really nice cafe in an unassuming location. Everything on the menu looked good - I'll have to come back.

  • 5/5 Vivian D. 2 months ago on Google • 46 reviews New
    We had a super friendly waitress, and the pancakes were so good! They warn you about the wait (20 min) but it wasn't too bad. We took our coffees to go, loveeeee that there's so many milk alternatives! We'll be back 🥰

  • 4/5 Thuy An B. 4 months ago on Google • 41 reviews
    I liked that they tried to vary the flavours by offering hojicha latte, hojicha fluffy pancakes, miso-hollandaise and a very good veggie option with qualitative mushrooms. Pancakes are very light and flavoursome. Looking forward to come back in Spring/winter to enjoy the outside.

  • 5/5 Roberta DAngiolella (. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing brunch, lovely stuff, reasonable prices. I highly recommend the fluffy pancakes, they are heaven. They also have a terrace.

    Food and service was poggers. Bingsu was pretty good too. Their chef max was super nice what a cool guy

  • 4/5 Kong le F. 2 months ago on Google • 7 reviews New
    Nice place to eat some delicious fluffy pancakes. We took the menu pancake + toast, it was copious dishes, so order that if you are hungry! Be aware that there is a waiting to have a seat, so you should probably try to make a reservation if you want to get inside quicker. We didn’t and had the chance to only wait like 10-15 minutes. The staff is very friendly, and the food arrive very quickly

  • 5/5 carolina c. 2 years ago on Google
    Tiramisu pancakes are out of this world! As well as the pork Benedict eggs. Highly recommend Kafei!

  • 5/5 Noorain Nazim M. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the most delicious pancake ever. Amazing service, cute terrasse and delicious food! Definitely going here for all my future brunch cravings!

  • 5/5 Sara G. 6 months ago on Google
    Super fluffy and tasty pancakes. We also had a toast with Benedict eggs, they were quite fulfilling. I really liked all well the cappuccino with oat milk and the juice of the day (today was strawberry, apple and raspberries)

  • 5/5 laura J. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, pet friendly and excellent staff & service.

    Karaage warm rice, Gangnam warm rice, Original fluffy pancake, Ice cafe latte, Comfortable cafe, neat interior(inside), cool terrace(outside), friendly staff, convenient transportation...everything is good!

  • 5/5 iurii S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very tasty ( their eggs are amazing) and cosy, they have an inside terrace. Also they work until 5pm without lunch break. We loved everything we tried, pancakes we shared, it was a big portion :)

  • 2/5 liza t. 11 months ago on Google
    Overrated place. The fresh apple juice wasn’t actually freshly made. Eggs benedict on the duck sandwich were overcooked. The duck was well-made though. Fluffy pancakes look good, but the taste is underwhelming. Acai bowl was okay. Overall, wouldn’t go there again, and wouldn’t recommend.

  • 4/5 Maria-Elena C. 7 months ago on Google
    The pancakes look good, but the taste is not the best. Also, the waiting time for the order was a bit too long. Overall, it is an experience that should be tried.

  • 5/5 Eva L. 8 months ago on Google
    If you like to have brunch you will definitely like this place. The eggs Benedict and fluffy pancakes are my favorite. I would suggest to book in advance as the place is pretty popular. The staff is always really polite and friendly. They speak english and French.

  • 5/5 Niklas K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of eggs Benedict dishes. We can highly recommend the mushroom version as it’s so different and simply so good. The star of the menu are the fluffy pancakes. We had the tiramisu pancakes and they’re one of a kind. Also the coffee and ice tea are very good. Would recommend to reserve in advance as we tried walk ins several times and the restaurant was fully booked on weekends.

  • 5/5 Aldhira P. 9 months ago on Google
    Since the pancake takes quite sometime to be ready dont come when you are really hungry. The outside area is beautiful in summer. The Ube coco pancake’s really lovely.

  • 3/5 Gizem A. 2 years ago on Google
    We tried benedicte egg salmon and tiramisu fluffy pancake. It was okay, but not really to my taste. Matcha tea… not to my liking as well. You need to wait even though you have a reservation.

  • 5/5 Donna F. 1 year ago on Google
    I was excited to visit here because I was hoping to recreate some of my fave hipster cafe in SE Asia experiences and I wasn't disappointed. The only trouble is I will need to comeback many times to try everything I want to eat on the menu! The staff are really warm and friendly and squeezed me in even though I turned up on a Sunday morning without a booking -opps! The coffee was fantastic and the fluffy chocolate pancakes delicious!

  • 4/5 Kim F. 10 months ago on Google
    Food was very very good! Would recommend to share plates because some dishes are too sweet or too salty for one person!

  • 5/5 Joemel R. 9 months ago on Google
