I was in the mood for pancakes, so I decided to visit a restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. I had to wait for about 15 minutes for them to cook, but it was incredibly delicious! Even though I've been losing my taste for sweet foods lately, I devoured it all! For those who can handle a little sweetness, eating 2 pancakes is just right!

I wanted to eat fluffy pancakes! I chose a set with two plain pancakes with maple syrup for 1080 yen and an iced coffee for 300 yen. The pancakes were fluffy but seemed a bit lacking in eggs. They were a bit pale in color. The coffee was strong but paired well with the dessert.

It's been a long time since I visited Abeno Q's Mall. I found a really stylish pancake shop there. I decided to try their Morning Set (980 yen) even though it was almost lunchtime. I ordered maple syrup and grapefruit juice. I mistakenly thought it was grape juice. The pancakes were fluffy and melted in my mouth, just like the trend a few years ago. They were so delicious that I could eat them all day. It was a great meal!

A friend mentioned that this place is frequently passed by, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered three Mont Blanc pancakes with soft serve ice cream on top, a set with iced coffee, and a grapefruit juice as a single item. The pancakes were delicious as usual. Thank you for the meal.

In late May, I went to Tennoji. It was a bit early for lunch, but I decided to try this restaurant that had caught my eye before. The name of the restaurant is "Elk New York Brunch", located on the B1 floor of Abeno Q's Mall. Although it may not seem like a place for an old man like me, I consider myself to have the heart of a young girl. The dish that caught my attention was the "4 kinds of cheese fondue, grilled sausage, pancake". I had been hesitant to try a pancake restaurant before because I thought it would take a long time to prepare, but this time I had plenty of time. I ordered the set menu which cost 1,480 yen. I also chose a grape juice as my drink for 250 yen. The total payment was 1,730 yen. It took about 15 minutes for the dish to be ready, so I was given a device and took my seat. The restaurant had 8 4-person tables and 7 2-person tables in a spacious dining area. The pancake menu included various options like plain pancake, chocolate nut banana brulee pancake, strawberry pancake, caramel salt tiramisu pancake, mont blanc pancake, and more. You could also add soft serve ice cream topping for an additional 200 yen, and choose between 2 or 3 pancakes. Interestingly, if you order after 12:00 PM, the dish I ordered becomes a set with a drink for 1,280 yen, which seems like a great deal. There was also a morning set from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM where you could get 2 plain pancakes with a drink for 860 yen. I received a call about 15 minutes after ordering, and went to the counter to pick up my pancake. It was the only savory pancake on the menu, topped with melting cheese, grilled sausage, and plenty of vegetables. The pancake was not as thick as I expected, and 3 pieces seemed just right. The combination of slightly sweet pancake and savory cheese fondue worked well. The grilled sausage was also substantial, accompanied by brown mushrooms, potatoes, bell peppers, and fresh vegetables, with tomato sauce as a nice touch. By the end of the meal, I was satisfied and full. While it was more of a lunch than a dessert, I might come back to try the plain pancake morning set next time. Thank you for the meal!

Pancakes have a huge volume, so it would be nice to have pancakes with a little less quantity. As you get older, it becomes harder to eat a lot. I wonder if the buzzer for calling is adjustable in volume. It's surprising when it suddenly makes a loud noise and vibrates. I've always been curious about matcha pancakes, as I haven't seen them around here. They were delicious.

I've been wanting to go in for a while, but I always just passed by without going in. Finally, this time! After having a full dinner with my friends, I was able to eat plain pancakes without any problem haha. They had maple syrup and honey, and this time I chose honey ^_^ I had it with hot black tea. The pancakes were fluffy and had a lot of honey on them, but the batter itself was also sweet so I couldn't finish it all (^^;) The whipped cream wasn't too sweet, so I managed to eat most of it. I got the vibe of the place, it didn't feel heavy in my stomach, so I'll definitely come back after work again♪

3 years? 4 years? Has it been that long? I suddenly remembered and stopped by the hair salon. They serve morning until 12pm, plain pancakes for ¥860, and if you make it just in time, it becomes lunch (*≧∀≦*) Pretty sneaky, right? (laughs) To be able to eat fluffy pancakes at this price makes me so happy (o^^o) I chose maple syrup over honey. The meringue here is amazing too. Oh, it's self-serve so let's go grab it. It was empty at this time so I could relax. This place is my favorite. I don't usually eat pancakes, but if it's pancakes, elk. They are all delicious though. The morning set is a good deal, I think.

I had a snack at Osaka Kuidaore for snack time. I had tried elk in Nagoya, but my companions recommended this place as the best, so we came here. Since I had already tried the plain flavor, I ordered the Mont Blanc pancake. We were given a number bell and waited for a while. When the bell rang, we went to pick up our order. The pancake was a fluffy souffle pancake. Unlike the plain one I had in Nagoya, the Mont Blanc sauce and cream were quite good. The delicious addition made the elk's pancake, which I had found only gentle in taste, even better. I give it a basic rating of 3 stars. The prices are not too high, and the flavored pancakes might be worth a try. YouTube link: https://youtu.be/U5FlYUu3BiM

In the evening on a regular day, my daughter wanted to eat pancakes! We could choose between 2 or 3 pieces, and also between maple syrup or honey. The pancakes were fluffy, and we shared 3 pieces between the two of us. I ended up eating them enthusiastically, thinking "I could probably eat about 10 of these." They were delicious. Despite their appearance, they weren't too sweet, so I felt refreshed after eating them. You can also add ice cream as a topping, so if you like it sweet, adding ice cream would probably satisfy you.

I decided to enter the restaurant because I only saw about three groups around 4 o'clock on weekdays. I was a bit anxious being alone. I ordered and paid at the counter first, then received a buzzer to pick up my order. Water was self-serve, and I had to place my used dishes on a cart. It was smooth since it was not crowded, but it might be tough for me if it was busy. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious. It was nice that I could choose two pieces.

This is a store located inside Abeno Q's Mall. It is a chain store that is expanding from Kanto to Kyushu. They offer a variety of menu items including Strawberry Pancakes and Ginger Ale Set. In addition to pancakes, they also have authentic burger options. I hadn't eaten since morning and it was already snack time, so I thought about getting a burger set, but ended up ordering pancakes. The souffle pancakes are made to order from scratch, so it takes some time to be served, but they are delicious when freshly made. The strawberry jam on top is sweet and tangy, but the light and fluffy texture of the pancake makes it easy to eat. It had been a while since I had pancakes. Thank you for the meal!

I found a café in Kyoto that I really liked, so I decided to visit another branch nearby. However, I was a bit disappointed this time. I wasn't greeted upon entering, and I had to go back to the entrance to place my order. The presentation of the food was messy and lacked the excitement I felt during my first visit. Maybe the café in Shinsaibashi was better? It seems like cafés often have human errors.

The pancakes here are fluffy and have a medium rare texture, making them very easy to eat. The butter is honestly more delicious than the pancakes at this restaurant. You can add 100 yen to the regular price to get three pancakes, but I think two pancakes might be just right. If you want to share, then I recommend getting three pancakes. It might be a bit too much for one person. This time, my wife had the strawberry pancakes, and I had the Mont Blanc pancakes. The Mont Blanc pancakes are incredibly delicious with a strong chestnut flavor. Please give them a try, you won't regret it.

Taste and ease of eating... ★★★★☆ Customer service... ★★★☆☆ Atmosphere of the restaurant... ★★★★☆ Likelihood of revisiting... ★★★★☆ This restaurant is located on the basement floor of Abeno Q's Mall. You need to place your order and pay in advance. The seating is free, but it can feel a bit crowded as the tables are not spaced out much. During busy times, the front tables may be full and you may need to go to the back tables, which can be a bit inconvenient. I had never gone out to eat pancakes before, but I was very satisfied with my experience here. They offer a variety of sweet and savory pancakes, but this time I tried the plain pancakes (2 pieces for ¥900). It took about 10-20 minutes for the pancakes to be ready. The taste was unexpectedly fluffy and moist. The whipped cream was soft and easy to mix with, and there was plenty of honey in the cup. I was worried that 2 pieces might be too much for me as I have a small appetite, but I ended up finishing them in no time! It's a good place to stop by when you want to treat yourself to something luxurious.

☆ After visiting a beauty salon near Abeno Bridge in Tennoji Kintetsu Osaka, I decided to treat myself to a snack. There was a photo of delicious-looking pancakes on the storefront that caught my eye every time I passed by Abeno Q's Mall. I finally decided to go in when I saw some nice seats available. The place had a decent amount of customers, but I managed to find a good spot where I could maintain social distance. I went to the counter to place my order. I opted for the Plain Pancakes with honey and maple syrup drizzled on top, along with a hot coffee with honey. The pancakes were fluffy and moist, not overly sweet. They tasted even better with the honey on top. After finishing my meal, I cleaned up my table. It was a delicious treat! Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was in Abeno. It's a support lunch for a restaurant that is still open despite the pandemic. We had lunch at a restaurant called "ELK New York Branch" on the basement floor of Abeno Q's Mall. I had the "Teriyaki Egg Burger", my child had the "New York Burger", and my wife had the "Pancake Egg Benedict". After lunch, we also had fluffy "pancakes". I had the Mont Blanc pancake (^O^)/ This place is a self-service cafe located inside Abeno Q's Mall where you can enjoy fluffy pancakes. The burgers and Egg Benedict were delicious, but the pancakes were the highlight. They were so fluffy. The pancakes were really delicious~~~

I went to Abeno Q's Mall. After shopping elsewhere, I wanted to take a break and have some cafe time here. You order and pay at the entrance first. Plain pancakes with maple syrup or honey, 2 pieces for 900 yen. By the way, 3 pieces for 1000 yen. It's a good deal because you can add an extra piece for 100 yen, but in the end, 2 pieces were enough. However, the pancakes were too fluffy, to the point where they didn't even feel like pancakes anymore. While famous brunch spots in N.Y. like Clinton Street Baking Company and Sarabeth's also have fluffy pancakes, these ones are on a different level. Most importantly, toppings like fruits, vegetables, and cheese are necessary to add flavor to these pancakes. I felt that the minimum level of customer service was necessary, and at this point, my preconceptions were not good, which could lead to a pattern of everything not tasting good. I gathered my thoughts and tried to approach it with an open mind, and this is my honest opinion after trying it.

I bought Taiwanese Castella from a street vendor at 1:00 PM. It was my first time trying Taiwanese Castella. Unlike regular Castella, it was fluffy and not too sweet, which I found delicious. I thought it would be even tastier with whipped cream.

The other day, I went to Marufuku Coffee Shop and had some pancakes that were kind of powdery and not very satisfying, so I decided to come here. It's a self-service system where you order first, get a vibrating buzzer, and then pick up your order. It seems like you're supposed to secure a seat after ordering, but isn't that backwards? You can choose between 2-piece and 3-piece pancakes, which I really like. I'm here with my child, so 2 pieces is too much and 1 piece is a little too little. It takes about 15 minutes for the pancakes to be ready. The pancakes are fluffy and melt in your mouth. Not only are the pancakes delicious, but the caramel sauce and cream are also tasty! And the portion size is generous. I will definitely come back. It was disappointing that there was no apology when I pointed out that my drink order was missing.
