This is a review of Happy Pancake in Omotesando. I came as a companion to my friend's favorite restaurant, and as usual, it was extremely crowded. We didn't have to wait in line as we arrived just before closing time, but once everyone was seated, the waitstaff was in full swing. It was a mad rush. I decided to prioritize securing a table, so I ordered a drink first and waited. Once the place was full and things calmed down, I ordered the Happy Pancake for ¥1100. They usually make 6 pancakes at a time, so it's enough for two people. The pancakes were fluffy like omelettes, made without baking powder but using only eggs to rise, resulting in a fine texture and a delicious, fragrant finish. The honey buttercream was well-balanced and melted nicely. It's made with fermented butter, but it's not spread on the surface like a crepe, so the aroma is subtle. The caramel sauce mixed with the buttercream adds a slightly salty kick, enhancing the flavor. The first pancake had a nice egg aroma, and the second one tasted even better with the buttercream. Warm pancakes alone are a treat. The pancakes were thick, so by the third one, I felt the buttercream was running out. I may have been too greedy with the second one (laughs). It's a delicate balance. The fluffy, fragrant pancakes were beautifully done. As a companion, I enjoyed them thoroughly (laughs). Bon appétit!

As other reviews mentioned, there were many foreign customers, but it didn't bother me much as I am used to being around foreigners. I will focus more on the taste rather than the customer base. The fluffy pancakes themselves were not very flavorful, so if you expect them to be sweet, you might find them lacking. They taste better when you add the cream and other toppings. I personally felt that the pancakes had a strong egg flavor, but my husband, who likes eggs, didn't mind it. It was a bit disappointing that the pancakes were warm, but the fruits were kept at room temperature and ended up being cold. I would have preferred them to be cold too. The fact that the drinks were served in plastic cups for dine-in, despite the emphasis on sustainability nowadays, was also a downside for me. The service from the staff was good, nothing exceptional. Overall, if asked if I would want to eat there again, I would say it's okay, so I rated it 2.5 stars.

Many foreign customers were informed upon entering the shop that pancakes take some time to cook. The menu also had English translations. I ordered the "Happiness Pancakes" with vanilla ice cream topping (total 1,600 yen). It was served in about 30 minutes after being seated. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious! It made me feel happy from the morning. I will definitely come back again.

Located on the calm street of Omotesando, I was able to enter the restaurant without waiting in line on that day. I ordered the Tiramisu Pancakes. Although I was torn between choosing the Chocolate Banana, the bitter taste of the Tiramisu complemented the sweet and fluffy pancakes, and I finished them in no time.

I visited at 14:30 on a regular day and was able to enter smoothly. There were many foreign visitors. I ordered the salmon avocado pancake for lunch. The pancake was fluffy and the combination of salmon and sour cream was delicious. The avocado also went well with it. The "Happiness Pancake" was okay, but not as good as I expected. I imagined it would be more fluffy, sweet, and tasty. It was quite different from what I had in mind. Thank you for the meal.

Certainly, the texture was fluffy, fluffy, fluffy. However, the taste was a bit disappointing compared to what I had expected. It took about 20 minutes for the food to be served, even though I went there on a weekday afternoon. This time I tried the most popular flavor, but I would like to try other flavors next time.

I finally went to try the famous pancakes that I had been curious about. There was quite a line before lunchtime. They said it would take 30-40 minutes after ordering, and it did indeed take that long. About half of the customers were foreigners, so maybe it has been featured somewhere. The pancakes were fluffy and freshly made, very delicious. The price was not that high. Three pancakes were quite filling. It was really tasty.

I visited during the day on a weekday, so I was able to enter without waiting in line. There were customers of various ages, including many foreign tourists. Although I was told that the pancakes would take 30 minutes, they arrived in about 15 minutes. They were fluffy, giving me the sensation of eating air. The whipped cream was not too sweet, just right, and the fruit topping was piled high, making me very satisfied.

I wonder if it could be sweeter. It's fluffy, with three pieces stacked and topped with cream. I thought it would be a battle of sweetness at the end, but before I knew it, I had finished it all ♡♡ It's totally delicious!!! I could even eat another plate or two w Cream is just the right softness and sweetness Pancakes are fluffy and delicious even my friend who loves espresso was satisfied There was almost no line at 4:00 on a weekday, but it was almost full I want to go again ♡

I ordered the "Happy Pancakes" (my friend got the Banana Whip, third option). I added ice cream as a topping. I also asked for coffee as a set, which they brought to me first, but it took about 30 minutes for the pancakes to be ready, so they ended up getting cold. I should have ordered the drink at the same time as the pancakes instead of drinking water first (my mistake). The pancakes were really delicious! The Manuka honey wasn't too sweet, and the batter wasn't overly sweet either (it had a hint of saltiness). Adding ice cream as a topping was a good choice. The pancakes were fluffy and I devoured all three of them. Surprisingly, they were quite filling! The restaurant was clean and since it was not crowded, they didn't force us to sit in a smaller table, which was nice. The dividers were placed in a way that prevented awkward face-to-face seating (conversation prevention) and instead faced towards the next table, which I appreciated. Oh, the handwashing area in the restroom was broken, which was inconvenient. I hope they fix it soon.

Fluffy pancakes with a strong egg flavor! The syrup, which you can ask for, has a slightly bitter and delicious taste. The fruit toppings are plentiful and delightful. I visited without a reservation around 3 pm on a weekday. The wait time was over 30 minutes, and it took another 30 minutes for the order to be served, so I recommend making a reservation!

I have been to the Shinjuku location before, so in that sense, this was my second time enjoying Happy Pancake. We went without a reservation and had to wait in line for a while, including the cooking time, but it was still worth it for the delicious taste. There were also many foreign customers. If you have other plans, it might be a good idea to make a reservation in advance.

I had been craving pancakes for a while, so I decided to visit this place that was recommended to me. I wanted something a bit refreshing, so I ordered the one with strawberries on top. It was delicious! Perfect for those with a sweet tooth. Just as the name suggests, I left feeling completely satisfied and happy.

I finally jumped on the pancake boom and went to eat at a restaurant in Omotesando. I visited around 10 am on a Saturday and was able to sit down without waiting. I ordered the "Pancake of Happiness." It looked like a lot, but it was fluffy, so I finished it quickly. However, it was a bit on the larger side for a snack. It might be just right for breakfast. When I sprinkled powdered sugar and syrup on it, it melted and tasted exquisite. The cream on top was a slightly firm and sweet cream cheese, which was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I was able to enter the restaurant smoothly without waiting. It was my first time trying the "Happy Pancakes" and they were very fluffy and not heavy at all. I finished them quickly by myself! The pancakes were so fluffy and delicious. I would like to try the seasonal limited edition version next time.

It's been a while since I had such delicious pancakes. I found this place while looking for a spot nearby for a meeting with light snacks and Wi-Fi to work. It was around noon on a weekday, and the restaurant was about half full. It takes about 20 minutes from ordering to get the pancakes, so please be aware if you're in a hurry. The restaurant is located on the basement floor.

I had an early appointment at the beauty salon, so I decided to have lunch at this place where pancakes used to be popular in the past. I remember the pancakes being fluffy but with a strong egg flavor. It had been years since I last visited, but I happened to pass by and decided to stop by again. This time, I shared salmon and avocado pancakes and classic pancakes. The classic pancakes, which I hadn't had in a long time, seemed a bit tastier than before. The egg flavor wasn't as strong as I remembered, and the maple syrup had a slightly bitter taste, which I found to be more adult-like and enjoyable. As for the meal options, they were just average. By the way, the aroma of the iced tea seemed a bit weak.

I visited a restaurant that I had made a reservation for many years ago. It had been about 4 years since my last visit. I went there on a weekday afternoon and there were only 2 other groups of customers inside. The atmosphere was quite calm. You have to serve yourself water. The pancakes were fluffy and bubbly! The round thing on top looked like ice cream but it was actually butter! The berries were rich and the cream was light, so surprisingly I could easily finish all 3 pancakes. The pancakes were delicious after such a long time!

Personally, I love fluffy pancakes the most, so the pancakes at "幸せのパンケーキ" are like a dream come true! I had them a few years ago in Nagoya, but this was my first time trying them in Tokyo. They were just as delicious as I remembered. The pancakes have a strong egg flavor and melt in your mouth as soon as you take a bite. This time, I ordered the chocolate flavor and it was hot and filled with plenty of chocolate on top of the fluffy pancakes, which left me completely satisfied. I have only tried sweet pancakes before, so next time I want to try the savory pancakes for lunch.

I was attracted by the name "Happy Pancake" and decided to stop by. I chose the strawberry pancake and passion fruit tapioca. The pancake was fluffy with a slightly chewy texture. It had a strong egg flavor. Eating it was pure bliss. The cream was delicious, but I think I would have liked to try it with maple syrup as well. I will definitely visit again. The passion fruit tapioca was really delicious! I might order it again next time (laughs).
