Uhhhh... Waiting in line for an hour and a half for pancakes? Certain not the worst I've experienced. The line takes you across from the three mini dining establishments to around the corner behind the public restroom. Flipper's has two giant wooden tables in the center and a row of additional side seatings. They'll always find a way to cram you into an open "space". The pancakes were FLUFFY, maybe a bit too fluffed up to the point that the only pleasing aspect was purely visual. It felt like I was biting into this foamy hollow thing that resembled none of that pancake goodness. Berries were nice and fresh but certainly not what I came for. Whip cream was nicely seasoned and had this caramel-like taste to it (would love to eat it with some good ol' regular pancakes). Overall, not worth the wait personally but something to try out if you have the patience and time. read more

I heard that the line can be really long on the weekends (1-2 hour wait) so I came early on a weekday - 5 min before they opened. There were already a couple people in line and the place was a little more than half filled after all of us sat down. We ordered the pancake with hazelnut, chocolate and caramel banana and their limited edition green tea pancake with mochi, icecream and chocolate. The pancake itself is very fluffy and not too sweet - you really feel like you are eating cloud. The pancake goes really well with the spread. I enjoyed both desserts and the price is reasonable but it does not worth any 2 hours wait! I would definitely come again on a weekday. read more

I was luckily able to come here on my last official day in HK and there was a "short" wait. I would say about 15 mins or so which is quite good. To be fair, the longest wait I'll wait is probably 1 hour no matter how good it is. I had 3 souffle pancakes within my month in HK/Japan and Flipper's would be my 2nd favorite after Bill's. It goes from Bill's, Flipper's, and then Gram(in japan, not the HK one cause I heard that one sucks lol). Anyway, we just got the original one and it was very good. It was really milky and the inside was very moist. For some reason, even the cream that they provide is super good. I tried not to finish it... lol and I really didnt. I think it's just the fluffiness to the souffle pancake that made it stand out. I'm really gonna miss the Flipper's souffle pancake. It stands out on its own and if you only have to wait 15-20 mins(to get it) + 15-20 mins for the order to come, I think it's DEFINITELY worth it. read more

So delicious! We found Flipper's Kiseki Soufflé Pancakes by accident while eating nearby. Saw the ridiculous line and decided on a game plan to come back the next morning 30 minutes before they open. There were already another couple in line ahead of us! Everything looks good on the menu, was a bit disappointed savory option is not available til lunch time even though we were at the opening time of 11am. You order at the counter and they will give you a # for your table. It will take approx. 20 minutes for you to get your pancakes since it is made to order. But it will be so worth it! The smell buttery batter and maple syrup while waiting! Between the 3 of us I got to taste the strawberry/ banana, matcha with red beans and the Hazelnut chocolate with banana. It was like eating delicious fluffy clouds! Average price $119 HKD so it's definitely a vacation splurge! I will come back on my next HK trip! read more

Waited for almost an hr. Very pricey - approx 20 dollars for pancakes. Yes its fluffy airy and light. After eating it i didnt even feel full. Crazy over hype. Its good but not worth the price. Not to die for. read more

All in all this place is a pretty pricey option if you're just tryna cop some pancakes! The wait, especially in the morning, lasts an absurdly long time and the pancakes are insanely sweet. I wasn't the one eating, but Id bet that long enough exposure to the smell would be enough to induce diabetes. Chairs are pretty uncomfortable, seating is crowded, and now that I'm remembering all this I'm going to ding it one more star. read more

Flipper's - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hong Kong, HK

I've been DYING to try fluffy pancakes for the longest time so I'm really glad to have been able to eat here in the very short time I was in HK. Flipper's had a line out the door the first day I came on a Sunday, at around 2-3pm, I was told the wait was about 50 minutes.. so I decided to come back another day right before it opened to skip the wait. Flipper's is in Hysan and not in the food court! I was mistaken and took SO many flights of escalator before I realized it wasn't there. I came at around 10:50am thinking that there wouldn't be a wait, but there was already a very long wait. Luckily I was able to be a part of the first group.. pancakes take around 35 - 45 minutes to cook. Be prepared for lots of waiting if you want to come.. Overall, I thought the pancakes were yummy. I had the chance to try their hazelnut and I think regular one with fruits? Both were good and fluffy, but not mind blowing and not sure how many times I'd wait in the same queue for them. They're definitely a bit pricey.. two pancakes and two drinks came out at around 35 - 40 USD which is NOT cheap for pancakes and coffee. I'd recommend it for anyone that wants to try it out! read more

TBH, I don't get what the hype is about. Fluffy pancakes. And that queue!? You either queue for roughly an hour to get a seat, or you go to the shop at 9 or 10 am to pick up a voucher for a particular time of day to eat meringue immersed pancakes. Excitement. But I suppose this is a place where new romantic dates can go to keep things interesting before getting to first or second base. Or... you're just caught up in all the queue and hype. The plain one with cream is nice. There's no table service - which probably explains why the queue is so long. You go to the till to order you cakes. So looking forward to savoury pancakes? read more

I was so intrigued by this cafe for the longest time. There is constantly a long line no matter what the hour is. Finally, my friend and I decided to wait in line and give it a try, and we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY! We arrived on a whim at around 2 pm, and the line took about 15 minutes, which wasn't so bad at all. My friend and I shared a pancake because it comes with a size of 3 and it's quite enormous. We do have to order another drink because the cafe limits one order per customer which is reasonable. The pancake changed my world. I have never imagined pancakes like this before. They were soooo fluffy and thick. You can literally shake the plate and watch the pancake wobble in its delicious goodness. The hype is real!!! That was probably one of the best pancakes I had EVER! Almost cried eating it. And it's so beautifully plated with strawberries and whipped cream, it's definitely Instagram worthy. I also love these adorable candies that come with every seat, so you get something to munch on while the cafe prepares your pancake. Best experience ever!!!! LOOOOOOVE it!!! read more

The pancakes are so fluffy and delicious. One portion is pretty big, there's 3 pancakes. Great for sharing but there's a minimum order per person. Each person much order one item. There's usually a small wait but people come and go pretty quick. read more

Japanese souffle pancakes aren't quite what I expected. A bit softer and more liquidity-hinting inside than fluffy, yet still VERY fluffy and delicious. If you're expecting a crazy fluffy traditional pancake, well, this is something else! Caramelized banana doesn't quite work, I would stick with the fruit or plain options... but at least the lines move at a surprisingly decent clip, even on a weekend. Just wish they had plain hot tea on the menu to help cleanse your palate from the sweetness, sadly they do not. read more

Ok, I gotta say, the biggest turn off here is the wait time. Not sure if it is the time that I go there or if it is always that busy. First we waited for more than 1 hour before we can get a table for 3. After that, when we order the pancakes, we were told the wait will be 30 min and at the end, we waited for like 35 min before the pan cakes arrived. So in total,from the time we arrive to the moment we have the pancake on the table, about 1 hour and 45 minutes has gone by... It really feels like I am waiting for some famous rides in Disneyworld or Universal Studio ... Insane wait time.. X_X Back to the food .. by the time we sat down, we don't have the mood to eat any more so we just ordered one pancake dish.... Well, the pan cakes is thick and fluffy and pretty to look at. The pancake itself is rich with egg taste. We picked the special version that has tapioca as toppings. It tasted ok but not exceptionally enough that can give me a wow! Probably because of the previous wait time, I don't know. At the end, this experience alone is less than 3 stars for sure in my view. I probably would not come again because the wait time. Maybe it was a Sat afternoon and it is crowded? doesn't matter ... not coming again...yikes. read more

If you want fluffy soufflé pancakes as an added dessert or full meal, this should be at the top of your list. While the airiness undermines the compact flavors, it does feel light and delightful. The frappes are worth trying as well. Everything seems to meet the standard but has yet to reach their full potential. read more

This place was recommended to us by friends in HK to try. So when we came to HK. We had to try! One negative right off the bat. They don't have a lot of space and because of that. The line up is very long. Our family waited about an hour before we were sat down. And so we had to be here about an hour seated to make the wait worthwhile!! We ordered two pancakes. The first pancake was fluffy but really soft. Did not like. It was mushy and it just didn't taste good. The second pancake was better. A little bit more solid, but still fluffy. Service is a little slow. And the food was okay. I think most of it is hype. The pancakes themselves was just "ok" if you don't mind the long wait. Then definitely worth a try. But I personally wouldn't recommend coming back because the food is ok and on top of that the wait times are really long. Not worth it in my opinion. read more

So disappointing. I love soufflés so I was beyond excited to try their soufflé pancakes. The line was insane. Logistics are terrible. Once you get to the front and are seated, then you wait for 30+ mins for your order to come out. I finished my pancakes in 5 mins and left. Even without the wait, I wouldn't return. read more

Very good pancakes for around $120 per plate. Each person needs to order one item even though these are definitely enough to share. Pay beforehand here and sit at a common table. They also have pizza around the corner. read more

I honestly had no clue what I was expecting from "soufflé pancakes" but I did not like it at all. The flavor was quite light and nice but other than that, this is just a pass for me. Definitely was not worth the hour long wait for brunch. read more

Souffle pancakes have been super popular lately, with a few of them popping up in Vancouver. My first souffle pancake experience was at Flipper's. The little cafe is situated in Hysan (what a perfect location, you can shop and wait for a table at the same time!) There was a long wait, but it was expected. My souffle pancake was topped with strawberries and fresh cream, it was the fluffiest pancake I've had in a long time - light and airy - the whole dessert tasted very fresh. I loved it, overall a very good dessert to have after a very heavy pasta dinner. read more

Really nice fluffy (wobbly) pancakes, and good drinks. Insanely long wait for a table, and not a super relaxed atmosphere. But the pancakes are hilarious (especially when you see them wobble) and are quite nice. read more
