I was strolling around the streets of Woodfield when I accidentally came across this place. I was so excited because it had been a while since I'd had Japanese soufflé pancakes. I ordered their signature soufflé pancakes, topped with homemade whipped cream and fresh fruit. I also paid a little extra for a scoop of ice cream, and I'm glad I did because it paired perfectly with the pancakes. The only downside is that the soufflé pancakes take a little while to prepare, but that's expected since they're made fresh. In my opinion, they're absolutely worth the wait. I'm also impressed by the variety on their menu. Besides their signature pancakes, they offer a great selection of breakfast dishes and sandwiches. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of what they have to offer. read more

Fluffy Fluffy - Signature soufflé pancakes with ice cream. - Cafes Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

This place is adorable, it has a Cafe vibe when it comes to size and how things function. You walk up to the screen or to the register and order and then they bring your food to the table. The pancakes lived up to their name, they were fluffy x2 and had that signature asian subtle sweetness. I got their ube pancakes and latte promo. Im not a true coffee lover im just a sweets girly so the ube latte was not sweet or unique enough for me, however people that like the taste of coffee may enjoy it as it was strong. The ube frosting on the pancake was also subtle and tasted like the ube condensed milk you can get at the asian market...and as a lactose intolerant person none of this hurt ny stomach(a blessing). My hubby got the All day breakfast I believe it was called and his tater tots were fresh and hot, had that crackle crunch on the outside and a very moist fluffiness inside. The rest of his breakfast must've been good because he cleaned his plate. read more

Nice atmosphere, brightly lit and cute decorations at a prime location in Schaumburg. I had such high hopes, but seriously everything was so quite disappointing. Out of all the things we ordered, the tater tots were the best lol. I was going to say the soufflé pancake did not jiggle at all, and just felt like a thicker version of regular pancake. The caramelization on the pancake was very lacking as well, but the banana was fine. The most disappointing is the sausages, the pictures in the kiosk showed two thick bratwursts, but what we actually got was three puny logs. The yuzu cream fried chicken was also very disappointing. No yuzu flavor. The chicken is fried like Americanized chicken, thick coat of bland wheat flour. When everything looked worse than the pictures, you know you have problems lol. The price is so expensive for such disappointing food. I guess the $3 salad was somewhat justified in terms of value, but rest of the stuff seriously shouldn't cost this much. Service was fine, the staff was nice enough to bring us extra plates to share with kids. Unfortunately it's so underwhelming and expensive that we won't be coming back! read more

Our visit to Fluffy Fluffy was spontaneous since we originally came in for Kurimu next door. The vibes are bright and aesthetically pleasing. There were a lot of customers when we came in to eat which was not a surprise considering we went in on a Sunday so no big deal, we just came back when seats were more available. We took our order and sat on the only available seat which didn't have tissue dispenser which sucked. It seemed like not all tables had napkins dispensers. After we ordered, we sat and waited about 45 mins for our food. My party was not happy with the long wait but we gave them the benefit of the doubt since we did order a lot of food and it was a busy day. We had two different pancakes and an eggs Benedict with tater tots and a salad. The pancakes were cold and not as jiggly as I'm used to when it comes to a standard Japanese soufflé pancake. It tasted good but I wish they were fluffier! The eggs Benedict were delicious but the eggs were overcooked and we didn't get a runny egg. Overall, for the price point of this restaurant I would like to see more improvement on the food quality. read more

I've been to quite a few Japanese soufflé pancake restaurants and have been a bit disappointed. My pancake arrived in less than 10 minutes, was cold, and not jiggly at all. It looked and tasted more like a regular pancake that was just thicker. Felt a bit misleading. read more

The fluffy pancakes were delicious! I agree with the other reviewers about the food taking a long time, but I will say it was worth it. There could be more seating as well, as it was packed when we came in and when we left. The restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. I think it would be good for them to expand a bit and hire more staff to help with the amount of orders. read more

Fluffy Fluffy - Fluffy pancakes with a side of avocado - Cafes Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Came on a whim for dessert after dinner. There's quite a bit of seating, and it's quite clean--noticed the staff wiping tables after patrons left. The music is really loud and a bit of sensory overload for us. It was hard to have conversation and our kids kept shouting over the noise. There were some customers already seated when we arrived, but it looked like most had been served and were just chatting. We were the first round of new orders but the pancakes took forever...probably 30-40 minutes. I was not prepared to wait for that long. Husband wishes they would tell us upfront what the estimated wait time would have been because we probably wouldn't have ordered it then. What we got: Basque cheesecake slice - Actually wasn't a slice, and was a single little rounded serving. It looked whatever, but it tasted better than it looked. It had an almost creme brûlée flavor from the burnt top. Not bad. And for the price I think it's worth a try. This actually came out nearly right away. Glad we got this because if we waited for the pancake without anything else in the meantime our kids would have been antsier than they already were. Signature pancake - This was what took forever. For the price and the wait time I don't think it's worth it. This comes with whipped cream and fresh strawberries and blueberries. The pancake was eggy and light. Less whipped cream would make it better in my opinion--slightly too sweet with the generous scoop on too. If you have the time and you're willing to wait, it's worth a try. But if you have somewhere to be, I would say plan accordingly. Hopefully this is just growing pains of a new establishment? It's a fun idea in theory! The brunch and lunch items seem interesting, but I'm scared of what the wait would be... read more

My hunt for finding the best ふわふわ Japanese style pancakes stateside (outside of Hawaii) might have found a winner at the Fluffy Fluffy Cake, recently opened in Schaumburg. My sister and I got the Nutella banana pancakes and they were delicious! The pancakes were very airy, and together with the chocolate, cream and banana made for a very satisfying bite every time. A single plate is a bit small for two people, but perhaps the perfect size if two people just wanted a little sweet treat. Otherwise, I would say a single plate is perfectly filling for one person. Looking forward to seeing this place develop! read more

Single employee working in the front. No acknowledgement of customers coming in. There's a kiosk to self order and pay. They have both savory and sweet fluffy pancakes along with a limited offering of croissant sandwiches and salads. Wait time for food is long and I can't tell if they've received my self kiosk order. The store is busy but surprised to see that they only have 2 star rating on Yelp. Small dining area with about 20 tables. The lighting is bright and the place is clean. It's weird that the pancakes didn't come with syrup and no salt and pepper for the eggs as well as needing to ask for ketchup. read more

Came here with my daughter at 4pm on a Wednesday for our weekly dinner date. We've been doing so since she was little so I always look forward to these. We both love Japanese fluffy pancakes so we were excited when we heard of this place opening. I ordered the Eggs Benedict fluffy pancakes and my daughter got the Nutella fluffy pancakes. Service was surprisingly slow, considering we were the only ones in the restaurant. Took about 35 min for the food to arrive. The food itself was great! The Eggs Benedict was delicious and the pancake was perfectly cooked. The bacon could be a bit more crispy, though, imo. The tater tots were awesome! Like seriously the best tater tots I've ever had. Nicely seasoned and crispy. My daughter also loved her Nutella pancake. However the service was a bit lacking. I also ordered a bottled water and a strawberry matcha latte, which never came until I asked the one person behind the counter for it (she didn't seem to be aware I even ordered it because she was about to charge me again for the matcha). When she finally brought it out, we were already done with our meal. No apology for not providing the matcha and water earlier. And while the food was great, the matcha was not. It was supposed to be a strawberry matcha but I barely tasted any strawberry in it. So it was very bitter. I'm willing to give it another shot and maybe the benefit of the doubt since it's newly opened. But I had to place this review here because when I tried to review them on Google Maps, it said I couldn't leave a review since there were several suspicious high-rated reviews. read more

I've only been to Fluffy Fluffy Cafe in person once, and it was just to pick up an online order to take to a party. Despite that, I have to give this cafe props for having a super clean restaurant, super friendly staff, and pretty great food too! When I arrived, I actually had to wait a good 10 minutes on my order since both of the employees on duty were in the back chatting and didn't realize I had come in. But once they realized I was there, they apologized and even offered me a free cheesecake *and* a free ice cream as a gift, which made up for the wait. I really appreciate this aspect of the cafe and its staff, it gives the place a more "human" touch. I ordered the soufflé pancakes, and they were delicious! Super light and fluffy and topped with fresh fruits and whipped cream. Overall, this is a very unique restaurant and I'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

I went here on 2 occasions. Before grand opening and first day of grand opening. The picture of the drink and pancakes (???) was during soft opening. As someone who loves to take photogenic food pics.. I was extremely disappointed. Where's the pancakes?! Then I went on grand opening day and was 8th in line. The opening was like a zoo but I guess that's to be expected but the pancakes once again, not great, just pointing out presentation wise. It was super hot that weekend but the ac was definitely not cranked up enough to accommodate the amount of people and the heat. Workers were great to start but as it got busier and more disorganized, you could tell they were also falling apart and the customer service started going downhill and this was only an hour in. I was waiting for my drink when people in line after me got their drink and food. Multiple people including myself had to go up to the hand out area to inquire about our drinks and/our food. I hope once the opening dies down things will be better. I will try again another time. I hope they can also make the pancakes fluffier too. They're a bit on the flatter side as someone who's had Japanese style souffle pancakes on different occasions. read more

After reading many of the reviews I was skeptical! It's a cute little place. Just know that the wait is significant because of the way the pancakes are prepared. We had the tiramisu pancakes and chicken & croffle....they were good! I had a matcha latte, no complaints. It is pricey, but so is everything else! I can see how people get frustrated with the wait, but you have to understand the process and be patient. Wait staff was pleasant and attentive. Should have 2 people working the front. There was one at first, and then the second person came up front. Again, not terrible. read more

My husband and I tried to come here the day of Fluffy Fluffy's soft opening, but it was hot and the line was already 30 people deep and we didn't have it in us to wait in 90+ temps and humidity. Seeing the photos from the early reviews, I had hoped they would have figured some things out in the two weeks since. Sadly, that is not the case. The short review is: don't waste your money. Background: my husband and I have made soufflé pancakes at home and respect the time and effort involved. I had the distinct pleasure of seeking out jiggly pancakes in Tokyo last year, and I'm also a fan of the Japanese pancake place in the city, which is nearly - but not quite - as good as the pancakes in Tokyo. First impressions - the team is very friendly and the space is efficient. The next thing we noticed was our table and at least the one next to it had not been well cleaned at close last night (we were the first customers, so there is no good excuse). The lattes we ordered were really tasty. But the pancakes... they just aren't good. They lack structure, height and have no eggy flavor (or any flavor at all) as one would expect from soufflé pancakes. They were thoroughly cooked, so the reason they are not as tall as expected is the recipe or the whipping of the eggs whites, which explains why most of the photos from here look the same. I also should have asked for the whipped cream on the side, but I feel like it's really there to hide the half-effort underneath them anyway. Our experience was an expensive disappointment. I'm including photos from my other pancake adventures for comparison - I hope that's allowed. read more

I don't know why they are 2 stars. First time today going and first time tasting Japanese pancake. I already knew theres a wait when you order. Exactly, takes half hour to get your order. We were there at 11 am today. The pancakes we ate were delicious! We had strawberry. And the other matcha Tiramisu. I don't know where the Tiramisu was in the mix but I'll attach the photo. Matcha flavor was very subtle. The pancake itself? I will go buy again and bring others with me. There were 4 of us. We split 2 plates orders because they are expensive with not much fruits to go with it. $16-$19 per order. They also have other menus that I saw people eating like croissan'wich. I asked for cup water and they actually give you a cup with bottled water in it. That's a plus. The photo looks big inside but photos can be deceiving. :) Sometimes you will have to wait for tables to be open. But they still deserve a 5 stars from me. It was yummy! Thank you for bringing it to the suburbs. read more

We got here at 10:55 Am and they open at 11am. We were the second customers in the door. Ordered one soufflé and one cruffle. We didn't get our order till 11:30am. By this time all the tables were full and us and the first customers were the only one with food. They brought out someone's order and had no clue who it belonged too. They gave it to the wrong customer and I thought they were going to fight! Our food was average. Not sure if these are supposed to be served warmed but they were ice cold. The cruffle was very well done and I don't recommend. The soufflé was decent but not worth a 30 minute wait. I would say fun dessert place but they need to get more employees and their stuff together. Oh and the strawberry refresher was so tart. I don't recommend. read more

Fluffy Fluffy - Avocado eggs benedict with pancake - Cafes Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

We spent a little over $100 for four people after seeing Fluffy Fluffy go viral on TikTok and deciding to give it a try. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which is the main reason I'm giving it an extra star. The pancakes were very good and were definitely the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was disappointing. The eggs didn't taste good at all. I ordered them scrambled, but they were very plain, unseasoned, and tasted more like premixed liquid eggs than fresh eggs. The bacon was also disappointing. It tasted stale and cardboard-like rather than fresh and flavorful. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype we saw online. The service was excellent, but the food quality didn't match the price. I'd come back for the pancakes, but I wasn't impressed with the rest of the menu. read more

Visited on a Friday morning for a brunch date, it wasn't overly crowded. You have the option of ordering via the kiosk and there was also a person manning the register. Tip: if you go to the website, you can get a deal for any fluffy pancake & drink (latte, refresher, etc.) for $21. I couldn't get the deal to work for me, but I showed it to her and she very kindly gave me the discount. They do have signs that you need to wait 15-20 minutes if ordering the fluffy pancakes, which is actually pretty quick for Japanese fluffy pancakes. They brought ours out very quickly. I had the matcha pancakes, there are two on there and there is a nice light topping along with fresh strawberries. We also ordered the egg benedict that was on top of the fluffy pancakes, that came with basic tater tots and a Japanese salad. This place is a bit pricey, but with the coupon deal they have online it's actually pretty reasonable deal if you want something different for your brunch. The place was pretty clean when I went there, and the music was pretty quiet. I think if you go at the right time, have your coupon deal ready, go in knowing that you will have to wait for the fluffy pancakes - it's all good! read more

Orders are entered into a kiosk & wait time for food was a'rd 20 minutes, delivered to table by a server. Asked for a cup of water & was told they have none, but I could see they have hot/cold cups...found it strange. Food was ok, different, but in a good way, would not go out of my way to come back. Soufflé not as "airy", not dense like a pancake but not as expected, toppings were flavorful. Restaurant it self was empty, clean but too warm inside... read more

Stopped in around 11 am on a Sunday morning. It was very busy and loud but cute inside. We were in line waiting to order on the 1 kiosk at the counter. That meant standing in the aisle right next to seated people trying to eat. The soufle pancake was not very good. The fruit on top was very cold and the small cup of chocolate sauce was very cold. We have had amazing soufle pancakes at Hanabusa in Chicago and these were pretty poor in comparison. The strawberry refresher was excellent! We will come again - maybe we went on an off day. read more

the food is amazing! everything is prepared fresh and with care. The staff is great and attentive.

Soufflé pancakes were good, fluffy, good flavor, what I expected. Ordered the Oreo "Croffle", flavors were good, but honestly, not sure if the croissant was stale, it was very difficult to eat. Very here, dry and they have only plastic forks and knives. I literally had to rip it apart with my fingers for my kids to eat. Decent place overall, a bit pricey for what we got. Oh, the Nutella..... not Nutella. read more

Waited an hour and a half for a side of pancake (which my son ended up not liking) every person at the table received their food at completely different times. I got my food first (after an hour) and my son got his food an hour and half later: Same thing with my sister and her son. And this wasn't just our table it was everyone else. My sister asked the girl up front about her son's food not coming out which she responded with "since he has a complicated order it would take longer" which makes no sense since he ordered a sandwich and my son ordered just a single side pancake. Once she complained other tables started complaining. So I guess if you order something complicated they will get to your food last. Ridiculous. Do not recommend since food is not even worth the wait. read more

Terrible service. They have one kiosk so it takes forever to order. Then the food comes one by one. I had my order an hour after ordering and then my son had his 30 minutes after. Other people were getting their food before him and I noticed everyone that had ordered after they brought their food. When I asked she said they had simple orders. But then I saw the same order as him and they all got their food before him. Once I complained they brought his food. Another person next to me also didn't get his food and only watched his family eat. And had to do it to go because of the long wait. read more
