Been hearing a lot of buzz about the Japanese fluffy pancakes craze, currently not offered in my hometown in NorCal. Visited my buddies in SoCal recently, who raved about Fluffy Fluffy. Had to opportunity to check this place out prior to our trek back to NorCal, immediately following AYCE shabu, and I'm glad I didn't pass up on the opportunity, given that my stomach has seemingly reached full capacity. As we entered, we were gifted the pleasure of a warm greeting by a staff member who then sat us down and gave us first-timers a brief overview of the menu, his recommendations, and a brief history lesson about the origin of Fluffy Fluffy. After some waiting, we were presented with three aesthetically pleasing plates of these highly hyped fluffy pancakes. I then grabbed a knife and fork to cut into the stack of pancakes and was astonished by how... for a lack of better word, fluffy they were. Upon first bite, I expected a rush of sugar to register after a few seconds of chewing. However, that sensation never came. The pancakes were just the right level of sweet. A few minutes later, the plates were completely cleared and I was back to suffering from again reaching full capacity and thought to myself, "when will I ever learn?". All in all, great hospitality from staff, clean and upbeat ambiance, and most importantly excellent dessert items that were easy to consume without the feeling of developing instantaneous diabetes after finishing. Highly recommended. read more

Ehh-not sure how I feel about it. The soufflé was decent-got their matcha tiramisu and it wasn't too sweet or bland. I also ordered their waffle salmon sandwich-it came with fries and salad-large portion but wasn't impressive. The restaurant was empty and we had to wait awhile for the cashier to come out to help us-even though there's a little window that I can hear as well as see the chef and cashier talking. Lots of tables to sit and very bright kiddish environment. read more

Fluffy Fluffy - Desserts Near Me - Tustin, California

Fluffy Fluffy isn't just a name, it's a promise. These Japanese soufflé pancakes are ridiculously soft, light, and jiggly in all the right ways. They're almost too pretty to eat, but trust me, you'll get over that hesitation after the first bite. The salmon croffle was also a delight. I was hesitant at first but wanted to gamble my palate. Did not disappoint. The menu offers plenty of topping choices, from classic maple syrup to fruit-loaded options that make you feel slightly better about eating dessert for breakfast. The texture is unreal--like eating a cloud but somehow even more satisfying. It's a fun, casual spot, perfect for when you want something sweet and different. Service is quick, the space is clean, and the pancakes are worth every single calorie. If you haven't tried soufflé pancakes yet, this is the place to do it. read more

I came for the soufflé pancakes, and ended up staying for over an hour and working a bit. They don't lean into it but I could see this being a good place to bring a laptop and be productive with some great snacks and drinks along the way. There are outlets along one wall (the right wall as you enter) and there is WiFi but you need to ask about it. Service from Daniel Y was great, available when needed but stayed quiet and out of the way. I selected the Signature Soufflé Pancakes which comes with berries and cream. These were great to look at with a flavor to match. The cream and berries were enough sweetness with the pancakes themselves that I didn't even touch the syrup that came with it. Seeing the other topping options I don't think I would use syrup for those either. Dustings with tiramisu or matcha sound appealing, but I could see myself trying them all (other than the classic which has none at all). My pancakes were slightly undercooked, too moist on the inside, but I know how hard it is to prepare these and don't hold it too harshly against the cook. I can see myself returning if I am in the area, although there are lots of places in The Tustin District so completion is high. read more

A nice sweet treat! Came in around 8pm on a Friday night and it wasn't too busy. The interior is cute and picturesque. The soufflé pancakes themselves were nice and fluffy! We got the matcha tiramisu and I love matcha but the matcha they used was more on the rough and gritty side. Other than that, I really liked the cream on top! I also wish they didn't skimp on the strawberries. I feel like some more fruit would have brightened up the dessert overall. read more

The inside was very cute and clean. There were flowers on the table and soufflé plus decor. The lights were also very cute. The soufflé pancake takes about 15 minutes to make. There was one girl working and she was really nice. She was being very friendly with all the guests and was working hard making our drinks. We got the Matcha latte and that Yuzu refresher. The yuzu refresher was a sparkling lemon drink. We also got the cookie and cream soufflé. The drinks were delicious and the soufflé pancake was delicious. TLDR - cute and delicious pancake. 15 minutes to make the pancake. Drink was good. read more

Such a cute brunch and dessert spot! The interior is decorated in soothing pastels and warm lighting with hip music that keeps the environment lively. The Oreo soufflé pancake was the best one I've ever had, hands down. The best balance of sweet and salty, and your spoon slides right though the pancake so easily. It's just the right amount of soft! And there were enough toppings so you can get the oreo taste as well. This was also an incredible croffle. Soft and flaky and buttery. It doesn't get much better than that! The owner is also so friendly and sweet. We loved meeting her and trying Fluffy Fluffy! read more

If you're ever craving Japanese fluffy pancakes in the Tustin area, Fluffy Fluffy is a must-try spot. From the moment I walked in, the staff set a welcoming tone, with the cashier offering spot-on recommendations that made the experience even better. I opted for the Salmon Benedict, Raspberry Banana Fluffy Pancakes, Yuzu Cider, and Strawberry Matcha, and each dish was a delightful surprise. The pancakes were, as advertised, incredibly airy and light. The raspberry in the pancakes added a perfect touch of tartness, balancing the sweetness of the bananas. It was a refreshing take on a classic pancake stack. The Salmon Benedict was served on a pancake base, which initially threw me off, but it still worked. The real hidden gem here are the drinks. The Strawberry Matcha--wow. It easily rivals some of the strawberry matcha drinks I've had at local cafes. They need to just sell the strawberry milk on it's own, it's that good. read more

It's busy on weekends so go early to avoid too much wait! The food is delicious. We have the matcha tiramisu pancake, smoked salmon eggs benedict, matcha strawberry latte and caramel coffee. The concept is similar to brunch + desserts, it's a cute place to eat & hang out with friends/ family! After eating savory ( smoked salmon eggs benedict ) we craved something sweet ( matcha tiramisu pancake ) so it works perfect. For drinks I recommend the matcha strawberry. They also have outdoor seatings. Good location at the Tustin District. read more

Visited on a Saturday at noon and it wasn't super crowded for a party of two. Service was friendly and helpful, as we ordered the wrong item but they were willing to remake it for us and we paid the difference. For our first visit, we tried: Signature Souffle Pancakes: Got that lovely jiggle jiggle and fluffy texture that is so delightful. Not too sweet, and I like that you can customize sweetness with the syrup on the side. Would order again! Ham and Cheese Savory Croffle: Absolutely loved the texture of the croffle and savoriness thanks to the condiments, ham, and cheese. Comes with a small side salad and tasty waffle cut fries. A must for anyone who loves savory croffles! Chicken Karaage and Waffles: comes with perfectly seasoned eggs (possibly furikake seasoning?) and crispy and crunchy fried chicken with a nice spicy mayo dipping sauce. I was too full to attempt the waffle but really enjoyed everything else! A great first visit and I'm looking forward to returning to try more menu items! read more

Cute little shop located in the shopping center. I love fluffy Japanese pancake since the first time I had it a few years ago. Trying to find a good one was a challenge since the first time I had it was in Asia. Since looking in the California, I have yet to find an amazing one. This place was pretty good. Got the Oreo flavor fluffy pancake. There was a little bit of a wait (as expected). I had taken it to-go. When I got home, I did enjoy it. I do think that it may be better if i had it at the spot. So i would give it 7/10. I also got the Yuzu Sparkling drink which was great and refreshing. Would like to go back to try again and dine-in the next time. read more

We went on a weekend and they weren't too busy. The decor is super cute and great for pictures, but the music is a bit loud and we couldn't really hear each other when talking to one another. The food has great presentation and tasted pretty great. I had the tiramisu and they had ghe chocolate sauce off to the side which let me choose how sweet I wanted my food to be. There is a bit of a wait time but it ensures that the pancakes are fresh and extra fluffy/jiggly for you. We also wanted to try the smoked salmon croffle but they don't serve some dishes anymore after 2pm. The info wasn't listed online. I wish we knew this beforehand since we did travel a bit to try different dishes and were a little disappointed that we couldn't. read more

I was so disappointed with the "fluffy" pancake and eggs benedict. Would I come back? No. Here's What I Got: Eggs Benedict: ‣ 6/10 ‣ MY EGG WAS OVERCOOKED ‣ I enjoyed that instead of bread, they made a fluffy pancake Matcha Tiramisu Souffle: ‣ 6/10 ‣ Not fluffy, seemed more deflated :( ‣ Matcha flavor was okay Oreo Croffle: ‣ 8/10 ‣ Croffle is good ‣ LOADED with whipped cream & oreo pieces Mango Soda Yuzu Soda The staff was incredibly helpful and kind. I enjoy that they have indoor and outdoor seating (dog-friendly). read more

This was a very fun dining experience with a very bright atmosphere and fun food options. The man working at the register offered a lot of helpful recommendations and helped walk us through the different options on the menu. I had learned from previous experiences that these do take some time to make (approximately 10-20min) so plan for a little bit longer of a dessert/food experience. The inside of the restaurant was full of vibrant colors and decorations. We ordered the Nutella banana soufflé pancakes with vanilla ice cream on the side. The pancakes were light and fluffy. The ice cream was a great addition and went well with the other parts of the dish. The Nutella sauce was on the watery side and didn't have as strong of a flavor as I would have preferred, but it was overall a great dish. read more

Love me some soufflé pancakes so had to check this place out. At first glimpse, it's got a pretty good variety of pancakes to pick from and waffles. You order inside and can sit inside or out. After a 20-25 minute wait comes your pancakes. I won't lie, the pancakes were a bit deflated and not warm so the butter added didn't really melt. Flavors were there, however it was just not so fluffy. I'm glad I tried it, but I'd likely pass next time. read more

Fluffy Fluffy - Original soufflé pancakes - Desserts Near Me - Tustin, California

I was at the District and couldn't resist checking out a place with a name like Fluffy Fluffy. The interior is cute with plenty of tables plus there are a handful outside. They are primarily known for their soufflé pancakes but I decided to go a different direction and ordered an Oreo Cruffle. What's a cruffle you may ask? Thanks for the question. It looks like a small waffle and is crunchy-crispy on the outside but buttery & soft on the inside. It's a waffle and a croissant at the same time! This one had a thin layer of whipped cream and sprinkles of Oreo cookie on top as well as two halves of an Oreo. It wasn't overly sweet but deliciously wonderful as a small dessert treat. I liked that actual silverware (or in this case "goldware") was provided to eat this cruffle. I also ordered an iced salted caramel latte. The light sweetness of the caramel flavor was there as well as a hint of saltiness. This drink delivered what it promised; I appreciated that the taste was spot on. The smiling young woman who took my order and delivered it to my table was very friendly and provided textbook perfect customer service. I really enjoyed this place although upon leaving I wondered if employees here at Fluffy Fluffy are referred to as...Fluffers? read more

Fluffy Fluffy is a new soufflé pancake and croffle spot to come to Orange County, CA! It's located at The District at Tustin Legacy. Their dessert menu is filled with a variety of soufflé pancakes, croffles and drinks choices and many flavors we all love. What did I order? - Classic Croffle w/ Sweet Cream and Berries - Oreo Soufflé Pancakes - Tiramisu Matcha Soufflé Pancakes - Mango Refresher - Oreo Chocolate Shake Keep in mind, it does take a while for these yummy desserts because it's made fresh and making these soufflé pancakes is an art! This spot is cute and spacious. Knowing that it takes time for these yummy desserts, be patient because the staff is really trying to make your time at @fluffyfluffyusa as great as possible. read more

I haven't had soufflé pancakes and these hit the spot. For both pancakes, the batter was airy and fluffy but with a structure strong enough to hold the toppings. The signature premium pancakes were refreshing since they came topped with cream and an assortment of fruit. It also came with syrup but it's definitely not necessary. The tiramisu deluxe pancakes were also topped with cream and dusted with cocoa powder. The base was the same as the signature and it came with a chocolate sauce instead. There was no coffee flavor present so it seemed more like a chocolate pancake than tiramisu. Don't skip out on the croffles. I got the signature which only came with cream but that's all you need. The croffle itself is super buttery, flaky, and slightly crispy on the exterior. I didn't expect to take more than one bite because I thought it'd be rich but it was too good to resist. I'm also so glad I got the fuwa fuwa latte because it wasn't sweet at all. I think it would've been sugar overload if I had a sweet dessert with a sweet drink. It balanced out well with the pancakes and croffle. The yuzu refresher was calling my name so I also ordered that and it did not disappoint. I was so surprised to find that they included real yuzu. There's plenty of seating inside and even outside seating. I loved the inside more since the decorations are beautiful and they offer water. Just be prepared to wait about 25 minutes, according to the sign, if they're busy. I waited less than 20 minutes though but I went before the post-dinner rush so maybe I got lucky. read more

RSVP'd for their grand opening to get a free drink for first 200 customer but got there on Sunday instead of Saturday = no drink. It's not cafe motto but still hits the spot. Love the fresh basil and fruits on the tiramisu deluxe. It's two fluffy pancakes stacked with the tiramisu creme and powdered cocoa. It's jiggly and soft and airy. Service was quick and came out within 5 minutes of ordering regardless of the wait time notice of 25 mins per order. Note: no free drink with yelp check-in since my friend tried. read more

If you've been looking for a new soufflé pancake cafe, you definitely have to check out the grand opening (2/24-25) of the newest @fluffyfluffyusa location at @thedistricttustin ! Nothing STACKS up to their signature award-winning soufflé pancakes, which were so light and airy, and definitely worth the 30 minute wait! I also would recommend ordering any of their croffles, which were so flaky and paired perfectly with both savory and sweet toppings. Also on the menu- several different flavors of basque cheesecake, savory breakfast items, and an assortment of refreshers, lattes and other cafe drinks. If you're in the OC area and looking for a brunch/dessert spot with high quality desserts, I highly recommend checking them out!

I found this place alright. Matcha white chocolate souffle pancake: I found this delicious but I cannot find myself getting it again. I think the pancake could have been more souffle-ish.

The review is based on the matcha white chocolate. read more

We went during grand opening weekend to try the Japanese style soufflé pancake. There were some outdoor patio seating as well as indoor seating. There wasn't wait when we arrived, and there were signs posted by the register: 1. The only drinks available that day were the refreshers, no latte, frappe, and matcha drinks. 2. Soufflé pancakes take 20-25 minutes. At the time of order, the server commented it'll take 30 minutes or longer, but we got our order within 30. We tried the signature soufflé pancakes ($14.99) with whipped cream, slices of banana, strawberries, blueberries, and a side of syrup. Fluffy's version of soufflé pancakes was more like a thicker pancake, but it did not rise tall to a typical soufflé pancake height. Flavor wise, it was not sweet; texture wise, it tasted like a dense sponge cake, not light, fluffy, nor jiggly. Overall, I was not impressed with this dessert, nor did the pancake justify the high price tag. Definitely, there's room for improvement. Also, this location has a limited menu compared to the other location. read more

Fluffy Fluffy - Signature Soufflé Pancake $14.99 - Desserts Near Me - Tustin, California

I was surprisingly disappointed by my experience here! In the past, I've stopped by for an Iced Salted Caramel Iced Latte and found it to be pretty decent, which was why I wanted to grab the same order again and try some food items I assumed would be on par. We ordered the signature soufflé in addition to the oreo croffle. I've tried soufflés at a few different restaurants in Irvine and I have to admit that this soufflé was unfortunately the worst I've had so far due to its consistency and overpowering eggy taste. The oreo croffle was definitely better, but simply decent overall. It was surprisingly light. I also ordered the Iced Salted Caramel Latte extra sweet with creamy foam & it was unfortunately very underwhelming. As you may be able to tell, the cream was overflowing, so the drink was dripping which was inconvenient, but nothing major. What was unfortunate was that the foam was not sweet, nor was the drink itself despite me ordering it extra sweet. I do have to make mention that the service was great and the employees were very kind. We arrived at a quite busy hour and there seemed to be minimal employees working during this time, yet we received our food items at an appropriate time. Overall, however, my experience was unfortunately underwhelming and I will not be returning. read more

Another new spot in the Tustin/Irvine area! This dessert cafe is located at The District. I would recommend parking in the back area since it's a closer walk. I went a few days after the opening to try it out. Walking in, the place is so bright and a cute spot for a quick catch up with friends! It wasn't that busy, but we were told that the pancakes would take ~15-20 minutes to prepare. We ordered the signature soufflé pancake. They also sell burnt-top cheesecake and beverages! The pancakes were so fluffy and soft and I enjoyed the fruits. This was a good light dessert to share. For next time, I'm curious to try the crème brulee or matcha tiramisu pancakes. Would definitely come back again if I'm ever craving fluffy pancakes. read more

A new dessert spot to add to your list! Conveniently located in the District, there was ample parking (but you may have to walk a bit). We arrived around 7:30pm on a Friday night, and it was pretty busy. The cashier notified us that it would be around a 30 minute wait due to the number of orders ahead of us, but we weren't in a hurry, so we placed an order of the matcha tiramisu soufflé and checked in on Yelp for a free drink (chose iced matcha latte). It took awhile for our items to arrive, but the staff was friendly, thanking us for waiting. The matcha tiramisu soufflé was devoured in minutes. It was fluffy as the name of the store suggests, and warm, with not-too-sweet cream for the perfect bite. Overall, cute dessert spot good for casual hangouts! Hope to try their burnt top cheesecake next time. Pro tip: sign up for their rewards program by putting in a phone number after payment. read more

We came during their grand opening weekend. It wasnt too busy but there was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We placed an order for the signature fluffy souffle pancakes. It basically has blueberries, starwberries, bananas, and cream with a side of honey. The pancakes were fluffy by very flat. They didnt puff up and rise like they should have. They had a slight jiggle to them but nothing like the ones I had in Japan. The pancakes was very egg-y and the batter wasnt mixed all the way because there were some egg whites still visible in the middle. The fruits were really sour and wasnt sweet at all. We were not a big fan of the pancakes and they cost $14! The portions were also really small for how much theyre charging for them. Do not recommend at all. read more

Excited to try fluffy fluffy. Immediately upon entering they are transparent with the wait time for the famous soufflé pancakes. Knowing that they have long waits for pancakes there should something for guests (especially children) to do. Whether that be board games, a TV, just something. We ordered a cookies and creme croffle and Nutella banana soufflé. On this day the sign and cashier indicated a 25 min wait. We waited 45min for the croffle and almost 1 hour (2:15-3:12) for the soufflé. A group before us left before receiving their food because of the wait. When we got the croffle it was cold and not what I expected from other croissant waffles I've had before. I would not recommend them here. The soufflé seemed rushed and not very fluffy. A more eggy taste than I would expect. It may just have been under. Overall not my favorite dessert place in the area, I would recommend Utopia if you were looking for something sweet. read more

I went to Fluffy Fluffy grand opening on Sunday and it wasn't too crowded being the second day. This is a Japanese souffle pancake place. My first one in the US so I'm excited to try. Service was good even when they're so busy. Tiramisu Souffle 5/5 - The souffle was fluffy, jiggly, and melt in your mouth just the way I wanted it to be. The flavor was so yummy. Eating this filled me with happiness ^^ Cookies and Cream Souffle 4.5/5 - Surprisingly, this souffle was part of the same order and came out at the same time but it was flat. It still tasted good but not my jiggly pancake and a bit denser. Strawberry Refresher 5/5 - This drink was very refreshing and the sweetness level was just right. You can really taste the strawberry in the drink which I liked. Yuzu Refresher 4/5 - Yuzu is a Japanese fruit that's like a cross between a lemon and a grapefruit. The drink was good. There was yuzu rinds at the bottom of the drink which can taste sour and bitter like a lemon rind. I prefer the strawberry drink more. read more
