I've been to Fuwa Fuwa in the deep south west of Edmonton, but this is the first time I have been at this location near Whyte Ave. . The food was delicious and completely unique. These fluffy pancakes will spoil you for pancakes anywhere else. One of our guests requires gluten free food. The fellow here seemed very knowledgeable about GF foods. We were here on Wednesday at around noon but, strangely we were the only customers in the cafe the whole time. Perhaps this location is new. I recommend Fuwa Fuwa for a unique meal. read more

We stopped by on a Friday night around 7PM and the establishment had enough seating for 3-4 tables that could seat 4. There were two other parties there. It was our first time trying Japanese soufflé pancakes and I was expecting a super light and airy pancake. Unfortunately, while these pancakes had the height and certainly looked fluffy, they were a bit on the dense side :( read more

Delicious and fluffy pancakes. I also tasted the mango one, not pictured here and it was good but the mango was bitter. Price is a bit high but worth a try! read more

This is the best place to get Japanese Soufflé pancakes in Edmonton! The owner is so nice and knowledgeable. It's a 2-story cafe and the upstairs lounge has multiple shelves filled with board games to keep you entertained. Perfect date spot if you like fluffy pancakes, a view, cozy atmosphere, and one of the best lattes I've had in a while. There's also staff is very friendly and will give you local advice. Thank you Fuwa Fuwa for being so amazing and accommodating! read more

Easy to find via Google Maps. Lots of street parking if you tour the block. Lots of seating. Place was 40% full Friday at 6PM. Lots of staff behind the counter but one can out during the meal and asked how the meal was which was really kind. Self-serve water and utensils made it easy and less fuss. Lots of cool lattes as well. We tried the Raspberry Caramelized Banana for $16. Presentation is very nice. Could be enough for 1 person but no protein so better to share. Caramelized banana was 12/10 delicious. Pancake was a little uncooked for my liking. Which I understand as they are sooo fluffy. Toppings were fine. read more

My husband and I finally tried these pancakes. I've been seeing these mouth watering pictures of their fluffy pancakes all over social media. I'm happy we found an opportunity to drop by and give this place a try. There are many sweet and fruity pancake options here. The eye catching menu photos are very well done and definitely contributed to my analysis paralysis in deciding what to eat. Everything looks so good. We decided to one savoury and one sweet pancake. First we tasted the savoury Sunrise Salmon Soufflé with two soufflé pancakes, smoked salmon, poached egg, hollandaise sauce and a side salad. The presentation was well done. We took a bite of the pancake and immediately loved the fluffy, airy, melt in your mouth sweetness of the pancake. Paired with the smoked salmon this combo was refreshingly different. A match made in pancake heaven. We inhaled the dish in minutes. I actually contemplated ordering a second plate of it because I enjoyed it so much. Next we tried the Fuwa Fuwa Signature pancake. This was a sweet option with whipped cream, strawberry, blueberries and banana. The usual toppings you would put on a pancake. To my surprise, I enjoyed the savoury dish more. I appreciated the contrast between the sweet pancake and the smoky flavour of the salmon. In comparison the signature pancakes seemed too sweet and sadly anticlimactic after the first dish. For a beverages the Nutella Hazelnut Latte tasted literally like plain chocolate milk. Nothing special or exciting. Kinda disappointing. There were so many other adventurous options that I'm surprised I chose such a plain and boring drink. Next time I will try a fancy lemonade or special fruity drink. Overall, I had a pretty good first experience here. I would love to see more savoury options on the menu. The service was super friendly and attentive. The restaurant was clean, bright and trendy looking. They had plenty of seating. We came at a quiet time during the day so we had the place to ourselves. They also have board games available for people to play. There is also an upstairs seating area. This would be a fun place to hang out and spend time with others. I would love to come back and try other menu items. read more

I love pancakes and when I heard about this place I have been so eager to go and check it out. The flavors all sound incredible, it's difficult to choose one! But when we went we settled on the feature which was a raspberry and caramelized banana one: presentation was spectacular! And it did taste sensational, very fluffy cakes and the banana was caramelized perfect and had a crunchy toasted side. But ... the portions are small! Much smaller than I expected. For $17 this wasn't enough to satisfy one person, definitely feels a little over priced in my opinion. I can speculate and say that it's perhaps because of location being near Whyte Ave and cost of everything these days but still slightly disappointing. Service was alright, they had a lot of staff working behind the counter but they didn't really engage with us and the food still took a fair amount of time to come out with one order. I did like seeing board games available to play. Plenty of seating but we were encouraged to stay on the main floor. read more

I was recommended this place by someone on Mastodon. After a failed first attempt to order via Skip the Dishes which ended up in the Skip driver apparently going AWOL with my dinner, which never arrived... I eventually tried again and picked it up myself in person. Unique pancakes, I've never had any like this before. They're sort of a cross between a pancake and a souffle; super thick but very light like a souffle. I tried the matcha and red bean and it came nicely packed in a biodegradable box with match whipped cream and red bean paste in separate containers. I don't know if I particularly prefer this style of pancakes to a more traditional North American style, but it was certainly worth trying and the selection or toppings was fun. Would recommend giving them a try! read more

Free parking in back for 2hrs but the stalls aren't always available. Also you should remember your plate number and register it with the restaurant. Savoury pancake options are available and I liked those better because I usually can't finish a full sweet breakfast. They have an upstairs dining area but I didn't go up to check it out. Order/pay at counter. Entrance is on 104 st. Happy hour 2-5pm. Wifi access available. Only one high chair available for the whole restaurant so be aware when you bring your toddlers here. read more

I've been to Fuwa Fuwa twice thus far. I'm impressed by the large, bright space and friendly service. The first time was earlier in the summer when I decided to try an iced coffee drink from here instead of one of my usual haunts. It was a salted caramel iced latte and I found it somewhat lacking in the salted caramel department (though otherwise delicious) which was disappointing given the drink's price tag of over $7 with the tip. This past weekend I finally had the chance to try the fluffy pancakes for which Fuwa Fuwa is known. I tried the basic pancakes which came with a mountain of whipped cream, a ball of butter, and small container of syrup. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and tasted great, with the whipped cream and syrup complementing the flavours. My only criticism is the portion size - this struck me as being more a dessert than a light lunch or brunch. With my Americano (which hit the spot) and the tip, this came to over $20. read more

Fuwa Fuwa - Strawberry and.. - Pancakes Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

I've gone here twice since they opened in Edmonton. Once during their soft opening and then a second time after they had their grand opening. The location is quite large with two floors of seating available. To start these pancakes are made to order, from scratch and typically take 20 minutes to make per order. However, if there are others waiting for their order before you be prepared to wait much longer. If there's absolutely no one else there then you can expect your pancakes to be ready in 20 minutes. The first time we went during soft opening it took us 50 minutes from waiting in line to getting our pancakes at our table ready to eat. Unfortunately, the second time we went we waited closer to an hour and a half. This is definitely not the place to go if you're starving or really hungry and especially not if you're in a rush or have appointments to make!! The pancakes are super fluffy and moist, and they definitely do jiggle! If you've never tried a souffle pancake before, I highly recommend giving Fuwa Fuwa a try as they're quite different from your typical pancakes. The pancakes typically range from $12-$16 for two pancakes and some toppings, while drinks are around the $5-$7 range. The drinks only have one size. Service wise we've always had great service from the staff, the managers are always around and are constantly communicating how long the wait for pancakes could be. In terms of the pancakes themselves, we noticed that the second time we came around the Crème Brûlée pancake we ordered had very little custard topping and just a small amount of burnt sugar compared to other people, despite the hour and a half wait. This was a bit disappointing as crème brûlée is actually my favourite flavour from Fuwa Fuwa, and we've tried it from the location in Calgary before. I really want this business to succeed as I've missed having soufflé pancakes from Japan, and I hope they can get their groove when it comes to making the pancakes consistently! In the mean time if you find the wait is a bit too long maybe give them a try after the hype dies down a bit! read more

We came here as a large family group for my niece's birthday. It was great that they had an upstairs area for a larger group that we had to ourselves. All of our pancake creations were incredibly delicious. All lattes and coffee drinks too. These do take a long time to make so ensure you have a lot of time when visiting. Would be nice for breakfast, brunch or a treat. read more

I wanna start by saying the pancakes are good and delicious. I have wanted to try these pancakes since I heard Fuwa Fuwa was coming to Edmonton and they really were as delicious as they looked. With that said, our experience was rather disappointing. We went to check it out on a holiday at 8pm. We thought it might be a little less busy. Negative. There was a steady flow of people for the next 2 hours, many of which chose not to stay and wait. Those who ordered their pancakes to go, seemed to have better luck and got their food quicker. The establishment isn't very big, with a couple of tables on the main floor and a couple upstairs. The kitchen, bar and cashier/order counter are all one large area off to the right when you walk in. In my opinion, this area seemed cramped and was inefficient as a work space. They had about 6-7 people back there and it looked like there wasn't quite enough counter space. The pricing of the pancakes was about what I would have expected, especially for souffle pancakes with various toppings (ranging from about $12 to $17). It's suggested that you order at the counter before finding a table. They give you a pager/buzzer so you know when to come get your food. Fuwa Fuwa also has some beverages, which I thought were not as decently priced (ex/$6 for a flavored tea that comes in a paper cup). In the end, I ordered the Creme Brulee Pancake and a flavored tea. The 3 of us found tables and proceeded to wait... and wait... and wait. There are signs by the cash and ordering station that tell you to be patient because the pancakes take about 20 minutes to make, which is fine, but there is also a sign stating wait time for food can be 1-2 HOURS! This sign is for real. I should have took it more seriously. So we got there at 8, ordered by 8:10pm (there was a line and we needed to wait for a table), got our drinks at 8:45ish and the last plate of pancakes came out at 9:15pm. Should also mention that if you order more than one dish, your food will not come out altogether. I think there was about a 20 minute gap between the first pancakes and the last. It was hard to really savour and enjoy the pancakes after waiting so long BUT like I started with, they are good. Also kind of annoying, since the drinks come in a paper cup, my cup felt so flimsy and soggy by the time the food came. So the short of it is, the pancakes are good but the wait is brutal and some of the drinks are expensive. read more

I was so excited for this. And I was let down horribly! They ran out of the ingredients for a drink, and then the 3 orders of pancakes I ordered for takeout I never got because they "ran out of takeout containers" I waited for 20 minutes to be told we cant give them to you unless you eat them here. I was told to eat 3 orders of pancakes. Then the refund was processed, I paid $7 for a tip for food I never got read more

We came in with a group of six and they required us paying a mandatory 15% tip even when there was no extra effort on their part, and it was not even busy that night as we were the only ones there. The lady was also rude to us and did not even serve us water, she just told to help ourselves to it when we had asked for it. What is the tip even for if we aren't even getting any service? read more

Amazing pancakes, and incredibly friendly staff. Anyone who complains about the wait-time is culturally insensitive, because these pancakes just take more time to make than others. Fuwa Fuwa did a great job to mitigate this wait time by having lots of fun games to play while you wait. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Brutally disorganized. I read it over an hour, I inquired about my meal, and they had forgotten to print off my order. They said it would be another 10 minutes and I watched everyone else continue to be served. It happened to others as well. I Won't go back. read more
