You've probably seen them on Instagram if you're a food fan: Impossibly thick, jiggly, pale yellow, and super fluffy Japanese souffl茅 pancakes. This seductive blend of egg, butter, and air make these next-level pancakes bait for both food photogs and hungry bellies, and now 麻豆传媒映画is about to have its very own restaurant that is solely focused on Japanese souffl茅 pancakes.
Fuf煤 Caf茅 is prepping to open soon at 1266 West Broadway. The project of locals and longtime friends Vicki Chen and Sienna Gan, Fuf煤 is all about those souffl茅 pancakes, in both savoury and sweet versions.
Clocking in at just over 1,000 square feet, this new cafe will have seating for 20, and will boast a "whimsical" design by co-owner Chen, who is an interior designer.
Chen says she and Gan "fell in love with the souffl茅 pancake on a visit to Japan and couldn鈥檛 find anything like it in Vancouver," so the idea for Fuf煤 Caf茅 was born.
Their souffl茅 pancakes will be made-to-order, ensuring each pancake is cooked properly and enjoyed immediately (well, after a few moments of vital Instagramming).

On the sweet side, Fuf煤 Caf茅 will have options like their Classic (butter, maple syrup, 鈥淔uf煤鈥� icing sugar or sea salt mascarpone cheese whipped cream); Matcha Mochi (shiratamako balls, housemade matcha sauce, matcha whipping cream, double chocolate raspberry ice cream, white chocolate flakes, matcha flakes); Mixed Fresh Fruit; and Earl Grey with Tapioca Pearls.
The caf茅 will have savoury options for the weekends only to start, and they will include combos like smoked salmon and avocado and an Eggs Benedict version. Additionally, Fuf煤 will have seasonal and special flavours available.
To go with your souffl茅 pancakes, Fuf煤 will have coffee and tea service, fresh fruit sodas, cheese foam fruit tea, and milk teas.
Fuf煤 Caf茅 is aiming to have their grand opening in early September, and they will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. They are located at 1266 West Broadway in Vancouver.
