It’s a small but cute shop. There are a few spots to sit and eat in, but I took my order to go. Pancakes were packaged separately from the toppings so they didn’t get soggy or anything. I put everything together when I got home and they were great! Good coffee too. ありがとうございます！

Cosy quite little space

Very peaceful and homely

It's on the Akatsuka Ichiban-dori shopping street. The shop is run by the owner alone, and inside there are about 3 eat-in tables for 1–2 people. The pancakes are baked after you order, taking about 15 minutes to be ready. You get them fresh off the griddle! The batter is fluffy but also a bit chewy, with restrained sweetness, so it's easy to eat. Butter comes with it from the start, and you can also enjoy extra toppings. The banana juice was refreshing too, with no excess sweetness, a taste where you can really feel the ingredients! I also got a chocolate scone to take home. It had big chunks of chocolate in it! It was delicious warmed up a little.

💡Freshly baked fluffy, airy pancakes are the star⁉️ Heart-melting star-shaped butter… a treat-yourself sweet in Shimo-Akatsuka🥞🌟💕 ◆Shop features✅ ◎Freshly baked soufflé pancakes × star-shaped butter are iconic🌟 Super fluffy & lightly melt-in-your-mouth soufflé style, and the star-shaped salted butter on the side is way too cute!🥞 ◎Customize to your liking with toppings🫶 You can arrange them with extra toppings like whipped cream, and the strength is that you can make it “light today / on the sweeter side today” depending on your mood‼️ ◎Scones are also a staple favorite🧁 Not just pancakes, scones are a mainstay too!

Drizzle maple syrup all over and the aroma rises, instant happiness🥹✨ With 2 pieces, both the look and how full you get are just right, I recommend it♬ ②The cat & ribbon-heart shapes are way too cute… you'll want to gaze at them before eating🐈🎀 Having simple baked goods like this feels like a little gift, and makes you want to take them home🍪 Overall, with the freshly baked fluffiness and the heart-flutter of the star butter, these were pancakes truly worth making the trip for🥞
