Flying Scotsman

The entrance is by elevator from the main street. The service was nice and the menu was also in English. It is a smaller cafe with a pleasant atmosphere and music. Pancake looks and tast amazing. They have coffee, tea, lemonade and offer free water. I personally missed lemonade, but otherwise it's perfect. when you order pancakes, you get a ¥150 discount on coffee. Also they make some food like curry rice, toast and spaghetti.

Good place for a date considering the atmosphere. The dessert specialty are fluffy pancakes. We got the tiramisu pancake which had the right amount of sweetness. You should always be wary about time when ordering this kind of pancake though. Due to the technique, it requires at least 15 minutes to make.

We were trying to find a cafe or somewhere with dessert whilst we were in Akihabara. Stumbled upon this cafe during the search. The shop itself is really small and can only cater to around 10-15 people at a time. We had to wait in front for around an hour before we managed to get a table. The chiffon cake was really fluffy and soft. The souffle was also really good (normally I’m not a fan, but I really loved theirs!).

This cafe has very accurate what you see is what you get menu pictures. I ordered the Rare Cheese Pancake and it looks exactly as advertised. It is also sweeter than most Japanese dessert places so be advised if you like the more traditional subtle sweets, you might not like this place. The pancake style here is less souffle' and more of an actual cake. Less eggy, more dense but still fluffy-ish. Very similar to cornbread in texture and bite. Delicious either way. I ordered a matcha latte as my drink and that thing was loaded with matcha. Almost coughed up a storm my first sip, great for those that really love matcha but I don't think I'd get that again.

Overall yes, I'd recommend this place. It feels like it's some hidden secret members only cafe' because of its location. Very cosy feeling inside too. Price is reasonable for the location and quality of food, my only gripe was that the lone server at the time of my visit was a bit...stoic? She wasn't mean or rude (nor friendly), she just seemed like she didn't want to be there (maybe just a bad day). Almost made me feel like I came at a bad time. But I'd come back again, many other things to try here.

Sweet Treat for Sweetest Month of the Year 💕
The regular menu is so cute already, but with limited edition for Valentine's day is even better!!

They are huge but taste so good that we ate it almost all!!
