    I don't have a picture, but this place is great... That is if you have time to sit and wait for your drinks and food. So if you're in a rush, I would avoid at all costs. My sister in law took me here and we ordered the creme brulee pancakes. It was very yummy! Surprisingly not very sweet, that helped because I ordered a fruit tea (Fruit Medley) at full sweetness. It was packed, all tables were taken, so basically you post up and snatch the first table available. You have to watch who's almost ready to leave and be ready to sit! The way the drink are organized and distributed is a bit hectic. The fruit Medley is popular so the other patreons try to snatch up whatever they can get that they think is there's. So be mindful of the number/name calling (I don't remember but I'm sure they call by number). It's Loud and packed so if you don't like loud stuffy spaces I would take it Togo. On a later visit I found my forever drink. Cheesy Strawberry. It's a drink I would buy 2 of because 1 is not enough lol! I had a hard time thinking these two would taste good together but I was DEAD wrong! I might get one today!

    I'm obsessed with their Japanese pancake! Every time I'm in San Gabriel Valley, I make sure to grab one. My favorite flavor is meat floss and egg yolk--it's not too sweet, which I love. The only downside is the long wait time, but otherwise, I'd go more often.

    The pancakes are delicious here. The vanilla to egg ratio is perfect and the flavor is well balanced. It doesnt take overly eggy. It is light and airy and not heavy on the stomach. I feel like I could eat 3 orders of the souffle pancakes. This time we tried the creme brulee flavor and it did not disappoint. It was a nice generous later of brulee custard sauce on top with small pieces of fruit on the side. I cant wait for peach season I hope they bring back that flavor this year. 5 out of 5 for the pancakes. We tried their new mochi milk tea drinks but I cant say I like it. It was definitely interesting. But it didnt taste like their "mochi layers" mixed well with milk tea. It didnt have the texture of mochi. It just tasted like disintegrated flour floating around in the milk tea with the reminiscent flavor of mochi to it. I wouldve even preferred the usual mochi balls you might find at other places. I think for the drinks it would be 2 out of 5 for me. It just didnt seem to fit the milk tea drink. I think from now on I will just stick to the regular drinks of fruit tea or milk tea here.

    Love coming here! They have some classic drinks and unique drinks like King Grape and Mango Yuki. They also have yummy cakes and fluffy pancakes. I haven't tried anything I don't like yet! The plaza gets pretty busy but there's a basement parking. The cafe is pretty cute but it does get busy. Hard to get a seat sometimes. You order from the kiosk machines and wait for either the number or your name to get called. If you're ordering the pancakes, it'll take a little longer.
