The internet sensation that is Fluffy Fluffy, renowned for its mouthwatering Japanese souffle pancakes, has landed in Wales! The grand opening of their inaugural Welsh outlet in Cardiff on Saturday, October 19th, drew massive crowds, with eager pancake enthusiasts forming long queues down Queen Street. This cafe, already a darling of the UK food scene, is known for its delectable, oversized pancakes, each one a fluffy masterpiece adorned with an array of enticing toppings.
The menu at Fluffy Fluffy Cardiff is a pancake lover’s dream, offering a tempting array of flavors and toppings to suit every palate. From classic combinations like Nutella and fresh fruit to more adventurous options such as matcha tiramisu and pistachio, there’s a pancake for everyone. Each pancake is meticulously crafted by hand using fresh ingredients, and the fluffy stacks can be further customized with a variety of fruits, creams, syrups, and house sauces.
Beyond the star attraction of souffle pancakes, Fluffy Fluffy also serves ‘croffles,’ a delightful fusion of waffle and croissant, offering a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. Each bite of a croffle delivers a satisfying blend of buttery, flaky layers and caramelized edges. For those who prefer savory over sweet, Fluffy Fluffy also offers a selection of savory croffles, including a creamy avocado variant.
The interior of Fluffy Fluffy’s first Welsh store is a vibrant space, awash in bright yellow hues and featuring a mix of booth and table seating. Neon signs showcasing the iconic pancakes adorn the walls, adding a touch of playful energy to the space. Trendy ball lighting hangs from the ceiling, creating a modern and inviting atmosphere. The overall vibe is relaxed and inviting, with ample space for guests to enjoy their pancake experience.
To celebrate their grand opening, Fluffy Fluffy offered a generous 50% discount on all their pancakes, giving eager customers a chance to sample the fluffy goodness. We were fortunate to be among the first to try these delectable treats, and the Nutella strawberry pancake lived up to all expectations. The pancake itself was as jiggly and fluffy as we had envisioned, while the Nutella was presented in a petite jug alongside fresh strawberries. The pancake was further adorned with a dollop of cream and a Ferrero Rocher, creating a visual and taste sensation.
The pancake truly embodied its ‘Fluffy Fluffy’ moniker. It was warm, light, and airy, with no hint of sogginess. We were also pleasantly surprised that the pancake wasn’t overly sweet, making it a perfect treat for those who prefer a less saccharine dessert experience. If you’re a pancake enthusiast in Cardiff, or simply looking for a unique and delicious dessert experience, Fluffy Fluffy should be at the top of your list. This viral sensation has finally landed in Wales, and it’s sure to become a Cardiff favorite.
