About Fluffy Fluffy Leicester

Fluffy Fluffy Leicester is a cafe at 90 Granby St in Leicester, open daily and devoted to handcrafted Japanese soufflé pancakes, a dish traditionally served at weddings and celebrations. The pancakes have a soft, jiggly, jelly-like texture, and each order is made fresh, so a wait is part of the visit. Flavours include pistachio, and the menu also runs to savoury and sweet griddles, among them a Nordic Griddle. A tiramisu croffle covers the dessert side, and the drinks list pairs flat whites and smoothies with the pancakes. Seating is mostly two-seater tables, with a couple of tables for four.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return for the soufflé pancakes, describing them as light, fluffy and jiggly, with pistachio, biscoff, crème brûlée and strawberry Nutella named most often. Close behind are the savoury griddles, including the bacon and Nordic versions with fillings of cheese and salmon, which one reviewer praises for balancing sweet and savoury. Drinks such as the pistachio latte, tiramisu latte and smoothies earn mentions, along with a tiramisu croffle that one diner found not too sweet. Service is described as friendly, including one server handling the till, kitchen and tables alone. The complaints are specific. One reviewer found the pancake bland and received only a fork with no knife, another wanted the sauces already on the pancake, and a sandwich arrived less warm than hoped. One felt the torch was heavy on the crème brûlée pancake, and another notes the pancakes are freshly made so there is some waiting. A reviewer who loved the food docked a star because there are no customer toilets. One order was mixed up and a table received crème brûlée pancakes instead of berry ones, which the diner didn't mind.

    “After several days visiting the area and hearing friends and family talking about "fluffy", i finally got to try the infamous fluffy pancakes. I was pleasantly surprised! Amazing bunch of tasty calories, in a plate :) It was totally worth it!”

    “I had an absolutely wonderful experience here. The Japanese soufflé pancakes were nothing short of exceptional—light, airy, and incredibly fluffy, with a delicate texture that practically melts in your mouth. Every bite was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, and beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the attention to detail really set this place apart. The drinks complemented the pancakes perfectly, making the whole experience feel like a special treat rather than just a meal. What made the visit even more memorable was the warm and welcoming service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere from the moment we arrived. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese soufflé pancakes made with care and served with outstanding hospitality, this place is an absolute must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dessert or brunch experience. Five stars!”

    “Been here with my partner and we both shared a Sandwich which was amazing! It could have been a little warmer though, but it was still good and tasty! The pancakes are definitely the highlight we got the creme brulee and the biscoff one. Both were definitely an experience to eat it's just so fluffy and it got that jelly like structure. It was just amazing! They could have gone easier with the torch on the creme brulee one other than that it was very good! Definitely an 9/10 from me, would recommend this place to everyone that's into pancakes! :)”

    “Read good reviews and thought we would try it. The pancakes were good. Many choices, difficult to choose. We went for pistachio and biscoff. Freshly made so a bit of waiting. We ordered the latte which were ok too. Service was fine. Mostly two seaters, there were 2 tables for 4 people.”
  • James Allen
    “Excellent food at excellent prices. Myself and my partner aren't big on sweet food, we prefer savoury. But for Fluffy Fluffy, we make an exception! The griddles hit an excellent balance of sweet and savoury. Fillings include bacon, cheese and salmon. Really excellent food and most of the griddles cost between £6 and £7. Of course, they make some money back on the shakes, desserts and drinks. The place is well kept and has a great vibe. Honestly, Fluffy Fluffy should be much more popular than it is, considering the amazing food, atmosphere and generous pricing. Top marks from me!”

Good to know

“Traditionally served after weddings to symbolize good fortune, we want our light airy pancakes to brighten up your day. Fuwa Fuwa means “fluffy fluffy” in Japanese and that is the feeling you’ll get when having our pancakes. Originating from Japan, handcrafted soufflé pancakes are traditionally served at weddings and other celebrations. Fuwa Fuwa believes every day is a celebration – we want to celebrate the diversity of Leicester and share a little bit of Japanese culture with everyone. Each pancake is delicately balanced between a soufflé and traditional pancake; a modern take on a classic is the perfect dessert to share with a vibrant and diverse community.”
