From markets to main street
What began as a modest stall at Eat Street Markets has blossomed into a Brisbane favourite. Soufflé Japancakes first won over crowds with its wobbly, cloud-like pancakes that were unlike anything else on offer in the city. The popularity of those jiggly stacks soon led to permanent cafés, including the Greenslopes outpost that now draws a steady stream of regulars.
The pancakes everyone’s talking about
At the heart of Soufflé Japancakes’ appeal are its soufflé pancakes. Light, airy, and almost impossibly fluffy, these pancakes are cooked low and slow to achieve their signature height and melt-in-your-mouth softness. They wobble on the plate, making them as much fun to admire as they are to eat.
The menu caters to every taste, from classic to creative. The Original Soufflé Pancake is the simple, cloud-like starting point, while the Philadelphia Berries Cheesecake Pancake layers cream and fresh fruit. For something more decadent, there’s the Oreo-filled Philadelphia Oreo Pancake, the indulgent Choc Salted Caramel Banana, or the torched Crème Brûlée Pancake.
For adventurous eaters, the Kyoto Uji Matcha Pancake brings a refined green tea flavour, while the Kuromitsu x Kinako Pancake combines roasted soybean flour and Japanese brown sugar. And if you’re in the mood for something savoury, the menu includes Japanese twists like the Okonomiyaki Pancake Special, Eggs Benedict on a soufflé pancake base, and Smoked Salmon with Avocado.
Beyond pancakes
Soufflé Japancakes isn’t just about pancakes. Its Japanese-style sandos – soft, pillowy sandwiches – are another drawcard. The Free Range Egg Sando is creamy and light, while the Chicken Teriyaki Sando balances sweet and savoury flavours. To wash it down, colourful drinks like the Iced Fresh Strawberry & Uji Matcha Latte make the café feel just as much about presentation as taste.
A local brunch favourite
Greenslopes already has plenty of cosy cafés, but Soufflé Japancakes stands out for offering a brunch that’s as playful as it is satisfying. For locals, it’s become a reliable spot to indulge in something a little different – whether that’s a towering stack of pancakes or a Japanese sando that disappears in just a few bites.
