Hawaiian pancake at a casual café

“Hawaiian Pancake Factory” is located on the second floor of Shinjuku Mylord. It’s still pretty unknown, so you won’t need to line up to get in!

As Shinjuku is a pancake-café-concentrated area, many of the cafés have long waiting lines even on weekdays. But “Hawaiian Pancake Factory” is the perfect hidden café!

Welcome to Hawaii! Aloha~!

As you enter the café, you will find tables on the right, and tables and a counter space on the left. I like the spacious and comfortable room!

Rock salt lamp + Hawaiian music = relaxing

A rock salt lamp is placed on each table. It creates such a relaxing atmosphere together with the Hawaiian music that fills the room.

There’s so many to choose from… I can’t make up my mind!

Ice cream peaking out from the mountain of whipped cream

I decided to go with the blueberry pancake.
The three syrups are maple, mango and coconut.

Having the pancake in front of me, I can’t deny its allure!
Three small pancakes covered in a mountain of whipped cream and a blueberry sauce with big chunks of berries.

To be eaten all together!

I take a bite of the pancake. Hmm… To be completely honest, there is nothing special about it. The texture is not particularly soft or fluffy.

But wait a minute! Try it together with the whipped cream and sauce, it’s sooo delicious!!!

Although it seemed quite substantial, I had no trouble finishing it.
In some cafés, the pancakes are so big, I often see customers not being able to finish their plates. An appropriate quantity is very important, also so the customer won’t feel bad for having to leave it over.

Also, I appreciate that there are washrooms inside the café, even though it is inside a department store.
