​​Fluffy Fluffy: Suburban Chicago’s Soufflé Pancake Spot 🥞✨​​

📍 ​​Fluffy Fluffy Cafe​​ 601 N Martingale Rd Suite 170C, Schaumburg, IL 60173 As a former ​​Hanabusa (downtown Chicago soufflé pancake spot)​​ devotee, I was thrilled to find this ​​new suburban soufflé cafe​​—but it’s a ​​mixed bag​​. ​​🍽️ What We Ordered​​ 🍵 ​​Matcha Tiramisu Pancakes​​: Fluffy, eggy soufflé pancakes topped with ​​matcha powder + strawberries​​—delicate and rich. 🥐 ​​Bacon & Egg Croissant Sandwich​​: Decent, but the ​​unnecessary mayo​​ was a weird choice (salad side was fine). ​​⚠️ The Downsides​​ ⏳ ​​50-Minute Wait​​: Despite a posted "15-20 min" estimate, our food trickled out ​​painfully slow​​. 🤷 ​​Zero Service​​: ​​Self-order, self-pickup, self-bus tables​​—and even ​​water​​ is kept behind the counter (you must ask for it, worsening the glacial pace). 🍰 ​​Portion Issues​​: Only ​​2 pancakes​​ vs. Hanabusa’s 3, and ​​skimpy cream​​ (hence the upsell for "extra"). ​​💸 Verdict​​ ​​Taste​​: ​​8/10​​ (pancakes themselves are good). ​​Experience​​: ​​3/10​​ (wait + no service = frustration). ​​Value​​: ​​Meh​​. #ChicagoEats #SoufflePancakes #SuburbanFoodie #FluffyFluffy #DessertLovers
