So glad I finally made the trip to try out their souffle pancakes. They're a cute tea/dessert shop located at The Source. It's a perfect place to grab dessert, catch up with friends or family or even to read a book! I wouldn't recommend it for studying because it does get pretty loud when it's crowded. You order at the counter, they'll give you a number and you find any available seating. They have plenty of outdoor seating if indoor seating is packed. After you finish eating, you take your dishes/cups to a bin located next to the register so your seat/table is ready for the next person. Overall, I can see why some may feel like it is expensive for what it is, which is why I felt like you get better value when you opt for the savory option. The egg benedicts come with the japanese souffle pancake instead of the typical english muffin. I'll have to try their dessert pancakes and their teas some other day and see if my thoughts change.

|| L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Located on the 1st floor of The Source (strip mall on the corner of Beach Blvd and Orangethorpe Ave. -Next to Old Ferry Donut -There is a parking structure with 5 floors connected to The Source. Even during its peak hours, I've never seen it fully packed.

|| F O O D / D R I N K S || Ube Latte (R: $5.50/L: $6.50) - You can get this iced or hot. I opted for a hot ube latte as I wanted the cute latte art. Do note that I did specifically ask/request for it when I ordered it. I wasn't sure if they had the time to do latte art, but thankfully they were able to do it for me! I liked how it wasn't overly sweet which I find is usually the reason why I stray away from ube lattes. I did find that it wasn't super strong in ube flavor so I wonder if that's why it wasn't super sweet. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it!

Smoked Salmon Benedict ($16.50) - I was in pickle whether I wanted a sweet or savory pancake. At the end, I opted for something savory. I do highly recommend getting the smoked salmon benedict if you're debating between the regular egg benedict and the smoked salmon one. For a little extra, I do think it's worth it. They don't skimp out on the hollandaise sauce, the smoked salmon or the guacamole. I liked how the pancakes made each bite just a tad sweet, something different than the usual english muffin on a benedict.
