Fuwa Fuwa pancake chain opens second Calgary location
Fuwa Fuwa, a popular Japanese pancake restaurant, is having a grand opening at its new location in Calgary.
The grand opening was originally planned for September, and then in December, so it’s so exciting that it finally happening on January 14 and 15 at 3945 University Avenue NW.
This dessert breakfast spot opened in December, but this big weekend will have deals and specials on both days to celebrate. The great spot joins other exciting recent openings in the University District, like Borough Bar, Banquet Bar, and the Cineplex VIP experience.
This chain is known for unbelievably soft and airy pancakes, with toppings that include fresh fruit, decadent chocolate, house-made cream cheeses, and more.
âWe are so excited to be giving Calgarians another place to try our delicious souffle pancakes,â said Benson Lau, business development director of Fuwa Fuwa Pancakes, in a media release.
The first outpost is in Kensington, at 1111 Kensington Road NW, and it’s become a hit in the community.
âOur first store in Kensington was incredibly well-received, and we think that the ever-evolving University District is the perfect location to open our next store, and to bring new innovative desserts, such as the croffle and Japanese cheesecakes, to the Calgarian dessert scene.â
The name means “fluffy fluffy” in Japanese, and the pancakes are some of the fluffiest you’ll ever try.
These pancakes are made by whipping egg whites to soft peaks, which is how they get their souffle-like quality. Also like a souffle, the pancakes are cooked slowly at a low temperature.
It’s a delicate process that combines soufflĂ© and traditional pancake cooking techniques, creating a one-of-a-kind item that Calgary will lose it over.
The Fuwa Fuwa Signature is served with strawberries, blueberries, and bananas, but there are also creations like tiramisu, crÚme brûlée, and matcha and red bean pancakes.
Pancakes are the way to go here, but there are also extravagant waffle dishes, macarons, rolls, crepes, cookies, and even burnt-top cheesecake.
To celebrate this grand opening weekend, the first 50 guests to arrive will get a free drink with the purchase of a pancake. As if that wasn’t enough, pancakes and croffles will be $5.99 Â all weekend.
Stop by and indulge in this sweet menu!
