What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about Fujisan Pancake's signature fluffy pancakes, uniquely baked with Mount Fuji's lava rocks. The friendly service and welcoming atmosphere contribute to a highly enjoyable experience. However, some recent reviews suggest a decline in pancake quality and menu changes that have removed previously favored savory items.
"Was a rainy day around mt.Fuji and were just looking for something to eat. If you know me I love me some fluffy Japanese style pancakes 🥞. I mean you see it all over social media so it’s definitely worthy of a taste.
Make no mistake this is some bomb pancakes, they do take 20 mins because they’re baked but nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I love blueberry but I’d have to say the plain is probably better because you can taste the sweetness of the pancake.
Service was friendly and the atmosphere was too. You can grab your own refills of water and more parking on the side of the restaurant.
If you’re in the area you definitely should check them out!"

"Must try!
BEST PANCAKE - It was soft and fluffy on the inside with a slightly crisp top. Pancake was baked with Mt Fuji’s lava oven. Need to wait around 20 minutes for the pancake (cause it’s freshly baked) and worth the wait!
Staff were also friendly, service was superb.
There is parking available in front of the store."

"This Café is a 10/10 experience. The pancake sandwich and eggs were straight fire. That egg sandwich? Unreal. The whole vibe had me feeling like the main character in a cozy rom-com. My hubby and I chilled, the music was vibing, and they even whipped me up a ginger honey tea. I’m very happy—and yeah, I’m 100% coming back to this little gem."

Fujisan Pancake's signature dish, ‘Mount Fuji Pancakes’ feature rich cream adorably whipped in the shape of Mount Fuji. The kiln is made of volcanic rock from Mount Fuji, allowing the pancakes to be cooked at high temperatures in a short amount of time due to the natural far-infrared effect.
