Cons:
"Nice dessert but excessively overpriced."
"Although the pancakes are very light and we loved it, I think it is extremely overpriced."
"The pancakes are lovely, bit expensive but super delicious."
"More than 6 pounds for this dessert and was gone in no time."
"Toppings are required with every bite otherwise you are left with foam that tastes like eggs."
"I know Japanese pancake can be more pricey than normal pancakes because of the amount of eggs they use but yeah almost £7 for only 2 small pancakes is still too pricey."
