Hanabusa Cafe offers a cozy and charming atmosphere with delicious meals like matcha pancakes and peach green tea. The pancakes are fluffy, light as clouds, and rich, resembling desserts from a five-star bakery. The Nutella soufflé pancakes are a highlight, topped with Nutella, crushed nuts, fresh berries, and whipped cream, creating an unreal combination. The tea has a lovely, almost jasmine-like depth that enhances the overall experience. The café may be small, and there can be a wait during busy times, often around 20-30 minutes, as each order is made fresh. While some customers note that the pancakes can take time to arrive, they agree that the wait is worthwhile. The staff is friendly and manages the crowd well, making the experience pleasant. The atmosphere is cute, making it a good spot for dessert and sweet treats. Additionally, the café serves ramen, but only during the week.
