Flipper's Jiyugaoka

Serving up super-fluffy, airy, melt-in-your-mouth soufflé fare, Flipper's is one of the main players behind the ongoing second coming of Tokyo's pancake boom. After starting out in Shimokitazawa early this summer and attracting predictably lengthy queues on a daily basis, they expanded to Jiyugaoka in September – and are set to charm local dessert-lovers with their signature pancakes, topped simply with fruit or the shop's original maple butter cream.
