this cafe is so cute! the service is great and i like the calm, quiet vibe. i ordered the iced strawberry matcha with almond milk and the nori fries with truffle parmesan. the matcha was okay in my opinion. the truffle parmesan fries were INSANE. genuinely the best fries i’ve ever had!!!! i definitely want to come back and try the coffee and a soufflé pancake. the menu is pretty big and there’s a lot to choose from!

I found this place on the map while searching for soufflé pancakes and we decided to try it! I’m a big matcha lover, and I’m giving it 5 stars because those matcha soufflé pancakes are the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted! The food wasn’t that great, but those pancakes are absolutely amazing.

Great experience at Soft Bite! I grabbed the Osmanthus Americano and the overnight oats. The coffee has a nice floral note without being a sugar bomb – really smooth. The oats were fresh and tasted as good as they looked.
The vibe here is amazing!. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and it feels like a proper local spot. Definitely worth a visit!

We had souffle pancakes eggs benedict & omurice with tonkatsu, both were really good! The souffle pancakes were fluffy & nicely done. The tonkatsu was crispy & not oily. This is our first time here & it’s a nice discovery!

Wonderful food! We had the Japanese curry and creme brûlée pancake, a perfect combination of savory and sweet that reflects the diversity of this city.
The service and drinks were also excellent, perfect brunch spot for your day in Queens!

Current rating 4.1* is unjust! Should be 5*! One my friend was telling me about delicious Japanese soufflé pancakes. But since I am european we don’t really get used to eat thick pancakes so I gave a pass. Few days ago saw stories of my friend from Japan and only then I saw how these pancakes look like and could not wait to try it! So I found this place and went here from Manhattan. Menus are faded, out of date (some positions are missing and stroke out), we were waiting like 7 minutes for waiter to get an order from us. But then food was delivered very fast. My daughter really loved it, she finished her meal what is very unusual. I feel sad for this place! location is not nice… they would fit much better in UWS (my opinion)… or in Korea town (my wife’s opinion)

My coworker and I stumbled upon Softbite’s booth at JapanFes. We ordered their Very Matcha Soufflé Pancake and Ube Sparkles Soufflé Pancake. Not only were they light, fluffy, and jiggly, but the flavor was exquisite. Despite looking very sweet, my coworker and I were pleased to know that it was just sweet enough without overloading our taste buds.
After trying their booth in JapanFes, we both had to try their café in Long Island City. Upon entering, you are warmly greeted by the staff and seated amongst the open and organized seats. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow a great view of the streets and let in the natural lights.
Other than their iconic soufflé pancakes, I recommend their Chicken Karaage. It is crispy but not overly fried. The chicken is hot, plump, and juicy! I tried their wasabi mayo and it packed quite the punch!
My advice is to come on the weekdays. Weekends will have people swarming in, making it difficult for you (and your group) to get a seat/table. Not only that, but be sure to check out their website! They offer monthly specials. I tried their Pink Cloud Soufflé Pancake before it ended and it was worth taking an extra hour for lunch. Please note that you do have to wait when ordering their soufflé pancakes as these are made fresh!

The creme brulee souffle pancakes were underwhelming. The egg flavor was dominant and there really wasn’t much of a creme brulee flavor at all. The soft serve on the side was the highlight. Service seemed unengaged.

Great cafe! The food is really good (recommend the soufflé pancakes!), and they have real matcha. Decor is beautiful and gives a peaceful vibe for meeting with friends.

This spot definitely leans into quality over quantity — the portions aren’t huge, but every bite is seriously worth it. You can taste the attention to detail and freshness in everything they serve.
The name “Soft Bite” totally fits — the pancakes are unbelievably fluffy and light, almost melt-in-your-mouth soft. Highly recommend the crème brûlée pancakes — they’re rich, slightly crisp on top, and just the right level of indulgent. The Tornado eggs and the breakfast platter are also solid picks — everything feels like a thoughtful, upscale take on a classic European-style breakfast.
It’s not the cheapest place around, but for the quality you’re getting, it’s totally fair. Great for a slow, cozy brunch where you want something a little more special.
