The vibe here is amazing!. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, and it feels like a proper local spot. Definitely worth a visit!
The service and drinks were also excellent, perfect brunch spot for your day in Queens!
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 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.
