Fluffy Fluffy bringing the souffle pancakes to 1st Avenue

The signage arrived yesterday at 153 First Ave. for Fluffy Fluffy, a dessert cafe for the long vacant space between Ninth Street and 10th Street.

Here's more about the brand via a press release from earlier in the year:
Founded in 2018, Fluffy Fluffy began franchising in 2020 with a mission to spread joy worldwide through souffle pancakes. Originating in Canada, the brand offers handcrafted Japanese-style souffle pancakes known for their soft, bouncy, and incredibly light texture. 

Made with locally sourced milk and free of artificial additives, each souffle pancake is cooked slowly at a low temperature for up to 20 minutes. Topped with a variety of fruits, toppings, and house-made sauces, they aim to bring the celebratory symbol of joy and togetherness traditionally associated with Japanese souffle pancakes into daily life. 

The brand's diverse menu includes more than just souffle pancakes, featuring innovative delights like croffles, burnt top cheesecake, roll cake, macarons, lattes, and specialty sodas. Fluffy Fluffy demonstrates its commitment to inclusivity by offering meat-free menu options, catering to diverse dietary preferences.
The last tenant at No. 153 was Coyote Ugly, which held forth here with bartop dancing and body shots for 27 years. CU left this address in September 2020 ... for new digs on 14th Street

No. 153 received a gut renovation, though no takers.

  1. I wish we could get a restaurant that would serve pancakes (and eggs and toast and sandwiches...) instead of another "specialty dessert franchise" that provides no real nourishment for our neighborhood.

    1. Veselka and Little Poland are a block away. Stop complaining.
