If you find yourself in Riyadh and are on the lookout for the latest dessert trend, Fuwa Bakery specializes in Japanese fluffy pancakes — and they are hard to resist.

The pancakes are renowned for their incredible softness and come in a wide array of flavors, ensuring there is something to please every palate.

Among the offerings, the classic flavor stands out as a well-balanced option for those who may not have a strong sweet tooth. For those willing to explore bolder tastes, the tiramisu pancake delivers a delightful blend of flavors that simply melt in your mouth.

While the pancakes shine, the coffee leaves much to be desired. My experience with both the espresso and the black Colombian coffee was disappointing; they were lackluster and overpriced. If you are a coffee enthusiast, you may want to skip the brew here and just enjoy the pancakes. I did enjoy the matcha iced tea, which was creamy and flavorful without any bitterness and paired well with the pancakes.

The chocolate and cheesecake pancakes were also highlights of my visit, showcasing the bakery’s knack for creating delicious desserts that keep customers coming back for more.

Overall, Fuwa Bakery delivers a delightful experience for anyone with a sweet tooth. The pancakes take a bit of time to prepare, but the wait is well worth it.

With a variety of flavors, including pecan, salted caramel, raspberry cheesecake, and tiramisu, there is something for everyone.
