Daisy Fernandez★★★★★

Pancakes are fluffy and flavorful! We arrived right at opening time to avoid a wait and paid about $18 per order. We tried the pork soufflé pancakes which did not disappoint for a savory option and the mini pancake sampler platter which allowed us to choose the cheese and plain soufflé pancakes (included a side of maple syrup). I had previously tried their creme brûlée pancakes which were a tad too sweet for me, so this time we opted for less sugary options.

Great big place with good service and great choices. The Soufflé is the reason I came here and I didn’t not disappoint. They wer soft creamy and the toppings made it a win. Very busy spot with old fast service they have outside seating and also inside. Clean and well kept.

I’ve been wanting to try soufflé pancakes for a while, so I was excited to find out that Motto Cafe serves them. Unfortunately, they weren’t what I was expecting and left me a bit disappointed. I ordered the Nutellamisu flavor, the mousse was delicious, but the pancake itself had a strong eggy taste and didn’t pair well with the sweet mousse. I also tried the pistachio crepe chiffon cake, which was decent, and the grapefruit lychee sunset tea, which was just okay. I liked that you can order from a kiosk, but it’s odd that someone brings the food while you still have to grab your own utensils.

Finally had the opportunity to try Motto Tea Cafe. We had the mango matcha drink and mango Souffle Pancakes. The place has nice covered outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. You have to use the kiosks to place your order which was pretty easy and had plenty of options. They made our drink pretty fast. The Souffle Pancakes took about 30 minutes since they are freshly made which is typical for this dish. I appreciate that they had a sign advising of the wait time. The cups used at many of these types of places for these drinks are cleverly designed to be tall and concaved to make it
