Flipper'sCHAIN

5.8/10

AI-generated summary

Get the . People say it's fluffy in a way regular pancakes aren't, and it's the reason to make the trip downtown. Plenty of others call it a novelty worth doing once and not much more. It's run about $19 for years, and the waits and the hosting draw complaints.

  • replying to u/thansal: I'm pretty sure souffle pancakes are only: Flippers, Taiyaki (only on the weekends) and Eggcellent Soufflés Pancake (in that little food mall on 40th in Flushing). So check all 3 out? I've only tried Flippers, and wasn't particularly impressed, but I think that's the dish itself just isn't for me. People seem to like Taiyaki (it's the one I hear the most), but those hours are kinda silly, and it means a massive line normally, and they have like 2 tables in total iirc, so it's basically to go only, which seems like not the best for that dish. And if anyone tells you to go to Hi Collar: They're wrong, that's just tall pancakes. Good pancakes (and excellent coffee), but not the dish you're looking for.

    “I'm not a big fan of Flipper's either.”

  • “Other places worth trying- Bubby’s, Clinton St. Baking Company for blueberry pancakes, Shopsin’s for slutty pancakes, Flipper’s for souffle pancakes, Sunday in Brooklyn.”

  • “Flippers, Taiyaki NYC or Eggcellent soufflés pancake for souffle pancakes (the giant fluffy things, Hi-Collar doesn't serve them, they just have tall pancakes). Not my favorite thing, but worth trying once.”

  • “Fucking Flippers man. Get them Japanese soufflé pancakes and ask for two forks no knives”

  • “My favorite is at Flippers – Japanese soufflé pancake place. Comes with a truffle mayo-type sauce!”

  • replying to u/xunyou198: Second on Hi-Collar. I would love a soufflé pancake but their matcha pancake is so good

    “I just had Flippers souffle pancakes and they were fantastic.”
