Motto Tea Cafe Pasadena

Good drinks and fluffy pancakes! I liked the mango in kyoto and mango in uji very much. for the pancakes I liked the mango sunshine. the cheese was just the mango without mango, as the mango had the cream.

Love the souffles here and their tea options are also solid! the souffle takes a dae (15-20 min) so would recommend before ordering before they come here when they are in a hurry. there are not many seats outside, but the pasadena center is just a short walk away.

Absolutely indulgent! I tried the berries in uji, taro cake, soufflé cream pancakes, and the strawberry box. The drink quickly became a favorite of mine – a brilliant creation! While I wasn't a huge fan of the taro cake, I do enjoy experimenting with taro in various dishes. The pancakes were heavenly, an absolute delight with every bite. The strawberry box was also quite nice. I'm already looking forward to coming back as there are so many other dishes I want to try. I highly recommend this place! I won't go into detail about how much you need to try the crème brûlée soufflé pancakes, but honestly, if you do, you won't regret it. I love this place and hope to return soon. I don’t give 5 stars easily!

I love pancakes, but I never had Japanese pancakes. they are so fluffy! delicious butter, mouthwater, decadent to the last bit! it takes about 25 minutes from the grill to the table, but it is worth waiting.

This is a very cute cafe in Pasadena on the corner of a busy intersection. We didn't have trouble finding street parking. There are lots of restaurants, retail stores, and other cafes around. Per recommendation by the employee, we chose to get the Mango sunshine soufflé pancake. $13.95. They may be pricey but the portion, quality and taste is worth it! They use mangos, mango purée, and assortment of fruits. The soufflés are made to order and use fresh ingredients from japan! You can see them make it right in front of you. They are the fluffiest cloudy pancakes I've ever tasted or seen! They are egg based, so it did have an eggy taste. Japanese Momo Peach Milk Tea without cheese foam $4.25 I don't have a photo of this but this year was my favvvvv!!! It has such a subtly peach and floral taste. It has such a girly/feminine taste. Every sip was surprisingly better than the previous. Will be getting this again!
