Imagine sinking your fork into soft, cloud-like pancakes infused with the earthy richness of matcha, topped with fresh tangy strawberries, matcha ice cream, red bean paste, and mochi balls. Sounds like a dream, right? At Hoshino Coffee in Opus Mall, this dream dessert becomes a reality. Their Matcha Soufflé Pancakes are a true delight—a perfect balance of sweetness and subtle bitterness that’s both visually stunning and irresistibly tasty.

But there’s more to Hoshino Coffee than just their pancakes. This Japanese café-restaurant, originally from Japan, has mastered the art of blending Japanese precision with Western café culture. Their Opus Mall branch is a testament to this harmonious fusion, offering not only delectable dishes but also a cozy, inviting atmosphere that welcomes all.

The moment you step inside, you’re greeted by the warm, wood-toned interiors that exuded a welcoming charm. The subtle background music and the gentle hum of conversations made it a haven for anyone seeking a relaxing escape. Whether you're there to work, catch up with friends, or simply indulge in some self-care time, this café ticks all the boxes.

And while the Matcha Soufflé Pancakes are a highlight, the rest of the menu offers plenty of reasons to linger. From hearty brunch plates to aromatic coffee, Hoshino Coffee delivers a fusion of comfort and creativity in every bite and sip.

What Makes Hoshino Coffee Stand Out?

Hoshino Coffee is best known for its hand-dripped coffee, meticulously crafted with beans selected by their in-house coffee blend specialist. The result? A cup of coffee that’s rich, aromatic, and undeniably satisfying. But coffee isn’t their only forte. Their menu boasts an impressive array of dishes, from authentic Japanese cuisine to delectable pastries, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

What We Ordered (and Loved!)

During our lunch visit, we dove into a selection of their best offerings, and each dish told a story of culinary passion:

Matcha Pancake Soufflé Style (Single Serving – Php 398): Fluffy, light, and almost cloud-like, this dessert was a symphony of sweetness balanced with the tanginess of fresh strawberries. It’s a must-try for pancake lovers! This needs to be eaten immediately! The ice cream is melting fast.
