Soufflé pancake FAQ
Everything you need to know about our soufflé pancakes, dietary options and visiting us in Glenelg.
Where can I get soufflé pancakes in Adelaide?
Momo Soufflé Pancakes, at 16/7 Moseley Square in Glenelg (on Holdfast Walk, off Jetty Road), specialises in fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes. The Glenelg tram stops right at Moseley Square. We're open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday 6pm–9:30pm and Friday to Sunday 1pm–9:30pm (closed Tuesdays), so we're an easy late-night dessert stop. Hours may change on public holidays, so check our Google Maps listing.
What are Japanese soufflé pancakes?
They're the tall, wobbly, fluffy Japanese pancakes you've probably seen all over social media, also called souffle pancakes, Japanese hotcakes or jiggly pancakes. Whisked egg whites are folded through the batter, then each one is cooked low and slow so it rises high and stays light and jiggly.
What do they taste like? Are they very sweet?
Expect a vanilla aroma, toasted sugar and a gentle custard note, with a soft texture that's much lighter than regular pancakes. The sweetness is Japanese-style: balanced, not ultra-sweet, so you can taste the ingredients.
Do I need to book, and can I get takeaway?
No, we're walk-in only. Order at the counter to dine in or take away (soufflés are best eaten warm and fresh). Each one is cooked to order, so allow about 25 minutes. Dishes are single serve, but two people can happily share one after dinner. We don't offer online ordering or catering.
Do you have gluten-free and dairy-free options?
Yes. Our soufflé batter is made with rice flour and is gluten-free and dairy-free, and most dishes are gluten-free. For dairy-free toppings look for the DF tag: the Blueberry Yuzu Cheesecake is dairy-free and the Strawberry Belgian Chocolate can be made dairy-free (just ask!). We also offer soy, oat, almond and house-made coconut milk. Our kitchen handles common allergens, so please talk to staff about allergies.
Is Momo halal?
No, our menu isn't halal. We use a vanilla bean paste that contains alcohol. Please ask our staff if you have any questions.
What matcha and hojicha do you use?
Ceremonial-grade matcha and hojicha from Japan, made into drinks in-house with no artificial colours or flavours. Try a Strawberry Matcha, Chestnut Matcha or Banana Hojicha.
Do you sell gift cards?
Yes. You can buy a Momo eGift card online and send it to someone. It can be used in store at Momo in Glenelg.
