Gram Cafe Pancakes Richmond

Fluffy pancakes are pretty good but doesn 't really wow me. However, it is good, not too sweet (def a compliment). Cute café to have a little hangout with friends for sure. Or a date (who doesn 't want something sweet on dates right) ?

I ordered Uber take out and this is a $18 tiramisu? And a $6.50 bacon? Just a portion like this?

I had a small strawberry soufflé pancake to go. It was soft, rich and satisfying. The service I received was lovely too.

Should only deserve 3 stars because: only one waiter active at any given time or day air conditioning was off. We were wearing T shirts and shorts and still we found the room rather warm or lacking air circulation. Outside temp was 21C at the time. Maybe that 's why aircon was off. expensive. Knew Gram is a Japanese cafe beforehand as we have visited a few many times while traveling Japan and living in Hong Kong. Being a Japanese cafe means it would be expensive, and presentation and taste are more important than quantity. My BLT Sandwich has one thin slice of bacon (for each half of bread), one slice of tomato, one lettuce leaf, and two slices of bread. And that cost $16. Sadly, the taste of my BLT sandwich is no better than if I were to pan fry bacon myself at home and sandwiched it. So, yes, $16 for something I can make myself within 5 minutes, has the same taste if not better, and cost less than a dollar to make is extremely exorbitant if you ask me. I 'll stick to pancake or deserts if I were you ? weak coffee. Not a fan of Japanese coffee, but others consider it gourmet coffee. I traveled all over Japan and everywhere offered similar coffee. I guess I 'm a Starbucks/Tim Horton coffee guy. The only reason I was there was the wife had a craving for pancakes.Gave it 4 stars because: 5 minutes with no service, the one and only waiter finally came over, and explained he was busy working on a lot of orders and will get back to us in 10 minutes. To compensate us, my Drip Coffee was free of charge. Not only that, it offered free top up. Honestly, we wouldn 't mind so much waiting if the air conditioning was turned on. waiter was all smile, charismatic, very friendly and very polite. That 's the kind of service that deserves 15% or more tips.

The pancake is delicious and very good service by the server! It's one guy running the whole floor so he's obviously busy with so many tables but overall he was attentive and energetic. We'll come back next time to try the other pancake flavours ? it does take a while for a fresh batch of pancakes to be made (the server did tell us a 30 min ETA) so don't come if you're in a hurry. The seatings are comfortable and the store is spacious so waiting wasn't an issue for us.
