"Alicia's Food Log: I accompanied a friend who is the complete opposite of me when it comes to drinking alcohol to this place. The desserts here are so photogenic! The shaved ice was fluffy with plenty of strawberries. The quality of shaved ice these days is really impressive. The pancakes were probably the best I've had recently. Even though I don't usually eat very sweet things, I couldn't resist having another bite... and another! If I have the chance, I would like to try other desserts here too."

Light whipped cream sweet pancakes are the best! The cute interior of the shop, and the self-serve ice water with lemon was a nice touch. I had the banana caramel pancake, single size, for 990 yen. Also tried the dessert pizza for 990 yen. The light whipped cream was delightful, but it did get a bit heavy towards the end... A common pancake experience!

I used UberEats and the S'mores Pizza I had was absolutely delicious! Marshmallows taste so good when they are baked. The melted chocolate and chewy dough are amazing. It's even better if you reheat it a little. The nuts or oats, I'm not sure what they are, in the acai bowl were also good.

Limited time all-you-can-eat pancake deal!!! I could only manage to eat 2 pieces!!! But there were still other menu items available, so if my stomach had room, I would have wanted to try all the varieties. #FukuokaCafe #KitakyushuCafe #KokuraCafe #Pancakes #AllYouCanEatPancakes #AllYouCanEat

Shaved ice / Matcha Red Bean (¥880) Shaved ice / Tiramisu (¥880) The shaved ice from Betubara that started on July 3rd! I chose the Matcha Red Bean flavor. It had a rich matcha syrup, plenty of red beans, and fluffy mitarashi. Inside, there was even matcha warabi mochi which was also delicious. The separate condensed milk syrup for flavor variation was also great.

Luxurious Pistachio Pancake (¥1380) from 12/1 onwards, I tried the new menu item "Queen of Nuts Luxurious Pistachio Pancake" right away. The fluffy and moist pancake is generously topped with pistachio sauce, whipped cream, fresh strawberries, blueberries, and more. It also comes with a side of blackcurrant sauce, which pairs perfectly with the pistachio and tastes delicious. This time, we ordered the double portion to share between two people, but there is also a single portion available for those concerned about the portion size. The green pistachios and red berries make for a cute and perfect look for the Christmas season. It's a limited-time offer, so if you're interested, make sure to try it soon. Thank you for the meal! =========== - Serving period: December 1, 2021 (Wednesday) to February 27, 2022 (Sunday)

I was tired from walking and my friend wanted to eat shaved ice, so we came here. I ordered a hot fruit tea. It had a lot of fruits in it, so I was happy to be able to eat fruits while drinking tea. There was even a banana in it, which was unusual. The shaved ice my friend had was quite big and looked delicious. If I have the chance, I would like to come back when I'm hungry and have some dessert.

We went with four senior colleagues on our day off to a chic casual restaurant that seemed more suited for a girls' lunch or date. It might have been out of place for four adult men to dine there. We ordered the famous Berry Pancake W as it was recommended. I was worried if we could finish it after lunch. But when we tried it, the pancake was fluffy and the acidity of the berries paired well with the whipped cream. I finished it in 10 minutes because it was so delicious. The senior colleagues I was with ordered Matcha Pancake and Apple Pie, which also had good reviews, so I plan to try them next time I visit.

The alluring Very Very Pancakes cost 1100 yen with a service charge of 110 yen and a delivery fee of 200 yen. Although I didn't really want to eat them, I decided to order them after searching for Isshin Tasuke and stumbling upon this restaurant. The pancakes were very cheap-looking, and the whipped cream was extremely oily. It had a vibe of "Hey, bring a woman half your age and get extra points (laughs)."

I wanted to have dessert after the meal, but the place was only half full. I was hoping for shaved ice or a parfait, but they didn't have any. I ended up ordering a banana oreo shake, but there was no banana in it at all (。>д<) It was mostly just ice, so disappointing. Thank you for the meal.

☆It was a visit for time adjustment. When we entered, social distancing was maintained, but it quickly got crowded. They kept seating more and more people, converting 4-person tables into 2-person tables, so it was very crowded. I was a bit surprised. I quickly drank the Pink Grape Soda we ordered. It's a nice place, but I was surprised by how crowded it was at this time.

I had some business to take care of in the Fish Town shopping street. There weren't many people coming out of Kokura Station's ticket gates, but there were surprisingly a lot of people around. I finished my errands and headed back to the station. I noticed that masks, which were sold out at the drugstore, were being sold at shoe stores and on the street. I wonder what's going on? I didn't feel like eating at a restaurant, so I found a place with takeout options. There were a few items available, including bento boxes, but I decided to buy an egg sandwich. It was around 300 yen. I'll enjoy it at home. The egg was really thick and the bread was soft, with just the right amount of salt in the egg. It's a taste you can only experience now.

I had been eager to go to this restaurant for about 5 years, but I hadn't been able to because I don't have any friends who love sweets. I always get invited to meat shops or bars... Whenever I had some free time, I planned to go alone, but this time I was lucky enough to have some time to spare before a meeting, so I decided to go around 8 pm. Forget about the diet... I reluctantly decided to pass the time there. Lately, my diet has been showing results, so now is the time to persevere. Instead of pancakes, I decided to order a drink... and the menu caught my eye with a caramel banana pancake... or was it a slightly different name? It seemed like it was something different. It was definitely going to be delicious... Caramel, banana, and whipped cream, it's bound to be delicious. Today, I'll take a break from the diet! I usually tend to indulge my cravings, but I still want to live a life without regrets! Justifying myself, but still feeling a bit guilty, I ordered a single pancake. And to balance out the sweetness in my mouth, I ordered a hot coffee. The interior of the shop is filled with a sweet aroma. It's so blissful... A wonderful shop where you can also enjoy the smell. The coffee arrived first, followed by the pancake. It's hard to tell the size from the stylish photo, so I took another picture of just the pancake, but it's huge! I was so happy! As soon as I took a bite, I thought, "Delicious." Other than the occasional hint of cinnamon, there wasn't anything particularly special, just simply delicious. The harmony of sweetness and deliciousness. I can't help but feel pure happiness. Even after 9 pm, more customers kept coming in. It's like a place for a dessert after a night out, right? The age group seemed to be quite young. There were a lot of university students and people in their twenties. I felt like I stood out... Haha. There were no groups of office workers, so I couldn't blend in with the atmosphere of the shop. The shop and the staff have a stylish vibe, so it seems to be popular among women and the younger generation. They are open until late at night, so I would definitely recommend it to those with a sweet tooth coming back from a drinking party. Comfort level for solo dining ★★☆☆☆

I visited a shop I had been curious about with my friends. I forgot the name, but... We had chocolate-filled pancakes, pink grapefruit juice, and cola. My friend had French toast. I hesitated between getting the large or small size of pancakes, but the small size was the right choice. They were quite big and surprising. I wonder why? The chocolate wasn't too sweet and was light, so there was a danger of overeating (lol). One of the kids mixed everything together, so it didn't look good, and I wished I could have eaten them individually. I couldn't finish the pink grapefruit juice until the end, so it ended up being left. I guess for sweet things, I prefer iced coffee or my favorite cola. Seeing many female customers, I understood the reason. Eating something sweet helped me relieve stress. Thank you for the meal.

A cafe located in a shopping street. It seems to focus on sweets, but they also have light meal options. The cafe has a stylish atmosphere with glass walls. There were many young women there. It's lively, so it's easy to visit with children. I ordered pancakes for lunch. Fluffy pancakes with sausages, scrambled eggs, salad, and potato chips. The taste was average.

The menu cover was a bit hard to notice, but I ordered the pancake set♪ The fluffy pancakes here are not too eggy and have a nice texture, very satisfying♪ I'm not a fan of overly sweet things, so I asked for the maple syrup on the side, which they kindly provided in a separate dish! The whipped cream was sprayed on, but they gave a generous amount, so it felt light and refreshing! However, with 3 pancakes, I felt like there wasn't enough whipped cream. We also ordered the apple crepe with a crispy pie inside, which was delicious♪ For drinks, we ordered the set option. I appreciate the waitress's suggestion of serving the sauce on a separate dish, it was a nice touch from the cute staff!

A cafe that is open until late at night. It's great that you can enjoy hearty desserts even in the late hours! They also have a selection of alcoholic drinks. I tried the apple Dutch baby, which had a bit too much cream for my liking, but I still managed to finish it haha. My two friends had shaved ice, and I tried a bit of it. It had a nice fruity taste without being too sweet, and it was delicious! The quality of the desserts may not be top-notch, but the atmosphere of the cafe is nice, and I appreciate that they stay open late. It's a great place for a second or third round!

It's the Kurume Series. There is a saying that "there is always room for dessert," and I have heard that this is scientifically true. When people see their favorite food, visual stimuli are transmitted to the brain, which in turn stimulates the stomach's peristalsis and creates new space in the stomach. So, I decided to visit the trendy cafe "Betsubara" today. The French toast looks fancy, but the taste is just average. The cafe has a pop vibe, but considering the price range and the fact that there is no restroom inside, I don't think I will visit again. Why are trendy cafes so expensive? It must be the cost of being trendy. It's great that they are open until 25:00.

"There probably isn't a woman who hasn't thought, 'I've eaten and drunk enough at the drinking party, but I still want to talk more, and I really want to eat something sweet.' This place, 'Betsubara,' is open until 25:00, so it's a valuable shop that can satisfy your craving for something sweet after drinking. It seems like many people have the same idea, as I visited around 22:00 on Friday and the place was almost full, with about 80% of the customers being women. Since I was really full this time (lol), I gave up on the pancakes and ordered the Mixed Berry Milk and Oreo drink. It's a new kind of drink that is completed by shaking it before drinking, as instructed by the staff to "shake it 30 times before consuming." I couldn't quite catch if it was 30 minutes, 30 times, or 30 seconds, but I shook it 30 times and enjoyed it. It had milk and ice in it, so it was like a lightly sweet shake. I wonder what the correct answer was?"

I, a jaded and cynical reviewer, often wonder why couples would enjoy dining at a trendy yet mediocre restaurant that is always packed. But I finally understand now. It's because they are on a date with a cute girl! I've posted reviews for nearly 2,500 restaurants on Tabelog, but this one was one of the few I visited for a date. Accompanied by a girl who brings some light into my life, we ordered the Triple Chocolate Pancakes. She complimented my cute choice, but little did she know I chose it because it reminded me of the "Black Tri-Stars" from Gundam. The pancakes were sweet and satisfying, with the chocolate sauce adding depth to the flavor. The Gato Chocola was decent, while the chocolate ice cream was surprisingly the most delicious part. It was made with good quality chocolate, complementing the pancakes perfectly. Overall, the pancakes were not exceptional, but the toppings made up for it. It was a delightful experience. As for what happened after the date, some things are better left unsaid. If I had come alone, I might have given it a 3.5-star rating.
