The Concept
A concept the world
is ready for.
CAJP Japanese Pancakes blends the art of Japanese café culture with the energy of London brunch. Our gluten-free, dairy-free soufflé pancakes are fluffy, photogenic, and unlike anything on most high streets.
Inspired by Nina & Marco’s trip to Japan, since opening we’ve become a destination - not just a café.
