No Flipper’s? No problem — here are 5 must-try soufflés

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team
 
Recently opened in Taiwan, Tokyo’s legendary queue-worthy FLIPPER’S soufflé still draws huge crowds since launch — you can’t get in without lining up. Sick of the wait but still want those fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth soufflés? Below are 5 other popular soufflés in northern Taiwan you can try without queuing — check them out if you want to skip the lines.

1. Le Mé Soufflé Lab
 
The soufflés at Le Mé Soufflé Lab are made with fresh mascarpone cheese, French Isigny cream, butter, and Nisshin Violet flour — resulting in a rich, milky aroma and cloud-like texture. Paired with the shop’s handmade cocoa sauce, matcha sauce, and yogurt sauce, these treats are almost too pretty to eat. Peak hours get crowded, so try arriving right when they open or call ahead to reserve a spot.

2. KOO Gelato Triangle & Circle
 
Located in Taipei’s Chifeng Street, KOO Gelato Triangle & Circle started as a handmade gelato shop before adding soufflé pancakes to their menu. Aside from sweet versions, they also offer savory options like okonomiyaki-flavored and bacon & egg soufflés — quite unique. The most recommended by netizens is the classic original soufflé pancake, featuring a rich, moist texture paired with whipped cream and fragrant almond slices — an unforgettable taste.

3. Nuage Cloud Pancakes
 
Nuage’s ultra-fluffy three-layered soufflés are made with Japanese Nisshin flour, Mitsui Sugar, and Kyushu O-Milk fresh cream — so soft they feel like drifting clouds, melting in your mouth. Another highlight is the whipped cream served on the side, made purely from Kyushu O-Milk fresh cream with zero additives, plus the shop’s signature O-Milk ice cream. It’s recommended to call ahead for reservations.
