Hanabusa Cafe

29 E Madison St, Chicago, IL 60602

Closed

Cafe serving fluffy pancakes, soufflés, and other comfort food, plus coffee and tea.

Beloved cafe dishing up Japanese souffle pancakes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner inside the 29 East Madison Building in the Chicago Loop. The menu focuses on fluffy pancakes, with popular options including the Earl Grey sea salt caramel pancakes and the matcha pancakes. There's also a good selection of teas and coffees, as well as desserts like custard and fruit. The cozy, quaint setting is good for kids and solo diners. People appreciate the kind staff. However, there can be a long wait for food, as the pancakes are made to order. Customers typically spend $10–20.
