Doki Doki - Japanese Dessert Café

Okay, so me and my family have been hyped to try this place for the better part of a year, but we live a distance away and the couple of times we've tried, parking wasnt really great downtown, so we have had to skip it. We we made the trek in on a Saturday and decided to pony up for parking. We get inside and are greeted by a sign saying there will be a 45 minute wait for the pancakes which is what we'd been wanting to try. We rang the bell and someone came out to take our order at which point we were told that the wait time had just increased to an hour. That's fine, just another 15 minutes. So we ordered a taiyaki fish for each of us, filled with Nutella for 3 of us and biscoff in mine and 3 orders of pancakes, 2 to be shared between my sister and brother in law and their daughter and on

Food is 10/10!! We love everything. Especially the pancakes and crepe cakes! Really want to try their French toast. The location is rough though and did not feel safe. People even walk through the business from the back door open to the other side of the parking lot. Taking advantage of their drink dispensers. Signage is very small so I wonder how they are getting noticed. The food is incredible and they are so generous to the community! Wish you had a Utah County location :)

Tried the ube crepe cake here and woww it was absolutely out of this world. Super light, airy, and incredibly delicious, unlike anything I’ve had before. A bit pricey for a slice, but totally worth it. I was hoping to try the passion fruit crepe cake, but they were sold out. Highly recommend!

Having been to Japan, I was a little disappointed. The fruit sandos at 7-11’s in Japan are 1000x better and 1/4 the price. The bread with these were not the traditional soft fluffy milk bread. It was more dry and thin. The cream and berries were good. The pancakes were also mainly good based on their toppings. the pancakes weren’t bad, but they were also not something I would crave or be willing to spend $14 on again.

The staff was unfriendly, and they were out of many menu items. There were a bunch of angry hand written signs telling customers how to clean up after themselves. The ube fluffy pancakes had the faintest taste of ube. The texture was good. But the taste severly underdelivered, and we found hair in them. Nothing we had was something any of us would want again, and the price was pretty steep to begin with.
