I loved the atmosphere here! My friend craved Japanese pancakes so I brought her here. Their pancakes were so fluffy!!! We also tried their pancake French toast, PB& J French toast, country bread omelette, and Keki latte. Thumps up!!!

Lovely experience! I came here to try their famous Japanese pancakes. I ordered their hibiscus tea, which I really liked as it balanced out the sweetness of the French toast pancake. Their cheese-custard danish was also really good! I loved the combination of the different flavours. The place is really quite and great to finish some work! Funny because it’s neighbour, Joud, was packed and had people come in and out all the time. Regardless, I will be coming back again! I wish they had more electrical sockets to charge your phone and laptop near your table.

They have delicious breakfast. Also, I’m %100 sure that you will never taste a better flat white than Keki’s flat white. If you go here and you are a coffee enthusiast, order flat white... trust me, you won’t be able to name a place that can make a better flat white.

Good ambiance and food. Best for working outside office. Tried the original cheesecake and it was amazing (sugar level perfect, fluffy and no bad aftertastes). And egg avocado and shakshoka was great (tomato acidity level was zero, taste and texture of cheese and the shape of the egg). They even have “Molton Brown” hand wash (for those who doesn’t know this brand, it’s very expensive brand to find in a restaurant)

I go there for their Japanese pancakes. The fluffiest, light pancakes in the world. But they also do delicious eggs and fruit bowls.

Keki Japanese bakery!Having seen some reviews of this place. I visited today and was totally blown away by the service, the staff knowledge and of course their tasty goodies!The fluffy original cheesecake was amazing and the the tarts! The chocolate cheesecake was fresh out of the oven and super tasty!The Keki Latte was just perfect too. Served in Japanese crockery!Will be back for more.

The only branch where you can get the famous soufflé style Japanese pancakes. The version I tried is creme brûlée with caramelized banana. It’s a little heavy especially if you eat it all yourself. It definitely wasn’t as light or fluffy as the ones I’ve had in Japan though. Still a cute cafe/bakery to have breakfast.

Review №13

Went to keki at about 8:00pm with family, the staff were nice but tell us the cheesecake will take about 40 mins to prepare because it wasnt in stock. What? Thats your whole line up 😂.They tell us they had pancakes and we order the chocolate covered one, only to be informed that they were out of chocolate. We just got up and left. This place needs to figure themselves out, truly unacceptable.

If you are craving for fluffy Japanese cheese cake and matcha green tea then come to this place. Lots of cheesecake and character inspired breads.

Review №22

Honestly, the bakery is so much lovely and cozy, the worm welcome with a big smile from the staff gives you the impression that they do care about customers. In fact, they will change the cup of the ice that you have just because you don’t like it.The coffee that they are using is exceptional, before you drink the coffee, you smell the beautiful aroma.The milk cake is a different story, it’s my best. Pouring the rose milk on the fluffy pink cake. Dancing in side it’s on dancing floor. With the flat white coffee, making it the best marriage on the table.Keki Japanese Bakery, you’re awesome.

Review №28

Keki Japanese restaurant.The signature dish here is the cheesecake. Nothing like a traditional European or American cheesecake but much more like a cross between a soft sponge cake and a flan. They have two kinds, plain and chocolate. The plain has a custardy taste and is light and soft on the inside. The chocolate one is almost like a fondant au chocolat without the hot molten chocolate centre.The cheese tarts come 3 per portion, and are best eaten hot.They also have several pastry items in display as well as a few breakfast dishes on the ipad menu from which i tried the Hokkaido toast with homemade jam, maple syrup and ice cream.  Its almost like a canadian french toast. I loved the fresh berries.I have tried every item i have photographed, and i must admit to having enjoyed every single one. Just make sure they serve them warm.The coffee selection seems interesting, though i must admit having tried  only the hot Keki latte, as it was  recommended by a member of staff. its just like an normal very tasty  latte but sweet. You can have it cold as well, maybe next time .If youre looking for an alternative to the classic coffee morning then i recommend you try Keki .

Review №37

- Food: tried their cheesecake at the other location and loved it. This location offers wider selection. My favorite (other than the cheesecake) will be the egg tart. The coffee options are really interesting too. The only thing that got me wondering is the fact that they dont serve tea. I find it fascinating that a dessert place with Japanese concept does not serve tea.And if you dont mind waiting 15 minutes, you can order Japanese pancake which is not on display.- Service: everybody are really friendly and helpful. They seem very enthusiastic about the food and it shows. They also clean your table super fast so your table is always Instagram ready lol.- Line: we came on Saturday evening and the line was not bad. There were two patron in line in front of us but the line move really quickly.- Ambiance: every corner of this place is Instagramable. You can point your camera anywhere and it will look awesome. The place has a minimalist Japanese decor with plenty of natural light from the window and pretty lighting at night.- Restroom: no restroom. So make sure you dont drink too much. And definitely cant hang out too long.

Extremely disappointed by the service. Lady named Cha lacks common sense which is essential for offering great customer service/experience. I walked in with my son and asked for table for 3, she immediately informed there are no tables left. However, one individual who walked in after me was given the table immediately which could have easily accommodated 3 of us. Once again--extremely disappointed!!

Our family of four came early on Saturday morning, around 10. Service was great, breskfast delicious & portions were good. Coffee isn’t amazing so we ordered ours from Joud Cafe just next door. Can see as Keki is getting busier they may require more staff to cope with the customer volume. From our experience we would love to come back.

Visited store 10.10.2020, 4 pmasked for shokupan which is in the menushop staff answered that its for the breakfastafter discussion, we were shown the bread from the kitchenspoked with the managerwere told that its not fresh, for the next branch,ect.. although we told that we are ok with itbut still, we were not given the bread ..manager was gonna call in the eveningafter 4 days of silence AND bad review in google, the manager appearedand told that because of the lack of the special Japanese flour (which they still claim to await from Japan) they cant sell the bread (which they are still selling to people in the branches).so, in the end, we were told that maybe in 1 week they will try to find special flour in Dubai, even if they seem to sell everything without it.extremely disappointed with this experience.

Review №76

The place was cute. The food and coffee was great. The only problem I had was with the server. I ordered flat white with two shots. He gave me a look with disbelief, and repeatedly asking me if I was certain that I want two shots for my coffee. I find that already uncomfortable to begin with. We chose to sit outside. I ordered one egg, scrambled, as a side dish, along with full order of Japanese pancakes. He brought out a full order of scramble eggs with croissant. I took it, didnt send it back because there might be some miscommunications on both of our parts. The one egg side dish is not in the menu but I should have confirmed with him if he understands what I actually want. A little bit annoyed though.At the end of the meal, we exchanged ideas about cats and dogs, he said that he hate cats but he love dogs. So I said I love Pomeranians. He said he hate Pomeranians but prefer Pit bulls. At one point, a stray cat got near him, he chased the stray cat away in a menacing way. I know that this part has nothing to do with the restaurant review, but to be honest, I dont want to come back. It might sound silly to many, but I dont like people who are not kind to animals. I visited Turkey, and every restaurants are so kind to cats and dogs. Probably its not a thing here.

A very unique place.My children really enjoyed it.We tried some of their desserts. The deserts we tried were decent/ average but very well presented. I have to say the their staff is very friendly and helpful. Service was excellent.Finding a parking was a bit challenging, but it was a Thursday night.Id definitely go again to try their breakfast and coffee.

Well, when I first saw this cafe from the outside I really liked the simplicity that it radiated. After entering the coffee shop, I felt like the environment was very cozy and had a Japanese feeling to it. The food was pretty diverse to say the least. There was a lot of pastries, and most of them tasted nice. In general, this cafè is pretty amazing.
