“ The fluffy pancakes really are worth the hype! They take a minute to make so just make sure to go when you have some time. The workers are so kind and the spot is very cute. I love the decor. The other baked good were delicious as well and very adorable. ”
“ soooo cute! the entire establishment screams cute - there was even a little sitting room near the window for optimal sunshine and treat eating. unfortunately some of the items on the menu weren't available, so i opted for a vanilla bean panna cotta in the shape of a bunny!! and it came with sauces, i picked dark chocolate although ube sounded divine. the panna cotta was so good, perfectly sweet and accented well with berries. i don't know her name, but the woman helping me was so sweet, she apologized profusely for items not on the menu but took time to show me what else was good. ”
“ The strawberry matcha crepe cake was very delicious and I would highly recommend it. The crepe was soft and the layers were my favorite ”
“ Phenomenal vibes at Doki Doki. I got two fluffy pancakes one was Dubai chocolate and the other was brown butter caramel. We sat across from the Levi Ackerman and Gojo sensei posters. I enjoyed looking longingly into their eyes in between bites of the most scrumptious pancakes I'd ever eaten. The people running the place are awesome too! Truly wizards of their craft. ”
“ Cute little dessert place in Salt Lake City! There are a good amount of choices and it's not overly sweet. I liked all the choices that we got! A must try in Salt Lake City! ”
“ If you have a super sweet tooth like we do, this place will definitely crush all forms of dessert cravings you will have. All flavors from chocolate, nutella, sweet strawberries, or lightly sour passion fruit flavors(crepe cake), this place is the spot to go. Did I mention they have the famous super fluffy Japanese soufflé pancakes? Their staff here we have to mention are very kind and helpful with any question you have. Thomas was very clear of what every dessert we had and was very knowledgable of what everything was. Doki Doki has a very small and "homely" typical asian restaurant vibe to it. It's nice and bright inside and gives a very welcoming vibe with great asian decor and a coin toy machine! Will recommend and hope to return soon! ”
“ Cute little Asian cafe in SLC. I chose this place because I saw they had a lot of Corgi decor. As a proud father of two Corgis, how could I not visit them? The service is at the counter here. You order and they bring it to you. It wasn't super fast but it wasn't slow either! We were in good company so no complaints there. Their selection is interesting. I do wish they had red bean taiyaki. The tiramisu is not to sweet; perfect in my opinion. The taiyaki was also very fluffy and tasty. I highly recommend Doki Doki and a night lite dessert option! ”
“ Visited Doki Doki around 1:15 pm on Thursday and there wasn't anyone there at the time. We were able to order right away, but did take around 8-10 minutes to get the order. For the interior, there were plenty of seats available to accommodate big parties. I felt a very cozy vibe from the decor throughout store. The staff was very friendly and helped pick something to order. In this case, we got the Taiyaki Waffle. This was with the vanilla ice cream, custard filling, biscoff cookies, and strawberry. It was good, sweet, and refreshing. This was perfect on a hot day! ”
“ (Sorry for the bad photos) We came 15 mins before closing and had to takeout our treats! I haven't been here in months, but I love this place. I can assure you that the crepe cakes aren't like anything you've ever had before: light, fresh, filling, not too sweet. The passion fruit one is a favorite amongst me and my siblings! I pretty much only come for these crepe cakes, everything else is good but they're not the star of the place haha. I'm only taking away a star, because the price of these crepe cake slices has gone up a lot. I love them, but $11 for a slice is a bit much! ”
