Ame's Japanese Kissaten

Driven by our eagerness to try Japanese pancakes, we decided to check out this two-story spot. The ordering process is sequential: you place your order in the first-floor kitchen/staff area, before heading up to the second floor for seating. However, the dining area is incredibly cramped. Seating is limited to just 10 high stools arranged in an L-shape along a ledge facing the glass windows. If the space is at full capacity, it can feel quite claustrophobic. We started with the Chocolate Mousse Kiseki Pancake. It arrived drenched in a generous amount of chocolate syrup and was beautifully plated with thin slices of kiwi, a couple of strawberries, and two small scoops of chocolate mousse. The pancake itself was wonderfully soft and light on the palate. Next, we moved on to the Mango Mochi Ice Cream. The portion size was remarkably small (for the price). Because this was our first time experiencing mochi ice cream, we found it a bit difficult to fully catch the flavor on the first try. To get a better understanding of the taste, we decided to order two more flavors: Chocolate Nutella and Strawberry Cheesecake mochi. Texture-wise, the ice cream is encased in a distinctly stretchy, chewy outer layer made from rice flour. Mochi ice cream is definitely an acquired taste and might not be everyone's cup of tea. That said, if you've never had it before, it's a unique novelty that is well worth trying at least once.

Small and cozy ambience that feels like your personal space. Staff is friendly and polite. The cafe lives upto its hype. Tried their kiseki pancakes and fell in love with the first bite. Matcha and mochi were exceptional and their corn & cheese shokupan toast is heaven. Little complimentary fortune cookies at the end. Pre booking is a must for hassle free dine-in. Definitely worth revisiting.

The mochi were really good! We tried Nutella and chocolate brownie flavors and both were yum. Berry Yuzu lemonade was good. Seating is limited, and there's a narrow staircase, so people with mobility issues would find it inconvenient. Would love to try more flavors next time.

Expectation vs Reality: The menu visuals are highly misleading. The Banana Milk Iced Matcha Latte and The Strawberry Matcha Latte looked nothing like what was shown (missing fresh fruit toppings), and this wasn’t communicated upfront. For a place at this price point, that’s not acceptable. Food-wise, there were no chicken options available despite being on the menu. We ordered the Togarashi Corn & Cheese Shokupan Toast, Igirisu Style Pancakes but it was extremely salty and sour, couldn’t finish it. We gave feedback, but nothing was done. The biggest letdown was the desserts. We took away Matcha Mochi Ice Cream and Daifuku, but the ice cream mochis had completely melted by the time we reached home. No ice pack or proper packaging was provided, which shows a lack of basic consideration—especially given the cost. We didn’t even feel like taking food pics. Overall, very overpriced for what you get. Great concept, but poor execution and not worth the hype or the money.

Ame’s Japanese Kissaten is such a hidden gem in Indiranagar! 🌸✨ The ambiance is cozy, aesthetic, and gives you real Japanese café vibes – especially with the cherry blossom tree inside. I tried their matcha latte, and it was absolutely amazing – smooth, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. The jiggly soufflé pancakes were so soft and fluffy, they literally melted in my mouth. And the mochi ice cream was unique and delicious – chewy on the outside with creamy ice cream inside. The staff is friendly, the service is great, and every item feels thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommend this place if you want to experience authentic Japanese desserts and drinks right here in Bengaluru. Definitely coming back! 💚🍵🍡

Sucha cozy lill place with niche japanese delicacies like Mochi 🤤 & Matcha.. some really yummmm Savory pancakes that pairs well with the sweetness of the bread. Oh there Mochi is the softest & authentic and freshly assembled on order. Loved the everything about this place. 💜

The mochis were brilliant but the cafe is too small and does not have too many snacking options. Mostly matcha and mochi... Priced very high... Rating Mochi - 5 Toast - 1 Service - 2 Ambience - 3 (pintresty place but too small )

They very quick with making mochis (absolutely amazing). You might have to wait a bit for the pancakes though but they are so filling and fluffy that it's totally worth it. The decor is also very cute.

Didn’t know what to expect from this place and it surprised me! Small but cozy From Matcha to mochi ice creams! Unique flavours with great quality ingredients. Loved their lotus biscoff mochi ice cream. Would love to visit again to try their matcha.

I absolutely loved this place! They've really nailed authentic Japanese flavors🍡🌸. Aesthetic place with a peaceful Japanese vibe🌿✨️. Ame's Japanese Kissaten gives such a calm and cozy feeling. Perfect spot to chill, click pictures, and enjoy good food😇.

You’ll find really good Japanese pancakes and mochi here. I tried the mango flavor and the chocolate flavor mochi. The texture is a bit unusual because of the sticky rice paste coating, but the chocolate one was better in comparison

A very romance-infused Japanese Mochi experience. Was able to focus on my book for a while even though there were other customers. The staff were kind and hospitable - once they saw I was there to read, they opened the lights up. Which really brightened the space up with warm yellow glow. Chocolate brownie Mochi was delicious and Berry Yuzu Lemonade was strong - had to ask for more sugar syrup. Overall the experience was pleasant and cozy.

Cute, Tiny and cozy Japanese cafe that also happens to be Bangalore’s first Mochi cafe. Covered with pastel, cherry blossom decor., This place is aesthetically pleasant and Pinteresty. There is a limited seating capacity of about 10-12 people hence a best place to visit in groups to have this whole place for yourselves. I would recommend their Strawberry Matcha Latte and Nutella Mochi as the must haves.

I had ordered an assorted box of mochis and an extra mochi, with a free mango mochi offer via Zomato. To be brutally honest, the portion size was abysmal (photo). There was barely half a spoon of ice-cream and to make matters worse, the outer layer was extremely hard and was undercooked and inedible. Overall, a very bad experience. We had to throw away the outer layers (photo). A request for a refund via Zomato was not helpful, and the restaurant didn't pick up calls. I was left with no other choice but to post this. I am not sure how there are so many good reviews, which led to my order as well! Very unfortunate!

Nice cozy place that offers a wide variety of mochi ice creams. We tried their crunchy biscoff mochi which was probably the best! Mango mochi was also very nice. Madagascar vanilla was just okay. Overall loved the experience. The staircase access is a bit narrow, so may be difficult for people with mobility issues. Excellent view from the second floor, great service and delicious ice creams...must try place for desserts!

Great desserts. A bit gooey and best to eat one fully at a go. Can’t be cut into pieces etc.

Oh this place is an incredible desert place. I love mochis and they have such amazing quality mochis.. i think i visited them three times in a span of two weeks and took my friends as well. I particularly love the Chocolate Nutella mochi, its my favourite. Ambience is also very beautiful even though it is a tiny little place💕

Discovered this hidden gem in Bangalore and absolutely loved it! Tried the iced banana matcha latte, classic iced hojicha, and their mixed berry crumble jiggly pancakes — everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The daifuku and strawberry cheesecake mochi were soft, chewy, and full of flavor. Plus, the café’s aesthetic vibe is just perfect for a cozy date or chill hangout. Highly recommend for all matcha and dessert lovers!

We tried mango mochi ice cream and chocolate Nutella mochi… short and sweet. Was it Value for money, well coz of the location I think highly priced. Taste, was okay. Since this was the first time I tried didn’t have any comparison… while it’s such a huge dessert in Japan, for us this was okay. Wouldn’t know if this was authentic or not. For a first try other than price it was decent. Place is very compact but decor is nice. Instagrammable spot for genz… can try once if you are around.

Ames Japanese Kitchen is a charming little place that shines with its soufflé pancakes—light, fluffy, and melt-in-the-mouth—and a variety of ice creams that pair beautifully with them. The menu is focused, the plating is elegant, and the cozy ambience makes it perfect for a sweet escape
