Roble

Welcome to Roble, a delightful café nestled in the heart of Oyama, Tochigi, Japan. This charming pancake specialty shop is located on the second floor of TSUTAYA Roble, just a stone’s throw from the station, making it an accessible haven for both locals and travelers alike.

Roble opened its doors in 2018 and has since become a beloved spot for those craving fluffy, delectable pancakes crafted from locally sourced ingredients. As you step inside, a cozy ambiance greets you, perfect for unwinding with friends or savoring a quiet moment by yourself. The café offers a range of both sweet and savory pancake options, each designed to tantalize your taste buds.

One of the highlights is their signature fluffy soufflé pancakes, which have earned rave reviews for their heavenly texture. Customer 'Yuji Watanabe' described the experience beautifully, mentioning the perfect balance of flavors with a touch of cocoa powder, crisp nuts, and a drizzle of rich maple syrup paired with slightly salted whipped cream. Every bite is an irresistible reminder of why pancakes can be both a dessert and a substantial meal.

For fruit lovers, the Tochigi strawberry pancake is a must-try, laden with ripe strawberries that complement the rich flavor of the eggs used in the batter. As customer 'ケーイチロー' mentioned, the smooth, fluffy texture topped with sweet cream and vanilla ice cream creates a lovely harmony of flavors. The atmosphere encourages you to linger, whether it's enjoying a pot of tea (which is served for refills at half price) or perhaps reading a book from the TSUTAYA next door while you savor your meal.

If you find yourself at Roble, come prepared for a casual dining experience where you place your order and may choose your seat freely, enhancing the laid-back vibe of the café. While there has been talk of renovations in 2028, make sure to indulge in this gem sooner rather than later! Customer 'めぐ' emphasizes the ability to enjoy these pancakes with an accommodating portion size that won’t overwhelm even those who aren't fond of overly sweet desserts.

So whether you’re seeking a cozy spot to catch up with friends, a quiet place to enjoy a moment of solitude, or just a passionate love for pancakes, Roble awaits with open arms and a delicious menu that promises to delight. Don't miss out on this pancake paradise during your next visit to Oyama!
