We did a semi large pick up order today and everyone loved their food. Tower burger (forgot picture) steak skillet, cheese omelet with add ins. As well as side orders of hashbrowns. A little pricey but everything was good and they did not forget anything in our order!! Staff greeted me and handed me the order and was very friendly. Will return in the future.

The coffee’s good, the supplied honey and cream was more than needed (nice). The service was hospitable, inviting, and friendly. Music wasn’t getting me dancing, but it was solid and it’s not a dancing joint so we good. I also like the different breakfast artwork on the walls, honestly gave the place a solid atmosphere overall and something relevant + pretty to look at while eating. Enjoyable to say the least. Only thing I’d change is the fake flowers at the tables to real flowers, but that causes a mess and requires maintenance so understandable + they have prettily drawn flowers on the glass which is a nice touch.

Before some grocery shopping at Woodman’s, my husband and I stopped by Pancake Café for brunch. There was no wait and we were able to enjoy a lovely fall weather in the outdoor patio. The service was very friendly and attentive. I got the chorizo skillet and my husband got the breakfast burrito. He LOVED the breakfast burrito. The skillet was great too with one minor exception: my eggs were overcooked. I asked for over medium and they were definitely more like over hard. They were still good though. I thought the food was good, the service was good, and the prices were fair. Pancake Café is definitely a solid option for a west side brunch!

We stopped here yesterday for the first time. We were highly impressed with the amazing food. Everything was wonderful! They seemed a little under staffed, but we didn’t mind. There’s a reason this place is popular. I highly recommend dining here.
We wish they were opened later, we’re typically night people. We’ll definitely return on a day we’re up early. Best omelets in town, truly!
Sabrina was our server and provided excellent service.

Wonderful cafe with nice service and a better than expected wait time on a busy Sunday morning. Mimis iced coffe was a nice drink to start the day, and the breakfast quesadilla with hash browns was great! Comes with a nice spicy salsa and great portions for the price.

Full disclosure, I did receive a complimentary glass of fresh squeezed oj for leaving this review, however, my options are my own and not influenced by the oj.
We were staying nearby at the AmericINN and tried out Pancake Cafe for breakfast. I got the Eggs Benedict, and my husband got the diced ham and eggs.
The Benedict was one of the best I’ve had. Eggs were perfectly poached, Hollandaise sauce was rich and velvety, and the hashed browns were buttery and delicious.
The diced ham and eggs were done well with the ham mixed into the eggs nicely, however the ham could have used a bit more flavor. Hashed browns were also very good and the pancakes were fine but nothing terribly special.
Overall very pleased with our lunch.

Took almost 1 hour to get served. Waiter seemed to hate her job also sounded like a baby was crying in the kitchen almost the entire time we were here. The lights were off centered could be dangerous to tall people. Baby toys laying on the floor could be a tripping hazard. Can’t tell if it is a nursing home, day care, or a breakfast cafe. All 3 seem to fit in perfectly except the last one.

Sabrina is such a good waitress. Polite, friendly, attentive, and perfectly chipper even though it was 3 minutes after open and I was not. Her attitude helped make my morning easier :). As for the food, chefs kiss. I regret not taking photos before hand. Their eggs are the fluffiest I, 36 F, have ever had in my life. Their house Hollandaise has impeccable silky texture. Chocolate chip waffle was just the right amount of chocolate. The atmosphere is cozy, music on point and the bench French toast booths are just right! 10/10 Will highly recommend and be back!

First time ever in this city and wanted something I can’t find at home and this place didn’t disappoint for what I got chicken and waffles the price was definitely worth the quality of food and amount of food I got. Sabrina appeared to be the only server work on a Thursday morning but was quite enough she was all that was needed and she was on top of everything with 7 tables filled up I didn’t once have to look up and find her if I needed anything she had me covered before I even had to ask

Great service. The portions are larger than normal. If you like chocolate and pancakes, the chocolate chip pancake is great! Great overall dining experience.
