   A Hidden Gem for Breakfast! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pancake, a cute restaurant with a lounge-like atmosphere that includes a bar. From the moment I stepped inside, I could tell this place was something special. It feels like a bit of a hidden secret—there wasn’t a big crowd, which added to its charm. The food? Absolutely amazing. The presentation was top-notch, and every dish looked as good as it tasted. You can tell the kitchen puts effort into every plate. I was especially impressed by how reasonably priced everything was—quite a surprise in today’s economy, where dining out often feels expensive. The service was another highlight. From the bartender to the waitstaff, everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and supportive. They made me feel welcome and ensured I had a great experience. If you’re looking for a new breakfast spot, Pancake is the place to try. It’s a cozy, relaxed atmosphere with delicious food and great service. I know I’ll definitely be returning soon. Highly recommended!

   The breakfast burger was amazing. We showed fairly early and the staff was extremely friendly but the overall service felt slow, especially for a restaurant that was empty when we arrived.

   Great secret for breakfast. We had a booth at 10 AM on a sunday, the food was excellent, and the prices were quite modest. There was relatively few people there, instead of the usual 1 hour wait for breakfast on Sunday mornings. Will be back.

   Food is excellent. It took a bit to wait for the food but if you’re not that hungry it’s ok but if you’re definitely hungry you might have to wait but it’s worth it

   The service team seemed to be overwhelmed. It took forever to get the order taken then it took a long time to get the food. When we got the food, it was cold. I would have sent it back but I was on a tight schedule. Seemed to be the type of place with the mentality that we were lucky to be there instead of valuing the patronage.

   Pancake is a part of Cali Chili, therefore, a little hard to find. The aesthetic of the place is gorgeous. It’s clean and kept very well. It’s small, so I do recommend making a reservation. My kids ordered the chocolate pancakes, that were served so very aesthetically pleasing with berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar. The taste was incredible. You can tell that quality ingredients were being used to whip up the food. I tried the blintzes, which were super delicious, stuffed with sweet cream, berry compote and bananas. My husband had the biscuits and gravy, which was one of the best biscuits and gravy I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place for breakfast. Will have to come back for lunch or dinner to try the Cali Chili menu.

   LOVE this place, a hidden gem. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 star is that sometimes service is a little slow but other than that, food is always superb, staff is nice and friendly and prices are such a deal compared to anywhere else around

   We’ll be back. Nothing overly impressive about the location. It is actually another restaurant/bar that renames itself for breakfast so makes it difficult to find. The food was good and nicely presented. I had the avocado toast (first time) and it had a nice sweet taste from a marmalade that was spread on the toast. There were several interesting items that we would have liked to try, the reason we’ll be back, and hope they are as flavorful as what we had. The prices were decent and the service was good.

   I had a reservation for Sunday at 10am. Got seated right away. Twenty plus minutes later I find out the rest of my party can’t make it (4 other people). The crew didn’t move me to another table. I had three servers helping me, and all were really nice and friendly. I ordered the red velvet waffles and side of bacon (I think 5 or 6 pieces). The waffle tasted really good, but the texture wasn’t quite as night. It was kind of cakey and breaks apart inside. I’d ordered it again though for the taste. Would come back and try their other stuff.
