Wow!! Just finished our amazing breakfast here! We did not have a reservation, but were seated promptly and had superb service. We started with a mimosa carafe. Delicious! I ordered pancakes with blueberries and bacon, my daughter ordered sea-salt caramel marshmallow pancakes with bananas. Wow! Both of our plates were clean when we finished, and the mimosa carafe was empty as well! Ambiance = awesome as well. All around it was a fabulous breakfast for our last day in London! Definitely recommend!! read more

We arrived in London early in the morning and needed to kill some time before we could get into our Airbnb. This place was around the block from where we going to stay. The staff was very attentive and our food was delicious. We had a side of breakfast sausage and shared an offering for people who didn't want pancakes. It had a polenta corn "pancake" with guacamole, arugula and preserved lemon. Delicious! We also enjoyed a very tasty cappuccino and an American coffee. There was a larger group at the table beside us. They loved their pancake dishes. The bacon looked fantastic.....next time. Oh, no! I forgot to take a photo. read more

A small restaurant on a side alleyway with limited seating inside and alfresco seating outside. I'm not even a pancake super fan, but had to try the Royal. It was two slightly sour buttermilk pancakes, streaky bacon, two deep orange colored yolk poached eggs, tarragon, asparagus and I had the Hollandaise on the side. The service was fine, only because my Earl Grey tea took a while to arrive. But I won't hold it against them for this review. Definitely worth a try! read more

We stopped by as this was quite close to our hotel. It wasn't busy at all, so we got a seat quickly and ordered some drinks. I got a margarita, served with lukewarm with a few pieces of ice. I have to assume it was not made fresh or it was shaken without ice? Either way, simply not how cocktails are served, had to ask twice for more ice. I got the simple cakes plus a breakfast sausage and corn fritter. Sausage was very yum, but pancakes were a bit dry, and not as fluffy as I am used to. My partner got a sweet pancake choice with a bunch of fruit on top he enjoyed though. So some fruit and whipped cream can make any better. read more

Pro-tip: avoid the gimmicky specialty pancakes and you should be fine. Remember, sometimes Less is more . Ordered a specialty 'sweet pancake.' I stick to my rule of never ordering pancakes with chocolate or Nutella, so I ordered the Recovery pancakes. Recovery pancake is a combination of natures granola snacks, banana and pancake rolled into one. Served with two pancakes, for the price , I was expecting at least three. But that wasn't the issue. The issue was the granola almond and apricot bits were too overpowering, I found my self scraping it off, hoping I can maybe just taste the plain buttermilk pancakes dressed up. However, even the pancakes wrapped around an internal banana, so there was no escaping the sweetened dish. It wasn't bad, but it was too top-heavy for my liking. Its always a good idea to Judge a pizza on plain cheese , just like it's proper to judge a pancake on plain buttermilk read more

We had a good time at WTPA. My Dutch Baby was especially good (cheddar, goats cheese, parmesan crisps,roasted thyme & rosemary. Rocket, kale, red onion & fennel salad, lemon & olive oil dressing). Much lighter and fluffier than I had anticipated. Pair it with an almond-maple old fashioned, and you've really got something. read more

Ding! You have absolutely arrived 'where the pancakes are'! And dare I say the best pancakes I had during my visit to London! I stopped here during a weekday for breakfast and was extremely satisfied with my experience from the service to the food! Due to it being a weekday, I was greeted with a friendly face and sat immediately (no wait) by the window that opened up to their patio. On a late summer morning this seat was perfect. Though, it is extremely modern yet quaint inside so on a fall/winter day you wont be disappointed in their main dining area. At this location they also had a spacious upstairs with additional seating. The service I received was awesome! I was solo traveling, and enjoying my slow morning and the waiter was attentive, but gave me enough space to sip my coffee, take in the morning, and just enjoy my meal without being overbearing. The best part of course was the pancakes! While the savory pancakes were tempting, I landed on a sweet option. I absolutely loved the, 'Banana Marshmallow' pancakes. A nice, fluffy, and moist pancake, topped with the freshest bananas, whipped marshmallow cream drizzled in sea salted caramel sauce and garnished with honeycomb. Is your mouth watering? Because mine is as I think back on how amazing the pancake was. Though the pancake was clearly the highlight, I also paired it with sausage, fried egg, and the tastiest ice latte! I highly highly recommend, Where The Pancakes Are! read more

A great breakfast spot that serves a hearty British breakfast. I'm not use to baked beans and grilled tomatoes for breakfast, but it all works together. Their pancakes are quite fluffy yet still have some density to them. read more

This place was adorable! We came here in May while on vacation and the breakfast was delicious. I had an amazing dirty chia latte and it was great, a little sweet and spicy. The breakfast was pretty big and reasonably priced. The location was cute and tucked in, it wasn't too busy on the day we went. They had outdoor seating which was great for the nice day we went. read more

Our first (and only) taste of a an "English Breakfast" and it was.....just okay. Definitely better than I expected but still not great. Traditional English Breakfast isn't for me. I don't know if it's this restaurant specifically or just in general ‍ The other options on the menu are good, though! I ordered the Pulled BBQ Chicken and I have zero complaints. When I come back to London I will definitely check this place out again...I'll just avoid the English Breakfast lol read more

Delicious! Food was great , Service was also excellent . Just wish they served filter/pour over coffee

So, if you're wondering where the pancakes are, let me tell you - they're here. And they're "flippin'" fantastic. This gem nestled in the heart of London is a pancake paradise for the syrup-soaked and the chocolate-drizzled. Since we are not coffee drinkers, we started off with the hot chocolate. It is so good. It's the kind of hot chocolate that's not just hot, but that warms your soul. It's as if someone captured the essence of a cosy winter's evening by the fire, mixed it with rich Belgian chocolate, and served it to you in a cup. It was a cool morning in London and we were dining outside. This is just what we needed. Now, let's flip to the star of the show - the pancakes. A multitude of flavours and styles, each one a fluffy, puffy cloud of pancake perfection. From the traditional Buttermilk stack to the adventurous Dutch Baby, the menu has numerous options from sweet to savory. Whether you're a sweet tooth seeking sanctuary in the Sugared Apple crumble pancake or a savory connoisseur relishing the Smoked Salmon Royale, there's a pancake for every palate, every mood, every dream you've ever had about pancakes (and let's face it, who hasn't dreamt about pancakes?). The location is also a lot of fun. It is tucked away in the hip and happening enclave of Flat Iron Square, 'Where the Pancakes Are' stands out as a haven of pancake pleasure. It's a place where the bustle of London life is swapped for the soft sizzle of batter on the griddle and the murmur of contented pancake munchers. It's cool, it's quirky, and it's got that quintessential London vibe - a perfect setting for a perfect pancake party. This isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience, a celebration of everything pancake. Come for the hot chocolate, stay for the pancakes, and leave with a smile and a satisfied belly. Because 'Where the Pancakes Are' is not just a place, it's a state of mind. And let me tell you, it's a delicious one. Regenerate response read more

Cool little spot under the bridge in the Waterloo area. We wanted breakfast at 1 in the afternoon and this is what we found. We were sat quickly but took about 15 minutes to take our order (honestly it was fine cause we needed a couple minutes to review the menu). Once we ordered, food was received in less then 10 mins! We had the royals with bacon. Egg was very good, not runny, bacon was yummy but a bit too salty and pancakes were a bit pasty but still yummy. We had to order a syrup though for an extra 2.50. Never heard of that before! Wasn't terribly pricey. And they have mimosas! Overall, good spot. read more

I heard this place was a great spot for pancakes, so I gave this spot a try. I tried their main "simple" buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup. I found the pancakes to be pretty sour and lacking the flavor and texture I enjoy in pancakes. I also had the dark hot chocolate and that was just okay - it was very bitter and didn't really have the rich chocolate flavor I was looking for. If I were to visit again, I would probably try one of their savory pancakes since the sour flavor would pair better with meats and vegetables. Despite not being impressed with my order, the service was attentive. read more

I'm sure some people go to other places for breakfast. Those people are WRONG. The food is delicious, and the pancakes are filling without being too big. The variety is lovely and MAJOR bonus points for having nearly every single option available in gluten free. Our waitress was also excellent at checking for allergies and food sensitivities. Indoor/outdoor seating available. Everything tasted fresh and honestly it's a perfect breakfast/ brunch/ lunch spot. I mean, I'd be on board for cocktails and mini pancakes too! My one critique would be that strawberries would be nice to have with the pancakes, but I would come back here 1,000 times. No food pics because I ate it too fast! Maybe next time. read more

Best pancakes EVER! The thoughtfulness in presentation, the flavor is unmatched, plus add the cozy and fun environment. My children (14 & 10) loved every bit!

Amazing place for pancakes lovers like me ! The place is really busy so I recommend to book in advance to guarantee a seat, especially on Sundays. The menu is not too big and offers several yummy options : savory, sweet, or vegan pancakes. I choose the Boulder breakfast with an extra of poached egg with a ginger turmeric latte. The wait to be served was a bit long but it worths it. It was really good and fulfilling. Two pancakes in the plate was plenty enough. I will go back for sure read more

We came here on our first day of vacation in London. This place was 2 minutes walk from our hotel.. and definitely was one of the most memorable meals we had during our visit. From the start when we got greeted at the Entrance the guy was super nice and welcoming! We ordered an item on the menu that our waiter said not available so the owner maybe passed by and said I'll go get the missing ingredient and make it work! Wow! Coffee was great , the pancakes themselves are not sweet but the toppings makes them sweet or savoury . We all enjoyed our meals. The strawberry one was my favourite! read more

I would have given this restaurant five stars, but the service is extremely slow. I enjoyed their Spanish latte. That's the best coffee drink I've tried. I will be searching for a drink like that everywhere I go. Pancakes were delicious as well. read more

I've lived in England for 5 years while serving in the military and back then I never had a proper English Breakfast. Back then, English cuisine wasn't the best, but now I have to say is great! While in London I had to try the English Breakfast and let me tell you, this restaurant makes a really good food. The English Breakfast is big enough to split, so keep that in mind. If you really want a good English Breakfast, then stop here for that meal you won't regret it. read more

I feel like I should begin this review by stating that I am an American. Furthermore, I'm from Las Vegas. I say this because Vegas is a "service oriented" town with amazing restaurants, so to compare this place to what I'm used to might be a bit unfair, but here we go... I looked up other reviews on this place, and they looked like a solid choice. We arrived shortly after the listed opening time. The young lady we were greeted by seemed semi annoyed that we were there (so much for ambiance). My wife and I decided to share the Dutch Babies Apples and Almonds breakfast. As I said at the beginning, we are used to delicious, flavorful food. As we make our way around London, we're learning that sometimes, stereotypes are accurate. What I mean is that Brits aren't known for their culinary skills, and so far, they are living up to that reputation. Where the pancakes are definitely lived up to it. The dish was a bland, flavorless mash-up of mush. It was neither savory nor sweet. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold....it just was. The syrup (you have to ask for) made it possible for us to eat this food. I gave this place at least two stars because they were at least open when they said they were, and the cappuccino was good. Other than that, don't expect this to be like a pancake house you'd find in the U.S. read more

First: they have VEGAN options!! Ate here as a last minute breakfast before visiting the globe theater and it wasnt disappointing. As a California native, the location was a little tough to find but other than that it was great! The cafe is tucked away a little beneath a bridge, but theres plenty of signs to help you. The atmosphere was cute and "hipster"! I got the vegan breakfast and it was so good! Nothing was over powering and it was filling. My mom had the lemon pancakes, it was literally only 2 pancakes but she said it was filling enough. The orange juice is fresh squeezed, and the tea is nice. I would highly recommend!! It is a little expensive considering you dont get much food, so be prepared! read more

I went here on my last trip to the UK in May of 2019. Since I was craving some good pancakes, I decided I would wait the line out. It took me over an hour to be seated, but I was determined to check this place out. I was not disappointed. It was definitely a different twist from just the plain butter and syrup style of America. I quite enjoyed the mix of flavors on these pancakes. If you're ever in the area and have some time, check this place out. Also I wouldn't recommend going alone as it takes longer to be seated compared to small groups. They have limited seating and I don't think they want to give up a big table for a single. Yes, traveling for business is rough sometimes, but very grateful to be able to try places like this. Enjoy read more

Prior to my trip, I looked up places I'd want to dine at so I could gauge my whereabouts. It just so happened that a group of friends suggested this place one day and I got excited, having had a glance at the menu and pictures. Presentation produced a mouth-watering effect. So when I came here with my friends for brunch, we each started off with a savoury dish; I had the pulled beef pastrami (delicious), two ordered the royal and another, the dutch baby. Even though the portions were large and filling, there was still room for dessert. The table thus shared a berry compote pancake. The food was SO GOOD! The weather was warm, so we sat outside on their bench table. Service was quick and friendly. Really enjoyed the food here, given the relaxed atmosphere and company I was with. Will certainly return in the future! read more

We attempted to eat here on 3 different occasions before finally getting a table. All times were walk in's and we didn't have a reservation. You should definitely go in with a reservation. There is a reason why the place is always full. Granted its a small restaurant by American standards but walk-in's have long wait and would mostly be outside seating. They have blankets available but I would rather be inside. It was definitely worth it! Can't wait to go back again! read more

Yummy place!! I did a quick search to brunch places near me and found this cute restaurant! The food is super aesthetic and equally as yummy! FOOD 5/5 Perfect size for the price. Their breakfast item (13£) was filled with eggs, pancakes, beans, mushroom, cherry tomatoes, bacon, and sausage. I also tried their forest berries pancake and it was quite pleasant. The decoration is superrr pretty though. SERVICE 4/5 When I went, it wasn't very busy as it said online that it would usually get which was nice because I got seated quickly. However, the food did take a bit longer to come to my table than expected especially since there weren't that many people at the restaurant. ENVIRONMENT 4/5 Very instagram worthy. Cute interior, it is a bit small so i can see it getting very crowded with long wait times during peak hours. read more
