On umami & autumn

The sudden arrival of darkening afternoons has speedily been followed by a quick succession of new daily habits. Each of them solely related, in my case, to wardrobe and appetite: swapping my homely birkenstocks for warm socks; putting the BBQ in the shed and pulling out the slow cooker; contemplating if I should still be adding cucumbers to our shopping list etc etc.

To herald in cold weather vibes, we’re super chuffed to have landed the Gingerbread hot chocolate, Pumpkin latte and the Miso pear caramel in all our restaurants. Spice mixes are from the wonderful Chai by Mira; pumpkin puree and espresso are the killer ingredients of the pumpkin latte; and the poached lemon-thyme conference pears are doused in a white miso caramel sauce – packing most flavour types: sweet, salty, umami and a hint of lemon zesty bitterness. In a few weeks, you will also see our first ever pumpkin-pecan-pie Dutch baby – a prelude to Thanksgiving.

On a side note, we’ve been mulling over our menu – which dishes can we confidently call classics and which ones may have run their course? Whilst plotting away at this, we always welcome your input, so never hesitate to email me with your “pancake” thoughts on patricia@wherethepancakesare.com

Last but not least, for parents and grandparents amongst our readers, we’ve listened to your feedback and have made the “build-your-own” children’s pancakes much more versatile with menus starting at £5 including a drink.

Yemi Saka

I had the simple maple and butter pancakes with mocha and my husband had the Canadian banana pancakes with OJ juice in large. The food was tasty. As a personal preference, I'm not sure I'm a fan of buttermilk pancakes🤭 but my husband really loved it. The OJ juice was fresh and cold, 100% recommend this. The man who attended to us was very lovely and there was indoor and outdoor sitting. We paid £39.09 with a service charge of 12.5% included.

Response from the owner: Thanks for the fantastic review, Yemi! We're thrilled you enjoyed the pancakes and the fresh OJ. It’s great to hear that our staff made your experience even better. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you both again soon for more delicious bites!Best,Ash

J'y suis allée avec mes enfants. Le cadre est agréable mais cela peut vite être bruyant à l'intérieur. Il y a plusieurs espaces dont une mezzanine avec des prises électriques et un extérieur très agréable.

Avneet Sunner

Usually quite good, especially on weekdays when it is quieter can walk in and get a nice outdoor table. My recent experience (with reservation) was not the best.We were sat right by the kitchen, and the door kept swinging. One staff made an effort to stop the door anytime it swung which i appreciate. However, table was also squeezed next to some baby chairs.If you struggle to fit a table there, then it is not a good idea to seat people there. Waitress also dropped maple syrup close to our bags, which I partly assume is also due to her squeezing through to serve our food, with the swinging door behind her.Also, only one unisex bathroom, which caused a queue to form in the middle of the restaurant.!

Response from the owner: Thank you for your feedback, Avneet. We’re glad to hear you usually enjoy your visits. We apologise for the seating arrangement and any inconvenience caused during your recent experience. We appreciate your input!Best,Nicole

My husband and I came all the way from Sheffield to meet my friend from abroad. We had Royals and an all day breakfast as our early dinner. The pancakes were amazing, even the veggies too! We had Loki as our server and he was superb! He was fun and cheerful, washed our tiredness away and we even had a photo together! What a perfect wrap up for the day!

Rochelle Nicholas-Bastien

We all had the simple pancakes and chose our own toppings. This place has been on my list for a while, but the pancakes were not as great as they look.However, the staff were amazing and attentive as soon as we stepped foot in the restaurant. Loki was our server, and generally provided an all round 5* service. He was so lovely, my son (4) went to give him a hug before we left. There was another server who left before we finished (didn’t get her name), but she was fab too, she gave us a Rubix cube and UNO to play with and keep our boy occupied.Thank you to both of you

Response from the owner: Hello Rochelle,Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We're thrilled to hear that you received such warm and attentive service from Loki and the rest of our team — your kind words truly mean a lot to us. It’s especially heartwarming to know your little one felt so comfortable and happy with us!While we're sorry to hear the pancakes didn’t quite meet your expectations, we truly appreciate your honesty. We’re always striving to provide not only the best guest service but also the best pancakes around, and your feedback helps us improve.

Kim Pham

I honestly had the worst start to my day in Battersea Power station but this meal turned it around.I was served by Loki who was kind, and made decent recommendations as the CPC was out of stock for the day. I would have usually felt a little annoyed being notified what I wanted off the menu was unavailable, but I felt like the service warmed me through my experience.He made me and my daughter feel welcome, the meal was decent following a terrible lunch at Tozi. A lot of places feel indirectly unwelcoming to guests with children, so I liked that it felt family friendly.Would recommend for a shopping all day post meal!

Response from the owner: Hello Kim,Thank you for taking the time to write us this lovely feedback!We are so glad that Loki managed to turn your day around into such a positive one!We strive to provide best customer service and take care of ALL OUR GUESTS equally.

Food - averageService - fantasticWe were attended by a charming waiter - Loki - who went the extra mile to make our visit comfortable.

Simon Smith

Great place to meet for a snack and chat. We went for brunch, pancakes of course...It's very popular and therefore v busy. Book if you can, else there's a sitting queue outside. We didn't book and waited 5 mins.We sat outside with the heater on above our heads and soft blankets. Seating outside is split, a row next to front window and a shorter row which was more in the sun. Indoors is over 2 floors and fine on colder days.Food is good and I tried the Dutch pancake and we had a portion of simple pancakes.

Response from the owner: Dear SimonThanks for the great feedback. We're thrilled you enjoyed your brunch and the cozy outdoor setup. We appreciate you highlighting the popularity—reservations definitely help during busy times. Hope to see you again soon for more delicious pancakes! RegardsGoran

I had the Canadian pancakes (cool idea renaming it). The food was very good but I think it could if done with some extra rashers of bacon.

Dropped by this place by chance so didn't really know what to expect, but we were greeted by a friendly waiter called Ash who provided excellent service for the duration of - what turned out to be - a fantastic meal. The vegan options are unreal: the 3-in-1 vegan pancakes themselves were so good, as was the vegan bratwurst with maple syrup topping and the Buddha pancake. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and atmosphere, but Ash made the visit extra special. Would heartily recommend.

Response from the owner: Thanks, Alex! We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic experience with us. Ash will be delighted to know he made your visit special.

Great vegan options of the pancakes menu both for adults and kids. We had a toddler with us and got a high chair and a colour pencil case with an Easter colour sheet for our little one. It's was very busy! But we were seated quite quickly. We had to wait a bit for the food (at least when you have a toddler it seemed long) and my friend got served a non vegan dish by miatake, but they made up for it by giving her a free drink. The service was good. I especially liked the waitress who explained how some of the dishes could be made vegan and how the dish would change. The music was a bit loud and a lot of people talking in a small space makes noise, but lovely people we encountered there.

Response from the owner: Thanks for your detailed feedback, Anne! We're glad you enjoyed our vegan pancake options and the kid-friendly touches. We appreciate your patience during the busy times and are sorry about the mix-up with your friend's order. Your insights about the atmosphere are valuable, and we hope to see you again soon!

We had a great time at Where the Pancakes are in Fitzrovia. We got a good table and were served quickly, despite the restaurant being very busy! Our server Diana was brilliant. She gave us some good tips, was very attentive to my 2 children and what they wanted to drink and eat and went the extra mile to make my wife, who's birthday it was feel very special. She made a request with the chef to let me try some alternative pancakes as part of my order too. The pancakes were very well made. The flavour, warmth and texture was spot on. The bacon was quite tough and some bits were very chewy, I would have preferred them to be crispy. We also had the Cornflake chicken with Hollandaise sauce, that was REALLY good. I wish we had an extra pancake with that one. One little niggle I had was that I ordered a breakfast tea which arrives in a nice pot with a very nice black cup, but because the cup is black, it is difficult to see the strength of the tea brew, which is how I usually check if it has brewed enough before pouring a whole cup. We were also gifted some pancake mix at the end to say happy birthday! Overall, a really good experience and look forward to visiting again.

Response from the owner: Hi Dalsmin, thank you so much for leaving such a lovely review about Diana, we are super pleased to hear it and I will make sure it's passed on to her. It's a really interesting note about the black coffee cup and something we haven't considered before, I will make a note to discuss this with the Founder and it's a great comment.

We went because it serves all day breakfast. As a pancake lover, I had high expectations. I got the English breakfast option which looked delicious, though the sausage was lacking in taste and the main event, the pancakes were a let down. I opted for the standard buttermilk pancakes which were way too salty, I ended up leaving one behind! I was disappointed. Service and location are great.

Really enjoyed the food. Service was fantastic and really attentive to your needs! Our waitress was fantastic, she asked if my eggs were ok and if they needed to be cooked on the other side…🤩Will definitely be back again for the 3 in 1 pancakes, hopefully they can be modified due to not being able to eat certain ingredients.

Response from the owner: Dee, we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience! It's great to know our team provided attentive service. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!Best wishes,Nicole

Daniel Becker

I ate here with a group and those who ate enjoyed their meals. However, I have a peanut allergy and was informed by the manager that they wouldn't serve me unless I was "okay with cross-contamination". This is disappointing. Allergies are poorly catered for here. I had a coffee and ate elsewhere.

Response from the owner: Dear Daniel,Thank you so much for your feedback!We are happy to hear that your party enjoyed their meals.We understand the frustration with the allergy issue however due to nature of our kitchen the risk of cross contamination of nuts, gluten, dairy & egg is high and we would not advise those with severe allergy to these to dine with us.As much as we would love for everyone to try our delicious dishes we care for our guests health first.Best Wishes,NataliaAssistant Manager

Eddy and the chef made sure they meet those requirements so we can enjoy worry free our meal.Thank you guys it’s all well appreciated ☺️

Nicholas Riley

Come here every year around pancake day and bring my team - they handled a booking of 20 really well, all the food came out at the same time which is impressive for so many peopleThe pancakes are thick and fluffy, if I was being picky I'd say the bacon could be crispier and id like the blueberries cooked in my pancake.The flat white is more like a mini latte, but that's not unusual in London

Response from the owner: Hey Nicolas ,thanks for the great feedback, Nicholas! We're thrilled to hear your team enjoyed their pancake day with us. Your suggestions on the bacon and blueberries are noted for future improvements. We appreciate your insights and look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best Wishes Ross.B General Manager

Atiya Davids

Delicious pancakes, perfect for breakfast. Not too sweet- you finish the meal full and satisfied, but not feeling sick. I love that there are vegan options. I ordered the vegan Hummingbird pancake. The coconut cream was lovely and the lime sauce was unique. The pomegranate and coconut chips were a nice touch. The texture of the pancake was lovely and light, not heavy at all. The iced vanilla matcha oat latte was lovely too. Very fast service with friendly waiters. Eddie and Nia were great.

Response from the owner: Atiya, thank you for your fantastic review. We're thrilled you enjoyed our vegan Hummingbird pancake and iced vanilla matcha oat latte. It's wonderful to hear that Eddie and Nia made your experience even better. We can't wait to welcome you back for more delicious meals. Best Wishes Ross . B General Manager

I was advised not to eat here if I have celiac b/c the chance of cross contamination was high. We had come for the GF pancakes, but I instead ended up eating a granola bar from my bag while my non-celiac wife ate some. She said her food was good though.

Response from the owner: Thanks for sharing your experience, Kelly. We take food safety seriously and appreciate your feedback about gluten-free options. We're glad your wife enjoyed her meal! We continuously work to improve our offerings and hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future.Best Wishes Ross. BGeneral Manager
