best option for pancakes!. this place is fantastic if you're in the mood for some flap jacks. i was excited to find out about this place on here and to see they made sourdough pancakes, just like they made in the old days. it's hard to find those around here. i liked all the options listed online, but unfortunately the coconut pancakes are not offered here, which is a real bummer since they sounded amazing. my wife got the hawaiian pancakes (crushed pineapple w/ tropical syrup, which was largely made of tangerine juice concentrate) and i had the sourdough w/ the regular syrup. i'm normally a goetta andeggswith potatoes and dry toast kinda guy (b/c most breakfast meats are too fattening and gristly for my taste) but the wafting smell of breakfast in this place made me decide to order something on the side for a change - 4 sausage links and an over medium egg. the egg was covered in oil, but cooked well. slightly rubbery, but forgivable. the links were sausage links. i don't know why i ordered them since i don't like them. they were greasy as expected and fine, but holy overinflated prices, batman. $1.50 for one egg and $3.50 for 4 sausage links?!?!?! what the hell is that? i can get a dozeneggsand a pound of sausage for that. twoeggswere $2.50. wtf, oph? at least i won't order that again. the point being the side item traditional breakfast fare is not that great and overpriced. the decaf coffee was oily and slightly bitter, but ok for one cup or less. anymore and i'd probably get sick.
now that that's out of the way, back to the cakes. for $7 i got 8 sourdough pancakes. that's a much better deal i think. my wife got 5 or 6 (hers were thicker). it's clear the emphasis here is the pancakes, and with so many great options why choose anything else. her hawaiian pancakes were sweet and full of citrus flavor from the tropical syrup. a good combination. mine were sow-er! very sour and hands down some of the absolute best pancakes i have ever had in my life. the syrup had a good maple taste, but could have been stronger for me, but i really liked that it was thinner. most syrup is to thick and full of sugar. theirs is sweet and thinner (be careful - it will run as you pour it), which is great b/c it will actually absorb into the pancakes instead of just sitting on top of them. i had enough pancakes to take half home. it took the girl about 10-15 minutes to come back with a box (i started to wonder if they were making a box from scratch) but she was nice and the rest of the service was fine. the wait wasn't bad at 1:30 on a saturday, but i bet it's hell in the mornings. either way, i'll make the half hour drive and go back again. probably in a few weeks.
