That Waffle Place

This cute eatery whips up some delicious mini Dutch pancakes. You get 12 of them in a box, peeps! We tried the mini pancakes with Nutella and Belgian chocolate which were absolutely divine and cost only INR 172. Some other flavours you can try are pancakes with berry compote, white chocolate & Gems, salted caramel & banana, and classic butter and maple syrup. They also have Waff-Wiches, a combination of sandwich and waffles. Delish!

Westfield Waffles

Craving waffles and pancakes near the beach? These guys also serve cute mini pancakes called poffertjes. There’s The Classic Dutch Treat where the pancakes are dusted with sugar and drizzled with maple syrup. and the Nutella Poffertjes topped with the ever-delicious Nutella. You can even add a scoop of ice cream for an additional INR 30. Psst, they also serve waffles on a stick here!

Crisp Café

This quaint little café in Nungambakkam serves Red Velvet Pancakes (their only flavour of pancakes) all day long. Priced at INR 300, these babies come with cream cheese frosting and maple syrup and end up being a meal of its own. And there’s four pieces, share if you feel like or else, nah, gobble them up all on your own! 

Waffles Thru The Day

Sure they serve your regular blueberry pancakes with whipped cream but there’s also savoury versions at this joint that we’re keen to try. They have pancakes with chicken and poached eggs and sautéed mushrooms, and also a version with prawns, guacamole and pineapple (say what!?). Oh and also the Pancake Suzette — three pancakes drenched in liqueur and orange sauce. We have heard great reviews about their Chocolate Banana Pancake as well. They are priced at INR 149.  So, which one are you trying?

Pantry D'Or

This popular baker serves up classic buttery pancakes with maple syrup and whipped cream and there’s also the English Summer which has berry compote, cream and butter smothered between two orange zest pancake slices. This is sure to start your day with a zing! There’s also versions with oodles of chocolate and banana. They have two outlets in Chennai- in Alwarpet and Chetpet. 

Chamier's Café

We love the food at Chamier’s Café (apart from the lovely ambience) and the pancakes are no different. A tad pricier than other places, but there is something about this place that makes it all worth it. Get American pancakes in strawberry sauce & ice cream, honey & cinnamon, chocolate chips & chocolate sauce, salted caramel and even cheddar and jalapeno! Talk about indulgence.

The Farm

This charming farm that also serves as a shop and café offers all things organic. It’s a lovely spot for breakfast and a drive to OMR (if you live in the city). Their pancakes are soft and fluffy made with in-house batter. You get two pancakes per plate and you can choose anything from Nutella, butter, syrup and even bacon. Yum, yum and yum!

99 Pancakes

99 Pancakes is known for their mini pancakes that come in flavours like KitKat, Banoffee and the regulars like chocolate and red velvet. Holland Pancakes is what they call them and come in sets of twelve and six. It is so simple to just thulp these small ones when compared to cutting the bigger ones, no?
