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!

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?
