We pulled into the parking lot of The Original Pancake House in Coral Springs, Florida at around 9:30 on a Sunday morning. The parking lot wasn’t packed but it was definitely crowded. The waiting area was packed and I began to worry about just how long our wait might be. I was worrying needlessly, less than 5 minutes later we were on our way to a booth.
The menu at The Original Pancake House is a spiral bound, laminated pages type of thing with lots of pictures and even more advertisements for area establishments. That’s not something I see very often. Coffee was brought immediately, and a pretty nice cup of coffee it was. After a lot of back and forth about what I would order or she would order or we would order, several items were eliminated due to the 20 minute prep time caution next to them.
The waitstaff was incredibly friendly and incredibly quick. The kitchen was busy so there was indeed a wait for the food but the coffee flowed and we had a newspaper to entertain us.
The mandarin crepes were pretty interesting. I’m not a fan of crepes but these sounded particularly good and I’m glad we ordered them to share. I ordered the original breakfast burrito and was pleasantly surprised with two breakfast burritos in a sun-dried tomato wrap. The food wasn’t quite as hot as it could have been but it was fine. And, it was good. It’s rare to find a breakfast burrito without meat and asking for the meat to be left out invariably gets you a burrito with meat in it anyway. TW ordered the Huevos Rancheros which were very hot and included a very large pan of vegetables. It was a pretty dish and was served with pancakes on the side.
We had a very nice breakfast; good coffee, good food, good waitstaff.

Hmm mandarin crepe…intersting. But I bet it’s not as good my favourite strawberry custard crepes from Coras. mmmmmmmmmmm
mmmmm.. great ambiance for a pancake house, sounds exactly what a person could want to start a lovely day! The food sounds yummy too!!!
It sounds like a lot of food!
Monkey – I don’t like crepes so I’m thinking I wouldn’t try your favorite crepes.
Kim – It was a good way to start the day. That day in particular.
RE – It was a lot of food, particularly for “us”. I was stuffed and what’s worse(?) is we went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner that evening. I wonder why some people accuse me of not eating…
That would be a lot of food for me, and yes, I wondered about that… surely you didn’t eat it all?
Did it bother you?
