VHOP in East Point flips vegan pancakes worth waking up early for - Review - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"Ride down Cleveland Avenue in East Point and you’ll spot a cotton candy-pink house that’ll make you slow down like a Bobby Valentino song. And be prepared to make plenty of future stops here because this weekend-only, pick-up kitchen serves the kind of moist, fluffy pancakes to plan your Saturday morning errands around. The family-run establishment serves a couple of other plant-based breakfast items, but they're called the House of Pancakes, and these light and spongey griddle cakes are why you should be here. A stack gets you three pancakes the size of a small frisbee, topped however you’d like—dusted with powdered sugar, piled with jammy strawberries and cream, or draped in sweet blueberry compote. Wait on the small porch for your order, where you might run into a few celebrities (Jermaine Dupri or Tabitha Brown are known fans). The pancakes come out fast, and are passed to you with the kind of smiley service that makes the pink house feel like the right choice for your morning breakfast run. Food Rundown Pancakes This is what you’re here for, so order the pancakes. They are the size of a dinner plate—thick but still airy and pillowy soft enough to sponge up the syrup. photo credit: Tabia S. Lisenbee-Parker Vegan sausage This is a plain Beyond Meat sausage patty that you can pick up at your nearest grocery store. You’re not missing anything. Tofu scramble The tofu is scrambled like eggs and mixed with sautéed onions, peppers, and kale. It’s well-spiced, but the grainy consistency throws it off a bit—it’s not our favorite. Cheesy Potato Casserole Baked potatoes come mashed up and covered in melty housemade vegan cheese sauce with green onions—it’s solid. photo credit: Tabia S. Lisenbee-Parker photo credit: Tabia S.
