Belly Cake Pancake House

Welcome to Belly Cake Pancake House in Bayside, Queens, our new breakfast home! We ordered the Original Stack, Banana Brûlée pancakes (MY FAVORITE), BEC Brioche, a latte, and hot chocolate, and everything DELIVERED! The pancakes were rich, sweet, and incredibly flavorful. The BEC Brioche was sweet and savory. You can tell they take pride in creative flavor combinations while still keeping that classic fluffy texture. I definitely will return. Side note: No cards for payment, only Cash, Venmo, and Zelle Final Bite: ✅ Flavor ✅ Value ✅Vibes Spice & Sis Sharing the flavor, one post at a time.

I had such a pleasant and enjoyable Brunch at Belly Cake Pancake House. Went around 10 am for brunch with Family, on a weekday so as you can guess, no wait. First off the menu. I felt like i wanted to try everything on the menu. They had a great selection of food and drinks. Drinks ranging from from juice, fresh fruit smoothies, hot teas and coffees, to even warm seasonal cider. I got the Pineapple Vitamin C smoothie which was very refreshing and delicious and the a Hot Raspberry Hibiscus Tea. Family got the Hojicha Tea and Fresh Oj As for the food. I got the BBQ Brisket Sandwich and Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. First off the fries that came with the sandwich was the perfect texture. A Love child of crispy flaky fried outside with soft golden inside. The sandwhich was big even for technically a half sandwich. Two layers of sweet BBQ brisket and slaw melted together with Cheddar cheese stacked between Toasted sourdough rye bread. It was a whole lot of flavors. I was almost tempted to use my fork to eat the sandwhich since the combined juices soaked the bottom bread. Pancakes were 3 stacks, soft, fluffy and tasted just like a cinnamon roll, topped with cream cheese Frosting and had a maple butter syrup on side to add to the goodness 10/10 food 10/10 service 10/10 ambiance Read the signs, Cash Only, no cards, but they do take Venmo and Zelle

Belly Cake has the best pancakes I’ve ever had—fluffy, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. The syrup was amazing and paired so well with the pancakes. I also tried their latte, and it was really good. On top of that, the service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Highly recommend this place. I’ll definitely be back! 🥞☕️

Very good food for the neighborhood. Price is on the higher side so I am giving 4stars otherwise 5stars. FYR, we got two main dishes and two drinks and paid 35per person for brunch. The seasonal pumpkin pancake was very good. Very fluffy and strong hints of pumpkin. Highly recommend. The bbq brisket sandwich was an explosion of flavor. Very good. Decaf Americano was good.

Look at this appetizing Skinny Bella (SK) pancakes with beautifully arranged bananas and berries🤩! The pancakes are crunchy on the edges and fluffy. The syrup has a uniquely flavored taste to it. My husband’s original stack was more moist than my SK. The sausages that he ordered on the side tasted good. He found the coffee cup small but I was content with my hot chocolate.

SWEET ‘N’ SAVORY HEAVEN !! 🔥 I’ve been coming here for years and the food is consistent as always. All my favorite dishes were DELICIOUSS!! The fluffy banana brûlée and blueberry pancakes stacks 🥞 was nicely buttered n savory ‘n’ hearty delights was cool perfectly. Most of all ,they have a large selection of other items on the menu so give me a chance to try everything. I highly recommend if you haven’t try it yet so it’s totally worth it!!!

Belly Cake will not disappoint ! Joe was amazing to accommodate Our large party. Everyone was so happy with their meals and drinks. Will definitely return !

I had a wonderful breakfast at Billy cakes. There are a small restaurant making excellent breakfast food. All of the dishes were excellent, especially the pancake pancakes (Very different from American pancakes, in a good way)

Been wanting to try this brunch place on Bell Boulevard in Queens for awhile! Came on a Saturday afternoon with friends and we got seated right away. The place is known for their pancakes and they have a huge variety! I was debating between the blueberry pancakes or the banana brulee pancakes. I went with the blueberry pancakes and it was delicious! Lots of blueberry inside the pancakes and blueberry compote on top. The pancakes were fluffy and flavorful without being too sweet or overload. My boyfriend and I also shared a salmon eggs benedict on the seasonal menu. It was one of the best salmon eggs benedict I've ever had. The portion was perfect - two decent sized Benedicts with a small salad on the side. The best thing is that the Benedict is not on an English muffin, but a hash brown. The service was great as they came by several times to ask if we were ready to order before we actually ordered. They were also very attentive in refilling our water cups. The place is relatively small so I can see how it gets crowded. There is a restroom in the rear for customers. One final tip is that this place does not accept credit cards - only cash, Venmo or Zelle! Would definitely be back for the salmon eggs Benedict, to try other pancakes, and their drinks as well.

This place was really cute! It's a nice little store with cafe vibes that serves delicious food. We got the vanilla latte to try along with a regular small americano (not depicted). The drinks were okay, but the food is where this place really stood out. We got a side of tater tots to share because I love everything potato and out was definitely the right choice. The tater tots came out nice and hot and had the perfect crunch to it! It was a little hard to eat because it broke apart as we stabbed it hit that wasn't an issue because it just meant that inside the crispy exterior, the interior was still perfectly soft! I got the Strawberry Shortcake Stack which I was a little worried might be too sweet for the morning but the tang of the strawberry syrup paired perfectly with the not too sweet pancakes and whip cream. The only sweet part was really the maple syrup which allowed the pancakes flavor to shine through. My boyfriend got the Big Belly Wrap which was also delicious. I stole a bite and had to contemplate whether or not I wanted to return it to him. There are quite a bit of ingredients inside but all of the flavors went so well together and were married by the flavor of the cheese! The salad was also great! The dressing was very light which I always appreciate because I hate it when my salads just taste like dressing. The service was very quick and the servers were nice as well. All sweet and savory options were really good but I will be back for those tater tots and other items on their menu that I was contemplating on!

After a rough start this family team has the pancakes coming in hot. The place is always packed and has a friendly vibe, staff work hard and the food is on point. So happy to have them in the neighborhood.

This place is my absolute favorite breakfast spot. The staff is incredible so nice so friendly so organized everything is clean and inviting and cozy. The food is top-notch the coffee perfection the pancakes are the best I've ever had 10 out of 10 must check it out.

I loved this place. The vibes are nice the people were nice & even the patrons were nice. We almost walked out because they only take cash & Venmo. One of us remembered we had Venmo so we decided okay we'll try it. Then we walk in they said it was a 20 minute wait. We then again thought if it's worth it & one of the patrons said it absolutely is. So we decided to stay and so happy we did. We had the Big Belly Wrap, The Apple Crumb Pancakes & the Matcha Pancakes. Everything was so good. We would absolutely come back. The owner or manager Joe was so funny and welcoming. I also ordered a matcha latte which was also good. Things to know: Parking in Bayside as you know is a hit or miss. CASH OR VENMO ONLY

I came back for another round. The BEC sandwich is a good classic bacon, egg and cheese if that's what you're craving. The matcha brulee pancake is exactly that except you can pour melted butter on top. I had to order another chicken melt wrap. It was delish! If you come on a weekday morning, it is not busy compared to the weekends of course.

Loved this place so much! The pancakes were light and fluffy, and fruits were fresh, i ordered the skinny Bella and green doctor. It was so yummy! I came here around 7:30 AM and was served right away, there was nice ambience with soothing music, the bathrooms were clean, service was nice. Everything was impressive! Definitely recommend coming here. (They don't take credit card, only Venmo or Zelle)

I just got food delivered from here and they came in great condition. The food tastes good it's packaged well and I would like to go and try their other stuff now . I love when I try something new and it deliverssss ^^

The food was so good. The pancakes where tasty without being to sweet and I love the crunchy corners, the BEC sandwich was fancy, on a brioche bun with caramelized onions, fluffy eggs, and turkey bacon with a nice chipotle mayo that surprisingly went very well with everything. The atmosphere in the restaurant was clean and quaint and also their restroom was very clean. Five stars all around. The server worked the room well, for a busy Friday morning.

Ive been coming here ever since it opened! The staff are very nice and there is plenty of seating! I came on a friday during lunch time and it wasnt that busy at all. We got two drinks and four dishes for 70 dollars. I got the BEC sandwich which is one of my fav things on the menu and the banana pancakes! I would come here everyday if I could! Its worth stopping for and the place is very cute

I was looking for a traditional breakfast place and accidentally found this place. After checking the menu decided to check it out. It's cash or Venmo only. It's a small little place with some seating inside. I was seated right away and handed menus. They have a decent assortment of drinks and interesting breakfast sandwiches. I just wanted some bacon and eggs. After putting in the order along with some ginger lemon tea, I waited. The food came out fairly quickly. It looked pretty. I liked the bread. It wasn't your typical white toast but crusty sour dough bread toasted. The eggs were done right if bland. I guess you have to add your own seasoning. The home fries looked crispy but were soft. The bacon was perfectly crispy. The salad added some color and texture. Overall it was a good breakfast.

Always yummy and fresh food that comes out fast. I love this place and everyone is friendly.

Been meaning to try this spot for quite a while after a friend recommended it when I mentioned wanting pancakes. Took a minute, but am so glad to finally have tried it. It's a small homey spot located between lots of other bustling shops on Bell Blvd. We came here on a weekend afternoon and while the store has a good amount of people already, we didn't have to wait. Note the establishment is accepting just cash and venmo for payment and not card! In short to sum up our visit, it was quite a delicious feast and the staff was very courteous and friendly. We ordered quite a bit between two people and somehow managed to eat 90+% of this (as someone who barely had space in the stomach as a pregnant lady, I surprisingly could not stop eating). We ordered probably enough for 4 people... which included the farmers plate, tater tots, a side of lox, a latte, a soup, and the matcha pancakes. All of the food was quite to my personal liking--felt mostly no frills but delicious. The staff was attentive and refilled our waters quite a few times, so the only small suggestion I'd have is for the to leave bottles of waters on the table so it could be possibly easier for them. Highly recommend this spot and cannot wait to go back again and possibly try other menu items!

My friend recommended to come here for brunch since she has said it was good the last time she came. Her recommendation was on point. We were seated fairly quickly and I ordered their caramel iced cappuccino. It was heavenly; loved the white foam at the top and it had the perfect amount of sweetness with the caramel. We ordered over easy eggs, bacon, avocado, salad and roasted potatoes with a side of pancakes to share. I don't know what part of that plate was my favorite; all the flavors mixed so well and the pancakes were so fluffy. The syrup that they gave was thick and unlike other syrups I had tried before. The roasted potatoes were seasoned so good and I left this place very satisfied. Keep in mind they only take cash or Venmo. Will be returning !

Had some of their new/seasonal menu items. Unfortunately, I only took a pic of the lobster benny. I had the mango stacks, burrata toast, and lobster benny. Everything was amazing.

Matcha brulee pancake - 5/5 - very good. The top is sweet and works well when you eat all 3 layers at once. There's a side of white chocolate which seemed too watery. I didn't think it was necessary. Pancakes were fluffy too. Big belly wrap - 5/5 - very good and savory. Great choice for a filling breakfast! Hojicha Latte - 4/5 - a bit too sweet for my taste. Hojicha flavor is not strong, but it's good enough. Service was slow before only 9am as there were 4 tables with customers and only 1 person working the front. More help came in after 9am. Not recommended if you are in a rush. No parking lot, but we found a spot around the block.

Solid brunch spot with pretty good pricing (cash only!!). HOWEVER, you have to go in there knowing and expecting for the service to be slow. My friends and I came here for a Sunday brunch around 1pm. We put our name/phone number down and were told it was going to be a 20 min wait. We get a call that a table is ready around the 15 min mark. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Once we placed our order, it was around 30-40 min before our food came out. I was warned about the wait time so I didn't mind getting the chance to catch up with my friends but I can imagine the hangryness I would feel if I wasn't aware. Wait time aside, the food was delicious and I can see myself coming back again for their pancakes!

Just loved my experience here! Love the way they make the coffee, the variety of pancakes and everything is very fresh. The staff is very attentive as well. Going back again today!

Best pancakes I've had in a long time, and I've enjoyed some really good ones elsewhere. I tried the cream brûlée pancakes, orange juice with side of ham. Wife went with the classic: eggs over easy potatoes and bacon. All of it was delicious. The pancakes had a perfect fluff, the cream was delicious but never got messy. The seasoning of everything was just right. It's hard to see how pancakes can be so different from place to place, this place proves they can be. Recommend a visit.

Already packed on Sunday at 9am but seating was available and all food came out in about 25 min. They let us know how long it would take when we ordered. Blue belly 8/10 The pancakes are always great, this blue berry version is slightly tart. Cold cream latte 8/10 The cream is thick and sweet, it is an iced drink and the option I picked was vanilla with cinnamon. The other option I think is salted caramel. Ribs and mashed potatoes 7/10 Good portion of meat but nothing unique. Includes salad, eggs. The mashed potato was average.

This place is good for breakfast/brunch. Parking in this area is not that difficult to find just need to park within the local residence. Service was good and just be aware it's cash and Venmo only. Small spot but food is good and the prices are fair. I had the matcha pancakes for the first time they were good and everyone enjoyed their food. The chocolate pancakes were a delight our little kiddo loved them. I had their cafe latte with oat milk it was surprisingly good.

Cute cozy spot for brunch with a couple of tables inside and outside! Remember to bring cash, as it's cash only! Both sweet and savory menu options sound sooo good with many sandwich/wrap options and of course, pancakes! We really enjoyed the Blue Belly which were light, fluffy pancakes with blueberry compote. The farmers plate was also great, especially the home fries!

Super cute small restaurant, excellent brunch spot. Cash only (or venmo). Food is simple but done right. Everything was cooked well and seasoned tastefully. Pancakes were delicious. A tad too sweet for me, but kids loved them. The truffle egg toast (and other toasts) are small portions, so if you're expecting an average american diner portion, then be ready to add on some sides. But given the prices, the portions are very appropriate. I do wish they offered real stainless steel utensils rather than plastic. They also offer some great smoothies and fresh juices. My star rating legend: 5: A+ Worth a special journey (ie. I would go out of my way, maybe even take a flight somewhere just for this; exceptionally amazing) 4: A excellent, a must try, solid place 3: B good; nothing extraordinary, but would definitely go again 2: C personally would never go again (unless invited by someone and I didn't get to pick the place), but I can see how others might find something appealing 1: Fail.  I would never return and recommend no on else goes either.

I came here one year ago. I thought it was the best pancake in NY. But I returned and brought my friends here during Christmas week. I think the taste is not that good as before. The Tiramisu pancake was my favorite, but now is much thinner than before. Christmas tree pancake is cute, but the taste doesn't stand out anymore. Earl Gray Vanilla Latte taste so weird, like medicine. Don't recommend. I like the Grill Chicken Sourdough because the sourdough is very crispy. I sat in front of the Kitchen door. I think that's is the worst spot in the whole store. Staffs walks back and forth from the kitchen to the floor, whenever they open the kitchen door, the smoke came out. When I go home, my whole body smells like a bacon. It's was not a good experience to though, I don't think I'll come back again.

Great tasting food. Great service but you may have to wait a bit, each time we go the place is packed!!

The place is smalled. It was packed. There are only 6 tables. If you go, I would recommend to call ahead. Service: the owner I assume (man) and the waitress are nice. They served us 4 small glass of water. Food. Blue Belly. My daughter didn't like it. I thought it was ok. Definitely better than ihop. Avocado toast: the sandwich is so small. It is like the size of my hand. It reminds me of a old Chinese kung fu movie, that the guy just got a pea on a dish. Farmer plate and skinny belly are decent. We also ordered smoothie and matcha Latte. Matcha Latte is good, but smoothies was overrated. Total bill cost me $80 including tip.

Really enjoyed the matcha brûlée pancakes, it was crunchy on top and the pancakes are moist. Would def recommend the pancakes but not the savory dishes. My partner ordered a sandwich/ toast and it was pretty basic and small portion.

Belly Cake (pancake) is located in a convenient location in the business district in Bayside NY. In fact it's probably the first restaurant after crossing the main road. Stepping inside, I am attracted to the beautiful and attractive decor. The walls are lined with wood panels that reflect the beauty of this restaurant. We were greeted with a warm welcome and the server was very patient. He was attentive and ready to provide quick service. I had pumpkin pancakes with coconut cream and Candy pecans with a syrup maple syrup. The pancakes were really delicious as I do love pumpkin and they were proportioned well and not too big, but the sausages were okay, they were wet and greasy. If you love pancakes, this is your place to dine. I most likely would return to have the other pancake dishes.

This is one of my favorite spots in Bayside! The menu is always unique which makes it hard to choose but so far everything that I have ordered has been delicious! Highly recommend.

Yummy breakfast. Though each dish is made one at a time so don't expect to all eat at once. But the quality of the food is top notch. Great to support small businesses. Chocolate chip and matcha pancakes were great. All the pancake choices seem like they are good so it depends on what you are in the mood for. Cute set up and I see the theme of pigs in the decor. Service was good.

Cash or Venmo only! I wasn't expecting much but the employees were kind and accommodating towards my baby and my party. I don't normally go for pancakes but since it seemed like it was their specialty, my table ended up sharing the blue belly and Nutella pancakes. The pancakes themselves were light and quite good! They came out hot from the kitchen which did mean that they took some time to come out. I also had the beet juice and they made it right on the spot as well. My party enjoyed the meal and noted the generous portion sizes. I only wish they took credit cards!

Pancakes were amazing and service was great! I'm not a big foodie, but I will certainly be coming back.

My husband and I had a great breakfast date at Belly Cake this morning! We were in the area doing some thrift shopping and drove in. Parking wasn't much of an issue at 9AM on a Friday, there were spots right out front as well as ample meter parking down the side streets. We were seated right away and our order was taken very quickly. Our drinks came quickly - a super delicious PBJ smoothie and vanilla iced coffee. A great start to our meal! Food took a bit longer but we didn't mind the wait at all. The interior is really cute and they had some good tunes cranking. The staff was all super friendly. We ordered the Big Belly Wrap and Banana Brûlée pancakes - both of them were SO good. We were pretty blown away at the amazing quality we got for such a good price - the ingredients were fresh, flavor combinations were tasty, and the presentation was A+. One thing to note - they're cash only. We stopped by the no-fee ATM at 7-11 down the street on our way over, not a big deal. Highly recommend this place and we're definitely planning to come back!

I came here with my friend and her mom on a beautiful Saturday morning ~10 am. We took the opportunity to sit outdoors and soak in some sun. The waiter was very patient with us, and always filled our waters. Of course I had to choose the dish with most variety - the farmer's plate and a latte to wake me up. My friend had their signature choc chip pancakes with whipped cream and her mom had the avocado egg white toast. Everything came out after a few minutes; warm and freshly served. It was truly a spectacular morning breakfast/brunch that didn't leave us too full. I would highly recommend.

The food is good. The waiters are so friendly and attentive. I have been here many times and never felt disappointed.

Made a reservation for 11:30, but we showed up about 15 minutes early, and our table was ready, so we were seated immediately. Love that we didn't have to wait. It was busy, and everyone was running around helping all the tables. Joe seated us, and he was really nice. One of the staff took our order, and she was so busy answering peoples questions while she was taking care of us at the same time. We waited as everything was made to order and worth the wait. We all tried all the different stacks, and we got 4 different ones. Everyone was delicious. I loved the tiramisu the best. My daughter loved the banana burlee, which were so yummy, my son got the Nutella stack, and they were very good too. Mom got the special of the day, mango stack those were excellent. Also, the bacon was cooked perfectly, and the home fries are very good, too. We will be back for more delicious food!

It was about a 30-minute walk from my house to Belly Cake. The weather was in the high 80s today. I decided to try Belly Cake for the first time. I was bummed about not being able to customize the S'mores Stacks without chocolate. Instead, I ordered the Blue Belly Stacks. Belly Stacks: Blue Belly Stacks - I am in blueberry heaven! The blueberry stacks topped with warm blueberry compote were delicious. One word: Scrumptious Bookmark this spot to try!

Brought my daughter here for breakfast as I've had my eyes on this place and wanted to try them out for some time. Parking can be a bit tricky if you have patience you will get something. Inside there are not many tables maybe 5 total it's a small place but they are kicking out some good stuff. Service was slow and needs adjusting my review is mainly on the food, although I wasn't thrilled about the service I would return. For drinks I got the wild berry lemonade which has muddled fruit, lemon slices and is refreshing. My daughter got the Decadent hot chocolate which needed sugar and it was much better. I couldn't help but to order the Avocado Toast which is not your typical avocado toast at all. This one has layers of beet puree, scrambled egg, sliced avocado the salmon and fig balsamic drizzle. You do have an option of choosing salmon or prosciutto for topping & I chose the salmon. It was really good and unique my daughter and I really enjoyed it. Next I ordered the Blue belly pancakes for myself which I couldn't resist. They were soft, sweet and topped with a blueberry compote it's a really good choice. The syrup was also good did not taste like regular syrup. For my daughter I got the Nutella Stack which was topped with strawberries, bananas and mascarpone cream with a Nutella drizzle. The mascarpone cream was light, really good. My daughter enjoyed this dish. I couldn't help but to also get the home fries they were cut into squares and fried well. For us this place was great def would come back to try more menu options.

Service was good. Waiter was attentive. Place was clean & fairly quiet. Food came quick. I had the matcha brûlée pancake & it was delicious. Not overly sweet & pancakes were fluffy. Two other dishes were ordered, no complaints from them. They said it was good. It was their second time there.

I was looking forward to coming here because of the great pancake selections. Banana crème brûlée - flavor is mid. Not too sweet. Would say it's abit under sweetness Matcha brûlée- matcha flavor is there but not powerful Farmers plate - potato was crunchy outside and soft on the inside. I would assume they boiled potato first and put in the oven. Bread was toasted nicely. Good texture. Sausage was crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful inside. I'm going to rate here 5/10 for the farmers plate but the pancakes tasted foul because of the flour. The flour tasted strange or off No complaints with the service. Wouldn't say they are attentive but would be there for any requests Ambiance - interior is off, cheap interior and plastic utensils I would come back for the sandwiches but wouldn't go out of my way

I can't rave enough about Belly Cake. It has been my go-to brunch place for a quick bite and I actually appreciate its small and quaint space since I usually come here by myself whenever I do a workout nearby. I wouldn't say that the service is warm and friendly but it is exactly what I expect for a no-frills place where everyone is usually quicky going in and out. Not the type of place for a group setting (and please don't be those kinds of people since seating is limited). Prices are fair, but some menu items do tend to cost a little more if you opt for something a step above a regular item. So far, I've had the banana brulee pancakes and the pumpkin spice pancakes. Both really good--not overwhelmingly puffy stacks like many places emphasize, but definitely filling enough. Haven't had the chance to try the matcha brulee pancakes yet but that will be on my next visit. This place gets crowded very quickly, so make sure you don't come with a large group of people or during peak hours, otherwise, you risk waiting ~30 minutes or get unpleasantly placed in the back--right next to the bathroom. Cash-only place.

Lazy saturday after a work trip, ordered the farmers plate and banana brulee pancakes. The pancakes were surprisingly very fluffy and yummy, not overly sweet and just perfect. The farmers plate was loaded, cooked to perfection and tasty. Def hit the spot! Ill be back!

I love coming here. Always a full house when I come on weekdays afternoon. Inside is homey and comfortable and they used to have a couple of tables outside, maybe when it gets warmer? Seated right away with a pleasant smile. There was 3 of us and we ordered strawberry short stack, truffle egg toast, side of salmon, Philly cheesesteak hero with fries, tropical smoothie, berry lemonade and an iced earl grey tea, came out to be about $80 (not including tip). The food was ordered and came out pretty quickly. Not a crumb left over. Everything was fantastically delicious... the pancakes are so fluffy and not cloyingly sweet, just the right amount of tartness balanced well with the light and airy whipped cream. The bread was crispy with the right amount of chewiness and the fries were delicately fried seemingly without oil as they do not leave that greasy after taste. My 10 yr old is asking when we can go back and try the avocado toast... and another stack... thank you Belly Cake... keep doing what you do!

My kids and I met my best friend here to have a late lunch around 2:30pm on a Thursday. It was rainy and not a lot of people were out so it wasn't a surprise that the place was empty. There seemed to be only one worker at the front, he was very nice and brought high chair for my little one and once we got settled he took our drink order, we decided to only have water. He gave us a few minutes before he came for our main order. We ordered the s'mores, tiramisu, choco coco(not pictured & the original stack(not pictured). The s'mores & choco coco are, as you could guess, super sweet, so of course my kids loved them. The chocolate flavor is rich and delicious. The tiramisu was absolutely amazing. Tiramisu is my all time favorite Italian dessert and these pancakes did not disappoint. I tasted a bite of the original stack from my bestie and they were delicious as well. If you are a purist when it comes to pancakes, the original stack is for you. All in all, very yummy and definitely hits the spot when you're craving pancakes. I love that there's a place like this, where I don't have to go to a big pancake chain to satiate my pancake cravings.

I discovered this place only in December, not expecting it at all to be what it is. We walked into a small cozy place decorated with Christmas decor. The menu was clear and even more exciting with a holiday special menu on the table. The staff welcomed us as we sat down. The choices were impeccable - several pancake options that sounded delectable, sandwiches, and all types of caffeinated drinks, juices, and smoothies. We ordered a banana brulee pancake, 2 egg sandwiches (which I can't remember the name of but it's the first one on the list!), a hojicha latte and a mean green juice. Oh my goodness - the banana pancakes were to die for!! I technically ordered it for my daughter, but being the wonderful person I am, she couldn't finish it so I helped her! It was incredibly fluffy and light in sweetness. Despite there being a layer of custard topped with toasted coconut, it did not feel heavy nor sweet. I could eat all of it alone whereas I could never do so at an American pancake place! You can dip it in their homemade syrup but I felt the pancakes were so delicious that I didn't need to. The sandwiches were hot, delicious and generously full of ingredients. The hojicha latte was strong in hojicha and left a good bitter taste at the end but it showed that they were using good stuff and giving a generous amount. The mean green smoothie was truly mean - I loved the ginger kick that it gave. We felt so healthy after drinking it! I would definitely be back at Belly Cake - oh wait, we already have. :) Highly recommend!

Server was very nice and friendly. We ordered very little since we had somewhere to be so it's not exactly the full experience. I got a platter with sausage. I requested to add avocado($2 add on) but it came out super hard and unripe. The eggs, toast and sausage were good but like any other diner. The ambiance was questionable. It was very quiet and echoey. I prob would come back to try what they're known for rather than random stuff. 3.2/5.0 star experience

Cash only. Cute family run spot. Unique pancake recipes. (Brûlée all the wayyy) They always take awhile to make the pancakes so keep that in mind if you're arriving hungry. Sometimes the pancakes are a bit on the burned side.

Belly Cake is a cute mom and pop cafe on Bell blvd. It's fairly small inside but still has a good amount of seats. I came on a Saturday morning and there were lots of families enjoying breakfast here as well. It's definitely a wholesome place with a simple menu of breakfast foods, most noticeably the pancakes but there are also several savory items as well. I got the choco coco belly stacks, which were chocolate pancakes. It was a stack of 3 fluffy pancakes that had a good chocolate flavor, but not too rich or overwhelming. The menu says it's filled with chocolate chips but there were only a few chocolate chips on top. It was also supposed to be "dipped in chocolate ganache sauce" but there was just a thicker layer of chocolate sauce on the top layer and the other 2 were plain chocolate pancakes. It did come with chocolate syrup on the side but that was also pretty light. I think these chocolate pancakes would be good for someone who likes chocolate but doesn't want something very heavy in the morning. I personally love chocolate foods, so for me, it could have a stronger chocolate flavor. There's also a lot of other unique pancake flavors like tiramisu, matcha brulee, banana brulee and more for all your different taste buds. I also noticed that their menu has a good amount of drinks - coffee, juices, smoothies, and teas. So definitely a great breakfast/brunch spot. Prices are also affordable as well!

Best pancakes ever!!! Moist Fluffy and delicious wow. The sausage and potatoes should good. Service was really good and ambience is cozy and warm
