"Pancakes. That’s it. That’s all this place sells. And we love it. We might even move to London Bridge just so all of our foreseeable mornings are spent saying things like “we’ll have the miso poached pear caramel pancakes with a side of bacon”. The buttermilk batter is, frankly, magical and we’re even into their eggy options. Try the XXL dutch babies if ‘thick’ is your pancake buzzword." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
"As fun as spending your Saturday morning in the gluten-free aisle screaming “THREE BLOODY QUID FOR A SCOTCH PANCAKE?!” is, brunch at Where The Pancakes Are is better. It’s entirely dedicated to the best of the beige foods—cinnamon-poached pineapple pancakes, hot honey and cheese dutch babies, warm churro chocolate cookies. And you can get any of them with their 3-in-1 batter, which is also vegan. On sunny days taking your mimosa carafe and sea salted caramel stack to one of this Southwark spot's outdoor benches is the move." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Ah, another beautiful day in lockdown hell. But before you consider going on parental strike under your duvet, turn to pancakes instead. Where The Pancakes Are deliver everything you need for a fun-but-easy breakfast as part of their Big Brunch Box. It includes all your classic pancake toppings, 100% pure Canadian maple syrup, how-to tips, and their excellent batter premixed for maximum flipping potential and minimal effort. You can also freeze any leftover batter, or just go ahead and commit to one big, tasty weekend pancake party. You never know, you might even forgive them for waking you up at 5am." - heidi lauth beasley
"In the battle of crying child vs pancakes, a three-stacker wins every time. So Where The Pancakes Are may be your new favourite place. There's enough room to comfortably bring a pushchair in, a couple of high chairs available, and a children’s menu that includes enough pancake topping options that it could double as a bedtime story come 6pm (is that when babies sleep?). And if the only way your mate’s picky two year-old—sorry, 24 month-old—will eat asparagus is if it’s sandwiched between some fluffy pancakes, then this Southwark spot is the perfect restaurant for that too." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager
"You don’t have to be Poirot to figure out that this place serves pancakes, but what the name won’t tell you is that this is one of the nicest brunch spots in town. Open from 9am daily, they specialise in a buttermilk batter that makes their pancakes extra fluffy, and you can match your stack with everything from forest berries to poached eggs with smoked salmon. Located five minutes from London Bridge, they’ve got some nice outdoor seating. FYI, there is a slight slope leading up to the entrance from Southwark Bridge Road, but you can also access it through Flat Iron Square, incline-free." - heidi lauth beasley
