Pancakes near San Diego, CA

“Visiting from Minnesota and we always enjoy going to non-chain restaurants.

This place is awesome! You won’t leave hungry. Staff are so nice. Food super tasty. You can tell the staff really enjoys their business. We went two days in a row.“

“We had a lovely time. The food is soso good!“

“Had breakfast this morning at Rosemary and Thyme Cafe. 5 out of 5 stars. Staff were amazing, owner was attentive and welcoming. Food was phenomenal and the portions were huge. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem!“

“After a doctor’s visit, I like to have a little treat, and this time I was craving blueberry pancakes! Enter The Original Pancake House.

I was greeted warmly and seated immediately. Despite arriving just 20 minutes before their posted closing time, I was never rushed and was able to relax and enjoy my pancake combo, which I upgraded to the blueberry option.

They certainly don’t skimp! There were not two but four pieces of delicious, thick-cut bacon, and the blueberry topping was so plentiful that it actually overflowed my plate when I poured it on. Now that’s a generous serving of blueberries!

The decor is minimal, which makes for easy cleaning, but it also lacks charm. For such a legacy business, I was hoping for a lot more character other than just the black and white photos on the walls. One small suggestion: a tableside purse stand would have been a handy touch. I always appreciate having a place to safely hang my purse rather than putting it on the floor.“

“good service and good food“

“You can't beat the incredible service that you will get at the Chula vista location! Plus the food & portions are A+++.The wife and I found this place about a year ago,we are life long customers. Thanks again“

“My wife and I ran across Aunt Emma’s Pancakes while vacationing in San Diego. We knew we had to try it before heading home, so we popped in and enjoyed breakfast together. The morning we went was raining, and the restaurant was packed, but we were seated almost immediately. I ordered Chilaquiles de Mole. If I had been hungrier, adding an 8oz steak was only $4 more, but as it was I had more than enough food. The chilaquiles were perfect… the texture was firm without being too crispy or mushy. The mole was slightly sweet with hints of chocolate and cinnamon, but still savory and lightly spicy. My wife ordered an Nopal Omelette with a side of Churro Pancakes. Her omelette had the nice tang and crisp from the nopal, and the pancakes were probably the best I’ve ever had. Not dry, not mushy, not too sweet… the texture was just right, and they were so delicious we ate them without syrup. We absolutely will be back… it’s worth driving out of your way to experience!“

“Great buttermilk pancakes! They were delicious and fresh.
The staff was nice and friendly which made the experience even better.
The place has an old fashioned american style atmosphere that gives it a cossy,classic feel.
Definitely a good spot for a tasty and reasonable priced lunch!“
