Penny Ann's Cafe

Love their food and we especially appreciate how quiet this place is. No loud music so we can hear each other talk.

The food was really good and the place was very clean. I was impressed by how spotless the high chair was and how well the team worked together. Great experience overall!

Penny Ann’s Café – Bountiful Location
I recently visited Penny Ann’s Café for the first time, and unfortunately, it’ll also be my last. While the service from our waiter Hector was excellent, the overall experience didn’t live up to the hype—or the price.
Cost vs. Value: Breakfast for four totaled $78, which felt steep for a morning meal—especially for a family just looking to enjoy a casual bite and considering the quality. The portions were large, but the flavors didn’t justify the cost.
Food Quality: The “Heavenly Hot Cakes®” tasted more like Bisquick—dense and heavy, not light and airy as advertised.
My eggs were undercooked, with runny whites that made me nervous (thankfully, no sickness)
The home-fried potatoes dominated the plate but were bland and dry—no seasoning, no flair.
Drinks had a strange aftertaste that all of us noticed.
Hector was attentive and friendly, but we waited 15 minutes after finishing our meal just to get the bill. That lag really soured the end of the meal even more, (especially when we saw the amount.)
Menu Limitations: There was no senior menu or kids menu, which was disappointing. Smaller portions would’ve been appreciated, especially given the price.
Ambiance: The interior was surprisingly dark—less inviting than a mall food court. Not the cozy café vibe I expected.
Bottom Line: Penny Ann’s Café is pricey, portion-heavy, and underwhelming in flavor. Bountiful deserves a more affordable breakfast option with better execution. Sadly, this isn’t it.

Not sure how this cafe gets such good reviews. I got the Chicken Fried Steak and it was one of the worst I’ve had. The gravy was more grey than white but the steak was real meat which was nice. As for the cubed potatoes, they appeared to be not homemade & they kind of tasted like dirt. I love the skin left on potatoes but for heck’s sake, you’ve got to scrub off the soil real good if you’re going to serve them that way. The eggs were great & cooked exactly how I ordered them. I’m not sure why their pancakes are called “heavenly” pancakes because I thought they were pretty sub par. Felt & tasted like they had been previously cooked & maybe reheated. Nice that they had 2 different kinds of syrup though. The waiter (male) was training & did a great job so my tip reflected that. All in all I probably won’t go here again but check it out for yourself.

Food was pretty good. Typical diner fare, although the breakfast nachos looked interesting.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
First time at Penny Ann’s Cafe, and I’m officially hooked! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which made the whole experience even better.

The food? Phenomenal. I finally understand why everyone raves about their “Heavenly Hot Cakes” — they’re perfectly fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Portions were generous, prices reasonable, and everything tasted fresh and made with care.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with amazing breakfast, excellent service, and a place that feels like home, this is it. I’m already planning my next visit!

I had an amazing experience at Penny Ann’s Café in Bountiful! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel so welcome—friendly, attentive, and quick with service. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the “Heavenly Hotcakes” which really live up to their name—light, fluffy, and full of flavor. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality you get.

The café has such a warm, comfortable vibe—it feels like the perfect neighborhood spot to enjoy breakfast or brunch. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

First time in this PAC and I was pleased. The food and service was even better than the other 2 locations I have been to. It's a newer location and large and comfortable. There is plenty of free parking and I didn't have a wait for a table Sunday at 12:30.

Great experience from start to finish. The food was really good, but what truly stood out was the amazing service. From the moment we walked in, the host was kind and got us seated quickly. Our server, Jazmín, was absolutely wonderful!! always attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were full and our needs were taken care of without us having to ask. The restaurant was spotless, and you can tell they take pride in keeping everything clean and welcoming. We’ll definitely be coming back!! mainly because of the outstanding service. Thank you for such a great time!!

My first and last time in this restaurant. I ordered a chicken waffle they mix the chicken with the waffle mix. I never saw it in my life. I couldn’t eat everything, taste terrible. All place serve a waffle with a big pice of chicken on top the waffle. I was charged $13 dollars for a waffle with tiny pieces of chicken. NEVER come back there!
