The Pancake Shop
216 Central Ave, Hot Springs, AR
Crema's Take
“The Pancake Shop has been slinging legitimately excellent pancakes since 1940, and the kitchen's pride in what hits your plate is genuinely palpable—this isn't nostalgia bait, it's the real thing. The staff moves with practiced efficiency even during the inevitable breakfast rush, keeping your coffee topped off and your table turning smoothly, making it feel effortless to linger over a second cup. If you're visiting Hot Springs, this is the breakfast destination locals actually mean when they say "must-go."”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.
