The Original Pancake House - Whittier
16363 Whittier Blvd, Whittier, CA
Crema's Take
“This is the rare breakfast spot that takes dietary restrictions seriously—their gluten-free pancakes and waffles actually taste like the real thing, not an afterthought—making it a genuine refuge for anyone tired of limited options. The kitchen runs with impressive efficiency and their signature Apple Pancake with warm cinnamon-spiced apples is legitimately worth the trip, though skip the coffee and stick with their excellent breakfast items instead. It's the kind of place families return to repeatedly because the portions are generous, the staff genuinely cares, and the online waitlist system means you're not standing around frustrated.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

Short wait, we love their online waitlist queue for large family outings. The staff is courteous and quick, kitchen and front of house is a well oiled machine! Entire menu ia delicious and generous portion can be shared, or be ready to take home.

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick review. My boyfriend and I had breakfast here for the first time and the experience was fantastic. Great service all around, and the food was amazing! We tried the German pancake on the owner's recommendation, and the pancake was…
We ordered 49’er flapjacks and corned beef hash. Both of them were very good. However, the coffee was so weak that I don’t recommend at all. If you order cinnamon waffles, make sure they put the syrup on the side. the waffle became soggy when they put it on top.
