Visiting Gram Cafe & Pancakes is truly a delightful food adventure. While the wait time can be around 30 minutes to an hour, it’s definitely worth it for the quality and flavor of the dishes offered. One of the highlights for me was the Biscoff pancake—a perfect balance of sweetness with a rich, slightly caramelized flavor that pairs wonderfully with their iced honeycomb latte. The shrimp croquettes stood out as a savory appetizer, crispy on the outside and tender inside, which paired nicely with the fresh salad and Japanese sesame dressing served alongside. The menu offers a variety of creative options, such as the Wagyu Burger Pancakes topped with crispy bacon, arugula, egg, and avocado, combining savory and fresh flavors seamlessly. Another favorite is the Big Gram Grammy, a hearty pancake dish that fills you up but doesn’t feel heavy. The addition of smoked salmon and bacon in other pancake choices showcases the chef’s skill in mixing traditional breakfast favorites with gourmet twists. Gram Cafe’s atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a leisurely brunch or lunch. I also appreciated the timely and friendly service despite the busy hours. For those planning to visit, arriving early can help minimize wait times since they open at 8:30 AM and close by 3:30 PM. Overall, Gram Cafe & Pancakes delivers an exceptional dining experience that keeps me coming back. Whether you’re craving sweet pancakes with unique toppings or savory dishes with fresh ingredients, this place offers something special that you won’t find in typical pancake houses. I highly recommend trying multiple dishes with a partner or friend to sample the variety and truly enjoy what they have to offer.
