The Best Pancakes in Sydney to Indulge in

These are the best pancakes in Sydney for the next time your cravings kick in.

Gram Cafe & Pancakes

Be it buttermilk pancake stacks topped with ice cream, hotcakes, fluffy pancakes or crêpes, one thing's for certain; magic happens when milk, flour and eggs come together to create breakfast heaven. 

No matter what style makes your taste buds tingle, covering all sweet and savoury concoctions, these are the best pancakes in Sydney.

Air Lab

Air Lab

Light as air and proud of it, Air Lab is the hotspot bringing Japanese souffle pancakes to the sweet tooth folk of Sydney. Creating flavour combos that have us drooling already, choose from Snickers, pistachio, matcha and Nutella coffee, or keep things simple with maple syrup and butter.

The sugary fun doesn't stop at pancakes, with soft serve parfait, puff choux pastries loaded with creamy fillings, milkshakes and frozen brulee cheesecake, making us think we may need to visit Air Lab more than once.

85 John Street, Cabramatta

Valentinas

Valentinas 

Serving up old-school American diner stacks, Valentinas hotcakes are the real deal. Order up to three in a stack with Canadian maple syrup, butter and icing sugar. Add shaved chocolate, blueberry or bacon if you feel so inclined.

We recommend ordering the Tina classic which gives you the chance to sample a little bit of everything on the menu. Scrambled eggs, bacon, home fries and a pancake? Be still our beating hearts. 

132 Livingstone Road, Marrickville 

Speedos Cafe

Speedos Café

This North Bondi cafe is all about clean eating and gluten-free delights – but that’s not to say they don’t have a decadent pancake stack on the menu. Making its way into our top picks of pancakes is the caramelised banana pancakes, topped with poached berries and seasonal fruit, pistachio crumble and maple syrup that will leave you satisfied without the guilt.

With a relaxed vibe and beach vistas, there's no better place than Speedos to enjoy your Saturday morning pancake feast.

126 Ramsgate Avenue, Bondi Beach

Blackwood Pantry

Blackwood Pantry

When you’re southside or beachside, make a beeline for Blackwood Pantry and make the most of their all-day breakfast menu.

Equal parts inventive and mouthwatering, the blueberry and ricotta hotcakes with fresh blueberries, cultured lemon butter and cinnamon-infused maple syrup are delectable. Take the team's recommendation and order them to share after your meal. 

Bondi and Cronulla

Gram Cafe & Pancakes

Gram Café & Pancakes

Japanese cult chain store, Gram Café & Pancakes is one of Sydney's best cafes for fluffy pancakes. Sydneysiders love the taste of the much-loved soufflé pancakes that light up Instagram feeds far and wide.

The coveted pancakes are as light and soft as clouds, stacked three pancakes high and drizzled with syrup, or filled with creamy, decadent fillings. Now, that’s our kind of breakfast.

Chatswood Interchange & The Galeries

Bills

Bills

The ricotta hotcakes served at Bill’s are the stuff of legend. With banana and honeycomb butter accompanying the fluffy cakes of your dreams, you’ll question every supermarket-bought pikelet of your youth and vow never to sink to such lows again.

Team your brekkie with a white peach bellini with prosecco and white peach purée or a signature Bills spiced bloody Mary to make it a brilliant boozy brunch.

Bondi Beach, Darlinghurst, Double Bay and Surry Hills

Harry's Bondi

Harrys Bondi

As pretty as a picture, Harry’s blueberry ricotta hotcake is plated with such care that you will honestly feel you’re committing an offence by tucking into it… not that that would stop us.

Topped with summer berries, toasted coconut and vanilla bean double cream, the ricotta hotcakes sell like… hotcakes… you can always round out the best pancake fix with a cold-pressed juice.

2/136 Wairoa Avenue, Bondi

Porch & Parlour

Porch and Parlour

Renowned as the place to be seen brunching on a Saturday morning in North Bondi, Porch and Parlour dishes are just begging to be ‘grammed.

The green pea pancake is always popular, served with a poached egg, whipped feta, housemade seed mix, avocado, and cherry tomatoes You will be left feeling mighty virtuous without forgoing the best pancake fix, though if you do prefer a sweet treat, the fresh ricotta pancakes with honey cream hit the spot.

17-18/110 Ramsgate Avenue, North Bondi

Indigo

Indigo

An Eastern Suburbs’ all-day-brekkie haunt, sprawled across the ever-chic Transvaal Avenue, Indigo serves up some of Sydney's best stacks. Their pancakes with caramelised banana, maple syrup and vanilla whipped mascarpone are heaven on a plate and team swimmingly with an iced tea or chai latte.

1 Transvaal Avenue, Double Bay
