Today, we’re talking the best pancakes. Speaking of, how do you like yours cooked? I know someone who likes their pancakes underdone (aka doughy) and, frankly, it’s unhinged. Fully cooked, but still soft and fluffy, is the only way to go. However you like your short stacks, here’s a roundup of the best.

The best cakes in town are the lemon pancakes with buttermilk syrup at Lazy Day Cafe in Millcreek, the ube pancakes on The Pearl’s Sunday brunch menu, and the dude cakes (sweet/savory stack) at Vertical Diner.” — Christy G.

The sour cream pancakes at Hub and Spoke Diner on 1100 E. are the best I’ve ever had!” — Rebekah L.

The biggie buttermilk pancake at Roots Cafe in Millcreek.” — Kwynn G.
