10 Best Pancakes in the Philippines 2024 | Buying Guide Reviewed by Nutritionist-Dietitian

There's nowhere better to get pancakes than from Pancake House! As their name suggests, they have a wide array of pancake flavors available, but these plain pancakes will always be a no-fail choice. They have just the right thickness and fluffiness, as well as a melt-in-your-mouth goodness.

You can choose to get either two or three pancakes, depending on your appetite. These are served with whipped butter and syrup to complete this classic combination. As for the taste, the pancakes are already appetizing on their own, but you can add more syrup to enhance its taste.

Each serving is already good as a filling meal. But if you're craving for something more savory, you can opt for the Classic Country Medley that has two pancakes, country sausages, and juice. Or, you can enjoy these pancakes as a lighter fare with their new Pancake Bites served with their signature whipped butter and syrup. 

Paper Moon specializes in multi-layered Mille crepes that have exquisite flavors and aesthetics. From the creation of Emy Wada, who is Tokyo's Grand Dame of Specialty Cakes, a fusion of Japanese matcha and signature French crepes are made.

This Mille crepe is 10 inches in diameter and has countless layers of thin and light crepes. In between, you get a taste of the matcha-flavored pastry cream. On top, there is a generous dusting of matcha powder. Its taste is bittersweet and well-balanced, which is great if you prefer your desserts to be less sweet. 

For special occasions such as anniversaries and birthdays, you have an option to add toppers or a customized one. Also, for PHP 280, you can buy a large thermal insulation bag with two ice gels. This may cost you a bit more, but it helps prevent the crepe from being soggy, especially if the delivery destination is far from the store. 

Originally from Japan, Gram Cafe and Pancakes has made its way to the Philippines, and we're here for it! Their soufflé pancakes have gained a reputation of being Instagrammable, hence the name. For starters, the best option would be their three-piece classic pancakes.

This list would not be complete without an option for those who are health-conscious! Cafe 2.0 has an extensive menu of paleo and keto-friendly food items that are free from gluten, grains, refined sugar, soy, and transfat. 

Their own take on American pancakes is made of coconut flour, coconut milk, coconut oil, eggs, erythritol, vanilla, baking soda, and sea salt. For just PHP 210, you get three pancakes with coconut vanilla grass-fed butter and hibiscus, berry, raw honey, or coconut syrup that you can enjoy with less guilt. 

Message their Instagram or Facebook pages to order, and they will coordinate with the branch nearest you. They also provide weekly meal plan services to help you on your journey to healthy eating.

For a fresh and fruity take on the original pancakes, go for the Summer Berry pancakes with mixed berry compote and Nama cream. Equally great are the creme brulee pancakes with a torched creamy vanilla Anglaise that are best consumed in-store for the optimal gastronomic experience.

If you're a fan of savory crepes, the best choice would be La Creperie's Complète. Nestled inside the crepe are ham, Emmental, and Gruyère cheeses, fresh mixed mushrooms, and dijon mustard. A poached egg sits on top that, when sliced, will ooze out a rich yolk which binds everything together. 

With the salad served on the side, this truly is a complete breakfast! Besides the Complète, you can also explore other savory crepes with different fillings. For seafood lovers, go for La Mer or Crevette. Pack-up on meat with Campagne, Le J.J., Hungarian Sausage, and Angus Beef Tapa. The cheesy options are Simple, Nami, and Spinach and Herbed Cheese. 

Tyler's Cafe has been one of the go-to spots for all-day breakfast meals along Katipunan. Of course, their menu wouldn't be complete without pancakes. What sets their pancakes apart is the ricotta cheese that's combined in the batter, so they're quite filling despite being on the thinner side.

Each serving has a generous dollop of sweet strawberry jam, almonds, cream, fresh basil leaves, and syrup to complement the rich texture. Aside from this variant, you may also try the chocolate flavor or classic plain one. For a more savory taste, go for ricotta pancakes with salted egg butter, bacon, and syrup.

There is variety in terms of the available flavors, but their best-seller is the Tarte au Citron that tastes like a lemon pie in crepe form. It also comes with a special homemade lemon cream, making it ideal for those who love citrusy food. Whichever you end up getting, you will get a taste of France even at home.

They have crepes that are both sweet and savory. Also, if you'd like plain crepes, these are available in sets of 5 or 10.

For top-tier Filipino breakfasts, there is no better place to go than Kanto Freestyle Breakfast! As far as all-day breakfast places go, there will always be pancakes.

Each serving already has three pancakes but only costs around PHP 150, making this a budget-friendly choice. On top of the stack is the ganache made of Goya, a local brand of chocolate. In addition, chunks and shavings of the well-known peanut bar Chocnut are sprinkled on the pancakes.  

If you're looking for a filling almusal, Flossom Kitchen + Cafe's Ultimate English Breakfast is the best choice for you!

Apart from their menu staples, you can also request a customized pancake layered cake for special occasions.
