Where to Get Pancakes With Your Kids

You’ll flip for these flapjacks.

Doesn’t this picture get your mouth watering? These pancakes are from Canela Cafe (2621 N. Downer Ave.; 414-226-6749): fluffy cinnamon topped with banana, peanut butter and honey. You might like IHOP, but trust us – these pancakes are on a different level. 

Honey Berry Pancakes and Cafe

This brand-new cafe serves up delicious pancakes, plus waffles and French toast. It’s super popular right now, so tell the adults to call ahead to reserve a spot and skip the line.

Honey Butter Cafe 

7221 S. 76TH ST., FRANKLIN | 414-367-2800

Breakfast at Honey Butter is a sweet treat (like, don’t-tell-your-dentist sweet). You can pile berries and other toppings on the pancakes – and they make an awesome Oreo cookie one with cream filling. We also recommend trying the s’mores French toast. 

Maxfield’s Pancake House 

333 W. BROWN DEER RD., FOX POINT | 414-247-4994

2727 N. MAYFAIR RD., WAUWATOSA | 414-453-6000

You can tell by this spot’s name that pancakes are its specialty. It has tons – chocolate chip, blueberry, strawberry, bacon, peanut butter or just good ol’ buttermilk. 

Milk Can Diner

5636 BROAD ST., GREENDALE | 262-946-5759

This friendly diner in Greendale with its curvy counter and old-fashioned vibe is one of the most fun places to eat breakfast around – and the sourdough pancakes can’t be beat.
