The 7 Best Places For Perfectly Delicious Pancakes In Columbus

There’s no breakfast item more iconic than the pancake.

The pancake is a fluffy, delightful way to start the day. From giant flapjacks to silver dollars, there are so many delicious pancake spots around Columbus. I think one of the things that makes pancakes so popular is how customizable they are.

Wanting something sweet added? You can do that. Looking for a more savory version? You can do that too. What can I say? The pancake is a versatile crowd-pleaser.

Here are the best spots around Columbus for a stack of pancakes.

Katalina’s

via Facebook

About: Okay so technically, these aren’t your traditional pancakes. These little gems are called pancake balls, and they’re somewhere between a donut and a pancake. Dipped in syrup and topped with powdered sugar, these little bites have been making Columbusites exceedingly happy for years now.
Location: 1105 Pennsylvania Ave, Columbus, OH 43201 and 3481 N High St, Columbus, OH 43214

The Original Pancake House

via Facebook

About: You can’t talk about pancakes in Columbus and not talk about The Original Pancake House. Of course, this iconic breakfast spot offers more than pancakes, but we all know why we’re here. They have all kinds of pancakes here, from plate-sized traditional flapjacks to decadent red velvet pancakes.
Location: 1633 W. Lane Ave. Upper Arlington, OH 43221 and 715 Worthington Rd, Westerville, OH 43082

German Village Coffee Shop


About: The pancakes at German Village Coffee Shop aren’t fancy or glamorous. They’re old school, fluffy, delicious, and simple, although you can add blueberries or chocolate chips if you’re feeling fancy. The pancakes are massive, but if you’re just looking for a smaller portion, you can order silver dollars.
Location: 193 Thurman Ave, Columbus, OH 43206

DK Diner


About: DK Diner is known for a lot of things, but they’re most well known for their donuts. So it makes complete sense that the pancakes on the menu here are made with donut batter. It’s almost like the opposite of Katalina’s pancake balls. Instead of pancakey-donuts, it’s donutty-pancakes!

The Pancake House Family Diner
