Happy National Pancake Week. For me as a child, every week was National Pancake Week. Who doesn’t love this delicious breakfast treat drowned in syrup and other of your favorite toppings? Fruit, chocolate chips, made with cake batter, the possibilities for pancakes are truly endless. For 2024 National Pancake Week is observed from February 19 through February 25th. So in celebration of this joyous occasion, I decided to deep dive into North Carolina’s Best Pancakes.
To do this I took my own (self-admitted expert) knowledge and consulted friends, family, and coworkers to create a list of pancake restaurants across the state of North Carolina that are well worth your visit. I wanted to branch out from just the classic buttermilk variety, but of course, some of those are included on this list. But with a breakfast dish that can be made so many different ways, we had to highlight some other varieties as well.
So on this list of North Carolina’s best pancakes, you’ll find spots in different cities (though living in Charlotte we are heavy on that location). You’ll find classic, gluten-free options, vegan options, unique varieties, and fun pancakes as well. I wonder if it’s too late to dip out of work and go to brunch? What would you classify as your favorite pancakes? Did I miss something incredible? Let us know on social media! You can learn more about the history of National Pancake Week and the origin of this delicious dish here.
