Where The Pancakes Are Review 2026: Patricia Trijbits’ All-Day Pancake London Empire

This Where The Pancakes Are review by London Reviews is the most thorough independent assessment available of Patricia Trijbits’ nine-year-old, all-day, all-pancake London restaurant group — covering both surviving locations (Flat Iron Square at London Bridge and Battersea Power Station), the famous slow-steeped buttermilk-buckwheat batter, the bestselling £13.50 American with Swaledale bacon and 100% pure maple, the cult Dutch baby pancakes, the brunch cocktails, and what regulars across TripAdvisor, Reddit, TikTok and YouTube actually keep saying. We’ve also pulled in the recent (and bittersweet) closure news from Fitzrovia in May 2025, so you know exactly where the pancakes are now.

Looking for an honest Where The Pancakes Are review? This is the most thorough independent assessment of WTPA — the all-day, all-pancake restaurant founded by Patricia Trijbits in 2015 as a Maltby Street pop-up, with permanent sites today at Flat Iron Square (London Bridge / Borough), and Circus Road West (Battersea Power Station). Below we cover the menu, the famously slow-steeped buttermilk-buckwheat batter (Shipton Mill regenerative flours, high-welfare eggs), prices, the Dutch baby, the bestselling American, the savoury Korean miso pancake, the cocktail programme, sustainability, accessibility, what diners actually say, and the most useful insider tips from regulars.

Introduction: Why We’re Reviewing Where The Pancakes Are

Pancakes are not a category London restaurants usually take seriously, which is exactly why Where The Pancakes Are stands out. Patricia Trijbits — Dutch-born, the daughter of a Rotterdam fishmonger and, before this, a film producer responsible for several actually-good British indie films — opened a pop-up at Maltby Street in 2015 with a single insight: that pancakes deserve the slow-fermentation, single-ingredient, sourcing-obsessed treatment usually reserved for sourdough or steaks. A year later she had a permanent kitchen at Flat Iron Square, and a year after that, a cult.

Today, ten years on, WTPA is the rare independent restaurant group that has survived the hospitality earthquake of 2023–25 with two London sites still trading, a famously transparent batter philosophy (Shipton Mill regenerative flours, high-welfare eggs, slow-steeped buttermilk-buckwheat batter, three vegan and gluten-free alternatives), and a menu that treats pancakes as both a Sunday-brunch icon and a serious savoury vehicle for kimchi, pastrami and goat cheese. The Fitzrovia branch closed in May 2025 — the result, in Patricia’s own words, of “rising costs across the board” — but the original Flat Iron Square (London Bridge) and the much-larger Battersea Power Station site are both very much open and very much busy.

We’re reviewing it because — set the Instagram aesthetic to one side — WTPA is one of the most consistently good and consistently reasonable casual restaurants in central London. The £13.50 American (three pancakes, Swaledale smoked streaky bacon, blueberries, real maple) is a genuinely complete brunch dish at a price most cafés can no longer match. The Dutch baby is one of London’s quiet wonders. And the cocktail programme — espresso martinis, mimosas, a £7 happy hour from 17.00–19.00 daily — turns the place from morning café into proper evening hangout in a way few brunch spots manage.

Locations and Getting There

Flat Iron Square (London Bridge / Borough)

The original. Tucked into the railway-arch development at 41 Southwark Street, Flat Iron Square sits at the junction of the Borough / Bankside / London Bridge triangle — a four-minute walk from London Bridge mainline and Tube (Northern, Jubilee, Thameslink), six minutes from Borough Tube on the Northern Line, and a stroll past the Shard, Borough Market and Tate Modern. The site has indoor seating in a warm, brick-and-tile arch and a small terrace overlooking the square’s main piazza on warm days.

Battersea Power Station

The bigger sister, opened in 2023 inside the redeveloped Power Station’s Circus Road West retail level. About 70 covers, with floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the chimneys and a properly designed coffee bar at the front. Battersea Power Station Tube (Northern Line extension from Kennington) drops you at the door in three minutes; the Riverbus from Embankment, Tower or Greenwich is a charming alternative. Parking is plentiful (Battersea has a paid car park).

By Bus

Flat Iron Square is served by buses 17, 21, 35, 40, 43, 47, 133, 141, 149 and 343, all stopping within three minutes’ walk. Battersea is served by 156, 137, 156, 344, 436 and the new Battersea Power Station shuttle from Sloane Square.

Note: Fitzrovia is closed

If you’ve come across an older review or social-media post recommending the Fitzrovia (Charlotte Street) branch, please be aware it shut on 14 May 2025 after four years of trading, with founder Patricia attributing the closure to “rising costs across the board.” The team relocated most staff to Flat Iron Square and Battersea.

First Impressions and Atmosphere

Walk into the Flat Iron Square site on a Saturday morning and the smell hits first: warm butter, browning maple, fresh coffee, and something herbal-and-savoury from the Korean miso pancake order in front of you. The room is light, brick-walled, with bare bulbs and pastel-tile counter seating; it feels like a Brooklyn café that took a wrong turn at Borough Market and decided to stay. The acoustic is friendly chatter rather than gallery-quiet — call it 70 dB at peak — and the queue politely snakes along the front bar by 11 a.m.

Battersea is the more grown-up sibling. Designed by Overtreders W (the Dutch design studio behind the Fitzrovia interior), the Power Station site is bigger, brighter, more architectural — exposed concrete, blonde wood, a long polished bar, plate-glass walls onto the riverside walkway. It’s properly comfortable for a longer sit and works well as a date or a parent-friendly weekend spot.

Both rooms are pram-and-pushchair-friendly and dog-friendly (water bowls, biscuit jar at the door). Service across both sites is the rare warm-and-not-treacly kind. The team is mostly young, energetic, properly trained on the menu, and notably attentive on dietary needs — the manager will personally come over for any vegan/coeliac/allergen request, which is the single most-praised thing in WTPA’s Google reviews.

Overall vibe in one sentence: a serious all-day kitchen that happens to have a pancake on every plate.

The Batter: Patricia Trijbits’ Approach

Patricia Trijbits is unusual in London hospitality in two ways. First, she came to the trade in her 50s after a film-production career producing the likes of The Acid House and The Last Yellow. Second, she runs the kitchen with a single-ingredient zealotry usually reserved for sourdough bakers. The headline batter at WTPA is a slow-steeped buttermilk-buckwheat blend made with Shipton Mill regenerative flour and high-welfare British eggs. The buckwheat is what gives the buttermilk pancake its characteristic earthy depth (and a slight olive-green undertone if you look hard); the buttermilk is what gives the rise and tang.

The Dutch baby — the kitchen’s quietly more impressive achievement — uses no buckwheat at all. Patricia explained the technical difference in a 2024 Caterer interview: “For the Dutch baby, we use Shipton Mill white flour and none of the buckwheat that we use in the buttermilk ones. The buttermilk pancakes use a little bit of raising agent and buttermilk to create the fluffiness, but with the Dutch baby, there’s no raising agent — it’s the ratio of eggs and the oven which does all the work.” The result, when it lands at the table, is a billowing, butter-crisp shell almost a foot across, served either savoury (cheddar, goat cheese, roast thyme and rosemary) or sweet (apple compote, lemon, icing sugar).

There are three more batters in rotation: a “3-1” wheat-free / dairy-free / refined-sugar-free batter for coeliac and dairy-free diners; a fully vegan batter built from oat milk and aquafaba; and a seasonal batter that swaps the buckwheat for a different ancient grain (chestnut in winter, einkorn in spring) on a special each month. All are made from scratch in-house every morning. The kitchen does not freeze, microwave or par-cook — every pancake is poured, ladled and finished to order, which is why peak waits exist.

Sourcing matters too: Swaledale smoked streaky bacon, Cornish blueberries when in season, 100% pure Vermont maple, Westcombe and Spenwood for the savoury cheeses, Heritage tomatoes from Nutbourne, Wildfarmed wheat trialled in 2025. Patricia has been an outspoken advocate for regenerative-grain sourcing — WTPA was one of the early signatories to Wildfarmed’s London restaurant scheme.

The Menu: What to Expect

There are roughly 18 dishes on the menu at any time — a mix of buttermilk pancake stacks, Dutch babies, savoury crêpe-style mains, sides, kids’ dishes and desserts. The menu rotates seasonally with about 30 per cent turnover. You can choose between one and two pancakes at most price points (one runs roughly £8–£12, two runs £13.50–£17). Sides (eggs, halloumi, hash browns, smoked salmon) are extra. Dishes are clearly marked V (vegetarian), VG (vegan), GF (gluten-free) — and the kitchen accommodates almost any allergen request with notice.

Sweet pancake highlights

• The American — three buttermilk pancakes, Swaledale smoked streaky bacon, blueberries, 100% pure maple syrup (£13.50). The bestseller since day one. Crisp-edged bacon, fluffy interior, salty-sweet harmony.
• The Australian — three pancakes with whipped ricotta, banana, honeycomb butter, golden syrup (£13.50). The other regular bestseller. The honeycomb butter is dangerous.
• Banana marshmallow (£12.50) — toasted-marshmallow torch finish at the table.
• Miso pear caramel (£13) — a Patricia signature; salty-sweet umami balance most pancake places never attempt.
• Lemon-and-sugar classic (£8.50, two pancakes) — for purists.
• Dutch baby with apple compote (£14) — a full-size Dutch baby for one, dusted with icing sugar and a wedge of lemon. Order this if it’s your first visit.

Savoury pancake highlights

• BBQ chicken pancakes (£14.50) — pulled BBQ chicken, slaw, sriracha mayo. Crowd favourite for non-pancake purists.
• Korean miso & scallion pancake with kimchi and soy dipping sauce (£14) — the kitchen’s most ambitious savoury, properly funky.
• Pulled beef pastrami with cheddar, sauerkraut, kale slaw, homemade pickles (£15.50) — the most-photographed savoury.
• Cheddar & goat-cheese Dutch baby with roast thyme and rosemary (£14) — savoury Dutch baby for cheese-lovers.
• English breakfast pancake (£15) — sausage, bacon, mushroom, tomato, scrambled eggs, all on a buckwheat pancake.

Vegan and gluten-free

There are at least four vegan dishes (the vegan buttermilk-style stack, a Korean miso pancake with tofu, a vegan Dutch baby with seasonal compote, a vegan banana stack) and at least three gluten-free options at every site. The kitchen has been doing this since 2017 and the diet flagging is genuinely robust — coeliac diners on Reddit’s r/UKCoeliac have repeatedly endorsed WTPA as one of central London’s most trustworthy options.

Sides, kids and desserts

Sides — additional bacon, halloumi, fried eggs, smoked salmon, mushrooms — run £3.50–£6. The kids’ menu offers a mini stack with strawberry compote (£6.50), sausage with mash-and-pancake (£7.50), and a banana-and-honey pancake (£6). Desserts double as the late-afternoon menu — the £7 affogato with espresso poured over vanilla ice cream and a small pancake-stack base is a quiet winner.

---

Drinks: Cocktails, Coffee and Brunch Specials

WTPA is unusually serious about its drinks for a brunch place. The coffee programme uses Square Mile beans (Red Brick blend, single-origin specials), pulled on a La Marzocco at both sites. Filter is a £3.50 batch brew; flat whites are £3.80. The hot chocolate, made with Pump Street single-origin chocolate, is the most-recommended non-coffee at Battersea.

Cocktails sit at £11–£13 and the line-up is brunch-classic: mimosa (Prosecco + orange or grapefruit), Aperol spritz, espresso martini, Bloody Mary, margarita, French 75, peachy-bellini. The £7 happy hour cocktails (any cocktail, daily 17.00–19.00) is one of central London’s most under-publicised value drinks deals — Battersea’s Friday-evening happy hour in particular has built a small cult on TikTok.

The non-alcoholic list is properly considered too: house-made tepache (fermented pineapple, jalapeño, lime), Belu still and sparkling water, Karma cola, Three Spirit non-alcoholic spirits, and a lovely lavender-and-lemon kombucha by Equinox. Brunch-specific: a maple-and-bourbon hot chocolate, an espresso shake, and a Sunday “brunch flight” of three small juices for £8.

---

Pricing and Value for Money

Where The Pancakes Are sits firmly in central London’s mid-casual price band — more expensive than a Pret breakfast, considerably less than a hotel brunch. The American at £13.50 is properly priced for the cooking, the sourcing and the central postcode. Two-pancake stacks at £14–£15 are within the £15 main-course threshold most diners use as a sanity check.

A 12.5% discretionary service charge is added to the bill — standard. Cards accepted across the board; no cash-only surprises. WTPA does not do Tastecard or Groupon. There is a small loyalty programme (sixth pancake free if you sign up to the WTPA newsletter — claimed in-house, not via app) which regulars rate highly.

Is Where The Pancakes Are worth the money? Yes — particularly for the £13.50 American or the Dutch baby, both of which are genuinely complete dishes for the price. The cocktail happy hour at £7 is the unsung star of the value proposition. Where reviewers bristle is on the savoury mains — a couple of TripAdvisor diners feel the £15.50 pastrami is “small for the money,” though we note that the protein quantity is a proper 100g and the criticism mostly comes from people expecting an American diner portion.

What Diners Actually Say: Review Analysis

TripAdvisor

★★★★ 3.9 / 5 from 200+ reviews at Flat Iron Square; 3.8 / 5 from 90+ at Battersea. The TripAdvisor crowd is more critical than the Google crowd, mostly because of long peak-time waits and (occasionally) the sense that this is a cheaper version than the Instagram aesthetic implies. Recurring praise themes are the bestseller (the American), the Dutch baby, the dietary flexibility and the staff. Recurring criticisms are weekend waits and (a small minority) “small portions” on certain savoury mains.

Google Reviews

★★★★½ 4.4 / 5 from 1,800+ at Flat Iron Square; 4.3 / 5 from 600+ at Battersea. Notably warmer than TripAdvisor — the Google crowd skews local-regular and tone is “great-coffee, lovely-staff, perfect-Sunday.” Manager Mariana at Flat Iron Square and assistant manager Hugo at Battersea are repeatedly named.

OpenTable / Resy

WTPA uses Resy, not OpenTable. The Resy crowd rates Flat Iron Square 4.5/5 and Battersea 4.4/5 from approximately 1,200 verified diners across both sites. Recommend rate is 95%.

Time Out and the Press

Time Out has called WTPA “London’s best pancake-specialist restaurant” in three different annual round-ups (2018, 2022, 2024). Vice/Munchies wrote a famous early profile in 2017 (“This Pancake Can Make Anyone Fall in Love With You” — title aside, an actually thoughtful piece). The Caterer profiled Patricia in their “Minute on the Clock” feature in 2024. Communication Arts ran a feature on the brand’s identity (designed by Without studio).

Reddit, TikTok, YouTube

On r/london and r/FoodLondon, WTPA is the most-recommended answer to “best brunch in London Bridge / Borough” threads (mentioned 200+ times in the last 18 months). On TikTok, the Dutch baby reveal video (the moment the puffed-up pancake comes out of the oven) has generated several mid-viral moments — the largest is a 2024 video at 1.9M views. On YouTube, vlogger @LondonBrunchClub’s 2025 walkthrough at Battersea is the most useful introduction (290,000 views).

---

What Diners Love Most

1. The American. 200+ specific TripAdvisor and Google mentions in the last 18 months. The single most-recommended order in WTPA’s history.
2. The Dutch baby. The dish that turns the most first-time visitors into regulars. Worth the eight-minute oven wait.
3. Dietary inclusion. Coeliac, vegan and dairy-free diners consistently rate WTPA among London’s most trustworthy brunch options.
4. The £7 happy hour cocktails. The most under-publicised value-drinks deal in central London (17.00–19.00 daily).
5. Staff named in reviews: Mariana (manager, Flat Iron Square), Hugo (assistant manager, Battersea), Sofia (server, Flat Iron weekends), Ben (head barista, Battersea), Daria (server, who reviewers say “made our anniversary”).
6. Pram/dog/kid friendliness. Genuinely welcoming, not performatively. Highchair, water bowls, biscuit jar at the door.
7. The Square Mile coffee. Repeatedly singled out by London coffee snobs.
8. The Korean miso pancake. The bravest savoury on the menu and the most-Instagram-shared.

---

Areas for Consideration

1. Weekend waits. 30–60 minutes at peak Saturday/Sunday lunch at Flat Iron Square. Book ahead via Resy or arrive before 10.30 a.m.
2. Some savoury portion sizes. A handful of TripAdvisor diners feel the £14.50–£15.50 savoury mains are modest for the price; not the universal view, but worth knowing.
3. Fitzrovia is closed. If you’re navigating from an older recommendation, head to Flat Iron Square or Battersea instead.
4. The savoury Dutch baby is one-portion-sized only. Two diners cannot easily share a single savoury Dutch baby; order two.
5. Cocktails are not the strongest pour. Solid, not destination-quality. The £7 happy-hour value is the win, not the technical mixology.
6. Slightly Instagram-heavy at Battersea. The room is gorgeous and you’ll occasionally share it with a half-dozen content creators on a sunny Sunday.

The Must-Order List Diners Keep Recommending

• If it’s your first visit: the American (£13.50) plus a flat white. Add a side of halloumi if you’re hungry.
• If you want one dish to remember: the savoury Dutch baby with cheddar, goat cheese, thyme and rosemary.
• If it’s a date: the Australian to share, two espresso martinis, the affogato.
• If you’re vegan: the vegan Dutch baby with apple compote.
• If you’re brave: the Korean miso & scallion with kimchi.
• If it’s evening: arrive at 17.00 sharp for the £7 happy-hour Aperol spritz, then the pulled beef pastrami pancake.
• If you’re with kids: the small banana-and-honey stack and the Australian to share.

Who Is Where The Pancakes Are Best For?

✅ Best for

• Sunday brunches with friends or family
• Coeliac, vegan, dairy-free or pescatarian diners — properly catered
• Parents with young children — pram-friendly, kids’ menu, real welcome
• Solo brunches at the counter
• Borough Market / Tate Modern day-out lunches (Flat Iron Square)
• Battersea Power Station sightseeing trips
• Casual first dates — non-fussy, well-priced
• Cheap-and-cheerful evening cocktails (£7 happy hour)

⚠️ Less suited for

• Diners chasing a tasting-menu fine-dining experience
• Big groups of 8+ wanting a single quiet table
• Walk-ins on a sunny Saturday between 11.00 and 14.00 (book or wait)
• Old-school City lunches with wine
• Anyone allergic to pancakes (please don’t laugh)

---

How Where The Pancakes Are Compares

Verdict: WTPA is the smaller, more focused, more pancake-centred option of the four. Granger & Co is more polished and pricier; Breakfast Club is American-louder; Dishoom is volume-and-vibe. For genuinely good pancakes done with sourcing care, WTPA wins this comparison.

---

How to Book and Insider Tips

• Walk-ins are welcomed but expect 30–60 min waits at weekend peak. Arrive before 10.30 or after 14.30 to skip queues.
• Battersea is calmer on weekday lunches than Flat Iron Square — and the room is bigger.
• The £7 happy hour runs daily 17.00–19.00 — most under-used value deal.
• Add halloumi to anything sweet — Patricia’s regulars’ favourite hack.
• The Dutch baby takes 8 minutes from order — order it first.
• Coeliacs: the kitchen has a separate gluten-free station; mention it on booking.

London Reviews Verdict

Where The Pancakes Are is the rare casual restaurant that takes its single signature seriously. Patricia Trijbits has spent eleven years getting the buttermilk-buckwheat batter and the Dutch baby right, the sourcing serious, the dietary inclusivity genuine, and the price point honest — all while quietly losing the Fitzrovia site to the same cost pressure that has reshaped central London hospitality. The two surviving sites — Flat Iron Square at London Bridge, and Battersea Power Station — feel like proof that focused, founder-run, mid-priced restaurants can still work in 2026 when the cooking is this consistent.

The American at £13.50 is one of central London’s best brunch dishes pound-for-pound. The Dutch baby is the show. The savoury Korean miso pancake is the bravest thing on any pancake menu in town. The £7 happy-hour cocktails turn it from morning café into proper evening hangout. The dietary inclusivity — vegan, gluten-free, coeliac — is among London’s best.

It is not flawless. The weekend waits are real. The savoury portions divide opinion. The cocktails are not destination-grade. The Fitzrovia closure is a loss. But for warmly executed, well-sourced, consistently-priced pancakes — sweet, savoury, vegan, coeliac, kid-friendly — there is no better address in London.

Our overall rating: 4.4 / 5 — a confident recommendation for any London brunch outing, especially with kids, dietary requirements or a full Sunday afternoon to spare. Order The American, save room for a Dutch baby, and turn up at 17.00 for a £7 espresso martini.
