Great pancakes

[kiliki]

Any suggestions for terrific pancakes-the kind where your fork cuts through them like butter, rather than the kind that you have to really saw through? I've long given up finding good ones in a restaurant (with one northern California exception) but with 4 weeks left on our kitchen remodel, I'm really dying for a 'cake.

I'm pretty picky about pancakes, I like them very thin and soft. I haven't been there in a while but the ones at Palisade were good.

Pancake Chef in Tukwila....no, really...

I'm hardly a pancake conossieur, but I always enjoy them.

I like mine no bigger around than a CD and about as dark as maple syrup. I also like my butter whipped until it's soft.

Kiliki, get thee down to Geraldine's Counter and have their pancakes. High on the YUM factor, and meeting your "soft as butter" requirment.

Thanks.

I actually had terrific blueberry buttermilk pancakes on the way home from camping this weekend in Greenwater (north of Mt. Rainier on Hwy 410) at Buzzy's Greenwater Cafe. Geraldine's is definitely closer, though.

The only problem with Geraldine's Counter - if it can be considered a problem - is that they rotate which pancakes they make daily. I'm not sure if there is a definite rotation. However, if your mouth is hankering for a buttermilk pancake and it's not on the menu....

The yam fries are good and definitely worth it.

I am not a big pancake person. Dates from my childhood when I ate a lot of cold, ugly ones at summer camp. My bride and I went to a not-mentioned-yet-on-the-board restaurant in Redmond for brunch--Pomegranate. A wonderful place. I promise a full board on it soon.

My bride ordered their lemon-candied ginger oatcakes. I tried them. I was in heaven. I prayed she would not be able to finish them. My prayers were answered and she left me almost an entire pancake. You have to try them. You can find them at http://www.lisaduparcatering.com/Pomegranate.aspx?Nav=Home

There have been a few mentions - though not as a brunch location - on the Welcome Thread.

Will do.

In my continuing quest (yet not wanting to venture far outside the neighborhood before caffeine first thing in the morning) we went to The Original Pancake House on 15th in Crown Hill. I'd previously ignored it since I knew it was a chain and family oriented (snobby, I know) but what the hell, I wanted pancakes. The Swedish pancakes I had really hit the spot; the regular buttermilk cakes were pretty good and I was impressed at how well run the place was. There was coffee, water and slices of apple pancake set up in the waiting area, the wait was short despite the long line, and service was great. The coffee cups were extra big so my quick-drinking boyfriend didn't drain his then sit around fidgeting for more like usual, and my tea order came as a big pot of water with 2 tea bags and two lemon wedges. Sometimes its the thoughful little things. I will go back and try the Dutch Baby next time.
