Happy Pancake Day! This year, I enjoyed a pancake at Covent Garden from Pancs, a small cafe serving up light bites and pancakes in the lower ground of Covent Garden market. Today, the cafe had a special menu item, an Oreo pancake. This pancake was made using chocolate batter, chocolate syrup, buttercream, and crumbled Oreo cookies. It was delicious, filling, and very sweet.
The added advantage of Pancs is that it is on the side of the lower floor where live music is played throughout the day at Covent Garden market. I listened to an opera singer, who stopped her shift half the way through my visit and who was replaced with a group of violinists. The singer and the subsequent violinists were all very talented.
Just look at those layers!
Pancs is open for breakfast each day. The service was a little slow, particularly getting a seat and waiting for acknowlegement. Other reviewers have found them to be rude, but I didn't have a bad experience other than the service and acknowledgement being slow. The pancake was good, but it was so filling that I could not finish it. They're probably best for sharing with a cooked breakfast beforehand.
