Our first morning waking up in Los Angeles, California and we needed to decide on a place for breakfast. We had only two requirements: that it be close to our hotel and it had coffee. We are not picky. We are not adventuresome breakfast eaters – rarely straying from eggs and pancakes. But still we didn’t want to eat in any restaurant that we could eat in at home. After perusing reviews, we settled on Jumpin Java, one of the closest to our hotel.
I had already read the reviews on the carrot cake pancakes ($6.95 for two), so I didn’t even need to look at a menu. Mr. Grey settled on his usual eggs and pancakes, but instead of going the carrot cake route, he went with the healthy ultimate pancakes (6.95 for two).
There is an option to get 4 pancakes for $7.95, and I can’t even imagine how someone could eat four. I could barely finish my two, these are large pancakes. They were also excellent. My carrot cake pancakes far exceeded my expectations. I expected a too sweet pancake flavored sort of carrot cakish – which it was not at all. There were bits of shredded carrots, plump raisins and walnuts – with a nice hint of sweet spices. They were absolutely perfect.
Mr. Grey loved his ultimate pancakes. You can see the hearty oats, very filling.
Coffee was good, was kept refilled.
Definitely recommend!
Mmmm! Pancakes! breakfast! Mmmm!
