House potatoes AND a side of mini goodness(pancakes or waffles ) with an omelette ? yes, please! Coffee is great with a chocolate croissant ! Tables are a little small, but great place nonetheless.

Olivia Dmitruk

I LOVE the Spanish Harlem omelette ! So delish! Also love that you can get mini pancakes or mini waffles instead of toast and get the best of savory and sweet in your brunch !

Lenora Cravens

I had the steak and eggs with chummicurri and pancakes and it was delicious. The hubby had meat wagon omelette which was delicious as well . The baby liked the pancakes !

Erika Davis

Very hearty meal . Coffee is good, pancakes is good, eggs are good and even their chicken noodle soup is good. Come early for breakfast .

Good food, tight space. Spanish Harlem : spread pico around; it's what makes the dish. Giant plates + small tables = awkward geometry. Tightly spaced tables: I've seen urinals with more elbow room.

Our server was excellent. Swapped out the cappuccino that was too light. All with a smile and the best Sevice. Thanks

Zach Dietmeier

Healthy portions, even bigger flavor, and the pancakes are worth every bite.

Somewhat posh but super friendly , the wait staff will let you sit & use their free Wi-Fi with as little as an order of coffee . But beware, the AT&T Wi-Fi is spotty. Wifi password: greatpancake

Try the smoked salmon Benedict on a bagel with caviar hollandaise .

Xian Barrett

Substandard food, I feel like they just capitalize on the overflow/less open minded customers who don't want the wait, diversity of Sweet Maple .

Jack VanOverloop

Everything is great. The adult grilled cheese is my personal favorite.

Varun Sastry

This place has amazing frittatas and chocolate chip pancakes !

Great breakfast potatoes . Sit at the breakfast bar to see all the action. Spiro is a great host.

The Taylor St frittata was a bit salty for my taste. Prosciutto does make it salty, but was prepared with more salt.

Abby Schmeling

Great breakfast specials

If you want good eggs benedict go to Angel's. It's just down the street.

Do not ask for sugar free syrup and do not ask for hot/warm syrup.....you will be disappointed by answers to both questions.

Ron Willis

Great Brunch try the Stax Chopped Salad

Shannon H.

The mixed berry crepes are delicious.

Giric Goyal

Pancakes !! Mamma miaaaaa

Bob Oakes

Not Reccomended. Very slow to get mediocre food for way to much money. Waitress never came ba k to azk how things were. Eggs overcooked. Potatoes undercooked. Bad experience all around.

Kim Bean

"look honey they have a $14 omelet . I've never had a $14 omelet ." this is what I heard a woman say to her husband as they passed by and read the sign. Stax, your menu is overpriced for this area/city!

Abeer Aziz

Peanut butter and chocolate chip pancake was fluffy and perfect .. the omelette was good too بانكيك الشوكلاته والفول السوداني كان لذيذ وهش .. الاومليت برضو حلو
