"Baja Cafe is a must! The blueberry pancake must have a pint of fresh blueberries in it and it's as big as the plate."

"That Cinnamon Roll pancake is straight up dangerous. I'm not saying I licked the plate, but...I'm not NOT saying that, either."

"It’s argued that the best seat in the house is right at the counter/bar. It’s the perfect opportunity to spark up a conversation with the staff, catch a whiff of whatever’s being made on the griddle. The pancakes aren't crazy big or too small — they're just right."

"These pancakes are so buttery and fluffy, you’d never believe they’re vegan!"
— Hannah Hernandez’s favorite“The pancakes at Frank’s take me back to mornings at my grandma’s. Those crispy edges and fluffy centers, perfect for collecting that melted butter to ensure no bite gets skimped, leaving me longing only for music videos from the 90’s in the background.”

No matter what scope of pay grade, theological leanings, or political preference, a good old-fashioned coffee shop is a place of refuge for everybody. It’s just that feeling of walking in, being greeted by a friendly staff that has the patina of having worked there long before you received your driver’s license, booths filled with locals and travelers tucked deep into hearty plates of comforting goodness and the ever-present counter.

“The cinnamon roll pancake at Nook is the fluffiest, sweetest, and most delightful pancake in Tucson. They ran it as a special once and everybody demanded it, so they put it on the menu. I daydream about this pancake.”
