The Pancake & Waffle Cafe

The Pancake & Waffle Cafe in Mount Lawley is focused squarely on sweet, made-to-order treats, with pancakes, waffles, crepes and ice cream forming the centre of its menu. The cafe says its pancakes and waffles are prepared fresh from scratch, giving the menu a clear handmade emphasis rather than a broad all-day dining offer. It caters for dine-in and takeaway, making it suitable for a relaxed dessert stop or a sweet breakfast-style outing in Perth.

The pancake menu ranges from simple combinations to more elaborate plates. Lemon Sugar Pancakes pair caramelised pancakes with fresh lemon, sugar and cream, while the Mixed Fruit Pancakes combine fresh bananas and strawberries with cream-patisserie, syrup and cream. The Caramel Banana Pancakes add bananas, cream-patisserie, house-made caramel sauce and fresh cream. For chocolate lovers, the Nutella Only Pancakes are filled with Nutella and served with cream, syrup and chocolate.

Waffles cover a similarly broad range of textures and toppings. The cafe lists Choc. Banana Waffles with banana, chocolate, syrup and cream, as well as a Strawberry Chocolate Waffle with fresh strawberries, chocolate, syrup and cream. The Chocolate Caramel Banana Waffle is a more substantial option, combining banana, caramel and chocolate sauces with handmade vanilla ice cream and fresh cream. There are also simpler choices, including Cinnamon Waffle and Chocolate Waffle with Cream. Crepes round out the menu with fillings and toppings such as strawberries, bananas, Nutella, apple sauce, custard and cinnamon sugar.

The venue’s culinary story is tied to a pastry chef with more than 30 years’ experience in the food industry and a stated background in European cooking. The cafe began in 2022 and describes its approach as a blend of classic recipes and newer ideas, with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and cooking from scratch. Its website characterises the space as intimate, so it may appeal to diners looking for a focused dessert experience rather than a large, varied cafe menu. With plenty of shareable sweet options across pancakes, waffles and crepes, it can work for couples, small groups or anyone visiting Mount Lawley specifically for dessert.
