First of all, let me just say that I'm a native Angeleno in case that matters to you (it should). I'm not new to the brunch lifestyle. And, I'm a repeat customer at Flipper's, which says a lot. I rarely return to a place unless it deserves my time and money. Flipper's definitely does! Flipper's is a neighborhood gem and is always such a great experience. The soufflé pancakes absolutely live up to the hype. They're fluffy, light, and somehow still rich and satisfying without feeling too heavy. The presentation is beautiful, and the food actually tastes as good as it looks, which isn't always the case with trendy brunch spots. Flipper's has a Palm Springs vibe: bright, stylish, and relaxed, with a fire pit(!). And, the staff is generally kind and attentive. I also appreciate that the menu has a good balance of sweet and savory options: I've ordered and highly recommend: the Croque Madame, Fried Chicken & Truffles, 2 Eggs Any Style, Chicken & Waffles...and, of course, the Fresh Fruit Soufflé Pancakes. Flipper's is the kind of place that feels fun for a solo coffee date, brunch with friends, or taking out-of-town guests. I've never had a wait, but I tend to pop in during non-peak hours (mostly weekdays). Flipper's is one of the few Instagram-famous spots that actually delivers. read more

Visually perfect. See attached. So misleading. Chicken very over fried, meat hard to discern from dry bones. Special syrup so sweet it was inedible. Made me think abt how good the chicken and waffles are at yardbird. If this is the thought running thru my mind at Flipper's... not a good sign. The husband, of his eggs benny, said "the egg, ham, salad, etc. was delicious, but pancake base is v dry. The hollandaise, not the biggest fan. Tastes v off." I will never, ever be back. read more

I would not wish any breakfast companion in the world but you. Without further delay let's begin this spectacular review. Flipper's is a popular local breakfast spot in WeHo that offer a breadth of items. It is located in a tiny plaza on Fairfax avenue. From Japanese style soufflé pancakes to chicken 'n waffle to burgers and fries and toasts etc. We came as first time customer and arrived on a late sunny morning. Its exterior bldg has a vibrant yellow that really stands out on the street. Interior and exterior atmosphere were relaxing. I had a Fruit Pancakes and OJ. Both were absolutely delightful. Pancakes were soft and fluffy and its fruits were fresh as well as my OJ. A young white female staff was affable and warm. Service was spot on albeit depends on what you order. For instance, soufflé pancakes take ~20 mins to make. It's just how they're made. Prices were fairly marked. Parking lot and street metered parking are available. Collectively, it is a nice little breakfast spot with instagramable food. ;D Lol. Overall, I bloody enjoyed their pancakes! I recommend them. read more

Surprised that there wasn't a wait for a Friday. We ordered and everything came out in a timely manner. All the sides were really good (especially the hashbrowns), the pancakes on the other hand were okay. I've had soufflé pancakes before at another restaurant and I feel like I was basing my idea on how it would taste on those pancakes. These pancakes were moist and didn't really have flavor so I didn't really like them. The maple butter is different but I think I can do without read more

Great neighborhood gem! We've been several times already! and I keep wanting to go back to try all the dishes. The food tastes great and presentation matches the menu photos. Every staff memeber we've experienced are friendly, It has a large patio and plenty of outddoor seating most of the tables and seats are spread out. The biggest fav and plug is it's dog friendly! But my only request is to better keep the ground cleaner. 2nd time I noticed the ground had debris and looked dirty, therefore I don't care to leave my pup on the ground in some areas. read more

The soufflé pancakes are such a yummy delicacy! I came as a solo diner and got seated immediately at the bar. My pancakes were ready in a shorter time than my waitress expected which was a nice treat. I was given maple syrup but honestly these are great without any syrup so I didn't even need it! My onlyyyy critique is that the chicken i ordered on the side was meh. Overcooked and tough chicken bites that were hard to eat. I could've gone without ordering the chicken bites. But the soufflé pancakes were great! read more

Japanese souffle pancakes were delicious! Light and airy. I got the fresh fruit one and my friend got the basic. Guac dip was just ok. I've had better in LA, but nothing wrong with it. One complaint and a warning for out of towners. They have a very small parking lot with lines marked for their spots. LA folks don't let that stop them and clearly double park, blocking cars into their spots or making it difficult for them to leave. A car with a mother, nanny, and baby parked so that I just had room to get out, and then another car parked behind my car too. No one tried to help me. No remorse. If you don't want to risk it, park on the street. read more

The food and vibe was top notch! We were seated immediately as we arrived to our reservation. Parking was bit tedious as I had to park a block away, but the restaurant is located in a plaza with some of its own parking. Our server was fantastic and accommodating. Our food came to us exactly as we ordered and in a timely manner. We also got a side of chicken and breakfast potatoes afterward and it was delicious. I would definitely return, my friend and I will definitely be returning and recommending Flipper's to our friends and family. Thank you for the amazing breakfast!! read more

I had a nice brunch at Flippers. Sat outside and the vibe was really laid back classic brunch place. They are most known for their fluffy pancakes, but I was in more of a savory mood so I got their mushroom, spinach, & cheese omelette with toast, bacon, and hashbrowns. The eggs were super fluffy. Loved the hashbrowns they were extremely crispy just the way I like them. I asked for the bacon well done which they also honored and I appreciated that. Service was a bit slow and inattentive. One of our orders came late and did not arrive until we asked our waitress to check on it for us. But despite that still had a yummy meal. Would come back again for a small group brunch. Next time, I would definitely come with a sweet craving and try one of their fluffy pancakes! read more

The food at Flippers was delicious! I had the mushroom omelette, with egg whites, hold the tomatoes, bacon inside. It came out perfect, hot and tasty. And the French fries were PERFECT! I like my fries crispy and these were just right, with great seasoning! The staff people were friendly and mostly attentive. Butter was forgotten on the initial food delivery for the toast, but the server didn't come back for awhile to ask for that, so while it tasted great once I got the butter, the toast wasn't warm anymore. But overall this was a great meal and I'd go again when in town. read more

I absolutely loved flippers. I grabbed a table outside since the weather was nice and had a latte and some great food. Service was great and it wasn't a full 5 stars for me because it was just too much of that maple cream on top the pancakes for my liking. I'll get that on the side next time, but I will definitely be back next time I'm in LA to try other dishes. read more

Flipper's - Latte - Pancakes Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Absolute charmer. Wonderful variety and tastes are found at Flipper's. We thought to come in for the lemon-ricotta pancakes, but ended up going in a different direction. How Hollywood. Technically, this is West Hollywood, but wherever you map it, Flipper's is definitely worth visiting. The mushroom spinach cheese omelette has many ways to customize: pick a protein plus a few other options, and you're set. The lox was a slight upcharge, but man, they loaded it up nicely. This is one packed, flavorful omelet. Recommend the home fries, too (or choose salad). Homefries have a bit of a kick: they are cubed, not greasy, and a great complement to the omelette. Sourdough toast to round things out. A ton of food for $18. Note on the coffee: Bottomless, and really good. I swear there were maple syrup notes to the black coffee. How pompous to say, fine. Still, that flavor was subtle (maybe even subliminal), and had a special quality to it. Also tried the Chicken and Waffles. Big win. The dark meat is moist and covered in a crispy breaded layer that is delicious and very easy to eat. Love the maple butter syrup, and the house special: whipped strawberry butter. I thought both of those additions (served on the side) would be too much for me, but I really liked them both. If that doesn't suit, you, each table has its own regular maple syrup. A ton of food for $20. The waffles are served kind of soft - almost cakey. Though flavorful, I prefer a bit of a crunch to my waffles, but no complaints. And, since I took home almost half of my order, they got some crunch when warmed in the toaster. For scientific purposes, we tried an order of their soufflé pancakes. Officially, Flipper's Pancake. Lovely, eggy, light and a tad sweet. Yum. Though there are many other varieties available (such as Fresh Fruit or Macha et al), I wanted to get a baseline first - and it was delicious. The whipped cream served with is a cozy complement that is so good. They fall apart easily (use the recommended two-fork method). Service was great. Outside is preferable as you're far enough from the street, and the air is good. Inside seems a bit loud, and it bit too cozy. Nice tunes playing on the patio, just loud enough to still have a conversation. A handful of parking spots off Fairfax on premises. Or, street parking. So happy to find Flipper's! 4.5 Stars. read more

We sat outside in the patio as the restaurant is on the smaller side. I missed the soufflé pancakes in Japan and these were soooo yummy 10/10 for sure! I literally ate everything on my plate! The cream is just enough sweetener for the pancakes no syrup needed! Fresh fruit and tadaaaa! My sister n-law had the egg Benedict and she dates it as 10/10. A hot pot of tea and cold coffee to the order and done deal! Everything was perfect! I highly recommend to park around the area and walk as there is limited parking space in the restaurant. We went after the whole morning rush so it was nice and sunny not too crowded. A must try for sure!!! read more

The best soufflé pancakes outside of Japan! Such an excellent breakfast spot -- it's well worth the drive to Fairfax from LAX. You can't beat the flavor and consistency of these pancakes. The restaurant has a bright yellow theme, with both indoor and outdoor seating, makes the whole experience feel cheerful and lively. Service can be a bit slow since the pancakes take about 20 minutes to prepare, but they're absolutely worth the wait! read more

My impression of the soufflé style pancakes is that they are quite eggy. Nonetheless, I'm happy to bring guests around to get the experience of trying it. The patio is very quaint and cute, but can lend itself to privacy. Ideal. Finally a place that serves a reasonable quantity of bacon as a side! The servers came around at good intervals. read more

Flipper's - Strawberry Banana Pancake - Pancakes Near Me - West Hollywood, California

Could be better- 2 stars for service because we were the only ones in the restaurant. Felt like we were an inconvenience. Had to wave them down for attention. Chicken & waffles: there was a hair on the waffle. I didn't say anything because the three workers were standing around chatting, so I moved it aside. Chicken was crispy. Croque madam: pesto chicken with the bechy sauce was good. We had a the side of fries that were truffle "oil" but you could barely taste the truffle. Very underwhelming. It comes with a side of mayo and ketchup. Flipper pancakes: they were delightful, super fluffy but took 45 min to come out. My first time here and wasn't left with a good impression. I would hesitate to come back. read more

I loved the outdoor seating, I could see how this place might be a popular place for brunch! We came right when they opened around 8:30 am on a Saturday. We walked right in and we were the first ones. It got busy closer to 10 am by the time we left. The food was great too, picturesque of course. Only some of their pancakes were available in the soufflé style btw! Our lovely server was really sweet, we went on the morning of 10/18/26! She was great :) read more

Such a unique spot for brunch - one that serves up souffle pancakes! I don't think I've ever had souffle pancakes before and they were as advertised - super fluffy and tasty. I didn't follow the directions on how to eat them because well... you just stuff your face with fluffy pancakes. They say it can take 20 minutes for your pancakes to come out but since everyone is ordering them, it felt like it came pretty quickly. We also got an order of the chicken & waffles and thought it was alright. The chicken looked better than it tasted. It appears to be super crispy but after taking a bite, the chicken wasn't as juicy as I hoped it would be. Most seating is outdoors, which is fine for a brunch spot in LA that has sunshine essentially year-round. Parking can be hit or miss but if you aren't able to snag one of the few spots out front, there is street parking available. read more

So you wanted to visit Cloud9 did you? This is the spot for you. Flipper's West Hollywood wonder is full of fluffy clouds. Impossibly lofty maple whipped cream, gravity defying soufflé pancakes, marshmallow topped hot cocoa with a heavenly toasty hue. Strawberries, blueberries, bananas, matcha, even the chicken and waffles hover slightly above the plate. For those dedicated brunch addicts, you'll find every surprising wonderful coffee beverage, lemonade sparkler, or espresso beverage at your fingertips. Everything has so much lightness in it! A happy yellow motif lends credence to the idea that if one desires to be happy they should 'assume the position' of happiness! Flippers strikes just the right tone. From the hostess to the servers to the guests themselves, everyone was so friendly, joyful and so kind to one another. Furry friends are welcome in the ample patio. read more

We went on Saturday around 11 AM for a brunch after running a 5K so we were absolutely starving!! Here is what we ordered: Chicken and Waffles: 8.5/10 I loved the butter spread it came with, such a nice complement to the waffles! My only thing was that the chicken was lukewarm, so it made me think that it's been sitting there for a while before being brought out. Other than that, everything else was great. Hashbrowns: 10/10 SO GOOD. Perfectly crispy, no complaints. Eggs Benedict: 9/10 We got the bacon and it paired SO WELL with the pancake at the bottom. I would absolutely order this again! All portions sizes were hefty and well reflected the price for it being West LA. I've had this spot bookmarked for a while so I'm super glad to have tried it. Street parking and there's a little parking lot, but it was filled when we came. read more

We came on a week day and there was only 1 couple dining, 10 minutes later another couple came in after us. We waited for 20 - 25 mins and our food wasn't served, so we asked how much longer, the other couple that showed up after us was served food first. Our food was luke warm, the salad didn't taste washed. You could taste the egg in the soufflé pancakes and the lemonade was too sweet for our liking. read more

What a great way to kick off our birthday weekend! We had this place bookmarked for a while and it did not disappoint. First, the ambience--SUPER CUTE! Second, the fluffy pancakes! Super soft like a soufflé that melted in my mouth with every single bite. So so good. We also shared an omelette with a side of potatoes and their portions are huge which was just perfect for us to share both savory and sweet dishes. Loved everything about this place. Quick note: They have a very small parking lot which fills up fairly quickly. Parking in this area can be a bit challenging especially since some spaces are permits only so be very careful and read the signs before leaving your car. If you drive around the block you can find metered parking. Happy eating! read more

Fluffy pancakes, what more can I say! Visited Flipper's for the first time in Tokyo and was excited to find out they have an LA location. We came for breakfast (right when they opened) so had no problem getting seated right away. We also parked in the small lot in front (free) - there's only a few spots so we were lucky. We had the fruit pancakes which came with a healthy dollop of fresh whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. 5/5 For the savory option, we tried the eggs Benedict with Canadian bacon. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with fluffy pancakes instead of English muffins! 4/5 While this flipper's location still offers a tasty meal, it is a bit on the pricer side (definitely not Japan prices.) fluffy pancakes range from $17-$19 and the eggs Benedict was $21. read more

I recently came here for brunch and ordered the strawberry pancake. The pancakes are Japanese-style soufflé pancakes, so they're very soft and fluffy. They melt in your mouth.

A friend of mine invited me to brunch and they chose so well! Flippers was such a pleasant surprise of THE fluffiest soufflé pancakes. So light in sweetness but in the best way possible.

How unfortunate, I love this place and always rave about it to my friends because I really do love their soufflé pancakes, so fluffy and yummy. However like many people here have mentioned the service is bad, like made me uncomfortable honestly, and it was slow over all. All the workers felt like they would be anywhere rather than at work which is fair but like not the energy you want on a Sunday brunch. Just left such a bad taste in my mouth, not sure if I'll come back again but yes the food is good, I just hope they up their service. read more

LOVE ! My family and I loved this place ! The wait time was a minute for 4 people but the wait was worth it. The place is small and very cute with yellow decor. We got a 2 double cheeseburgers, lemon ricotta pancakes, and the caramel banana chocolate pancakes for 4 people and they were all great :) The caramel banana chocolate pancakes were delicious, the soufflé pancakes and the creme were very light which was paired well with the heavier chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce. The lemon ricotta pancakes were great as well, the lemon was very subtle but there were candied lemon pieces that added a very nice citrus taste. It took us a little bit to get served but after our server came and we ordered and the food came out very fast which i was a little surprised about, I saw some reviews saying the food, specifically the pancakes take a while to get to the table but surprisingly they were the first to arrive. Overall a pleasant experience :) read more

Came here on a sunny Sunday afternoon and was immediately attended to by a server, so having no wait is a huge plus. After ordering, the food only took around 10 minutes to arrive. Another plus! Then I tried their matcha pancake and those pluses grew exponentially by 5! So at this point, with variable x = Flippers, the experience I had with the restaurant with those three conditions can be summarized by the equation of (x * 2) ^ 5, peer reviews desired. I also had the Green Tea Cheese Foam and Flipper's "Burger". The Green Tea Cheese Foam was a little too bitter for me, but I really ordered it because I wanted the cheese foam, so it wasn't exactly a disappointment since the cheese foam was, in fact, cheesin'. The Flipper's "Burger" was okay. The main protein was fried chicken, and it was a little bit bland to me and lacking the crunch that I normally expect from fried chicken. I added the quotation marks around burger because when did we start calling chicken sandwiches burgers? Isn't it only a burger if beef is the main protein? Anything else and it's just a sandwich, right? Right?! That being said, the Green Tea Cheese Foam and the "Burger" is probably not something I'd order again. But the Matcha pancake...that Matcha pancake was heavenly. It was so fluffy I thought I was eating a cloud. You know how the cuckoo bird from the Cocoa Puffs commercials is like when he gets a taste of the cereal? Yeah, that was me. Spinning eyes, hallucinations, all that jazz. The red bean paste and matcha cream made it even better. Felt like I was in another dimension eating that pancake. Or maybe I was just having a trip from a spiked pancake? Unlikely. Then again I've never done drugs so I wouldn't know what it's like. To wrap it all up, if you have to get anything from here, definitely get the Matcha Pancake. read more

Loved this place! I had bookmarked Flippers since it came to Fairfax and finally had an opportunity to do brunch on a sunny Saturday in January. Mind you, the parking lot is micro and only fits a few cars, so be prepared to look for street parking. Even close to the lunch hour, my boyfriend and I were seated immediately having the choice of a table inside (it's too crowded being so close to the serving counter) or dine al fresco, which we opted to under the heaters. Take your sunglasses, it's bright! But that's the vibe on beautiful, sunny days. Our waiter was great and brought us the classic flippers pancakes to start -- it's their signature dish, and a must! We gobbled it down - so light and fluffy, you can practically inhale it! Next, we had our delicious entrees which didn't disappoint. Mine being the two eggs any style being the very heart chicken and waffle! Theres so much to try here, it's worth coming back to the patio here and we will! read more

Ok, here's my confession. I live walking distance to this spot and have heard so many great things but am only now trying it. No idea what took me so long because it's legit! The first win for me is the menu options. You've got me at chicken and waffles plus soufflé pancakes. The cream that comes with those should be an entree. The chicken and waffles portion is nothing less but hefty. I was surprised to get not one, not two but three fried thighs! Yum! If only other places could deal like this. There tends to be a line on weekend mornings but nothing that should stop you. They have indoor and outdoor seating but there's something energetic about sitting under their bright yellow umbrellas. Really just screams WeHo. read more

I really wanted to love this place because it's super cute inside and the vibe is honestly nice. The flippers pancakes looked AMAZING both online and in person -- super fluffy and aesthetic -- but unfortunately they didn't taste good at all. They had this oily flavor, almost like you could taste the oil they used to cook them. They weren't sweet and didn't really have much flavor, which was disappointing because they looked so good. After that, I ordered the eggs Benedict with bacon and that was actually really good. Probably the best thing I had there. The milk tea though was super unsweetened and bland -- I expected way more flavor. The service was just okay. They were kind of rude for some reason, which made the experience less enjoyable. Overall, nothing really stood out to me in a great way, especially for the price. That's why I'm giving it a 2/5. It wasn't the worst, but it definitely didn't live up to the hype for me. read more
