Absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed our breakfast at Belly Cake Pancake House. Everything was…read morefresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, especially with the bananas and syrup, and the eggs and home fries were so good. The portions were generous, and we left completely satisfied. It's always nice finding a breakfast spot where the food actually tastes as good as it looks! The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and we had a great experience from start to finish. We will definitely be back and are already looking forward to trying more of the menu. Highly recommend Belly Cake Pancake House for a great breakfast or brunch!

I saw a massive line here one day and decided to come check it out with my gf. Immediately I can…read moresee why. the place was small but we got seated quickly. The workers were super nice and took our orders far as well. Probably because of how busy it was the food took forever to come, however the food was worth the wait. Matcha burlee stack 10/10 There was a matcha flavor but it was not over powering the pancake wasn't too cakey it was fluffy and had a slight crisp to them. The sauce was not too sweet at all and the burlee didn't have that burnt flavor. This is my new favorite pancake spot. I'll definitely be coming more for try the other pancakes. truffle mushroom egg toast 7/10 Maybe the pancakes wowed us too much but this felt pretty normal nothing amazing just regular eggs mushroom with truffle oil on sour dough. It's a good portion size too. Green doctor 10/10 This was so good healthy but you don't taste the healthy. the consistency was not too thickly but it was not watery. Overall this place was amazing i would definitely recommend coming here for brunch. I would say the pancakes are a must get. If it was not for the long wait for food. Also they did mess up my drink once but forgivable since it was so tasty. otherwise, they would be a 5/5.

This was a great and welcome addition to the neighborhood when it opened a few years ago. It has…read morebecome a regular spot for me. They serve Latin American food along with classic diner fare (sometimes with a Latin American flair), and the food is always high-quality and delicious. I have nothing but faith in this kitchen, and they also take great care to accommodate my food allergies. The waiters - Chewy, Ivan, Jacob, and Jose - are consistently accommodating and charming. I think this is truly one of the best places to eat in the neighborhood, and I often bring friends here, and everyone I have introduced to this place has liked it. Highly recommended.

The interior was cozy and old-school with beautiful stained glass pendant lamps. They didn't have specialty coffee drinks, so I just got a Cold Brew with oat milk. The three of us ordered a bunch of food to share - the Honey Butter Pancakes, Sam's Tuna Melt, Matzoh Ball Soup, and a side of Crispy Chicken. The famous pancakes really were delicious! I loved the lemon zest and fluffy texture. But the Tuna Melt honestly stole the show for me! It was easily the best Tuna Melt of my life, and normally I never crave them. This one was just so well-crafted and I loved the crunchy salt & vinegar chips inside. The Matzoh Ball Soup was also solid and the Crispy Chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. We definitely over-ordered when it came down to quantity, but the meal was fantastic!

Had a reservation for this place at 9am on a Thursday, was really excited due to the hype. Got…read morethere around 8:50am and there was a huge line at the door with no proper delineation or signage of how someone with a reservation should approach the staff or form a line or anything. Was very confusing and didn't make sense to stand in the huge line if you have a reservation. I walked in (the door was open and a few employees were standing around). I approached someone holding an iPad who looked like the host and asked what I was supposed to do. They said to stand in the long line. I mentioned I had a reservation, but they insisted I should stand in the long line. I was worried standing in the line was going to be a mistake because once the clock strikes 9am and they start letting people in we'd be all the way at the back of the line and get missed or not hear any announcements about people with reservations (it's very loud in the area, especially due to a train passing by every few minutes). So I make my wife stand in the line just in case and I stand near the front in case they make an announcement for people with reservations. Guess what, the clock strikes 9am and they make no announcement or anything. They just start taking people waiting in line (who don't have a reservation) with no regard for people who made a reservation. I had to interrupt the host at the podium for them to even notice me standing nearby and mention I had a reservation. The host then kind of had some attitude, but we were seated. I was so surprised that after being open for so long now and being so hype they don't know how to properly manage their reservations. Or maybe they just don't care?? Well if I listened to the employee that told me to wait in the line, I would have totally missed the boat and been disappointed. They would have just let in all the people waiting in line and the restaurant would have been full by the time I got to the front. I'm glad I had a backup plan in this case, but I was so disappointed in their way of handling the situation. Basically if you have a reservation, especially at 9am when they open, DON'T wait in the long line and miss your reservation. Wait by the podium and interrupt them when they start taking people from the line and mention you have a reservation. Unfortunately they didn't do a good job of having a proper process for reservations :( Super sad especially because of all the hoops you have to jump through to even get lucky enough to make a reservation via RESY. Once we sat down, the waitstaff there was not very friendly or welcoming either. The guy that took our order was the one that have me the wrong information to stand in line. He even had attitude while taking our order and we felt rushed. As for the food, of course we wanted to try the famous pancakes. I will say, for the novelty they are worth trying, especially if you like the honey flavor. I personally like the maple syrup flavor more. The texture of the pancake is super unique, it's dense and fluffy, but the edges have a nice crisp. Was happy that they served it hot and fresh. But they are inconsistent on how much syrup they put on the pancake. Mine was swimming in syrup and my wife's had a moderate amount. I would have preferred less syrup as it was way too much the way they served it to me. Overall, not my favorite pancake ever, but I understand why people may enjoy it. 3/5 stars. The egg sandwich we got was pretty pathetic though. The flavors were super basic and it just felt clumpy and heavy. 2/5 stars. We also got brewed coffee and asked for half and half, but were given milk instead. Coffee ultimately didn't taste good at all. What diner doesn't have half and half for their coffee?? 1/5 stars. Overall, I'd say there are better places for breakfast in NYC with better service. Come here to try the pancake if you must, but beware they don't really care about you as a customer.

The…read moreweather was pretty nice and since we were walk ins, we did have to wait a bit for an outdoor table. We started with the seasonal mule with passion fruit. It was balanced and refreshing, but pretty similar to most mules. For an app, we had the halloumi fries and they were really good, especially if you are a halloumi fan. The portion is definitely on the smaller side, so if you are sharing with a group I would order more than one. For my entree, I had the Turkish eggs and loved them. They were really well seasoned and the staff was kind enough to let me swap the bread for their biscuits. I had heard great things about the biscuits and they did not disappoint. My partner had the Chicken Not Waffles and I stole some of his cinnamon butter for my biscuit. So good! I also took a bite of his pancake and really liked that too. The staff was incredibly nice to our pup and I really appreciated that, especially since she can be a little overly friendly. They brought her a big bowl of water and just seemed genuinely happy to have her there. Overall, we really enjoyed Queen's Room. Great food, incredibly friendly service, and a nice brunch spot if you want to bring your pup along. Would definitely come again!

They also have a temporary shed for the summer, for additional outdoor seating. For my meal, I had a pancake burrito, and it was better than I could have expected. The pancake was so fluffy and tasty, with a hint of crisp on the outside and a nice chewy texture overall. The savory components of the burrito worked surprisingly well with the pancake exterior, making for a medley of sweet, salty, and umami that went really well together in every bite. Our server was excellent, can't say enough about how good the brunch was. I definitely recommend this place!

I wish the drinks were a little stronger but they were good nonetheless. The server was great. The place gave an old school save by the bell vibes very cute. They have happy hour starting at 3pm during the week. The bathrooms are clean. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We went on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't packed at all.

We've tried several dishes, including the shakshuka, ranchero scramble, Whisk scramble, and the black garlic burger, and every single one has been delicious. Honestly, we haven't had anything here that we didn't love. The quality is consistently great, portions are generous, and everything is packed with flavor.

Got the Creme Anglaise souffle pancakes - with fresh fruits, very light and fluffy, not too sweet.

The soufflé pancake was unfortunately quite mushy, without much of a bite to it. The salmon was fresh but the cuts were on the thinner side, so it was decent but nothing extraordinary. The aesthetics look nice and welcoming, but the service was more cold and distanced; would definitely improve the mood if the servers were more social and friendly! Our server forgot one of our drinks, and didn't ask if we wanted our lattes sweetened or not, so we asked for simple syrup to sweeten our drinks ourselves. To our surprise, we were charged for simple syrup as shown on the receipt as a custom item...never have I been to any restaurant or cafes where you had to pay to sweeten your own drink. Unfortunately, this cheapened the experience and made it feel like you're being nickeled and dimed by a pretty restaurant. Not sure if this is the restaurant's/owner's rules or just the server being incompetent/not efficiently trained. We dined at 2pm on September 9th, 2026, as to not get other servers in trouble! Overall, Vert Frais definitely has a lot of potential of being an amazing Japanese brunch spot, so I hope this review can help them reach their truest potential!
