| - There are a lot of things I like about this place-- vintagey turquoise walls, tabletops decorated with assorted antique letters, etc. Granted, a lot of the cool parts of this place lie in a somewhat formulaic "trendy places" formula, but I can't say I mind.
What I can say is that the sweet potato pancakes are ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! And huge. Definitely huge. They come covered in strawberries and accompanied by some kind of cinnamony whipped-cream magic that melts in your mouth and adds to the already fantastic flavors. There are layers upon layers of cinnamon, nutmeg, cool whipped cream, fresh strawberry, and of course sweet potato flavors. SOOO GOOD!
My biggest complaint about this place is what seems to be its constant temperature--HOT! I stopped in once while it was still relatively cold inside, and the searing heat inside was an extremely uncomfortable temperature when paired with my winter coat and sweater. The heat hit me almost instantly, so I know staying longer would have been equally uncomfortable. Summer is no different, either. Short Stack doesn't have any air conditioning, so you have to sort of drink lots of water and try hard not to move to compensate for that.
Overall, I'd return. The crazy lines that started upon opening seem to have died down, so this is a much more accessible place than at first.
