HYPE? Yes. WORTH TRYING? Yes. COMING BACK? Hell Yes.
RED VELVET PANCAKES: Don't lie. You know of Babystacks because they're home to the red velvet pancakes. And red velvet is hipster. But that's ok, that's why I came here too. I'm not a lover of pancakes, but I am a lover of these. They're tastier than regular pancakes and topped with a house-whipped whipped cream and chocolate chips. And who can complain about a cream cheese "syrup"? Its painfully sweet, but in a good way. Order it alongside some savory items and you will have the perfect meal to please your palette. Get a full-stack if your hungry, short stack if you wanna nibble.
KAHLUA PIG BENEDICT: I love me some eggs benedict. And when its mixed up with some creativity I'm all for it. This was pretty good. Not great! But I was happy with how it tasted. The shredded pork and cabbage mixture could've used a little more flavor though. Spices are your friend Babycakes... Cheese and Egg yolk alone cannot flavor up a whole dish. I finished the leftovers the following morning. It tasted even better to-go once the flavors had settled and melded together!
VARIETY: The menu is quite large. All the usual breakfast combos and classics like loco moco are orderable. So many dishes look so delectable!
I'm very particular about paying mark-ups for breakfast food. But this time, the restaurant lived up to the hype. This new Spring Valley location isn't too far from my house so I'll be back!
