I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Babystacks is a great, consistent breakfast choice for anyone living in the Spring Valley area. I've been going here since they opened and I've tried most of the things on the menu (except the lunch stuff). They have tons of creative pancake flavors, many of which can be an upgraded side for other breakfast entrees. I recommend the red velvet, lemon ricotta, and the strawberry pancakes. The red velvet pancakes come with a cream cheese syrup and a whipped cream on top. The strawberry pancakes have a strawberry syrup, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream on top. Then the lemon ricotta is a thin, crepe-like pancake with lemons and powdered sugar.
I highly recommend getting a skillet or the adobo fried rice, then upgrading the side to your favorite babystack for an additional fee. It's worth it to have both if you're hungry then just take home any leftovers. The adobo fried rice is something I've never had at another restaurant. The fried rice is wrapped in a big omelette, probably like 3-4 eggs if I had to guess. The rice itself is flavorful and I love that you can taste a bit of vinegar in it with the meat.
The staff here is always friendly and attentive. They'll refill your water or coffee before you even need to flag them down. The prices are great, with most things hitting just under $10. When you're ready to go, they'll hand you the check and you go up to the front register to pay when you're done. They have a big parking lot in this plaza so there's more than enough space. Just try to avoid the weekend brunch crowd, when the wait can sometimes be 30+ mins. Other times, you'll be seated almost immediately. There's bathrooms in the back, always clean. And they have a very homey interior with TV's usually playing news or sports.
