The Shiny Pancake got its start as a tiny street cart, but it didn’t take long for their bevy of crepes to take off in popularity. Now, they sport eight brick and mortar locations, but still have a cart right on the Burlington, VT waterfront. That popularity alone should tell you something about the quality of the eats here.

The menu is all about the Parisian classic, whipping up light, airy crepes for every time of day. Early risers can sink their teeth into breakfast crepes that pair staples like fried eggs and ham with decadent fixings like basil-sunflower seed pesto. Stop by midday and treat yourself to a myriad of lunch crepes stuffed with everything from braised pork to sweet Italian sausage. There are even vegan options so the meat-free won’t go hungry plus a whole menu of sweet crepes for your sugar fix. Drooling yet? Then we have good news. The Shiny Pancake caters, so have ‘em out to your next get-together.
