Double Dutch Pancake House in York

Popped in for some late afternoon food and to avoid the weather. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Value for money was really good and tasty. The atmosphere was a little quiet for us but not in a bad way. Thank you so much for the food and hot drinks!

Gluten free pancakes available. Really yummy mocha in big mug, they even give you a small gf cookie with the coffee. I thought the pancake was really yummy but a bit thin, so wasn't full.

Excellent food, place, staff, service and dietary care. Just perfect.

Great breakfast and were more than happy to cater for our 18 month old. Small venue but excellent pancakes and amazing coffee.

Very expensive- £12 for 1 thin crêpe with some toppings. Been about 3 times and I'm always left hungry afterwards. One crêpe and a hot chocolate plus service charge (which is automatically applied) was £20... Was also told that they only accept 1 card transaction per table which is pretty shocking in this day and age. That, plus the automatic service charge and portion size to price ratio is a thumbs down from me. Food tastes good, but nothing special. I don't understand the reviews that say "best pancake of my life". It's fine. Nothing more. Seasonal hot chocolate was good. I'd save your money and try Krep ronud the corner on shambles market instead. Tastier, more filling, and cheaper.

I was a little worried before we came here that like most dessert places there would only be a couple of vegan options, but they ended up having an entire menu! So many of their food and drinks can be made vegan and the staff were very knowledgable on what I could and couldnt have. I ended up going for a pistachio hot chocolate (which was out of this world) and a build your own pancake with peanut butter and butterscotch sauce. The pancakes were so light and presented so beautifully. The server we had was also so so lovely and made the experience even better!

I had to queue for more than 30 mins just to dine in but it was all worth it!!! Best pancake of my life!!! I enjoyed the food and drink I ordered. Service was very good too! I love how friendly and always smiling the young waitress that assisted me!

Loved it cute little place, my vegan gf had a massive choice and so did i so that was rare but loved it and will be back

Standing by the "Please wait here"sign then rudely told you can't stand there, wait outside, no indication of how long we'd be waiting. Went elsewhere.

Great service and wide selection of savoury and sweet pancakes. Will definitely visit again!

Amazing experience. Yummy Pancakes. The kids (and I) were delighted by the little white mice and my son was thrilled that his kinder egg came with a toy. My friend who is both dairy and gluten free was so impressed by the freedom and range of choices. She went for the seasonal special because usually she can't. I also went for the toffee apple special which was so good. My husband went for savoury which was also good. Now planning another trip to York so we can go again. Dank u wel!

Amazing pancakes, absolutely delicious. Very friendly staff.

Ordered 4 pancakes but charged 5? Didn't check the bill and paid. My fault?! Or because of tourist area?! Service charge is definitely NOT optional !!!

The food was brilliant and the service too! We shared a savoury pancake and a sweet one. Very delicious, but sweet one is VERY sweet, it would have been hard to finish a whole one. The coffees were nice too.

Charming little place with one of the best pancakes I’ve ever had!

Wow what a fantastic place for lunch. We had a fantastic selection of sweets and savoury gluten free pancakes to choose from and also they had specials that we could have as well. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area and need to be confident in gluten free awareness and understanding

Fantastic massive pancakes. Will fuel you for the day. Nice choice between savoury and sweet options. Staff are lovely and accommodating.

Plethora of choices, glad we came across this place

Perfect place for breakfast, with various pancake options available.

Short wait outside but well worth it. Staff were very kind and made sure everything was explained. There was a little guest book we filled out too. I had the protein pancakes which even had a tiny little fruit weight on them. The attention to detail was incredible. Very tasty with seasonal options too. Thank you for making my birthday special

The second time going. The service and food are always excellent. I had the gluten free pancake with bacon and maple syrup. There’s are so many options and most seemed to be able to be done gluten free.

We went here both mornings we wherr in York, and it was the best thing we ate all trip. I can't stop thinking about them

We all loved the pancakes and good service. Would have given 5 but I don’t think add on charges should be given for every alternative - price added for dairy free, gluten free pancake, and even a charge for decaf! Whilst I understand some ingredients cost a little more, when promoting yourself proudly as vegan and gluten free, why not average these raw ingredient costs into all pricing rather than make those who don’t have a choice pay more (and more than just the raw ingredient cost at that, eg £1 for gf flour for one pancake)

The pancakes were great, but the waitresses were very pushy for us to order and also to pay. Fairly sure there was an eye roll thrown in too for good measure. Didn’t feel very welcome as a customer and not sure we will be back because of this.

Lovely pancakes for my daughter’s birthday breakfast - loved the note books on the tables which allow you to write notes and see notes from previous customers. Definitely visit again!

I opted for the toffee apple Autumn special aka pancake with baked apples, cinder toffee, toffee sauce and ice cream! Absolutely delightful! The pancake tasted so so good, with crispy edges and a soft middle. The apples were perfectly cooked, and everything fit together nicely! Props to whoever comes up with the specials :) My friend had the Simply Dutch savoury pancake and also said it was tremendous! The service was super quick, and everyone was incredibly nice!! It was a fun little treat to be able to watch the pancakes get made fresh. The décor and overall vibe was great :D

This is a must visit. The food is to die for and the service is amazing. Sometimes there is a queue but it's easy to see why. Great for all occasions.

We arrived in York looking for a cozy place with good food. We found it here, excellent flavor, the portions are large and the staff very attentive

Great pancakes, nice coffee, friendly service, good vibe. Recommended

Do gluten free, youngest over the moon

Just visited Double Dutch and had the best pancake. What made it extra special is the fact it was gluten free and my needs were taken very seriously, even had a gf biscuit with my latte! Thank you, we'll be back next time we're in York

Queues for quite a while here but all pleased with our pancakes. We are a mix of savoury and sweet and also 2 of our party were gluten free and were well looked after.

Very very nice food. Great for gluten free too. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is we had a bit of a long wait. Worth it though.

Delicious food options, both sweet and savory. Cute decor. They also handle gluten free orders with ease so it’s a great place for celiacs.

Lovely little pancake house, friendly staff. nice to be able to see the pancakes being made and prepared.

Good food, great ambiance, and best of all, an excellent service crew! I opted to remove the 10% optional service charge, and the team didn’t give me any frowns. I would gladly pay if I were in a better financial position, but I just can’t manage it at the moment. I truly appreciate their kindness. Seating on the ground floor is quite limited, and I’m not sure about upstairs, so try to come at off-peak hours to avoid a queue. Dog-friendly!

Good pancakes with nice ambiance and service. Loved flat white. It’s £5.50 afternoon deal where you get pancakes with one topping and coffee.

Never realised the Dutch did such great pancakes to be honest.

Every time I have visited the food and service has been top notch. They cater for people who are gluten free and vegan and have plenty of choices for both. One of my favourite places to visit for a little breakfast or brunch treat.

Popped in here for lunch off chance, lovely little place. Friendly & welcoming staff, chilled out atmosphere and loads of options. Nearly everything can be made gluten free which is a nice change, the pancakes are lovely. If you're in the area give it a go, really nice.

The best vegan milkshake I have had. We had a milkshake, nachos and a Nutella pancake. Everything was vegan and DELICIOUS 10/10

This is the 2nd time we’ve attended here. The first was a chance as we were in York, the second was because I loved the vegan milkshakes so much that I came back to York for that alone. The biscoff and white chocolate raspberry are 10/10. The sweet and savoury pancake are also brilliant. The staff are kind and I never need to doubt if they’ve listened and made sure everything is vegan as they are very on it (lots of large establishments have a history of forgetting different milks or ice creams!). Support independent 🫶🏼

The most incredible pancakes! Lots of choice, including a dedicated vegan menu and the option to make your own. We did have to wait around 10 minutes for a table but it was worth it!

Had an excellent meal here as a quick stopoff on a day out. There was a queue outside as the place is pretty small but there are 6 or 7 tables upstairs so it moved quickly. My son and I both went for sweet pancakes, so not really a "meal" but a super lovely sweet treat. The milkshakes are good too, but my advice would be either pancake OR milkshake as they're also super sweet. Both are delicious. Service was fantastic to say it was so busy - I couldn't see our server's name or I'd leave a compliment here. Cheap and delicious, definitely recommended!

Smokey Dutch + Frankenshake, so delicious.

Really coeliac friendly,delicious food(also for people without dietary requirements)

I came in for some food with my partner and witnessed the chef having an uncomfortable and rude disagreement with one of the staff members. It was very unprofessional towards the staff and customers to have an outburst like that. The food was good but the atmosphere was ruined by the chef’s attitude.

First visit here and it was great , staff were very polite and friendly, quirky little place, lots of options on fhe menu, our pancakes were delicious, will definitely return.

Loved this place so many savoury and sweet pancake options. Caters for gluten free and vegan. Staff really friendly and great atmosphere.

Absolutely love it here, staff always friendly

The food was amazing I had the chocolate pancakes and to my surprise they were delicious .

The pancakes taste so good! The staff is lovely and great atmosphere!

Delicious food and great vegan options.

Super tasty and pretty inexpensive for York. The best part is that they are gluten free. My family ate here a few times and we never regretted it.

What an amazing little find! Very friendly staff, tasty food and decently priced. What more could you want? Always nice to support an independent business too!

This place is so delicious! The staff is so sweet and they're very allergen-aware! They even have gluten free biscuits with the coffee! The full Dutch was our favorite!

Very quirky little pancake house, great atmosphere and lovely staff! Had the most amazing gluten free pancakes with vegan toppings, with a vegan salted caramel milkshake! Hands down one of the best pancakes I’ve had in a long time, not just great taste but amazing presentation! Will definitely return next time I’m in York!

Me and friends came here as they cater to gluten intolerance and we loved it! Really tasty pancakes and was very nice inside. We were served by a young girl named Rebekah and she provided great service and was lovely! Will definitely come back

Fantastic place for a delicious pancake! Brilliant gluten free options including a gluten free custard cream with my hot drink - a really special and rare attention to detail which was greatly appreciated and left me feeling impressed and included. I'm not sure this has ever happened to me before! Most pancake options can be made with a gluten free batter alternative so there is plenty of choice for coeliacs here. The pancake itself (apple cinnamon) was absolutely beautiful and surprisingly filling. Also gorgeous décor! So many lovely Dutch trinkets around the place and beautiful crockery to eat from. The space is also larger than it first appears with a full upstairs seating area. Can't wait to return again soon! Thank you!

Great place to eat, The pancakes were sooooo tasty and moreish. The staff were really friendly too. We sat outside at the back and it was a very quirky and perfect for the day.

Such friendly welcoming staff and a whole vegan pancakes menu. Absolute heaven.

As a Dutch person I can confirm the pancakes were much like I remember them from the Netherlands (maybe a bit thinner, but the taste was on point!). The place itself is cozy enough, and I would normally give this place 4 or 5 stars, but... my partner has coeliac disease and they said they can cater for that as the do GF pancakes and clean the pans in between. However, we were sat next to the open kitchen and noticed they didn't clean their pans well enough in between to get rid of all the gluten (just boiling water and a quick wipe). For most with a gluten intolerance that will be good enough, yes, but not for people with coeliac disease. They said it would be fine but my partner (who's had coeliac for a long time and works in medicine) explained that it wasn't. In the end I had my pancake, as did my son (we both loved it), but my partner didn't as they explained they could not clean their pans more than they already did. The overall experience was therefore a negative one. If they explained their process and mentioned it was OK for people with a gluten intolerance but not with coeliac disease that would have been fine (not everyone can cater to everyone after all), but this was not OK. Customers need to be able to make informed decisions when it comes to allergens.

I took my granddaughter for a day trip to York. On our stroll around we came across this fabulous "Dutch Pancake ". Walking in the ambience is cosy, you feel at home relaxed. A book on your table to write some 'double dutch' if wanted to. Service friendly and helpful. Food, every mouthful delicious and moreish. Value for money for sure. We didn't need to use the loo, but from all apperience I would be sure it would be very clean. Not built for wheelchair disability.

Such a cosy place to shelter from the rain. The staff were so friendly and chatty and the food was delicious. Will definitely be returning next time I'm in York!

Good crepes-like pancakes In the form of pizza

An excellent way to start the day with a difference

Lovely !!!!! And fab gluten free

Great place to eat ! Dietary requirements met!

Wonderful family run eatery - delicious food and drinks with great customer service - warm & friendly yet professional. Gluten free and vegan options available. Fantastic kids menu too!!

perfect food and service. we ordered the banana with yoghurt sweet pancake and the mushroom spinach with truffle oil savoury pancake and they were absolutely perfect. 10/10 would recommend coming here!

Pancakes done well! No need for a massive menu as there are plenty of options. The savoury options are definitely a winner.

I was so excited to try out this place and it fully lived up to my expectations! The staff were so lovely and welcoming. Once I was seated I struggled sooooo much to decide what to order as the vegan options were sooooo vast, I was overwhelmed to have so much choice as a vegan PLUS they allow you to fully customise/ build your own toppings if you like so 🙈 I settled for one of the savory ones on the menu but switched out one of the ingredients which they were more than happy to do for me. It came pretty fast! The pancake itself was crepe style, so very thin and not super filling, but very tasty. The toppings were sooo generous and the flavours all went together very well. I was very tempted to order a sweet one after or come back again but ran out of time unfortunately! I will definitely be back again in future if I can. Do note that they add a 10% service charge on all orders, which is usually expected anyways but just a heads up.

My daughter and I had one savoury pancake and one dessert, and they were amazing. The staff took really good care of us and were so relaxed, even if they could see the queue outside. I can definitely recommend their ham and pineapple pancake.

Great little place with really good gluten free options. Service was very fast too.

A great find, this restaurant serves a huge range of freshly made savoury and sweet pancakes. They have gluten free flour, and so can make pretty much all of the pancakes GF too, of course omitting the odd ingredient (e.g. oreos) that would not be GF. They actually have both maple syrup and traditional Dutch stroop (looks like treacle in colour, really thick, deep and intense flavour). The GF Amsterdamer with Stroop hit the spot. Unfortunately the Belgian waffles can't be made gluten free, although they looked spectacular and the portion was huge. Perhaps in the future these could be GF too, that would be awesome. The milkshakes are a meal in themselves too.

Great discovery in the city of York

Great place to have breakfast, very well priced and lovely food.

Cute and quirky. Fantastic ranges both meat and vegan (the vegan menu is HUGE). Everything cooked very fresh to order. Service relaxed and friendly. Price reasonable but the pancakes are not terrifically filling so I would recommend a (lovely looking) dessert, which pushes the price up. Kids meal deal is brilliant, cute and very very reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is in an old building kitted out in kitsch Dutch ornaments. Not a terrifically large amount of tables so expect to queue at peak times.

Wow! We went to bed in a chain hotel in York which didn’t offer breakfast, so chances were we would wake up there too! A quick search using our favourite internet search tool flagged up this place as a potential breakfast venue. We arrived 8:57 am exactly - opening hours from 9 am - and we already had to queue ( but that’s England for ya ;-) ) In the three minutes we waited more joined the queue behind us - and we knew we were on to a winner! At 9 am exactly we were kindly greeted and directed to a table. We were offered menus, “vegan or standard?” and picked the standard menu. It was hard to choose, but when you have 40 years of experience you learn that you cannot have both a massive pancake and a massive milkshake, so we managed to settle on something reasonable. I had a breakfast pancake with yoghurt and fruit compote while my sister had a waffle with strawberries and Nutella. It was prepared right next to us, it was quick and O-M-G was it delicious!! Washed down with a berry smoothie which was very fresh and yummy too! We didn’t linger, because the queue for this Dutch delicacy was ever growing and we wanted everyone to have an opportunity to have their tastebuds tickled by the expertly prepared yummyness! Waking up in York? Set the alarm five minutes earlier to avoid too much queueing and get yourself down to Double Dutch Pancake House!

Lovely atmosphere, great service, delicious food. Really enjoyed the decor, they've done a good job on their theme.. I also liked the punny staff t-shirts. Double Dutch Puncakes is overall a good place to stop and have lunch at, whether you like savoury or sweet pancakes.

Ate here this morning as wanted to get some breakfast before ending our weekend in York. Pancakes were gorgeous, and loved the quirky decor! Staff were super kind and friendly, and everything was such a decent price. Particularly enjoyed my 'Biscoffee' which was possibly the best coffee I've ever had! Would definitely recommend!

A really wonderfully unique little place. Myself, partner and twin boys left fully satisfied.

amazing pancakes. the pancakes themselves are good to have even on their own, so sweet, perfect consistency. good size. they don’t overload the pancakes with toppings and they provide a lot of ice cream on the side, for a good price. and the ice cream was really good quality. customer service very good, nice inside

Pancakes were good and atmosphere great. We had a baby and asked the staff if we could scramble 1 egg and we will pay whatever and they said no… Also, we came in and the staff was on us immediately about throwing away our small takeaway coffee cup from the hotel while we broke down our buggy. We ordered coffee and we were going to anyway. Overall - less than inviting service resulted in just OK experience!

The Amsterdammer pancake was one of the tastiest things I've ever eaten. Fantastic to have so many gluten free options too. Loved the great tea selection. Unique little place. Highly recommend.

Literally the most beautiful and yummy pancakes I have ever had. I am Gluten Free and was blown away! The hot chocolates were also amazing

Amazing food and incredibly friendly and lovely staff, thank you!

So great!!! Service was so fast and lots of vegan options♡ Cosy and lovely, great value for money!

Nice place, great good but anywhere that adds a 10% service charge isn't worth revisiting. Tipping should be at the discretion of the customer, especially when some people with social anxiety can't exactly feel comfortable with asking said charge to be removed. You earn a tip for excellent service, not doing the job you're already to paid to do anyway.

I ordered pistachio latte and grapefruit cooler, which was okay Then I ordered a salty pancake and a sweet pancake. The portion was too much and I was a bit full. It is worth mentioning that we arrived at 3:36 and thought it was about to close and we could not place an order, but the waiter was still very attentive to the reception👍👍

The best pancake I have ever tried!!!

I don't know how to explain it. this place is just so good. (the mouse on the stair always gets me) It's just so GOOD! The milkshakes are amazing (I like the Malteser one).

My wife and I decided to eat here for Brunch. The queue was short, (only 3 groups ahead of us) but moved rather slowly. Its a small venue and its incredibly popular, so not terribly surprising. The staff brought out mini stroops for the queue which was very nice. When our turn came, we were seated near the door. This seat made my wife and I uncomfortable, we were in direct view of those queuing outside. We felt like those behind us were leering at us. Just not really the vibe we wanted. It took the servers a good 10 or so mins to take our order. There was a menu on the door, we'd decided on our order when we sat down. The staff were polite, I cannot fault them at all. The food arrived. The pancakes were much thinner than the ones I've had in the Netherlands. I'd say almost too thin. A segment of the bottom of mine was burnt and tasted of char. The rest of the pancake was very good, a good ratio of toppings too. I ordered a peanut butter milk shake. I was highly disappointed with it. It had a weird artificial peanut taste. It lacked the richness or true peanut butter. Perhaps it was made with some kind of flavouring syrup. I wouldn't get it. The consistency was great, just the flavour was off and kept repeating on me all day. My wife loved her dish, I think I just had bad luck.

Savoury pancakes followed by dessert pancakes. So much fun and the menu is exciting and the staff are fabulous. We loved it!

Queued outside for about ten minutes but it was definitely worth it. Great selection of toppings and they also do gluten free bases. So many tasty treats to try, we really were spoilt for choice. We had a lovely table upstairs in front of the window which was great for people watching. I had the BBC savoury pancake with a GF base. The bacon was crisped to perfection. My husband had the nachos which also lovely and warm.

Wow, what an amazing place. The service was warm, friendly and efficient. The very tasty pancakes my family and I had were all presented with care and finesse. A lovely treat for breakfast.

Best pancake 🥞 house in the WORLD

If you walk past and there's no queue outside, run don't walk!! Even if there is a queue, it's definitely worth the wait. Gluten free and vegan pancakes are available. Even better, vegan milkshakes that taste as good as the dairy ones! The service is always lovely here and food is always prepared fresh. The rooms you can sit in are lovely and with quirky details too. Both savoury and sweet pancakes are tasty and well priced. Drinks are also nice and with a nice variety.

Such yummy pancakes, excellent gluten free options. Lovely friendly staff

It was a very pleasant experience with lots of options on savory or sweet pancakes. And they can make any hot drinks/ food vegan. Reasonably priced as well and brilliant customer service
