Pancake Cottage - AVALON

Total score: 54/100 Nice variety for a breakfast. Micro ratings Location: 8/10 Interior design: 4/10 Cleanliness: 5/10 Macro ratings Food (flavour and presentation): 13/30 Service: 13/20 Price: 11/20 Conclusion: In all honesty the food didn?t look soappealing, but the flavours were fulfilling. We expected monopolistic pricing due to it being one of the only restaurants openat that time. However we were pleasantly surprised with a window seat and decent prices. Biscuits and gravy were interesting tosay the least and arguably looked the worst. The largest negative was the hash brown wad burnt and tasted horrid. Staff werevery nice and helpful though.

Bestie and I got to Catalina Island hungry! We put our names on the waiting list when we got to the island as you can't make prior reservations and walked around the shops in the surrounding area for 15 minutes. We then came back and were seated after afew more minutes. We had eggs, bacon, French toast and biscuits. The meal was all yummy. Place was packed and is large.

Ordered the build your own omelet and got Irish coffees. Portions were big and food was delicious. Conveniently not too far from the Catalina Express docks, so I got to enjoy a nice breakfast before I departed.

Popular spot that can get busy really quick. Wait time for a table of 2 was about 20 minutes. No wait at the bar but is first come first serve. Employees are friendly. We sat at the bar. The seating was a little tight so it's a challenge to get aroundpeople but once you get seated your good. Food took about 10-15 minutes to get. Decent portions for the price. I woulddefinitely frequent this spot.

1st thing you need to do is try the Buffalo Milk (island drink). The steak was prepared well, the omelet was meaty and the pancakes were full of flavor. My only suggestion is to have jam/jelly available.
