About Stack & Still

Stack & Still is a pancake restaurant at 83 Hanover St in Edinburgh, open daily. The menu is built around choice, so diners assemble their own plate from the listed options, which add up to nearly 12 million possible combinations. Buttermilk pancakes serve as a base, and a mini fry can go on top for a savoury finish. The Oreo and banana pancake stack covers the sweet side. Guests who would rather skip the decision can order from the preset Signature dishes, which come in both savoury and sweet versions. The kitchen also lists an English breakfast alongside the pancakes. Dog owners can bring their dogs along.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers come for the pancakes, above all the build-your-own stacks, which several describe as delicious and beautiful, with ripe strawberries singled out as a highlight. Close behind are the preset plates: one reviewer calls the big breakfast "basically a breakfast on a pancake," another praises the Oreo and banana, and a third built a stack with pulled pork, smashed avocado, fried eggs and chipotle mayo. Someone who added a mini fry to buttermilk pancakes was glad they did, and gluten-free options earn a mention. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and welcoming, and one server is remembered for recognizing returning customers. The recurring caveat is richness. Toppings are generous and the pancakes are described as rich and heavy, so a few advise ordering just one or two rather than three. One reviewer calls it a bit pricier, though others say they got their money's worth. Another found they had to ask for the check and do some math to split the bill. One reviewer valued the clear service charge on the menu, which can be removed if preferred.

“A delicious pancake spot with some of the nicest employees in all of Edinburgh. Definitely wouldn't recommend getting 3 pancakes as they are quite rich and heavy. The pancakes and toppings themselves though are 10/10! A bit on the pricier side but worth the price imo!”

“There were 2 of us. I ordered my own creation (savory) while my partner ordered the English breakfast from the menu. All the options were excellent. The atmosphere was phenomenal, and the waiters were always attentive. Highly recommended. Excellent value for money and with good gluten-free options. Up there with the best breakfast meals I've had in Edinburgh!”

“The pancakes at Stack & Still are some of the best I’ve ever had. They were perfectly made. Soft, fluffy, and full of flavour, allowing me to savour every bite and appreciate each ingredient. The strawberries were definitely a highlight for me. They were perfectly ripe and sweet, with none of that slight bitterness you sometimes get. Their freshness made the pancakes even more enjoyable. Stack & Still is definitely worth another visit the next time I’m in Edinburgh!”

“Nice little breakfast/brunch place They have a few preset options or you can build your own. The portions are quite generous for toppings so would advise if you want to try more toppings to have just 1 or 2 pancakes. Tried the big breakfast was very good, basically a breakfast on a pancake. The Oreo and banana also did not disappoint. The third stack was build with pulled pork smashed avocado fried eggs and chipotle mayo. Waitress was also very welcoming. Would recommend to come a meal sometime during your trip.”

“Stack and Still was our favorite breakfast stop on our study abroad trip!! We are from the US and were excited to try pancakes over here in Scotland! When I tell you these pancakes are a work of art I mean it. Not only are they delicious but they're also beautiful! Dylan was our server and was a joy to meet. He even remembered us the second time we came in! Quick with our food and drinks and a smiling face. The overall vibe of the restaurant is very cozy and would be a great spot to meet with friends and catch up. Was always a great start to our morning. The only thing that tripped us up was that you have to specifically ask for the check and have to do a bit of math if you are trying to split the bill. Give the Stack & Still a try if you're in the neighborhood!”

“If you're in Edinburgh and craving pancakes, look no further than Stack & Still! This place specializes in pancakes and offers a great "build your own" menu. We ordered the buttermilk pancakes, choosing the short stack topped with fresh strawberries and bananas, and added a drizzle of maple syrup. The flavors were delightful! The variety of toppings and flavors available makes it easy to customize your perfect pancake experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, adding to the overall pleasant atmosphere. One thing I appreciated was the clear service charge on the menu, which you can remove if you prefer. Overall, it’s a great spot for pancake lovers!”

That’s a different plate of pancakes every day for over 35,000 years! If you’d rather leave the creations up to our chefs, we have a mouth-watering selection of ‘Signature’ dishes for you to choose from. Go savoury or go sweet, it’s up to you!”
