Bryan LeeAugust 9, 2014Danish pancake is awesome!!! The special paula's pancake with fresh fruit, also, if you are coming from LA, u must leave early to avoid long line waiting, usually about 30-45 mins waiting.
BommyJanuary 21, 2019Get the danish pancake with strawberries and salty, greasy bacon. Pancakes are more like crepes. A party of two can be seated in 15 minutes. For everyone else, expect a 2 hour wait.
Roger L.March 28, 2019The pancakes are delicious! Let's first make this clear: there is a difference between Dutch & Danish! 2 different countries! Breakfast was amazing, sat outside with kids & doggy. Very friendly staff!
Rebecca BalnisSeptember 16, 2019Always get here earlier than you were initially planning, and always get your Dutch baby pancake with powdered sugar and lemon.
Naomi ZanjanipourJune 8, 2013Sit at the corner table....best homey feel... The pancakes are humongous !!! Eggs Florentine is great if you like spinach! Perfect breakfast spot & Leah, our waitress, brings many smiles!!!
Whitney FishmanOctober 22, 2015Danish pancakes are the way to go. Get the apple cinnamon compote to really make it a treat.
Edgar RoyJanuary 2, 2019Try the danish sausage and danish pancakes! Also be prepared to wait as it is crowded. Friendly and quick service and prices are pretty good.
Vincent LaceyJanuary 20, 2014They're known for the danish pancakes, which are thinner than usual, however, I preferred the danish sausage with hash browns--both pretty unique--and eggs. Fresh squeeze OJ on the cheap too!
KellyApril 5, 2015There's a reason everyone's waiting to go here when there are emptyish places all around. Awesome breakfast food, efficient and friendly service.
Rob ArceAugust 20, 2016There's a waiting list, put your name on it. If you just stand by the "Please wait to be seated sign" outside, you will get passed up by those that know the system. Find the list, get your name on it.- Chris ReeseMay 25, 2018The pancakes are so thin and light, and they are delicious! Fantastic way to start the day!
Justin OrdovezaJune 13, 2016This is place is a madhouse for breakfast so expect to wait. The Dutch pancakes are thinner and more like a Crêpe. The Dutch sausage was seasoned without being heavy. Outdoor seating available.
Audra HaskellJuly 3, 2013In warmer weather, best to eat inside if you don't want to be pestered by flies. They keep a bussing stand of dirty dishes out in the sun and it attracts more flies than many an outdoor patio.
M WJanuary 16, 2011Great food, worth the weekend wait! Danish pancakes are divine. Friendly staff, fresh squeezed orange juice! All you could want in a breakfast place and more. Must visit in Solvang!
JamesMarch 18, 2013Love this place! Great breakfast, great staff! I only make it to Solvang once a year, but I have never missed a visit to Paula's when I do go!
Ricky MarJuly 28, 2013Get the Danish pancake combo with Danish sausage. The pancakes are thin like crepes. Delicious!!!
Jackie Shmackie💋September 5, 2011Delicious food definitely worth the long wait. Must have Danish B'fast combo. Waitresses have issues memorizing orders. Overall a great experience.
Toné MApril 2, 2018Overall it’s ok, pancakes were crepe style just big and thin. Had the Danish sausage hard to describe the taste but it was ok. If the wait is long to eat, IMO you’ll be ok finding somewhere else.
- Jayne NgoNovember 13, 2010I had to stop eating to leave a tip. It's that good! Loved the pancakes, corned beef hash, the sausage, hashbrowns, biscuit with muffin! Everything is so yummy :)
Pavan KulkarniJuly 3, 2016the omlettes and pancakes were usual, mimosas and the outdoor patio experience is good.
Ricardo AyalaDecember 29, 2016We had lunch here, food was very good, service was good and service was fast for being crowded.- Chynna YsidoroJuly 7, 2013Can't go wrong with paulas special. And Corned beef hash is perfectedly crisp and soft. Nom!
- Tanya DahlNovember 4, 2012The California omelette is awesome! My boyfriend loves the Steak and Eggs! Can't go wrong :)
Matt NiblettSeptember 7, 2013Definitely go for the Danish pancakes with apples and the sausage; great food!
Chrissy EldredMarch 24, 2013The Danish pancakes and sausage are very satisfying. I could eat it everyday, prob.
- Annie RossSeptember 11, 2010Have Danish pancake.. It is enough for 2 though.. It is delish!CID you love the pancakes then u can also buy the batter! Doo iit
Christian AlmonteNovember 13, 2010Pancake... GOOD!... Sausage... GOOD! Breakfast experience... Priceless!!! The Danish knows how to do breakfast. So get the Danish Pancake Combination.
Dorothy CaldwellJuly 9, 2010The best breakfast I've ever had! My eggs were perfect, hash browns were delicious and the Danish pancakes were amazing!! Would definitely come here again.
Alberto J S Moreau DJanuary 18, 2016Wonderful place and excellent breakfast, perfect to start a new day!!!
Try the Danish Pancake Combo, it's a lot of food, but well worth it. Oh yeah, get some OJ too.
