Our Story: Wholesome, Cosy, and Delicious

Double Dutch Pancake House is a family-run café tucked away in the heart of York's historic district. We specialise in authentic Dutch pancakes — thin, crispy-edged, and endlessly customisable — served in a setting that feels like a warm hug on a rainy Yorkshire day.

We believe everyone deserves a seat at our table. That's why our kitchen is fully allergy-friendly, with dedicated prep areas and gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free options available across the entire menu.

Batter whisked fresh every morning, never frozen.

Warm Service

Friendly faces and a genuine family welcome.

Cosy Atmosphere
