But let’s be real, the ultimate pancakes aren’t just those basic flapjacks. No, the real magic happens when restaurants get creative with their recipes throwing in some unique flavors and extra fun toppings to take the breakfast classics to a new level.

That's exactly what this restaurant is doing and doing very well! So well in fact, that they’re not just serving up the best pancakes in Minnesota, but some of the best in the entire country.

LoveFood is out with a new list of the best pancakes in every state and Minnesota's pick is a place they say is “packed with heart and soul,” and that energy carries right into the kitchen. They serve up some spectacular cakes you won't find anywhere else (wait until you see how huge they are too)!

Maria’s Cafe in Minneapolis brings a taste of South America to the breakfast table. Their standout pancake? Penélope’s Rip Plantain Pancakes - a fan favorite that apparently pairs perfectly with Cotija cheese. YUM!

Fantastic experience! Food was delicious and filling with large portions. You don't want to stop because of how good it is but everyone has their limits. Corn pancake is a must to try but I have a feeling you can't really go wrong here. - Megan Google Reviews

Look at the size of those pancakes!! Drool!

Maria's has a ton of incredible pancake options on their menu. Everything from wild rice pancakes to chocolate chip, there's something for everyone. And if you’re all about the classics, don’t worry, they’ve got those too. They even have house-made syrup that's out of this world.
