Is there anything better than warm pancakes on a cold New Hampshire morning? To be honest, there's not much better than comforting pancakes any time of year. And, of course, going out to breakfast always feels festive. If you're a breakfast lover who likes when things feel a little more special, you're going to love this New Hampshire classic!
Polly's Pancake House is hiding out in the town of Sugar Hill, just next to Franconia.
Somehow this place is equal parts cozy and airy, with huge windows for some of the best breakfast views you'll find anywhere.
The coziness might be due to the history you'll find here.
The land that Polly's sits on was originally a farm owned by Brigham Hildreth in the early 1800s. His son took over the business and had a daughter named Lucy who married a man named Wilfred "Sugar Bill" Dexter who turned maple into one of the key crops on the farm. They remained the farm "Hildex" to combine the two last names. Lucy passed away and Wilfred remarried during the Great Depression. In order to highlight the maple products here, they opened a tea room serving pancakes. And the rest is history!
While a bit more modern than the original space, breakfast here is nothing short of incredible.
The pancakes are the fluffiest you've ever had.
And each bite, covered in butter and maple syrup, feels special.
There are a variety of batters on the menu here, ranging from traditional buttermilk to buckwheat. And there are seemingly endless toppings and add-ins.
You can try lots of flavors since everything is made to order. And, you can add eggs to make things a bit more balanced.
Not a pancake fan? Not a problem. They have a full menu.
But do be sure to grab yourself a maple creme puff from their bakery!
And a steaming hot cup of coffee.
