So, I dragged my son and daughter to our local First Watch over the weekend.Still in August, I was surprised that the menu had already transitioned to fall, wiht so many autumn-inspired dishes, namely pumpkin pancakes. Is there anything more flavorful than pumpkin-infused pancakes? The onyl correct answer is pancake waffles. Here are 5 chains serving up the best pumpkin pancakes and waffles this fall.
