PANCAKE PONY STARTED AS AN UNOFFICIAL ONE-TABLE DINER WHOSE ONLY REGULAR WAS 10 YEARS OLD AND NEVER PAID HIS TAB.

For years, founder MARI CHIJIIWA — a creative director and hockey mom — made birthday-morning pancakes and 7 a.m. pre-game stacks for her little dude. Eventually, she decided to make it everyone else’s problem.

So she hired a few fictional horses, a grumpy chef and an increasingly suspicious cast of diner regulars.

We may be a bit mischievous and mysterious, but everything at PANCAKE PONY is done with care. We create small-batch diner classics made with real ingredients and we curate breakfast crates in very good company with Canadian makers we think deserve a seat at the table.

Born in Calgary — a city that treats pancakes like civic infrastructure every July — PANCAKE PONY is part breakfast goods company, part gifting company and part fictional diner we may have taken slightly too far.

There still isn’t a table to book.
For now, we’ll just send breakfast to yours.
