The PepperMill Cafe

Located at 2600 South Main Street in High Point, The PepperMill Café serves Greek-influenced diner fare for breakfast and lunch. It is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday, from 6 a.m.-noon on Saturday, and closed on Sunday. Online ordering is available.

 

I had a craving for bananas foster pancakes, and The PepperMill Café was one of the few places in town that offered it. I was hoping for a passable rendition thereof and little else, but The PepperMill Café exceeded expectations. While not much to look at inside or out, the restaurant is deceptively spacious. Service is also both friendly and hyper-efficient, so while they keep busy, you won’t be waiting for anything very long here.

 

The PepperMill Café offers much of what you’d expect from a classic Greek-owned Southern diner, which means an appreciably large menu with a few Mediterranean-influenced dishes. From omelets and biscuits to pancakes, French toast, and waffles, they’ve got you covered. However, for those seeking something more novel, PepperMill also offers carrot cake pancakes and a kielbasa plate.

 

I satisfied my craving with two bananas foster pancakes/eggs/sausage. The pancakes were large without being too dense, the bananas were nicely caramelized, and the cream cheese butter made for a nice finishing touch. All told, it was a very satisfying forkful. Everything else was decent if less memorable, and pricing is reasonable.

 

I don’t know how the lunch offerings measure up, but for a sit-down breakfast, The PepperMill Café is a rock-solid option.
