JP's Pancake Company

I am abnormally in love with pancakes. I could eat a version of them with most meals and do not understand why it is so difficult to find decent ones. So, when I learned of JP's through Yelp research, I was stoked! And when I saw the beautifully turquoise beacon of a truck parked at Zilker Park during the holiday festivities, I quite literally squealed like a child and ran gleefully to place my order.The menu is smaller than I had seen online, and pumpkin spice doesn't appeal to me, so I grabbed a chocolate chip pancake in a cup, a kolache pancake, and a cup of hot chocolate. I settled under the holiday lights and dug in. The hot chocolate tasted like everyone else's: previously powdered and perfectly acceptable. The kolache was a large sausage and a pancake/kolache bread batter hybrid rolled thin to look like a pancake with a thin layer of yellow cheese melted in between to glue them together. The bread was pancake adjacent and a little stale. It is served with syrup- no, thank you.Speaking of syrup, i should mention that while I love pancakes, I am very anti processed, maple-flavored goo. Unfortunately, the chocolate chip pancake had that layered in somewhere. I don't know if it was in the batter, the whipped cream, or its own sticky layer (if I had to wager, I'm guessing it was in all of it), but it overwhelmed the dish. I tried to eat it. It was too sticky and filled with saccharine sadness. The pancakes felt soggy, yet the chocolate chips mostly weren't even melted. It was odd. I decided to try to take it all home and give it a whirl the next day when I could give it a better shot or someone else at home would be able to give me a different perspective. I asked the nice people working the truck if they had anything I could use to take the leftover home. They don't do Togo. I sled if I could have another cup with a lid and she said no because it is careful accounting that goes into the cups and she wouldn't sell me an empty cup either, so if I couldn't finish it I should probably just throw it away. It was just so... derisive. So, I feel 3 stars is generous because some people like stale pancakes soaked in sugar. I'm sad I'm still on the hunt for a pancake Mecca on the go. But there are good sit down pancakes in this town! Savory ones, too! (they're just not here)

They have specialty flavors but I decided to just stick with the classic to see what they were all about. It came with white chocolate chip pancakes topped with raspberry syrup, fresh raspberries, and whipped cream. To be honest, I'm not a HUGE raspberry girl BUT THESE PANCAKES ABSOLUTELY CHANGED ME FOREVER. They were ridiculous. It came out super warm so the white chocolate was nice and oozy. The raspberry syrup was more of a raspberry cream type of sauce and it was so delicious. The whipped cream and fresh raspberries just added sweetness and tartness. It was all so amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed these pancakes. 5 chefs kisses for sure ‍

I love this concept! Warm pancakes and ice cream with toppings! We got a peach flavored one to share and it was all we needed after dinner to end the day happy. Definitely looking forward to coming back to try other flavors. Unfortunately only 3 were available at the time we visited... The bacon boy looked good..This location is in a food truck park with plenty of options for dinner, pre-dessert, if desired.Also, in the summer they have misters to help cool the seating area off, which was a relief.Overall highly recommended for a dessert that's slightly different from the usual.

Pau is clutch. Pancakes were good munchies and music was fire. Pull upCustomer service was also really good

First time going....didn't know what to expect, Was very good (white chocolate pancakes). Have to go back!

JP's Pancake Company is located in a circle of food trucks and that truly makes the experience. The staff are UT students so that was great to see. My friend and I split the Hayley and absolutely loved how the dessert wasn't overly sweet and balanced out. They were also giving out free hot chocolate that day which was a bonus- definitely would recommend!

This is a cute idea: An aqua-colored and sunny food truck jams a whole pancake into a two scoop ice cream cup and then tops it with your choice of syrups, caramels, fruits, cream, and more. Another Yelper enticed me with their description of a deliciously soaked pancake but because it was pushed in, I found it to be somewhat rubbery and impermeable covered by a gloppy layer of goodies. My 6 and 4 year old companions were disappointed, as well, and all three of us threw out more than half of our meals.

One of the most unique and best tasting desserts I've ever had. Absolutely loved it. A bit on the pricier side for the amount, but understandable.

It's a late night dessert place. They only open at night so it's called pancake company but let's be clear it's not made for breakfast. For three small pieces of pancakes, it's a bit pricy. In terms of taste, pick anything with white chocolate pancakes, they are so tasty. They have build your own options. I just picked a menu item, then changed one ingredient. I think it's a good way to avoid weird combinations but still try to appeal to my taste. People working there are super friendly. They were actually training one lady, so I got my order a bit slow. But I watched the entire procedure preparing my order. It was fun!

Organizers: Do not allow this truck onto your event. Their gasoline generator on the back of their truck sounds like a jet engine, its so loud. The noise will ruin the ambiance of your event within a distance of 200 feet from the truck. Its deafening to walk up to it. These people should be kicked off the property of any event.
