As if all-you-can-eat pancakes isn’t enough, The Old Spanish Sugar Mill Pancake House is located at the beautiful De Leon Springs State Park, and they offer unbleached white and stone ground flours for you to use to make your own pancakes on a griddle built into your table—all for a mere $5.25 per person. The staff features the finest in Florida hospitality and they also offer a wide variety of toppings like fruit, chocolate chips and peanut butter. After filling Emille’s coffee cup about ten times, they even offered to make a “to go” cup for her.

We heard from everyone there that the line in the summer can be two hours long, so be ready. Fortunately for us, we had just completed our Scuba certification on a cold January Wednesday during business hours, so there was no wait. But if there was, it would have been worth it. They have a PA system to announce when you table is ready, so that your party can enjoy the park without standing in line. They even had a smoldering fire in the fireplace to warm us after our scuba lesson. They even gave us several great Florida diving spot tips and the history of this landmark restaurant. We’re looking forward to our next visit!

Hi, we’re Dan and Emille. We met at church in NYC in 2010 and in 2011 we were married in Central Park on the bow bridge. In the last 6 years of marriage we stopped paying NYC rent, and bought a place on the edge of Hoboken, NJ, with spectacular views of the NYC skyline, which has been really fulfilling for photography enthusiasts. We have been talking about having kids for the last 6 years, but the New York lifestyle would make it difficult as our families are in Florida and Brazil. So we sold our place and furniture, left some great jobs, and friends and decided to have travel the world before we have kids. We’re cultured, but not fancy. We've been to 21 countries, and would love to visit all of them. We try to experience things like the locals as much as possible.
