Little House of Pancakes (at Kangas Sauna) - Thunder Bay, Ontario

Abysmal service and terrible food! We went to Kangas Sauna for breakfast a couple weeks ago because I'd heard this place serves gluten-free Finnish pancakes. I had high hopes, but they were soon smashed to smithereens. On requesting the gluten-free Finnish pancakes, they said "No, we only do that on special occasions". Whaa?? ... How ridiculous. You either serve gluten-free Finnish pancakes (crepes) or you don't. I guess our occassion wasn't special enough.. So, we orderd from the menu.. My wife ordered poached eggs and they arrived completely overcooked (solid). Not soft or runny at all. Then my one son ordered eggs fried medium (he hates runny eggs) and they arrived completely runny. He was grossed out and didn't eat them. My other son and my daughter-in-law ordered the regular Finnish pancakes and they barely touched them. They were unimpressed. The server never checked on us and never even offered a coffee refill and, when asked, it took her well over 10 minutes to get back to us. The restaurant was virtually empty! My family said I should've cooked for them as I make fantastic gluten-free Finnish pancakes (even better than Hoito's non-GF pancakes) and I actually know how to cook eggs! LOL Sadly, we will never go back to Kangas Sauna. Makes me miss Hoito. Read more

Been coming here with my Grandmother for over 25 years. Always been a tradition that we get pancakes with strawberries and whipping cream. The food still tastes the same but unfortunately the bill made me regret our visit. We ordered two small pancakes and one drink that came to $46. ... As a business owner I understand inflation and the price of food going up but I find this price obscene and can't justify in my head that two small pancakes and one drink should cost $50 in today's world. I will say the food and service was good but will be making a new tradition of making pancakes at home after this visit. Read more

It is my first and i am really amazed,service is good and very accommodating too.. happy that we tried.. food is sooo yummy ! pretty busy but we enjoyed our time here..thumbs up

Great breakfast option in Thunder Bay. Friendly staff. Lots of parking. Highly recommend the Finnish pancakes or the Eggs Benedict. The restaurant was busy, but minimal wait time. Looking forward to going back!

It’s been too long since I was able to have my weekend sauna due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Today was my triumphant return, and it was glorious! Small, medium and large rooms available. $28 got me a small room for an hour and a half, and it was worth every nickel ... considering how good I feel afterwards. The fun doesn’t end at the sauna. Afterwards I relaxed in the patio and had a delicious bacon and egg breakfast. Kangas has some of the best Finn pancakes pound for pound in the city. French toast, eggs benedict and a fine spot for an omelet with a morning coffee. I have never tried the lunch menu, but I was really liking the looks of the sandwiches and burgers at the tables around me. This city had better not lock down again. My sauna helps center me for my upcoming work week. Read more
