Pancakes in Hoboken: the sweet side of the Uncle Rocco brunch board
The pancake at 112 Willow Ave is lemon and olive oil, under berry compote and whipped cream. These are the sweet plates around it, and the hours you can order them.
For pancakes in Hoboken, the plate at Uncle Rocco is the Lemon Olive Oil Pancake: a lemon and olive oil pancake topped with berry compote and whipped cream. It sits on the brunch board at 112 Willow Ave with a few other sweet things, and this guide goes through all of them.
The pancake
The menu describes it in one line: "Lemon & Olive Oil pancake topped with berry compote & whipped cream." Online there is nothing to customize on it, so it comes as listed. The dietary page lists it as meat-free.
Pancake or French toast
The other sweet plate on the board is the French Toast: brioche stuffed with Nutella, topped with mixed berries and whipped cream. Both come with berries and cream, so it comes down to the base: lemon and olive oil in the pancake, or brioche with Nutella inside.

Sweet things after brunch ends
The dessert list runs all day. The Baby Bread Pudding comes with Tuaca caramel sauce, and the menu notes it is the dish guests name most often in the restaurant's Google reviews. It is not available gluten-free. For a gluten-free sweet, there is a Gluten Free Brownie with Ice Cream, and the soft serve comes from a machine in the building.
Sweet drinks
Coffee is bottomless. Two iced lattes lean sweet: the Teddy Graham Iced Latte and the Bread Pudding Iced Latte. The menu also lists a cappuccino, a matcha latte and assorted hot tea, and orange juice and Horizon chocolate milk are on the kids' menu.
When you can get pancakes
The brunch board starts at 9 AM every day. It runs to 4 PM Friday through Sunday, and to the 1 PM close Monday through Thursday, when the dining room shuts from 1 to 5. So after 1 PM, a pancake is a Friday to Sunday order. The brunch in Hoboken page has the whole board, and the weekday breakfast guide covers the Monday to Thursday morning.
Eating in or taking it home
Walk-ins are welcome, and tables for a set time go through Resy. The pancake also goes out for pickup and delivery through the online ordering page.
