In 'The Strawberry Patch Pancake House', the regular who practically has a reserved seat is definitely Mr. Thompson. This guy shows up like clockwork every Saturday morning, rain or shine, always ordering the same thing—the mega strawberry stack with extra syrup. The staff knows him so well they start prepping his coffee the second he walks in. He’s not just a customer; he’s part of the furniture. Rumor has it he’s even named a strawberry plant after himself in their little garden out back. If you want to catch him, weekends are your best bet—he’s there more often than some of the employees.
The undisputed champion of 'The Strawberry Patch Pancake House' visits is old man Jenkins, but not for the reasons you’d expect. He doesn’t come for the food—he comes for the jukebox. Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, he plants himself at the counter with a single black coffee and spends two hours playing nothing but 1950s rockabilly tunes. The man’s such a fixture that when the jukebox broke last year, the owner prioritized fixing it just for him.
Jenkins has been coming here since the place opened in 1987. He claims the strawberry pancakes remind him of his late wife’s cooking, though everyone knows he never actually orders them. The current staff treats him like a living landmark—new hires get ‘Jenkins training’ on how to adjust the volume just right when his favorite songs come on. His loyalty’s even earned him a bizarre privilege: free refills during leap years, a tradition started by the original owner that nobody dares to cancel.
From my observations, the character who dominates 'The Strawberry Patch Pancake House' scene is Clara, the freelance artist who treats the place like her second studio. She’s there at least four times a week, sketching in the corner booth with a mountain of pancakes as her muse. The waiters joke that her tab could fund a small country by now. Clara’s not just a frequent visitor; she’s woven into the place’s vibe. Her art covers their walls, and she even designed their seasonal menus.
What’s fascinating is how she times her visits. Mornings for solitude, evenings for people-watching inspiration. The staff saves her favorite hazelnut spread, and the manager lets her stash art supplies in the storage closet. Regulars know her as the ‘pancake Picasso,’ and tourists sometimes mistake her for part of the decor. The house special ‘Clara’s Berry Chaos’ was literally created because of her habit of mixing every syrup on the table.

On the day I drive home from my business trip, I find out that my husband, Matthew Channing, has occupied my parking slot.
His SUV is parked haphazardly between two parking slots, leaving me without any space to park my own car at all.
I find it funny that Matthew is such a klutz when it comes to things like this. So, I take a video of the situation and upload it to the Internet. Little do I know that it will go viral shortly afterward.
Thinking that everyone will laugh at Matthew with me, I'm surprised when I see the comment section.
"Don't tell me you got tricked by your husband for real! It's obvious that he has a mistress at home with him right now! Once you reach home and call him to move his car, he'll know that you're back!"
"Lady, leave the car be! What's more important right now is the mistress in your bed!"
"Do not call your husband and tell him to move his car no matter what! Right now, you have to go home and catch him in the act!"
"Date me for four months only. If at the end of these four months, you fall in love with me, then I get to fuck you like a slut." His firm and domineering voice swept across my entire being.
"And... If I didn't fall in love with you but rather, you ended up falling in love with me..." I swallowed and continued with all the strength in me," you get to leave this school, leave this country and never show up before me again."
"Deal."
"Deal."
