The Galella Sisters' Journey: The Heart Behind The Original Mini Pancakes
Julia and Sarah Galella didn’t just want to start a business—they wanted to bring a dream to life.
Raised in a home where warmth was found in every shared meal and creativity danced through every family celebration, the sisters grew up knowing the power of presentation, the magic in the details, and the joy that comes from making others feel special. From folding napkins for dinner parties to baking treats with their mother on Sunday mornings, their childhood was a tapestry woven with hospitality, love, and imagination.
That early spark became a vision: to create something of their own that could turn ordinary moments into unforgettable memories.
Drawing inspiration from the romantic charm of European cafés and the sophistication of luxury events, Julia and Sarah began crafting a catering concept that would blend beauty, nostalgia, and indulgence in a way no one had seen before. That vision became The Original Mini Pancakes—a mobile experience that’s as elegant as it is joyful.
But this was never just about pancakes.
It was about creating a feeling.
The Galella sisters designed every element with intention. Their signature black-and-white tuxedo theme, contrasted by delicate pastel florals, mirrors their unique blend of precision and playfulness, refinement and warmth. From the first pour of batter to the final powdered sugar dusting, every plate they serve is a reflection of who they are: dreamers, perfectionists, and women who know how to turn sweetness into spectacle.
Whether they’re setting up at a high-profile wedding, a dreamy baby shower, or a birthday in the backyard, Julia and Sarah treat every event like it’s the most important one they’ve ever done. Their menu—featuring indulgent options like The Signature with Nutella and Lechera, or The Royal, a Dubai-inspired creation with pistachio cream and angel hair—isn’t just food. It’s storytelling on a plate. Edible moments, crafted to be remembered.
Today, The Original Mini Pancakes is captivating hearts across Southern California—serving smiles in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, and beyond. But for Julia and Sarah, it’s never just about the miles traveled or events booked. It’s about the legacy they’re building—one magical bite at a time.
Because in their world, dreams come true... and they taste like pancakes.
