The Annex food truck lot is finally full, thanks to the brand new Flapjacks truck that opened on Feb. 15. Owner Karna Reynolds cooks up delicious and unique breakfast foods for the Monmouth community.<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally from Medford, Reynolds moved to Monmouth for a change of scenery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had my food cart for 10 years,\u201d Reynolds said. \u201cDown there, I did tacos.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reynolds said it was time for her to venture out. She flipped her menu upside down to serve up something special for her new community in Monmouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flapjacks has something for everyone \u2014 from specialty pancakes, to hearty biscuits and gravy, to hot oatmeal, to fruity smoothies, every entree is made to order. Already, the biscuits and gravy and the birthday cake pancakes are their best sellers, Reynolds said. Her homemade biscuits are topped with gravy loaded with sausage, bacon and tons of flavor; it\u2019s her personal recommendation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh and creative food is what Reynolds prides herself in. Her menu promises high quality ingredients and food \u201cmade with love,\u201d and she enjoys experimenting with a variety of fruits, seasonings and other ingredients to give customers something one of a kind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe like different as human beings,\u201d Reynolds said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reynolds will even throw something new together on a whim, meaning each day may offer a unique menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday I made a \u2026 cinnamon banana swirl pancake,\u201d Reynolds said in regards to her menu that day. \u201cThe other day, I came up \u2026 (with) a walnut pear pancake.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, Reynolds hopes to grow her business at The Annex. Several years from now, Reynolds has dreams of opening a sister location in Independence \u2014 providing the community with the breakfast food truck they want, but small and local enough that she can still run her business independently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Flapjacks is currently open Tuesday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit the food truck at The Annex, 191 Monmouth Ave. N, and stay up to date with Flapjacks on their Facebook page, @Flapjacks.<\/span><\/p>\n
