5 stars. The energy level before 9am on a Monday was honestly impressive. 10/10 recommend

Between being a full-time student and working full-time, I no longer measure time in days or weeks, but in how long it has been since I visited Pangolin. The cardamom latte in particular is unreal. I came in this morning feeling exhausted, stressed, and questioning my trajectory in life, and after one sip I left feeling like I had a spiritual awakening and like I could possibly run for Congress or something. The baristas here are also insanely nice, and if it weren't for the fact that I'm able to grab a coffee and a bite to eat here, I would have thought this was a therapist's office, because somehow it's like they knew what I needed before I did. There are two girls in particular I see a lot - Jazmine and I think the other girl's name is Mar (???) - who bring the most amazing energy every time I see them, and I feel like they put their entire soul into what they do every morning. In general, if this coffee shop were a person, I would trust them with my taxes, my secrets, and probably my first-born child. Literally a 10/10, and I will continue to come here on a regular basis until someone has to intervene. read more

Employees: Amazing! Atmosphere: Cozy! Coffee: BEST IN RENO Tea: Authentic, flavorful, and SO MANY OPTIONS Pangolin is hands-down my favorite café in Reno. I keep coming back for the strong coffee and the kind baristas. They serve delicious, high-quality pastries from a new bakery in Reno (Beloved's), and Liège waffles from somewhere in CA that are to die for! Atmosphere ranges from quiet and studious to a popular hangout spot; in nice weather, there's a patio outside for larger groups to meet. The plants are lovely and there are lots of goodies to pick up, including HOUSE-MADE Turkish delights. Every coffee purchase gets a free piece of candy! read more

I've gone here twice within the past month for the Strawberry Matcha and I will be back again very soon because it's just that good. I get mine 1/2 sweet and it's the perfect mix of matcha with their housemade strawberry simple syrup with fresh strawberries. I've only grabbed drinks to-go but the inside is super cute with plenty of seating. I went in the last morning on a weekday and it wasn't too busy but when I went on a Sunday it was packed in the morning but I still only waited ~15 minutes for my drinks. I will be back for the strawberry matcha and hope to try some of their other unique drinks in the future too! read more

Pangolin Café - 1/2 Sweet Strawberry Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came to Reno for the weekend and since I'm a coffee person I really wanted a good cup of coffee. This little cafe is in a cute location. It was packed on this Sunday morning, so usually is a good sign. The line went pretty quick for as long as it was. Nice little assortment of bagels, pastries, and Turkish Delights. I decided on the cardamom breve and a pack of Turkish Delights which I had never tried before. To start, the coffee was everything I was looking for. Nice espresso and cardamom flavor with a perfect balance of breve creaminess. The Turkish Delights are a nice sweet treat, and would definitely get more. The coffee is perfect and I was pleasantly surprised! read more

i absolutely adore the time i spend at pangolin café! my friend kendra introduced me to this place a few years ago, but i hadn't come in myself until two years ago. it's safe to say that pangolin has become my third place! all of the staff are such sweethearts, and have learned all of my names haha! mar is simply amazing and can make the best drinks in the truckee meadows! my go to drinks are typically a cortado (gibraltar), the iced cubano breve sub oat instead, or a hot pistachio latte when it's cold! they also get uber creative with the seasonal drink menu as well! YOU MUST TRY THE SAND HARBOR OR STRAWBERRY MATCHA OR ELSE. i love the turkish inspiration and how they blended it with an american cafe! they serve turkish delights with every drink, and the pomegranate pistachio is the best one. followed closely by the tart raspberry. this is definitely a great coffee shop to meet up with friends, or to get some school or work completed. would love to see an improved waiting line as it get crowded and confusing when it's busy. i have spent countless hours playing pokémon and getting work done here. occasionally, if you come in on a friday afternoon you may see me taking a nap in one of the blue chairs! pangolin café is a great place for beverages, delights, and vibes! i highly recommend it whether you're a local or just visiting reno! come check it out! read more

I was in town only for a day but I always need my matcha fix, so I went in trusty Yelp to find where I would get that. Pangolin Cafe is a very aesthetically designed space with a peaceful and stylish vibe. I had a few questions and the girl working was very friendly and gracious. She recommended the banana cold foam matcha and I went with it. The drink was a very carefully handcrafted treat , and it came with a free Turkish delight as well! I would definitely visit again next time I'm in Reno, thank you Pangolin! read more

After hearing about Pangolin for many years, we finally made it on a Sunday morning. (Note: They are closed on Saturdays.) It's a quaint coffee shop with some food menu item. My hubby ordered an Americano and I ordered their special liege waffle with strawberries and cream. This was delightful. It was my dessert after having a pizza lunch. We also received a complimentary piece of kiwi strawberry Turkish delight. It was a fun discovery to finally check out Pangolin Cafe. read more

This coffee shop was amazing! I saw it online and had to check it out. The baristas were incredibly kind and recommended their miso brown sugar matcha when I asked for matcha suggestions. I loved how it had both sweet and umami taste to it - it surprisingly worked really well together. My boyfriend ordered the pistachio latte, which was also delicious. I especially liked the crushed pistachios on top; it was a really nice touch. With each drink purchase, we also received two complimentary Turkish delights. We tried the pomegranate and pistachio flavors, and both were yummy. I will definitely be coming back the next time I'm visiting Reno. read more

Quality/Quantity - Just gave more blood at Quest and wanted to treat myself to a decent coffee and breakfast! Limited menu, but done well. Seasonal specials, etc. Got the Cubano Breve - So good! Not as strong as the Cubano I drank when in Little Havana in Florida. But still good. Pumpkin Pie Waffle - My wife really enjoyed this. I thought it was good also. I like pumpkin, but not as a puree. I also got two confection samples, two Turkish delights; my daughter's favorites. I will bring her next time she visits. But not as good as the ones we buy in SLO, Monterey, etc. Atmosphere - Very small local business. Limited indoor seating, plenty of unused outdoor seating but it was too cold today. See pictures. Very small shared parking lot, but plenty of free street parking. Open 6 days a week from 7am to 5pm, closed Saturdays. Clean shared restrooms. Service - Love the fact that the team here knows all the regulars! So welcoming and friendly. Said bye to everyone as they left, etc. Price - $14 + generous tip, but that is the price for quality! Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019; looking forward to introducing you to more people. read more

Ambiance was cool and all, but the baristas forgot our order, and we were just sitting there for 20 minutes. If we never said anything they would've never made our drinks- but not only did it take that long to get our order their chai and matcha were the worse drinks we've ever had. read more

Friendly staff and some unique drinks. We had the pistachio latte with a strawberry and cream liege waffle. I was sad to learn that the waffles are not made in house but rather bought and dressed up with different flavors. You can taste the difference from prepackaged versus liege waffles made in house. Also my pistachio latte was delicious but I overheard another group taking back their drinks and complaining that there wasn't enough pistachio flavor in it. Although they did go light on the sugar which may explain everything. Seating was nice and clean. Total bill was $18. Expensive for Reno but I might come back for the drink. read more

I will tell everyone that is the best place to have a strawberry matcha in town! I say that as clear as I can. Though they have a small space, they have cute space to hang out and study, they offer free wifi for anyone like me who wants to study outside the house. Upon coming in, you will greeted by the barista's and sometimes when they are busy They will manage to give a service top-notch. I always think about their strawberry matcha, sometimes when im brave I order what I feel. They have a pistacio latte and some seasonal that out of your comfort. They have a small food menu, I usually grab their belgian waffle. Loved that they always give you a sample of turkish delights and stamp to collect. Such s cute promotiom. I bought some turkish delights to give it to my friends in California, she said "This is the one of the best turkish delights she ever had". But honestly, the sample makes me want to buy a whol bag. If you are looking for a local coffee shop in Reno, this is far by the best place. Btw: They are closed on Saturday's kind a bummer! But understandable that they need to recharge and have break. read more

Pangolin Café - Strawberry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Another 5 star visit to Pangolin, this time for the Breadgirl popup and the Pumpkin Spice Horchata, as always, totally amazing. Every single coffee I have had here is just spectacular, but I have found a whole new happiness in brining their espresso beans home... Not only do I only exclusively brew Pangolin beans at home, but I've had the opportunity to convert a few other people to them as well and the consensus across everyone is, pure perfection. They are always as fresh as can be, and just have magic taste to them... Pangolin has got my heart, that's for sure, and I won't be stopping my weekly visits anytime soon. Every single one of the staff is incredible, always happy and friendly. I'm still going to keep pushing to a a paid weekend espresso workshop.... I have things I would love to work on for my home espresso skills with the professionals! read more

I'm always excited to see what seasonal drinks pangolin comes up with but the last couple of times I went in it seems there was a difference between what I got versus what they advertise on their Instagram for marketing. This could be because they've gotten very busy, one day they even had numbers instead of calling out our names. Either way I've been disappointed with a couple of their seasonal drinks recently: like no garnish on a certain drink or a cold hot chocolate. read more

I love Pangolin's iced coffee, and the free Turkiah delight is always...well, a delight!

Pangolin is one of my favorite spots in Midtown Reno -- a total gem with a bright, modern feel and consistently excellent drinks and pastries. One of the things I love most: every drink comes with a piece of house-made Turkish delight -- such a thoughtful (and delicious) touch. Their tea is bold and full of flavor, their pastries are top-tier, and their English toffee is absolutely amazing -- buttery, crisp, and perfectly sweet. I also really appreciate their collaborations with other local businesses; it gives the place a true community vibe. One heads-up: they're closed on Saturdays, which always throws me off, but honestly just makes me appreciate them even more the other six days of the week. Can't recommend Pangolin enough. read more

Stopped into Pangolin specifically to try out the Pumpkin Spice Horchata, it was a one day special and I knew I needed to try it before it was gone! Of course it was absolutely delicious! I chose to get it iced, my husband and kids chose the hot version. Both were incredible! This paired very nicely with the pecan cinnamon roll I got from the Bread Girl Pop-up out front. Keep brining on the new fun flavors Pangolin, we will for sure be in to try them. Hoping for a Pecan Praline flavor next. read more

Do I recommend Pangolin Café? Uh, heck yes I do! An earl grey hot cocoa with toasted marshmallows and a free Turkish delight? Yes, please. Service is always helpful and cheery. The baristas really seem to be passionate about their drinks and it shows. I love the uniqueness of the menu, they have something for everyone. Ive never been upset with any of the drinks I've tried, even when it sounds strange, like adding peach to coffee... sounds bizarre, but so delicious! Inside has a few tables and places to sit. If you're looking for a fun creative coffee experience, look no further. read more
