Cute coffee (plus) shop. We are visiting the area for the holiday weekend and this place is a short walk away. We used that as a reason to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather and a coffee and treat. Ordered by our table: rose tea latte, salted caramel latte (very sweet), iced coffee, cookie butter latte (sweet) and a slice of banana cream pie (as good as the one I make). Fair prices, amazing selection, well made everything. I was seated in an area to watch and hear orders. Everything was made and prepared at a good pace. No one was waiting too long. The place remained busy the entire time we were there which speaks to how much people love this place. The staff is friendly, engaging and welcoming. There is plenty of space to sit inside and outside. I really like the decor and layout. read more

The vibes were there, the exposed brick and just the atmosphere is top tier but really that's all it had going for it. Everything we had here was a let down, extremely dry scones and overly strong coffee to the point where adding sugar didn't even save it. We also tried other pasties but it was all horrible and truly nothing to mention. Sadly, I won't be coming back here but it's still a really cute spot. read more

This spot has a big menu and even bigger seating areas. Whatever vibe you are looking for this spot has it. You can sit in th front on the porch, inside on a couch, or in the back with the sunshine. Really nice aesthetic, and super good avocado toast. I came a bit later in the day but my matcha was filled with so much foam. I took a photo for reference before I took a sip. I do not need matcha foam. I even order whole milk so it's not like I got expensive oat or something. It is what it is, I'll say something next time I go. Really enjoyed the vibe here and the food menu looks really good so I'll definitely be back into he future to try more stuff read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in Oceanside; they offer indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is in a private patio and offers umbrellas if your prefer shade or plenty of sunny spots if you're looking for a cozy spot to warm up. The staff is fantastic and always fast to greet their customers. They offer a variety of food options from cakes, to breakfast bars, and even housemade scratch breakfasts. If I'm looking for a quick bite I opt to their pecan bar, or coffee cake, and if I'm looking for a warm breakfast their tacos are fantastic. Coffees are strong, and they offer something for everyone. read more

I come to Pannikin Oceanside for the vibes, not the food and drink. I like the merch they sell. Everything else is just barely okay. But it's so cute! Service is bleh. They have great indoor and 4 areas of outdoor seating. It's a great place to meet a date and compare your taste in food and decor. Or to meet your notary. I keep trying different things and it's never that great but I love the historic building and the great furniture they kept from Bunker House. read more

A nice little neighborhood shop to pop into! My family and I stayed in Oceanside, CA for the week. Pannikin was right around the corner from our Airbnb and was how we started our day! The coffee and pastries are nice, lots of options. HUGE cups of coffee. But what was really helpful was the turf area behind the shop! It offered a place for us to sit, enjoy our coffee and let our adventurous 8 month old crawl around. This was a helpful, family-friendly space. This is a lovely little spot and offered our family a morning coffee routine! read more

So happy this preserved bank location (prior coffee shop) was selected for Pannikin! They've really updated the space and surrounding patios and I love that Pannikin is now closer to me too. It's very easy to walk to and park near (if you find open parking in downtown). They have two entrances so you can access the shop from two different streets (Cleveland and Civic Center). The line doesn't seem as crazy here usually, but the baristas are quite fast with drinks so that probably helps to keep their constant customer flow going. In my recent visit, my husband and I ordered the cafe Mexican mocha and the iced Keith Richards, respectively. My go to is the Jimi Hendrix, but I decided to switch it up. First, I have to say I love that they gave me my iced coffee in their hot cups but that they doubled the cups so my coffee would stay colder longer (and wouldn't drink everywhere). It was great to use! I did enjoy the Keith Richard's, but I really do love that shot of hazelnut in the Jimi Hendrix. This location did make the drink exactly as expected too, great quality at every location. My husband really enjoyed his Mexican mocha as well. Honestly what's not to like? Can't wait to be regulars again at this location! read more

Been here for so long, without a doubt good. Get their baked goods and it's a good spot to work at if you need

Pannikin has a really inviting space and friendly staff. It's a great place if you plan to study or do work or just hangout. I'm not a big fan of the drinks, there's a burnt taste whenever I've ordered an espresso beverage. Pannikin is not a bad choice if you happen to be in the area or you want a space to study, but there are better coffee shops in the area. read more

Ordered take out. An iced strawberry latte with oat milk + raspberry pastry bar= both were delicious. The pastry bar was very sweet, but not bad with coffee. Service was pretty quick today. Inside was fairly busy and more vintage feel. Parking is on the street, but downtown Oside can get pretty busy, so parking in the structure right across from Pannikin would be best (2h paid parking). read more

Ordered quiche. VERY salty. To add to this big slice of cheese on top. It tasted awful. I have eaten quiche from Leucadia location. That was good I thought my choice a poor value at $15 I'll not return read more

The back patio is so nice to hang out on. Great for a light breakfast or sweet treat. To be honest I don't really like Pannikin's coffee that much but I go there for the sweet little treats. They're one of the only places that aren't afraid to make their lemon bars tangy. Dog and baby friendly is a plus. They give you a number if you order food and bring it to you. But just call your drink order from the bar. It's not always clear if you haven't been there before, now you know. read more

I've been here multiple times bc I like to give chances, and this place was terrible. Every single drink I've tried has been shit. The workers?? Even worse. They don't acknowledge you when you walk in, and they are just standing there gossiping and you have to wait for them to finish so they can take your order. And on top of that the prices are expensive just so you can have a terrible coffee. The place is only nice for a selfie or to sit and do your hw/ work. Other than that don't go read more

Service today was amazing! There was an issue with my online order/ which I heavily may rely on since the chocolate chip pastries sell out fast and early. I placed an online order before making the drive all the way down to this super cute coffee place and apparently my order was cancelled. She apologized for this misunderstanding and took care of a little treat for me for the inconvenience. In that moment - boom- excellent customer service - and I wasn't even mad any more for the cancelled order and driving all the way down. She put a smile on my face and I will come back and try again for my cookie :) Thank u to the manager for this and for excellent customer service. I will come back for sure!!! read more

I stumbled upon this coffee shop walking around Oceanside and I am so happy I did! The employees are so kind and thoughtful.

I love Pannikan. You can go down, post up with your laptop and have a latte and slice of banana cream pie. You can request real dish ware which is something that's important to me because I think the disposable cups and plates are a health and environmental hazard. They have a good menu with a variety of breakfast foods and pastries. There's an outdoor area outback. This place is great. read more

I've never cared for the Encinitas location, but I welcome this spot (mostly because I despise Starbucks for opening nearby). I truly value being a customer at all of the non-corporate coffee shops in the area.... I ordered a hot Keith Richards (basically espresso in hot cocoa) and a warmed lemon bar at the recommendation of my barista. The coffee was smooth but lost its foam fast. The lemon bar was big enough to share, and interesting. It was cake-like in texture and not overly sweet... I expected it to be chewy but was not disappointed. Everyone was so nice! I loved the ambience and decor. There's a bit of seating all around the courtyard, the front, and some inside. I can see this place getting awfully crowded though. Overall, it's quite pricey but I will definitely be back, even if to just buy a bag of beans. Pros: - location - ambience and decor - friendly! - quality coffee (if it's like the Encinitas location, the syrups here will be cheap crap) - pastry and dessert selection Cons: - pricey - parking (or lack thereof) - they're not the best at steaming milk here read more

Nice location, walking distance to the beach. First time here, got the avocado toast which was super tasty. Probably one of the best avocado toast I've had. Prepare to dress warm it's a bit chilly inside. The inside and patio area are both very spacious. Will be coming back for sure when I'm in the area. Thank you Pannikin Coffee & Tea for good food, service and coffee. read more

I have heard good things about Pannikin in Encinitas. Over holiday break I discovered this gem had opened so I had to try it out. I must say I love the building and it's not just any ordinary building. As an Oceanside local I love that this is in The 1886 Theodore Bunker building and this building is finally getting the love it deserves! Today was my first time trying the coffee and I am telling all the locals that they must give this new coffee spot some love. The breakfast bagel sandwich An absolute must try! It comes with scrambled eggs and cheese, but you get to choose what kind of bread you would like. You can choose between: toast or choice between sesame, cinnamon, raisin, everything seasoned, or plain bagel. The sandwich was bomb!! For coffee I got the Jimi Hendrix 4 shot expresso (not for everyone) and Mexican hot chocolate. A perfect blend of perfection! The staff is absolutely friendly! They will give you recommendations if you need it. But everything looks absolutely tasty! Even the pies! Come give it a try! read more

The ambiance is great. We enjoyed the location. The food was tasty and the service was good. However, only go if you have $ to spare. It was two of us for breakfast, hot drinks, and shared a pastry. It was more than $50! Pricey in my opinion. Took it as a treat enjoyed the live music and called it an experience. read more

PANNIKIN COFFEE & TEA is Now Open Located in downtown Oceanside, this new café is located in the old Bunkerhouse building on Cleveland St. (across from the Salt Apartments) They have a small patio-seating area in front, a bigger patio area along the side and a huge seating area in the back. You can also sit inside and enjoy the cute earthy ambiance with your meal. I appreciate the preservation of the old brick house vibes and that the decor isn't too trendy or "hipster". I love their clean bathrooms as well and the quaint sitting area just outside. Their menu consists of many fresh-made pastries including: cookies, empanadas, pies, cakes, croissants, muffins and more. There's also favorites like: breakfast tacos, breakfast burritos, breakfast bagels, avocado toast, lox bagel sandwiches, hue is rancheros and chicken wraps. All of this, in addition to their coffee selection that includes: espressos, lattés, teas, matcha, hot cocoa and mochas. I can't wait to see what they do with all their space and I look forward to live music performances or maybe comedy nights. While there are a plethora of coffee shops in downtown Oceanside, I like that this one is a little out of the way from the crowds and has less commotion than most. Also, I like the friendly service that awaits you at Pannikin Coffee & Tea. read more

Pannikin - Food Menu - January 2024 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Good coastal vibes with nice outdoor seating and cool ambience. Boats a lot of tasty looking pastries (that we didn't try). Did not have a great experience, but the manager gave us a gift card because of how long we had to wait for the ordered food (not bakery items). Two of us in our party ordered a breakfast burrito and breakfast tacos, which took over 30 minutes to bring out (after asking about it a couple of times). It did not seem busy enough for the food to take that long. The second order of the exact same items came out 15 minutes later (for a total of 45 minutes). The food was just okay and a bit lackluster. Also, the coffee was not good (Americano); tasted over extracted and bitter. If we didn't have a negative experience, I would give it 3 stars. I do appreciate the manager trying to redeem it, but it was overall disappointing for how long we had to wait for the ordered food. Maybe more success if you do not order sit down food. read more

I have been very attracted to this old building for quite some time; she is a gorgeous old soul. It was known as the Bunker Building in honor of the first owner, and they had lots of business going on in this place. She is still quite the elegant lady today - dressed in her vintage colors and style - I wanted to paint her from the outside, so I did. I had to go inside to get a "feel" for the building. Artists are sensitive people and we get more of a story of places from the inside. It has a happy energy to it - it's got a past, like many of us, we all got baggage. This beautiful brick building has stood strong right on this spot since the mid 1880's! If you look at the bricks, they are darn near glued atop on another, the cement line is very thin. They used to build things that last back in them days. Today it is known as the Pannikin Coffee Shop; pannikin means a small metal cup. (I'll bet you didn't know that!) They have very sweet servers in there and I enjoyed the lemon bar, which is enough to feed 3 people! I also had the Martinelli apple juice which comes in a glass apple shaped container. I will definitely go back for their lunch menu this week, since I will be in Oceanside. Give Pannikin a try - it's a step back into happy memories. read more

I stopped by for a 20oz soy latte. The ambiance and decor was wonderful. There was live music in the back patio, only on Saturdays. I also had their coffee cake which was amazing!! The top crunch and sweetness complimented the spongy bottom cake. I thought the latte could have used an extra shot because it seemed milked down in comparison to the other 4 shot coffee items on the menu. I also stopped by the next day and enjoyed my visit. read more

Came it to try Pannikan, though I have always run by the one in Encinitas yet never made a stop until it became a local shop. This location has gone through changes as it once was an apothecary shop with succulent cafe ajoining. And then O'side Bakery had Bunker House cafe here, which I used to have on my rotation, but still drive to the bakery, occasionally, for coffee, pastries, breakfast, or lunch. Pannikan is newly open this week, and today, they were busting at the seams with far too many hires surrounding the order counter, which was understandable since there possibly was training going on. No food or pasty order, so I can't give my personal thoughts and opinions since I honestly have no desire to order eats here and only came to try the coffee. Coffee: I ordered the Jimi Hendrix, which was not enjoyable; I ended up tossing most of it. Should I return for a second try - I'll stick with a regular drip coffee so I can actually see and taste if I like the beans they use. Specialty coffee's here is a no-go, but I'll return for a drip for that one more taste. Service: The lady at the counter welcomed me upon entry, was prompt and pleasant in her interaction. The place is nice with many options, but it's not a top pick to keep on rotation like the 5 other small business shops I frequent locally. Personal opinion. read more

Tried the new Pannikin in Oceanside. Ordered right away with no line early Saturday morning. Had a Vietnamese & Lox Bagel - absolutely delicious! Really nice patio area in the back - a band was setting up - bummed I left before I got a chance to hear them. Server was really nice and offered to put the umbrella up but I was there for the morning sun. Very peaceful morning, would love to come back for some pastries. read more

I've enjoyed other Pannikin location so gave the one in Oceanside a try. They changed up some features of the shop that was here previously but still kept some of the charm of the building . I got the Mexican mocha made with coffee rather than espresso. It was watered down and not very good. Not sure if the coffee itself was watery or what happened there. My friend got a London Fog and said it was watery too. I'll chalk it up to the location and maybe staff being new, hopefully it gets better. I got a lemon bar and that was great. Tart and tasty. Lots of space to hang out. No wifi, just like their other location. There is street parking nearby but this area gets busy so you may or may not find some close by. read more
