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

Pannikin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

We didn't order food but the option on the menu looks delicious. We enjoyed waiting in the outdoor patio area. Good music and vibes all around. Service was decent but the first time they made a hot drink not a cold. So we had to remake. Otherwise it is a nice spot. read more

Great coffee and breakfasts ranging from sweets to satisfying savory dishes. Baristas & servers are always so friendly, always smiling and laughing and willing to help. Very pretty building as well with comfortable seating out back, out front and indoors. One of my go-to spots for coffee and breakfast read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now but the one in Encinitas is so crowded whenever i pass by.... But now, we have one in Oceanside! Totally worth it! Loved the quiche and super nice inside with the decor and has a great ambiance. Definitely will try their pastries next time but I liked the atmosphere and the service was fast and they were friendly. Come try it! Adventure on my friends! read more

Super disappointing. Ordered some food and drinks. Came out to a crazy amount for 2 people. Pannikin used to be affordable so not sure what happened. I looked at my receipt now and seems like prices jumped up a few dollars for nearly everything. $8 for an iced tea is ridiculous. Also the girls behind the counter were snooty, rude and one appeared sick. She kept coughing without covering her mouth all over the open food. I used to work for Pannikin and have been going to La Jolla and Leucadia locations since the 80's so I am pretty sad about the price, quality and the attitude. Still love the coffee, but probably will NEVER return to this location. What a bummer, cause the building is great, the ambiance is too. But it's way too expensive for a less than average brunch, that gave us indigestion and was missing key items. read more

The ambience of the place is fantastic, immediately you can see all the customers laughing and having a pleasant time. The outdoor area is well kept and looks great. The food was diverse and great for a cafe. The staff was amazing even remaking my drink! read more

Pannikin - Breakfast tacos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

This place used to be really good but it seems staff is lacking a lot. Service is terrible , you tip them well and they don't even bring the coffee out for you. It was cold by the time I got up to check. On top of that while I was half way eating the Nutella toast there was DOG OR CAT HAIR on the bottom. DISGUSTING. Never coming back here read more

After a disappointing lunch in Julian CA yesterday, It was nice to have a very good experience here at Pannikin today. They have the best quiche that I've come across in SD County and the mocha I ordered was also very good. Many "cafes" similar to this produce low quality espresso drinks served in plastic or paper cups. I requested a ceramic cup and my drink was tasty, nicely textured and at a perfect temperature. The only negative was, they don't offer the Quiche Combo that includes soup or salad like they do at the Encinitas location. All things considered, Pannikin is where I'll be coming to for my quiche and mocha when I'm in the area. read more

Okay, look, the place is cool; the location is cool; the Pannikin brand is cool. What is NOT cool is not having wifi for customers. It's just not logical in today's world where people frequent coffee shops in order to work, communicate with others, and entertain themselves. Is it "edgy" to have a place that eschews the social standard in favor of real social connection? Sure, but is that what most people are looking for in a coffee shop? Definitely not. On a side note, the mango black iced tea was too bitter to drink. I walked one block to Pier View where I got free wifi and a tasty iced tea. read more

Nice coffee shop with cool staff and cozy seating. Latte is good. If asked if I would come back here. The answer is yes! :) read more

used to love coming here as I walk by the pier 1x a week at least but the past few months I have avoided it, service is alright seems like I'm either interrupting employees in a deep convo or I'm a complete bother to them. it's such a cute spot and I loved coming here to grab a drink to start my walk but the drinks are such a hit or miss. Super cute and clean but yeahh tried them again but I think I'll take another break from them read more

Great vibe and amazing chai! Employees were super friendly. I will definitely be back! Thank you Pannikin!

So there's no wifi. But it's a really quaint coffee shop with plenty of room, differently styled seating areas, indoor and outdoor. Friendly service and reasonable prices. My coffee was like $3.75 with my own thermos, and they have a good refill discount. They have 2 large individual restrooms near the old-timey shoe shine station. read more

Pannikin - Apple tart $5.50 & coffee $3.75 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

This review pertains mainly to this location since pannikin does have great coffee and food. It's sad because I used to go to the cafe that was here before it became pannikin at least 3x a week so I was really hopeful for the replacement. I lived next to pannikin in encinitas before this so we were honestly excited to have their scones so close to us! The first time I went, I noticed the prices were insane! I know it's San Diego but it's really a stretch. However, the quality is good so it's not a huge deal. What really bothered me is I was waiting 15 minutes for a bagel and cold brew. When I asked how much longer it would be they said they had forgotten about me.... They had just opened that week so I decided to look past it and went again a couple weeks later. The exact same thing happened and they apologized for forgetting about me. Not going to pay outrageous prices and wait 25 minutes for a cold brew and bagel to go. Haven't been back. read more

Personally - one of my fav matcha lattes and best quiche around - moist and tender crust which is also proportional to the egg (most quiches are too much egg) also comes with orange and peperoncinos on side which actually tastes great with it. The service is always great too very nice people who run it no matter which location. Overall, this is the newest location for Pannikin and it's a chill ambiance with the rockers on the patio and dog friendly patio. Also, their new organic wine in a bottle is delish, but personal tip make sure you don't constantly open and close the top, as the plastic top will drip on the glass bottle in your bag. read more

Pannikin - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Coffee is good, location is great if you are in Oceanside area, not impressed with the food. Felt a bit overpriced for what it was. I would only go for the coffee and vibe. read more

So the ambiance is great, the coffee is meh, service is fine. The problem: a terrible tasting vanilla oat milk latte costs $9.46. It's apparent the employees are not baristas and clearly doesn't know how to make a latte. I chalked it up to opening week and returned over the weekend to try again with the same result, which was a bummer. Today I decided to give it one last go as I needed a spot to work from for an hour - I decided to grab a tea so I can sit an work, but as I started ordering I realized their tea costs $7.95. Instead I decide to try a coffee au lait. The 12oz is $5.00 which is in my tolerable range for black coffee with milk. There is someone training another employee how to make this drink. I prepare to sit down to start working and ask for the Wi-Fi and I get a response: "oh, no, we don't have wifi." Almost surprised I was asking. I mean, why would you as an overpriced coffee shop focused on ambience, have Wi-Fi? I gave it a fair shot and I'm officially over it. I'll keep going to the coffee shop down the street with a $6.50 latte and free Wi-Fi and even friendlier staff. read more

Amazing atmosphere. Nice ambiance with nice music. Not too loud and nice seating. Hot chocolate was to die for and all drinks were aesthetic looking. Nice staff brought our drinks to the table quickly. read more

When I visited during the Soft Opening, it was a bit busy. It was also a little loud it seemed, but that is ok. I was there to get a Gift Card and had a small cup of regular coffee. It was full of flavor and great! The space is unique and I like the back patio area. Of course, downtown parking can be a pain, but I was able to find a spot not too far away. I've always seen the other location looking packed so I'm sure this place will be soon, if it's not already! I look forward to returning to try more things there! read more

Another Matcha Latte! Super sweet baristas with a shop inside if you feel like walking out with more than food. Plenty of seating and parking is on the backside. Outdoor seating is must. The beach is right around back just drive up the backside of the street and follow the road as it curves - find parking and walk down the steps to a rocky beach side. read more

Pannikin - Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

My husband and I stumbled upon this place while wanting a relaxing day at the beach. We decided to stop by since it looked super cute, as soon as we walked in, we noticed the layout of the place which makes it very inviting and the only reason I personally am giving it a two star is because of decor, but we were immediately taken aback because of the girls at the counter. They were talking amongst themselves before they noticed us, which then they immediately stopped talking, did not great us, or even offer any words of welcoming into their establishment. They simply stopped talking and stared at us, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. The whole time we were looking over the menu, not one said a word to us or asked if we had any questions. When the transaction began, the girl taking the order had an extreme monotone that just continued to make me feel so out of place. While waiting for our order we also noticed that all of the girls were being so cold and unwelcoming demander that has left a sour taste in my mouth for this place and the workers. I don't know if I could give this place another try because of it. read more

I love my local Arizona coffee shops but hitting this one on vacation out here in Oceanside has me wanting to move right across the street. I've never had an iced caramel latte go so smoothly down my throat! I loved the modern decoration and atmosphere. My drink came out quickly and there was plenty of staff to handle the rush! Overall, an amazing and refreshing experience! read more

I came here for some hot chocolate on a cold day. I ended up getting the Mexican hot chocolate which was tasty. Very rich and creamy mmmm They had a decent selection of baked goods, I had a slice of carrot cake which was massive! It was worth the price because it was so big, definitely shareable. The interior is mostly the same as the bunkhouse of you had been to that cafe prior to it being pannikin. The service was friendly and a bit on the slow side considering they weren't too busy. read more

Like rude service? Come here! Ordered a large matcha latte and an espresso mocha on 9/22 at 11:03 AM, and the experience was extremely disappointing. My matcha latte was half-filled, mostly foam. But what really set me off was the cold, almost rude service. I try to support small businesses, but when I'm treated like I'm an inconvenience, it's hard to justify coming back. Not a "hello," no acknowledgment while I stood there waiting--nothing. If the staff is having a tough day, that's not my problem, and it shouldn't be taken out on paying customers. I should have just gone to Succulent Cafe down the street. I strongly suggest others consider doing the same. I really hope the owner takes a hard look at the three baristas up front because their attitudes were terrible. read more

It was exciting to see Pannikin come to town because of its history and whatnot, but unfortunately I will not be frequenting this place. The coffee price is outrageous for mediocre coffee. I ordered a caramel latte with almond milk and it cost $8.50. This is the most expensive coffee in town yet the milk and syrup isn't homemade. $1 extra for store bought flavor shot and $1.25 for almond milk. There are so many coffee shops in town with higher quality. I hope they either review their prices or make the coffee ingredients better. read more

First time at Pannikin, adorable walking in, mediocre service at best. I stood at the counter with no line and the cashier, kitchen staff, and baristas all looked at me waiting at the register and turned around to continue their conversation. It wasn't too long before one took my coffee order. Once my drink was ready, I went to claim it and the same young woman that took my order tried to grab my drink away from me when I went to grab it. Like girl, I ordered from you like 5mins ago and didn't even leave the area? It wasn't even busy. As for the drink itself, I ordered an iced Jimi Hendrix, and while I recognize it has 4 shots of espresso and to expect a bitter taste, but the shots tasted dead, my drink was grainy and watered down with melted ice - yet the drink was still hot.. I miss when it was Bunker House.... Better service and better coffee/drinks. read more

1st time at the Oside location. Very cute. Went super early. It was only the birista, some guy hanging out talking to her and me. Ordered a small coffee. Fresh and great flavor. I was sticker shocked..$4.00 for a reg small coffee. Dang, way over priced. Unfortunately, I won't be back. Too expensive!! read more

On my first visit here, I experienced friendly service and a yummy cup of coffee in a lovely living-room-corner area. It was just what I needed at the time, so I was happy as could be. On the next visit I experienced friendly service service, outrageously good avocado toast and delicious frothy beverages. We had these to go so no enjoying the location itself. But it was enough to make me fall in love with the place. I've now been several more times to this coffee shop and every experience has been very positive. read more

Had the Jimi Hendrix iced coffee. Didn't taste a lot of the espresso despite it having 4 shots, but still tasted yummy. It looks really pretty on the inside. Great spot to work on your laptop, the vibe is really chill. read more

Never been a fan of this place because the customer service was never good. They all have an attitude. Today I was craving an avocado toast and this place was near by so I came on in, the guy with the beard in the kitchen kept picking his nose and had a runny nose and kept wiping his nose with his fingers. I told the manager on the computer and she looked unbothered and said, "oh okay I'll let him know" I asked for a refund and she gave it to me never apologizing for the unsanitary handling of the food.

A little pricey but very nice vibe and location. Good was great. Nice plan for a Sunday afternoon study session.

Great Coffee and Great pastries! Love the decor and space to sit around and use the coffee shops WiFi. The bathroom was stocked with toilet paper and toilet seat had no stains or damage. I was impressed and highly recommend the coffee. I had the Mocha Americana and I was not impressed not because of quality just my stomach not agreeing the taste. I remembered the last time I had Mocha tea it upset my stomach and just forgot. So I'm not knocking the quality of drinks at all. I saw numerous customers just genuinely happy either sitting doing work or socializing enjoying the quality of their personalized drinks. I happily recommend this fine establishment when If you are local or visiting for a few days or more. I come here every mid morning to order the same or similar drinks that make my stomach hurt it's just my ability to choose what's not good for my gastrointestinal track. The quality going down is superb and highly recommend. I promise to add pictures next time and trust me there will be a next time. read more

Very very very mid. The pastries are all dry (we tried lemon poppyseed, apple danish, blueberry scone and banana bread) - the last 2 were ok. The drip coffee tasted like water. The pros - berry iced tea and cold brew, cute outside area but won't be back - go anywhere else for coffee in oside this ain't it. read more

I was excited to visit Pannikin after reading reviews and hearing general buzz. The new location in Oceanside is a great old building. All good so far. But walked in and felt like I was invisible. Four people working there. No 'hi' or any acknowledgment. Unfriendly and unwelcoming. And not in a 'cool' way just in a 'can't be bothered' way. These guys need to visit Parlor donuts across the street and learn some customer service. read more
