Pannikin Coffee & Tea

We just stopped in for a quick drink to warm up but ended staying a bit because it was such a charming place 🌞Sweet gal took our order and brought our drinks all the way out to us when they were ready. Cute, cozy indoor areas to sit as well as inviting outdoor areas for working or chatting.

I went here quite a few times to work while traveling in the area. Positives: it's a good coffee shop to work in, parking is pretty easy, and the space has a chill vibe. Clean and lots of outdoor seating too. Good GF muffins. Good music playing at a low volume (matters if you're working ha). Negative: throughout the week, I had interactions with 3 different gals who took my order and they were not friendly at all. I was still leaving tips each time but my last day in, I didn't even bother because the gal was that unpleasant even when I greeted her with a smile and asked how she was. I always try to empathize because we all have off days but this was multiple unfriendly interactions so not sure why many others are saying the staff is friendly. The chai latte was also very watery and not spicy enough at all. I'd stick with coffee or tea!

Beautiful coffee shop inside of a historical building made of bricks. The building is old but well taken care of. It has the best vibe! Good energy. 🌻

Love this place—it’s so nice, great space, excellent coffee. Dark Roast Coffee and Heavy Cream! Yes! Return Visit had the Breakfast Tacos—very good and generous serving. Met Owner Dempsey and another excellent service from Dulce. Very kind, patient, friendly, helpful. Got the large Americano—20oz has 3 shots and it’s delicious. Baked Goods look amazing—made in house fresh daily at the Carlsbad location. Gonna check that one out soon. Cozy nooks inside and out, love the vibe. A great place to work, meet, read, relax, socialize. I walked to it from the beach, so not too sure on parking options—seems like street only with meters.

This new Pannikin is one of the best small coffee shops in San Diego County. It's a great edition to Downtown Oceanside! They did a great job of turning this into an inviting space with lots of seating options. No matter what size of a party you bring, there are definitely seating accommodations for you inside and outside. There is a wonderful small patio in the front and a much larger patio in the back and on the sode of the building. There is also an assortment of comfortable nooke to sit and enjoy a coffee alone, or socialize with friends. The coffee at Pannikin has always been top-notch. You can really tell the difference in the richness of flavor in their drinks. There is a fun little gift and merchandise store inside to peruse while you wait. They offer all manner of coffee drinks, whole and ground coffee by the bag. This location also serve great food, and they have something for every diet type. It's never been a problem for them to customize orders. The food selection is way better than most coffee shops. Not only do they have the traditional pastries you expect with coffee, but they have a robust menu of breakfast and lunch dishes, as well as a super selection of desert confections. Pannikin Cinnamon Rolls are some of the best around, especially if you get here early. There is lots of parking all around. Some time limited parking on the street, and a huge parking garage across the street. There are lots parking options in short walking distance, too.
