This is my favorite coffee spot. I just tried their spring special drink, the Orange Blossom w/ honey cold foam, it's SOOOOO GOOD! I hope this drink stays on the regular menu so it's available year round!
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.
Five stars are rare for me, but this place rocks ! Good service, great coffee, nice atmosphere. Beloved's pastries. They have unusual and delicious custom coffee and matcha & tea drinks often created by manager Mar ! Baristas Dylan, Connor, Jaz & Christine are great ! Sometimes there's few too many kids underfoot. it's not quite as laptop-centric as many other local coffee shops, which I appreciate.
This is probably one of the best hidden gems for Coffee , Tea and amazing tasty treats! I must say the atmosphere is very chill too! Service was above expectations and generosity was off the charts! This is clearly a business that they are passionate about:). I will be a consistent patron wherever I am in the area! If you haven't been here yet then you are missing out!! Definitely recommend if you're looking for a chill coffee/tea place to go. Thank you for setting the bar for all other places to try and meet!!!
I found out that I'm not a fan of Turkish delight however this place has delicious and creamy lattes! I've been wanting to check out Pangolin for awhile as it has been a fan favorite with my friends. I am now a huge fan of their coffee and the extensive menu they offer. I tried a pistachio latte with oat milk. The presentation was beautiful and the flavor is unmatched. It was perfectly sweet with a balanced flavor. The pistachio didn't taste fake or overly sweetened. They offer many unique tea lattes that I will definitely be back to try! They give you a free Turkish delight with each coffee. The flavor was great but the texture was not for me. It was fun to try! Of note, there is no gelatin in the Turkish Delight so it makes the treat accessible to vegetarian/vegan friends. They do offer a punch card which is great especially if you frequent midtown!
One of the first coffee shops we visited during our Reno Trip. The cafe itself has such a calm relaxing vibe! I got the matcha latte and it was perfection. The staff was friendly and we learned every order comes with a free Turkish delight. Since I was with my mom she gave us a few to try and they were delicious. The tart raspberry was my favorite. Next time I visit, I have to try the pistachio latte!
This is a cute little coffee spot. I'm a sucker for coffee when I travel. I can always do my go-to but I like to venture to cafes. Stumbled upon this spot bc the reviews mentioned Turkish delights. I've always seen these but never really tried it. Ordered the cookie crumble delight. It was smooth but it was missing that coffee flavor. I didn't taste too much coffee and it was missing that cookie feeling. Istanbul Fog - I can't quite explain the flavor but it was different and I didn't mind it. This was the hubs drink. I ended up drinking it all and he had my cookie crumble lol. The Turkish delight is my first time trying and I wasn't sure what to expect. It was chewy and very tart. I actually really like it. Definitely, wouldn't mind stopping by here to try other drinks & eat some Turkish delights.
We tucked ourselves into this pristine gem of a cafe, and enjoyed their iced coffee (explained delightfully by the barista as the same light roast as their drip but increased in strength) and flakey, buttery croissants. The croissant was crisp, laminated with just enough butter to hold together and the filling was a perfect savory blend of spinach and cheese. We took home two bags of the Turkish Delight samplers because nothing says Narnia like winter and Turkish Delight! Be sure to check out this sweet spot of a cafe when you are in Midtown!
One of my favorite coffee/tea places in Reno. I am a huge fan of chai. I will go out of my way and drive all over this city to find to try any place that offers a chai latte. I have not quite been able to replicate the deliciousness of the authentic masala chai I used to have on the east coast, but I will say that Pangolin Cafe is the best in Reno. They make an awesome spicy chai...and I mean SPICY. I am a huge fan of masala and usually loooove as much spice as I can get, but I'm not going to lie - their top level is almost too spicy for me. Almost. Haha. Thankfully you can adjust the spice level to your preference. It's also fun that they offer a Turkish delight with each drink. The first time they offered a piece with my drink my initial reaction was to decline it, but I've enjoyed trying the different flavors they have over the years. My favorite so far is Rose :) They also have some other treats you can pay for if you like as well. I also like that they sell bags of coffee and tea that you can take home with you. Parking is a little limited directly in front of the store, but there's street parking nearby if you don't mind walking a little. There are tables in side but it's not huge so it might be tough to find seating during busier times. Anyway, try the chai :)
The ONLY reason I have a 4 star is because I feel like fresh cream cheese vs Philadelphia cream cheese packets would be top tier! :) Had a cookie crumble latte which was perfection! Yummy! Bagel was good, see comment above. Just feel like served cream cheese will elevate the cafe (coming from Vegas that's what I feel) I love visiting and supporting local businesses when I travel. It's such a cute spot, the staff were super cool. Good vibe and energy. Looking forward to next time!
