We ordered the PB+J latte and the cardamon latte. Both of them were silky smooth, not too sweet, and had a nice natural subtle flavor of what we ordered. You can still appreciate the taste of the coffee without the add on flavors to be too overpowering. Both the cashier and barista were very friendly and knowledgeable. We could tell that they really care about their craft and providing a great experience for their customers. The logo of the store is adorable, so we decided to get one of their mugs, too! It was only $10 for this cute and lasting souvenir. This is a great stop for coffee and more when in Reno. read more

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! read more

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

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! read more

I saw this place close by to where we are staying and stopped by- I need coffee in the morning! The person taking our order was really friendly and informative. There are a ton of great cardamom and tea options here, and they were really great at explaining everything. The coffee is amazing and smooth, both my husband and I downed our cups. The vibe in here is relaxed. There is a lot of light from the windows and quiet music in the background. A lot of people in here on laptops. This would be the perfect spot to catch up on work or catch up with a friend. 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

Great vibe and exceptional kind service. Genuinely kind peeps. I had I think the Cuban it was called and my son had the vanilla latte. Really good! You get to have Turkish delight as a little free treat! I know this sounds strange but I had an everything bagel and it was toasted so perfect . Ask for the spicy cream cheese. read more

Quaint and cozy little coffee shop at a great location in Midtown! The service is excellent and the staff are all extremely friendly. It's a small space, but I don't usually have trouble finding a place to work on my laptop. The decor is warm and inviting. I appreciate the reasonably-priced drip coffee, and espresso options are unique with several non-dairy options. With each beverage purchase you get a free turkish delight! They're made in-house, and it's just such as nice little touch. Also, the toffee (also made in-house) is amazing! read more

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

After seeing that Pangolin Cafe was ranked a top 5 coffee shop in the U.S., I knew I had to try it. This place deserves all the hype and much more! Since the pandemic, most coffee shops I've visited have been somewhat disappointing and not at all worth the money. Pangolin Cafe reminded me why I used to love going to coffee shops. I visited on Easter Sunday and there were a decent number of people in the cafe. Regardless, service was fast. Pangolin Cafe does many things right, but the customer service is the best I've received in years. The folks working were warm and welcoming and you could tell they wanted to be there. All three employees working went out of their way to greet every customer and make sure everyone had what they wanted. I would come back to Pangolin just for the customer service, but the food and drinks are great too! First of all, I am confident Pangolin could charge much more for their food and drink, but the fact that it doesn't makes me like the place that much more. I got the Pistachio Latte, which is the most expensive thing on the menu at $5.25. At most other places, $5.25 is the lower end of coffee prices! We also got a Cubano Breve. Both drinks were delicious and weren't too hot when they came out, which I really appreciated because we were able to drink them right away and not have to wait for our drinks to cool down. The Pistachio Latte was unlike anything I've ever had before. We also got a jalapeno cheddar bagel with spicy cream cheese and a spinach and ricotta pastry. They were both good, but the bagel wasn't anything special. The pastry was great and unlike any other pastry I've had at a coffee shop before. I was really surprised to find out that every drink comes with a free Turkish Delight. We had the vanilla rose and tart cherry Turkish Delights, which were also both good but of the two, I liked the tart cherry one more. On top of all of that, Pangolin Cafe has really nice decor. It feels very welcoming and I can totally see myself working from Pangolin during the week when it is (hopefully) less busy. The decor (maps of Reno, Portland, and Istanbul and a topological map of Tahoe) and plants in the cafe are some of my favorite things I've ever seen and I now want similar decor for my home. Overall, I highly recommend Pangolin Cafe. I will definitely be back (probably more than I should) in the future. There are a lot of coffee shops in Reno, and particularly in Midtown, but Pangolin is hands down the best option. read more

I saw a little bit on our news one morning about the Turkish Delights made here. It was all about it being local and authentic to what Turkish delight is, made with premium ingredients, no fillers, nothing extras I have looked for Turkish delight in the past for a specific gift and we have it here, in Reno! Granted they were limited in flavors on our first visit but more is being made today. So, we went back again the next day to pick up a handful of samplers! I can say this is going to be a favorite spot from now on. The people are just wonderful, friendly and inviting. The drink menu isn't overly large, but it is certainly varied from a spicy chai to a floral lemonade. My daughter and I have tried 4 items thus far and all are delightful. Pistachio latte is positively dreamy. It's like a hug from your favorite grandma in a mug. The whipped cream on top is almost the consistency of melted marshmallow and it's a bonus to get it as it creeps down the side of your mug. It's so rich and creamy and I know it's just the topping...but it's soooo good. Toasted pistachios are sprinkled atop the mound of whipped cream and some fall through to wait for you at the bottom of the cup. I ordered the pangolin chai on our second visit, extra spicy and it was the perfect cup on a chilly day. The spices are so vibrant in this chai and topping takes a step above anything I can make at home. The cardamom scent wafts up from the cup as you take a sip and the ginger leaves a nice after taste. My daughter is a huge fan of lavender and rose, this purple drink was totally her jam. The lavender took it right to the edge and paired with rose and lemonade it's a fun refreshing drink for anytime. Not for chugging, definitely a sip and savor drink. Her second order was the earl grey hot chocolate, two of her favorites again partied on their list of tasty treats. Both of these drinks are literally tailored to her tastes, and they do not disappoint. The hot chocolate is rich and creamy and oh so smooth. It comes with an Earl grey teabag steeping in the cup. She let it stay in there the entire time and the longer it sat, the more of the tea flavored came through. It was topped with a gorgeous heap of whipped cream I have to say has a touch of vanilla. And if you're feeling a bit peckish they have bagels and liege waffles to accompany your choice of drink. Try the jalapeño cream cheese with a bagel, you can't go wrong with anything they offer. read more

If you've never BEAN to Pangolin Cafe, you definitely have to stop by! This hidden gem cafe tucked away in Midtown Reno is probably one of my favorite spots that I've discovered so far, with extremely high quality roasts of coffee and innovative, artfully crafted lattes made by their friendly baristas. We ordered the cookie crumb latte and peppermint bark latte, and both were delightfully concocted from high quality ingredients (actual peppermint bits/cookies instead of artificial syrup) and not too sweet! Our order also came with our choice of complimentary Turkish delight, which was an unexpected but lovely touch. With plenty of comfortable seating, WiFi, outlets, and a bathroom, this spot will definitely be my go-to spot to get work done next time I'm in Reno! read more

Ive been looking for a coffee place that is actually good. I've tried many other places here in town and this is my favorite by far. the vibes in the morning are slow, and calm.

Even after all these years, this place is still the same and tastes great. I love their seasonal offerings! There is a small parking lot and street parking available. The best part of this place is the Turkish delights. They are so delectable and affordable. They always have different fruit flavors and nuts! My favorite is the pistachio one! read more

In the heart of midtown Pangolin Cafe is a hidden gem. They have unique coffees and teas and sweet Turkish delights. I had the cardamom latte with oat milk and got the delights sampler pack. They gave me a free piece of the delight for purchasing a sampler. The service was quick and the latte and delights were delicious. Love their beautiful cups adorned with their logo. The latte was piping hot and robust yet smooth and I could really taste the cardamom. The robust flavor of the latte was offset by the sweet delight - sweet, chewy and decadent. Yum! Parking is a bit of a challenge here...parking spaces are limited in front of the cafe so you may have to find parking nearby along the street. The coffee and delights are worth driving around a few times to find a parking space though. I will be back to try some of their other coffees/teas. read more

Wow! I've been hearing about Pangolin for quite some time and was so excited to try it recently. The barista that was working was so patient and kind. I ordered a cardamom latte with macadamia milk and it was so unique, spicy, and delicious! I loved that it wasn't overly sweet and more spice forward. I love coffee shops that prioritize using more herbal flavors instead of using lots of syrupy, sweet flavors for drinks. The decor is gorgeous, elegant but also comfy. They have really cozy velvet lounge chairs and beautiful life edge wooden tables. I also love that they include a Turkish delight with every drink (which is vegan btw). I ordered the vanilla rose Turkish delight and it was incredible! I will definitely return soon! read more

This is such a cute specialty coffee shop that I believe has a Turkish flair to it. I ordered the Turkish fog and yum! You can definitely taste the tea flavors and it's not drowned out by the milk or any sweetener. I believe every drink comes with a Turkish delight and boy the Turkish delight is fresh and amazeballs! The staff was super friendly and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable too. A hidden gem indeed. I'll be back. read more

I know I say this a lot, but this is probably my new favorite place. I was in the area for another errand, didn't even plan on going, but since I was there and always wanted to try it, I knew this was my chance! Safe to say, I am going to be returning often! I believe there is WiFi, so I can get some work done and have treats! The staff was very pleasant! I was given 3 Turkish Delights, and great flavor picks! Pistachio, Grapefruit, and Blood Orange. I honestly realized I am just going to purchase the sampler each time! I never tried Turkish Delight before. It's now all my sweet tooth wants! For my beverage, I chose the Cubano Breve. Absolutely the most delicious ! The atmosphere is so pleasant. read more

Went here on a trip from Reno, and my family loved it. Very nice staff, and they gave a free (and delicious) Turkish delight with the coffee. This spot def belongs in the nice Midtown area. The coffee had a nice, smooth nutty flavor, and it definitely kept me awake on the drive home back across the Sierra's. They have a parking lot in front that was a bit unclear of how to get into, but we were able to park in the side street with no issue. I definitely recommend and intend to come back read more

I had the most delicious pistachio latte accompanied by a complimentary Turkish delight. I selected the lavender pistachio-so good!

Really cute seating area with comfy armchairs and superb service. 100% recommend! read more

Classy, modern restaurant with excellent customer service! We passed through for breakfast on Virginia St, the up & coming, newly rehabbed Midtown connector to UNR. My son ordered iced coffee (complimentary Turkish delight) and the Original Liege waffle...gone in 1 min. He is a pretty finicky eater so this was a well deserved 5stars. Thank you Christine and team. read more

I can definitely see why this is nearly 5 stars with over 250 reviews. Our experience was really nice. It was our first time here and we wanted to try something different and fun. The workers were very welcoming. The coffee shop is a cute little place and nice atmosphere. We got a cubano breve, iced pistachio latte, and an Americano. The cubano breve was the perfect temperature and was so creamy with the right amount of sugar. I usually don't drink hot drinks, but I'll definitely get this again. The pistachio latte was also very delicious. The whipped cream tasted homemade and fresh. My favorite part was the pistachio crumble on top. It was sweet and had a little saltiness from the pistachio. Also we were so excited to be offered a complimentary Turkish delight on the side. I got lemon and my boyfriend got pistachio. Very good. We will definitely be back! And we have a punch card now to fill up for a free drink! read more

Another wonderful visit to my fave coffee shop! I always do my best to drop in when I visit from Sacramento. Usually I'm able to pop in Sunday morning before heading back home which was the case this last weekend. My last two visits I ordered teas thinking that they were coffees. I finally got a coffee and it was just as good as I imagined it to be! I ordered a cuban with oat milk and it was just heavenly. The staff is always so sweet and friendly and are always very helpful with any questions they get asked. Delicious flavors that didn't overpower the coffee. I also got my Turkish Delight! One of the special flavors was a blood or have and it was perfectly tart! I have so much love for this cute coffee shop and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. read more

An update since my last review, Pangolin still serves the same great tasting, well crafted coffee as it did when I first discovered them four years ago. Friendly baristas, classy environment, with chill music playing in the background. I recommend trying their seasonal coffees, a favorite of mine is the Cookie Crumb Latte (it's a winter season drink, so get it while it's available). They also serve some food like bagels, waffles, etc. Go check it out! read more

I had a cardamom latte and it was delicious. The drinks are unique and artfully presented. I really would have liked a Turkish coffee, but to my surprise, they don't make them.

pangolin is such a classic in reno, the addition of their delicious turkish delights really just puts it over the top for me. their coffee itself is flavorful and fruity, well made and delicious overall. they have a great array of drink options as well. i usually enjoy myself a cortado but i tried one of their flavored lattes and it was still fantastic. not too milky which is a common problem i have with flavored lattes. both me and my friends drink had a good balance of actual coffee and espresso flavor as well as the fruity latte flavor. service here is kind and fast, they pump out the drinks super efficiently and they'll give you recommendations on what's best. ambiance here is also nice, some people working and also plenty of people chatting. the interior is small but there's a nice outdoor patio space as well. overall i'll be returning! read more

I loved the Pangolin Cafe! I ordered a Pangolin Chai, a sesame bagel, and a variety pack of the delights. Everything was really good, and especially the Pangolin Chai. Although it did slip my mind to ask for the bagel to be toasted. The first thing I noticed was the peaceful classical music, which was a nice change of pace and the designs on all of the items we got were so cute. Hoping to go back soon and get a delights tin! read more
