(Not all food shown) hands-down the best almond croissants. The sourdough bread makes you feel like you’re in San Francisco. Sometimes we stop by and get a full meal and sometimes something simple. Always great service, always great coffee, very clean food is always warm, and very fresh.

Went here once to pick up an order for my wife. I think she said shed visited there many, many times to catch up on research during lunch. For a small-er Cafe they have a pretty good breakfast offering....and to my surprise...they make your food on the spot!I thought the breakfast sandwich would be pre-made and sitting the case (nothingwrongwiththatof course)...but, no, no, no they put it all together right there with your requested preferences....while you wait. So my sandwich was piping hot!I tried to buy something a treat and a hot coffee for a lady sitting outside whom I thought was homeless, but she respectfully and sternly declined.They have ample seating both inside and out, so dont be a stranger....give their breakfast a try.

Coffee drinks a little pricey and not made per the description. Pastries looked good but did not try. Still better than Starbucks but as far as going back, I think well pass.

We bought some macaroons and a couple of croissants. It was ok. The macaroons seemed too spongy in my opinion and the croissants (at least the one I had) tasted a little stale. We did go in right before closing so maybe it was the time of day we went. Will give this a shot next time we’re in town although maybe this place is just not for me. A+ for service and cleanliness though.

The atmosphere of this cafe is priceless. The interior design and music choice of it makes it feel like you transported into another city. The food, especially the breakfast meals, are incredible.Although the staff was quite intimidating at first, they are really nice and polite. Tempted to go there every week, however it is indeed quite pricey but worth the price.

Food was great! Kids loved the ice cream! I tipped well. I should have not. All I wanted was my glass of wine. After 10 minutes my kids were done and my wine was done. But my wine wasn’t brought over. After checking I was told I would be brought my glass. 10 minutes later. Nothing. my wife went to check and was told it’ll be brought to us. After standing there we were finally given our drink by an irritated server. Simply wow! What was that!?!

We had a great time here! The food is a breath of fresh air compared to other restaurants. You can have a light but filling lunch or dinner and finish it off with gelato or one of their amazing pastries. They even have fresh bread for sale. Can’t wait to go back!

The place lives up to expectations with friendly and cheerful staff and a good selection of affordable healthy menu options. The ambiance of the place is very comfy and was conveniently located. This is a great place for any business meetings and dates as well. I highly recommend this coffee shop to everyone.

Good job! This coffee shop really has the best coffee thats best for me! Every time I come around here, the staffs are very polite and even greeted me enthusiastically. The coffee was really good, and thanks to this barista, who does it very well. It was a good place to hang out with friends and family.

Fantastic brunch. I had the three item omlette, my wife had a delicious french toast. We split an almond croissant and each had a very nice cup of coffee. The meal was fairly prices. Service was excellent and food was 5 star. The quantity, quality, and price were awesome 👍.We will do that again!

Review №23

First time visiting this cafe and it was an absolute delite! The employee Aadin was so a great employee really explaining everything to be from choices on the menu to each and every Macaron flavor in the display case. He really took his time to give suggestions on food and talked to me asking what I was in the mood for and went from there. Really great customer service which is hard to find now a days.I ended up getting a spicy chicken panini along with potatoe and cheddar soup which were recommended and they were both delicious! Had great flavor and bread which was made at the location was really good! A crunch and softness to it which was amazing. The soup could have been just a tad warmer but the flavor was great and extra cheesy! The bread really was good, I honestly try not to eat bread too often but it was hard to resist finishing it all which I did.For dessert I got a single Earl grey macaron (my favorite flavor) and it was pretty darn good. It came from a refrigerated case so I did let it that a little to room temperature and it was very good! Soft/fluffy shell with a crunch on the outside still. The flavor was light but still there to tell what it was. Very good. I ended up getting 12 to go and try many of the other flavors.After I ate I ordered a drink to go and it was also very good. A tea latte which a lot of places wont even do for me. He was excited to make it and took his time making sure it was made correcting and it tastes great!! I would go back just for the drink!Im excited to go back and try different things on the food menu and see what everything else tastes like.

It is optional for the food service employees here to wear masks, so they get a 1 star from me. We are still in the middle of a pandemic and I’m not comfortable with unmasked people handling my food. I hope they reconsider this irresponsible stance.

I am giving it 5 stars because they are so friendly and everything was delicious except for the french onion soup. It was very peppery and tasted like bullion. Skip that and try everything else. Yum!

What kind of French place doesnt have crepes?! I drove over an hour to get here, waited in line for 15 minutes, and then the guy at the counter tells me they have no crepes. Ridiculous.

Review №32

Have been a fan of this location in its various iterations. So glad that Pandor kept the gelato and paninis. We all enjoyed our different plates and desserts. The Orange Circle has Glassell blocked off for through traffic and the restaurants including Pando have outside dining in an open air tent.Overall a great experience.

Review №41

I gotta say that the pastries here at Pandor are probably among the most delicious Ive had anywhere. Probably not the healthiest, but the most delicious.Pandors little twist on the cross bred donut/croissant, called the Dornut is a flakey, buttery fried dough of goodness! Fill it with vanilla custard cream and its out of this world. Besides the signature donut, they make make beignets, danishes, savoury breakfast dishes and sandwiches. Mimosas are served with real OJ and personally, I think that makes a huge difference!Service is good as well. Akin to the service at a European café. The space inside is long, with sufficient space for multiple parties of 6 plus people.Overall a great place. Just wouldnt be able to make it a weekly ocurance. They are on the pricier side and I would probably pack on 600lbs.Cheers!!

We tried this place for breakfast and it didnt disappoint. I had the quiche florentine which had a very nice consistency, not too dry. My husband had the egg sandwich and that was a portion big enough for two along with diced potatoes which were pretty tasty. Decent sitting outside as well.

Best almond croissant I’ve had which is really unfortunate considering the poor customer service, terrible management, and incredibly toxic environment. Employees but especially management also wear masks below the nose which is just not ideal in the middle of covid. On top of this my order has been messed up on numerous occasions, and they leave food uncovered?? Anyway, I’ll still be going for the almond croissants but pretty gross vibes regardless

Pandor has a great location, located just off the Orange Circle, and is an easy walk from your car. A wide open entrance with a few tables on the outside invite you for quick easy dining. Inside, I found a disarray of tables, and immediately began to feel warm, waiting in line along a counter of desserts and pastries, with the order counter at the end of the line. There is a medium sized monitor near the front of the line, making it somewhat difficult for first-timers, to determine what they will order, while waiting in a long line. Did I mention, it was somewhat warm in there? Fans and air-conditioning would have made it much more comfortable for waiting to order and dining.The plates of food looked inviting as it was served to our table. I would say it was good, but did not surpass any expectations. Portions were average. I have visited Pandor twice, as other family members have enjoyed dining here. For the money, the atmosphere, comfort and food, for me, it was just okay.

Impressive selection of breakfast items (including a good eggs Benedict and both sweet and savoury crepes), amazing selection of pastries and some beers!I dont know what is called, but I had something made with the same dough as a croissant but baked differently. It was one of the best baked goods Ive ever had.They accommodated our large party of approximately 12 people and let us rearrange the tables and stay for a fairly long time. I went with a native French person and she was quite satisfied. Great service, amazing food!

Bakery/cafe located right across the park that’s currently offering al fresco dining options as well as takeout during coronavirus. Decided to have some dessert and take a load off. There’s plenty of outdoor seating and it’s all shaded (seat yourself). Masks are required and they do enforce social distancing. I like that they do have beers (~$5) so if you don’t have a sweet tooth like my dad, you can just enjoy a cold one (just remember to ask them to open it while you’re inside the store).My one qualm is that the stracciatella gelato wasn’t as creamy as I’d hope it would be, and there was a dearth of chocolate mixed in. Gelato flavors were pretty standard, and they have a small/medium/large option which amounts to having 1 scoop/2 scoops/3 scoops. Alas they don’t have waffle cones, but they do have a variety of pastries and baked goods. They accept credit cards. For parking, we found street parking but be sure to read the posted signs. Otherwise there are public parking lots available.

Okay so I havent tried many of their items but their pizza is amazing. Definitely worth a try if youre in the area. We also got a croissant which was great but I think I prefer Tartine in this category. Then again Tartine is a high bar with a ridiculous wait. Definitely want to try more items if Im ever in the area.

This was such a fun place, very much like a pastry shop in Europe. They have indoor and outdoor seating. With a great breakfast, lunch, brunch menu. The K2 is definitely a shareable breakfast/dessert. The fruity pebbles on the top add fun color and and nice texture difference!
