"Even if you don't buy anything the place alone is a great time. The coffee is full to the top of the to go cup, no frills or anything just straight strong coffee. Real good stuff too. Plenty of seating across different levels, top floor, ground floor and basement level. All give you different ambiances. On a Monday afternoon this place wasn't over packed but I don't imagine it ever is with people coming and going after coffee. I didn't see too many places to plug in computer by the way. And I didn't detect wifi. That being said, it's nice to sit around and take in the day. It slows everything down and if nothing about the location catches your eye, the fact that this coffee shop repurposed a train station will. Great place to stop by."

"Really cool, old-school coffee shop with tons of character. The interior is warm and nostalgic, with walls lined with jars of loose-leaf tea, vintage displays, local gifts, and even free stickers at the counter which is a nice touch. Their tea selection is impressive, and the coffee itself is genuinely good. That said, service was noticeably slow, and the staff wasn’t as welcoming as you’d typically expect from a neighborhood coffee spot with this kind of charm. The atmosphere and product quality are there, but the customer service could definitely match the vibe a bit more. Overall, still a solid stop if you appreciate character and quality drinks, just don’t expect fast or overly friendly service."

"Always a great time stopping by the Pannikin! My favorite coffee shop in all of SD. Although I do not live locally like I once did growing up I stop here every single time I’m in town! Great coffee and amazing pastries."

"spacious. really nice staff. fast and efficient. all the food is super delicious and accommodating for veggie folks. really love coming here whenever i am in town, and the coffee is strong and delicious as well. wish we had more spots this good in the east coast"

"Really tried liking this place but I’ve never been impressed, especially with how much you’re paying. Ordered a breakfast sandwich and asked them to add on bacon (extra $3). Paid $8 for a matcha latte that literally tasted like 90% water. Got my breakfast sandwich and turns out their $3 bacon comes from a bag of bacon bits. $3 for bacon bits is crazy. Not to mention the not so friendly staff this time around. This place is cute but I am consistently disappointed every time."
