Pannikans is coffee shop discovery #2 in my cross-country move. I actually found it while driving to Loft Coffee on a Friday and saw a line coming out the door. That's when you know it's good! This gem is located inside an old, big, yellow house just outside of Encinitas in Leucadia (another long trek for me but oh so worth it).

It's very quaint. They have fantastic outdoor picnic table seating on their lawn, and patio seating on the lower and upper levels. The indoor seating is quite cute as the wooden walls are well decorated by work of local artists and large letters spelling out "soul" & "love" as well of a wall featuring community flyers for local businesses, artists, and events.

So the setting is great, but what about the coffee?! Well it's great! I've really taken to the double almond milk latte, which looks so beautiful in the tall glasses they serve it in. The iced teas are also great. While they do serve full breakfast plates I have never partaken in them because their pastry case just calls my name. And I haven't ventured too far into all the sweet goodness in it because the pie calls my name louder than the rest. Yes, pie. I. Freakin. Love. Pie. So many god pies too! They have fruity like apple, cherry, raspberyy or rhubarb. PLus they have yummy cream pies as well. It's hard for me to go and not get pie.

This is a great place to take people since they have great seating options and food that all will like. They supposedly have wifi but I didnt see their name listed so I just used my phone as a hotspot while there. So if you are looking to get work done call I'd call and ask beforehand, otherwise Lofty Coffee is great (or I mean Starbucks too). I highly recommend this place as a friend hangout as well as a solo visit. I go solo to relax, write or read. Also to eat pie.
