This delightful experience was all thanks to Panther Cafe's expert preparation.”

What to Avoid (2)

Food 1

  1. Sausages Net −1
    “2. Pizza was hard and dry. I didn't mind the bacon but it wasn't listed on the menu. Sausages were dry as the photo shows. Not sure how you validated it wasn't the case.”

Drinks 1

  1. Flat white Net −1
    “The flat white is the size of a double espresso, and the prices are high. If you decide to serve such a small flat white at that price, then you clearly don’t have a clear idea of what you’re doing.”

The Bottom Line

Panther Cafe is a bright, panther-themed cafe in District 12 K that works especially well for breakfast, coffee and a quiet change of scene. You can settle in with the P breakfast, try the large English breakfast, or order a matcha latte; Colombian V60 filter coffee is another useful find for people who prefer a brewed cup. The room is repeatedly described as peaceful, airy and suitable for working, meetings or simply taking a break.

Natural light, distinctive decor and a pet-friendly policy add to its appeal, while reviewers also mention free parking and plenty of spaces outside. The club sandwich and tiramisu have both earned specific praise, and service is usually described as warm and attentive. There are a few reasons to manage expectations.

Coffee opinions are not uniform, and one guest found the flat white tiny for its price. Another reported a 35–40-minute wait, dry pizza and sausages, while a separate visit found pancakes came with only one sliced strawberry. Early-morning cleaning reportedly left the doors open and allowed flies inside.

For takeaway, double-check that avocado toast matches your expectation and request cutlery before leaving.
