 Pantler: A Quiet Spot for Thoughtful Treats

I first stumbled across Pantler while looking for a place to grab a last-minute gift on the way to a friend’s dinner party. I ended up picking out a few of their cream puffs and a yuzu cheesecake, and honestly, I kind of regretted not keeping one for myself. Since then, it’s become a spot I return to whenever I want a little treat—or when I need to impress someone with a dessert that feels fancy without trying too hard.

The vibe inside Pantler is calm and clean, with soft lighting and a modern look that doesn’t feel cold. It’s the kind of place where you can sit down for a quiet coffee, get some reading done, or just take a breather from the city. I’ve popped in a few times on slower weekend afternoons just to enjoy a pastry and chill for a bit, and it’s always a reliably peaceful experience.

My go-to order is the cream puff and a long black—the puff is crisp on the outside, filled with light, just-sweet-enough cream, and pairs perfectly with a strong coffee. Their fig tart and seasonal creations are great too, and I like that they rotate their offerings without losing their signature style. Most of the pastries range from around $4 to $9, and while it’s not everyday-snack cheap, it feels fair for the quality and presentation.


If I had to give one bit of feedback, it would be that the dine-in space fills up quickly, especially on weekends. The interior is beautiful but quite limited when it comes to seating, so if you’re planning to catch up with someone over coffee or just sit down for a quiet afternoon treat, it can be hit-or-miss. Since there’s no reservation system or real way to check availability ahead of time, you kind of just have to show up and hope for the best.

A simple online update system or a virtual waitlist could really help improve the experience for customers who want to dine in. Even something like an Instagram story update during peak hours or a table tracker on their website would go a long way. A place as refined as Pantler deserves a smoother dine-in experience to match the quality of its food and atmosphere.

Still, Pantler remains one of my favorite hidden gems. Whether I’m picking up a dessert to bring to a friend’s house or just stopping by for a slow coffee break, it always delivers. If you appreciate thoughtful pastries in a calm, no-fuss setting, this is one to keep on your radar.
