Temporarily Closed – Pannekoek Pop-Up Café Summertown
Are you a coffee enthusiast who loves to enjoy your favorite brew in the company of your furry friends? Look no further than Pannekoek Pop-Up Café, nestled within the vibrant space of BIA restaurant in Summertown. This charming café is not only a haven for coffee lovers but also a delightful spot for dog enthusiasts like us.
A Dog-Friendly Oasis
The first thing that caught our attention at Pannekoek Pop-Up Café was its warm and welcoming atmosphere for our four-legged companions. With a pet-friendly policy in place, the café invites you to bring along your furry friends to share in the experience. Our dog Oak wagged her tail in approval as we settled into the cozy outdoor seating area.
Local Flavors and Brews
If you’re a fan of locally sourced delights, Pannekoek Pop-Up Café has you covered. The café proudly serves coffee from the Dark Horse Roastery, a nearby coffee producer renowned for its rich and flavorful blends. We savored every sip of our coffee, knowing it was not only delicious but also supporting the local community.
Tea enthusiasts will find joy in the diverse range of loose teas from Birds and Blend. It’s a delightful touch that adds variety to the menu, catering to different tastes and preferences. The loose tea selection, sourced locally by Alex the cafes manager, is a testament to the café’s commitment to quality and locality.
Meet the Faces Behind the Counter
The heart of Pannekoek Pop-Up Café lies in its dedicated and friendly staff. Alex, the maestro behind the counter, runs the show with passion and a welcoming smile. His working cocker spaniel, Tilly, often joins him, adding an extra layer of charm to the café’s ambiance. In fact, if you’re a regular visitor and a coffee lover, you might find yourself collecting loyalty stamps featuring the adorable Tilly. It’s a small yet delightful gesture that adds a personal touch to the café experience. Also you might be lucky enough to meet another local dog called pumpkin who regularly pops in with his owner J.Priest a local locksmith.
Apart from being a coffee connoisseur, Alex doubles as a bike fitter—a unique combination that reflects the café’s diverse and dynamic character. Ugur and Emily, the other friendly faces you’ll encounter, complete the team, ensuring your visit is not just about the coffee but also about the genuine hospitality.
A Taste of Summertown’s Culture
Pannekoek Pop-Up Café is not just a coffee stop; it’s a cultural hub waiting to blossom. While we enjoyed our time sipping coffee, we learned that the restaurant, BIA, plans to introduce live music in the near future. This exciting addition promises to elevate the overall experience, turning your coffee outing into a full-fledged sensory delight.
Sweet Treats and Local Goodies
Our visit wouldn’t be complete without indulging in some locally made chocolate, from Russell and AtWell, a perfect companion to our coffee. The café’s commitment to showcasing local flavors extends beyond beverages, providing a holistic experience for visitors seeking a taste of Summertown.
In conclusion, our visit to Pannekoek Pop-Up Café at BIA was a delightful journey into the heart of Summertown’s culinary and cultural scene. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast, a dog lover, or someone looking for a cozy spot to unwind, this café ticks all the boxes.
