About Pandor Artisan Bakery and Café

Pandor Artisan Bakery and Café offers a mixed experience. While the customer service can be lacking at times, the food quality shines through. The French toast, Eggs Benedict, coffee, and pastries are highly recommended. The bakery is often crowded, but finding a cozy spot is usually possible. The Lebanese breakfast, sandwiches, omelets, gelato, cakes, and desserts are all delightful. It's a great spot to work or relax, and kids are welcome too. The food quality and friendly staff make it worthwhile.

The bakery has an enormous selection of goodies to choose from and is a busy establishment with long lines. However, the staff is fast and friendly to help get orders in a timely fashion. There is limited seating inside, but more on the outside to accommodate. Vegetarian options, such as salads, are available, and the bakery is wheelchair accessible, though it may feel a bit narrow. Parking is available in the shared parking lot.

Recent visitors found Pandor Café in Jamboree at the Marketplace to be a cute, casual spot ideal for quick coffee, study sessions, or friendly chats. Customer service was praised as polite and welcoming, with a good range of savory items, café drinks, teas, and some ice cream. It’s a good place for a casual catch-up or relaxing with a book. However, some found the Caesar salad average, with tough grilled chicken and not much flavor, indicating room for improvement. The restroom could be cleaner, and adding hooks for purses or jackets would enhance comfort. Overall, the management seems attentive, making it a decent choice for a laid-back coffee shop vibe.

Many visitors come just for coffee and a pastry, with the food generally being delicious. The Dubai chocolate dessert has been described as AMAZING, though some noted the price increased significantly and suggested reducing the size and price since it is quite big and hard to finish. The marzipan cake with peach marshmallow frosting is also well-liked, but again, a smaller slice might be preferable. The café is a perfect place to enjoy a wonderful coffee and pastry, with the staff, especially the manager Sabine, known for excellent customer care.
