Our favorite little coffee shop breakfast spot. Tucked away down a quaint walking alley just off 20th street in 5 Points, this little gem delivers every time. Always friendly service, and deliciously perfect lattes and coffee drinks. The avacado toast is by far the best in town, and my wife loves the belgian waffles. Best oatmeal bowl you can find, loaded with fruit, seeds and nuts. ?

Tucked away from the noise and crowd of Five Points. Panache always feels friendly and approachable. The drinks are good, the food is good, and the staff are helpful and kind.

As other Yelpers have said--this place is such a gem. I had heard about Domestique Coffee, but was not aware that there was a brick and mortar establishment. It's on the Southside down the cute alley next to where the old waffle house used to be. The inside is quite small, but cozy and can probably seat 9 to 10 people comfortably, including the 2-3 seats at the bar. There are ample tables outside in the alleyway/breezeway (tables of 2). The stand out is the coffee. I don't like frills. I'm an avid coffee drinker (black, no sweetener) so I judge coffee shops based on the coffee at a foundational level. Today's brew was Dominican Republic (YESSS) and lucky me, they had it in cold brew. First, they don't overcrowd your coffee with tons of ice, and the ice cubes are dense so they keep the coffee cold without watering it down. And the coffee was delightful--strong, bold, yet smooth. It was perfect honestly. I sat inside and even got some work done. Customers trickle in and out and the barista took care to solidly interact with everyone. My new secret go-to when I'm on the southside.

Great little hole in the wall off of the Main Street, I almost always see a local neighbor in here. Small cafe area, top notch coffee. I’m usually just a black coffee and their batch brew is some of the best in town.

Panache is a cool little shop you access from the alley. Excellent cappuccino and food. We've had the avocado toast twice and it is delicious. The very sweet young person who served us was attentive and friendly. The little tables in the alley are great when the weather is good. We'll be back soon.Parking: It's 5 Points South, so you can look for street parking on 20th or 11th, or try a paid lot nearby. Not bad on weekend mornings.

Love this place! Quiet & quaint coffee shop located down an alley in 5points south. I love everything about it! It feels very homie and wish there was a Panache location in every city I travel to! From the local art work hanging on the walls, the vinyl playing on the counter, the the friendly faces behind the counter greeting you as soon as you step in this place gives me a warm, free, and beautiful feeling! I've had 4 different items from their menu and they have all been delicious. I am not a coffee drinker however when I saw they had a Haitian blend I couldn't pass it up. I've traveled to Haiti many times and their coffee is definitely some of the best I've had. Here at Panache I ordered a caramel latte with oat milk and it was great! Their oatmeal with raspberry blueberries, walnuts, sprinkled with cinnamon, and steamed oat milk was delicious and filling. Their blueberry muffins (warmed) are scrumptious as well! But my absolute favorite has to be their Chai latte!! Omg! Perfection in a cup! What more can I say!And to the gentlemen that served me on the morning of 10/19 and the lady this morning 10/20 (did not get either of their names) they were awesome! 10/10 customer service!

Coffee was great! Big selection of beans from around the world and the atmosphere in the ally it’s located is cute except for the smell outside which smells like a downtown ally.

I was super excited to try this place. The ice latte is great but the service for me was horrible. The young lady didn’t even greet me when I came to the counter. She was rude and gave off the energy she didn’t want me to be there. I’m happy I came to try it but I won’t be back.

I stopped in today and got an iced latte with honey cardamom add in syrup and OMG it blew my tastebuds up! Absolutely wonderful, I wish I could have one every day!

It's a cute, hidden coffee shop in five points. The staff is super friendly and the coffee is good. They sell food items too, but it's a little overpriced. The area inside is VERY small, so keep that in mind if you plan on going there to study. When I went, there were two people set up and no space for my friend and I, so we sat outside.
