MY FIRST STARBUCKS IN BARBADOS!
Leto Coffee Brew Bar - San Francisco (INDIE)
Leto Coffee Brew Bar - San Francisco (INDIE)
Like Siete Granos, Leto Coffee Brew Bar also has three locations, and it was another cafe that I posted about in 2018, before I switched to IG. This place is a bit smaller, only a single floor, and can feel a bit cramped, as is the parking lot. Street parking is almost nonexistent in this area, but if you manage to find some, the cafe has both tall and short tables, outlets, and wifi if you need to hang out and work. Leto Roasts their own coffee, and I chose the rare bean not from Boquete, but rather the Santa Clara region. This was a Maragogipe warietal, something else I do not see often, prepared on a V60. As I expected from past wisits, the cup was merel okay, not great.

Siete Granos - San Francisco (INDIE)
Siete Granos has three locations in Panama City, and their original location in the San Francisco neighbourhood was another of my early Panamanian discoveries, and yet another post that I lost when stupid FB deleted my original page. Siete Granos brings in pretty good coffees from a few Panamanian roasters, often Don Pachi Estate, but today I had a honey processed coffee from Gato Solo Coffee Roasters, and it was merely okay. The space is a little darker than I'd prefer--not much natural lighting gets in, but if you can find parking, this is a pretty good hangout with wifi, outlets, and plenty of tables (only standard, not tall). Decor is minimal and includes a pair of photographs that would not be seen at an American cafe.
Mentiritas Blancas (INDIE)
Mentiritas Blancas (INDIE)
Mentiritas Blancas is just minutes from my usual hotel and is one of the earliest speciality coffeehouses I discovered in Panama, even back before I had to bring my mother here. I was never enthused with their coffee, and their wibe seems more like that of a restaurant than hangout. However, I lost my original post on a deleted FB page, so I returned for fresh pictures, and I tried their coffee once again. Still not impressed, BUT I will not that they are one of the few Panamanian cafes to offer coffee from another country, Colombia, so I might return for that reason.
Cabrera (INDIE)
Cabrera (INDIE)
Cabrera, recommended by a barista at Mancora, is yet another new coffeehouse in El Cangrejo, on the popular Via Argentina. Cabrera is spacious and offers filtre coffee--I had an excellent Chemex of a Typica warietal. What I dig most about this cafe is their decor, atypical for Panama because the owner leans into his love of F1 racing and Star Wars and proudly displays models on a wall and shelf.
Mancora (INDIE)
Mancora (INDIE)
Mancora is one of a series of newer coffeehouses that have opened in the last few years within walking distance of my hotel, in the area of Panama known as El Cangrejo. Unlike many of the Panamanian cafes, this place does offer filtre coffee, prepared on a V60, using beans roasted by Gran del Val, a roaster in the well-known coffee-growing region of Boquete. Mancora is smaller than Atypico, but they do offer some tall counter-style seats which I prefer.
Atypico (INDIE)
Atypico (INDIE)
Atypico Resto Bar is another such cafe easily walkable from my usual hotel. Spacious with a simple decor, Atypico has only standard tables, some next to outlets, and wifi, making this a decent hangout. Coffeewise, though, they only offer espresso drinks, using beans from Cafe Suarez. I had an okay Americano, but not a coffee that I need to rewisit.

This store is slightly unusual because although it has the exact same design as hundreds of others, that empty gray wall behind the Mobile Order Pick-Up station is quite odd, perhaps unique. Typically there would be some art or pattern there.
