Al Alma Café: Brunch and Specialty Coffee Across from Plaza Catedral
On one of the most iconic corners of Casco Antiguo, facing Plaza de la Independencia, there is a café that invites you to start your day at a slower pace. Al Alma Café, located on the ground floor of Casa Lefevre on Calle 5a Este, combines specialty coffee, all-day brunch, and a Colombian-inspired menu in a modern and welcoming setting.
The brand was founded in Colombia, and its location in Panama represents its first international expansion. Its setting brings a contemporary concept into one of San Felipe’s most recognizable historic surroundings. Inside, pastel tones, colorful décor, and a small courtyard create a cozy atmosphere that makes it especially inviting to stay awhile.
Brunch to Enjoy at Any Time of Day
One of its biggest highlights is its all-day brunch. The menu features different versions of Eggs Benedict, served on sourdough with hollandaise sauce and options such as ham, bacon, ropa vieja, chicken, or salmon. You can also find the Al Alma Club Sandwich, French Toast Sandwich, Caribbean Power Bowl, sourdough pizzas, and açai bowls.
Specialty coffee also plays an important role, making a visit here more than just a quick stop. You can settle in for breakfast or lunch, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy the activity around the plaza. The café also offers Wi-Fi, an indoor courtyard, and is pet-friendly.
For visitors exploring Casco Antiguo, Al Alma Café offers a relaxing break where Colombian-inspired flavors, specialty coffee, and a contemporary atmosphere meet the historic charm of Plaza de la Independencia, creating the perfect spot to savor San Felipe at your own pace.
