Casa Sucre: Panamanian Coffee Within the Walls of a 1873 House
Having coffee in Casco Antiguo can be much more than simply sitting down with a cup. At Casa Sucre Coffeehouse, the story begins even before the first sip: the café occupies a former Spanish colonial house built in 1873, carefully restored and transformed into a boutique hotel and coffeehouse in the heart of San Felipe.
Located on Calle 8 and Avenida B, the house preserves details that reflect its past, while the interior offers different areas to enjoy your visit, including window-side seating, armchairs, sofas, and tables where you can have breakfast, chat, or simply take a break. Recent visitors have particularly highlighted the décor, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service.
A Cup Born in Panama’s Highlands
Coffee is the true star here. Casa Sucre works with specialty coffees from different Panamanian farms, particularly those in the Boquete region, and offers varieties such as the renowned Geisha. You can enjoy it in different preparations, from a cappuccino or latte to pour-over methods that allow you to better appreciate the characteristics of the beans.
The menu also includes breakfast, brunch, sandwiches, bagels, quiches, tamales, pastries, and other options, along with products you can take home. Recent visitors have mentioned dishes such as the El Nito sandwich, chocolate croissants, and different breakfast options.
For anyone exploring Casco Antiguo, Casa Sucre offers a special combination: step inside a house with nearly a century and a half of history and discover, within its walls, the flavor of one of the products that represents Panama to the world today.
