Duran Coffee

Durán Coffee Store: The Coffee That Has Accompanied Generations of Panamanians

There are brands you try for the first time, and others that are woven into a country's collective memory. Café Durán belongs to the second category. Since 1907, its aroma has filled Panamanian homes, fondas, and mornings, and today its Durán Coffee Store Click to open side panel for more information at PH Santa Familia allows visitors to connect with that rich history through a freshly brewed cup. The story began in Gorgona, just a few years after the birth of the Republic. With the construction of the Canal, the company moved its operations to the city, where coffee was roasted, ground, and even sold wrapped in small newspaper packages. More than a century later, the brand continues working with coffee from local producers, including Arabica beans from Chiriquí and Robusta from Coclé.

From home coffeemaker to a contemporary coffee bar

Today's experience preserves that connection with Panamanian coffee while bringing it into a more modern format. At the counter, you'll find espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, flat white, and mochaccino, alongside cold beverages, frappés, and flavored lattes. The menu is rounded out with sweet pastries and savory bites. Durán also works with single-origin coffees from the Panamanian highlands, where altitude, volcanic soil, and microclimates directly shape the profile of each bean.

That makes a visit much more than a quick pit stop for caffeine. Sitting down at Durán means tasting a brand that has accompanied everyday life in Panama for over a century—now served in a cup made fresh to order.
