Starbucks: A Familiar Pause Among the Historic Streets of Casco Antiguo
Amid the historic facades, plazas, and streets of San Felipe, there is a stop that feels familiar to travelers from around the world. Starbucks | Casco Antiguo is located on Avenida A and Calle 9, inside Portal de Caldas, across from Plaza Herrera, bringing the well-known international coffee chain to one of the city’s most historic neighborhoods.
Starbucks arrived in Panama in 2015, and the Casco Viejo location became the brand’s 16th store in the country. Its setting is part of the appeal: the café occupies a narrow building next to the plaza, with seating where you can take in the activity around this part of the neighborhood. Inside, a tropical-inspired mural adds a detail that connects the café with its Panamanian surroundings.
