Panama City, bridging the Americas, is a melting pot of cultures, histories, and excellent coffee shops. As remote work becomes more prevalent, the city’s café scene has adapted, offering spaces that combine high-speed internet, comfortable work environments, and exceptional coffee. Let’s delve into the city’s best spots to combine productivity with the pleasure of a good brew.

The branch in Caso Viejo, is offering spacious seating, quiet surroundings, high-speed Wi-Fi, and power outlets aplenty. This coffee bar is part of the American Trade Hotel.

The Best View: Baloo Café
Baloo Café is a favorite among those who appreciate a scenic rooftop combined with strong coffee and healthy food options. It’s an ideal spot for remote workers looking for a less traditional work setting, offering a mix of indoor (downstairs) and outdoor seating (upstairs), fast Wi-Fi, and a friendly, laid-back vibe. When you enter Baloo Café it is not obvious they have a rooftop, but ask for it and you will be able to sit and work from there. It can get hot but with a little breeze it is definitely worth it.
