Wonderful food and people. Very friendly and patient if you don'tspeak Spanish. Very nice setting, but it's a bit noisy with traffic going by. Prices are reasonable and the food is presented very nicely. Serving illy coffee. There is a very limited amount of seating,...so getting a table may depend on what time you go.More

Good coffee and shockingly good food for a walk-up type place. One of the best smoothies I've ever had.

Try to find a salad in Panama-they don’t eat many of them. We were wandering near our hotel in the centro district and stumbled on this little outdoor space. Thought we would have coffee we were in Panama for 5 weeks and when we returned...repeatedly to Panama City would eat lunch or dinner here. Food is simple but consistently good.More

Came here with my partner for an early lunch and we loved everything about this place. It’s a cute food truck with tables and chairs outside. My coffee was the best coffee I have had in Central America and whilst we waited for our food...to arrive we were brought some bread and the garlic dip it came with was amazing. I ordered a caprese bagel and my partner ordered the salmon fillet wrap, the actual bagel was toasted nicely with a good amount of pesto, tomato and mozzarella and the French fries were nice and crispy. We both walked away saying it was possibly the best bagel/wrap we have ever had. Would highly recommend coming here and might go again ourselves as there was so much on the menu we wanted to try. I may have been impatient and eaten half of my bagel before I took the photo though.More

Ate there 6 times between January 25,2023 to January 31, 2023. Sometimes breakfast, sometimes for lunch. All the times the food it’s Amazing… sometimes it’s slow to received the food but it’s deserved every minutes of wait. The best latte in town. The only critic...I can say, it’s the waitress don’t speak English and I think it’s would be nice to be served in our language specially by the server. I highly recommend that place to everyone. The prices are very affordable.More

Truly amazing food and service at such a small and inconspicuous location. It's a very well done outdoor environment with lots of activity happening around the seating area. The food (club sandwich and Avocado bagel) were the best! Iced coffee was tasty and the hot...mocha was perfectly done. There are plenty of coffee shops around the city but this one is really worthy of finding for some total culinary satisfaction.More

This cafe will blow your mind! The ingredients are incredibly fresh and the service is great. Highly recommend the spearmint/pineapple smoothie, salmon benedict, caprese salad, and club sandwich. It was so good we came back two days in a row!

We were in Panama City for a couple of days and were looking for some good coffee (one person in our group is very fussy about his coffee). We visited Coffee Max Panama after seeing all the good reviews. It is a very cute food...trailer and when we saw the menu, we thought it wasn't possible to have all that food and drinks come out of that little kitchen. We were so pleasantly surprised. Our coffees and milkshake were amazing. All served so elegantly and with such great care for all the little details. We wanted to come back when we were actually hungry so we came back again and had a fantastic meal. Three of us ordered hamburgers. They were absolutely delicious and huge. Even with their limited English they were able to understand our special requests. Another person in our party ordered the salmon with spaghetti. It was plated so perfectly and he really enjoyed the dish. It is outdoors under a nice covered porch with up to date decor furnishings and the food is quite upscale. The owner and staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We highly recommend you give Coffee Max Panama a try.More

The food was amazing. The presentation absolutely gorgeous and the taste was out of this world. Excellent quality. I had the salad max with salmon and my husband had the Shakshooka. Both were delicious. The lemonade was fantastic as was the smoothie. The coffee was...the best! The service was courteous and quick, the decor casual and pleasant and the food surprisingly superb.More

I lived in Panamá for six months and came to Coffee Max regularly. Their food is always fresh and the coffee and smoothies are fantastic. The staff is accommodating and welcoming. I liked their Greek sandwich, omelette, club sandwich and salads.

Good food, good size portions. This is a cafe out of a food truck. It's on the corner of a busy intersection but just means more people watching. Quick service.
