This is a MUST for coffee enthusiasts! Had the best coffee I’ve had so far in my life, enjoying the experience of tasting its sweetness, aroma and acidity in 3 different layers and temperatures, with the friendliest, most polite and service oriented staff I’ve experienced in Panama. Also had the Avo Toast -> top class! The bread was incredible and was lucky enough to actually have a terrific flavor match with the Geisha coffee I had to finish my meal! Coming to Panama and not having a stop at Mentiritas Blancas is like not coming to Panama at all! Great job Gian K and team!

Not cheap… but very good! The croissant I had an the matcha latte were heavenly! 5/5 recommend. Very good breakfast / lunch place in an nice neighborhood

Fantastic place for breakfast. The Señor Mon is 👌🏻 and the empanadas... prob one of the best you'll ever try. The Croissant's 🥐 are so fresh and flaky! Be aware that on Sunday's they run a reservation scheme every 1hr30min.

Nice coffee place with some good breakfast. They get full over the weekends, and may not be able to offer a space so better to book ahead. The staff are friendly and one of the girl speaks good English. The small seating table outside with 4 chairs offers good views of the street. The breakfast bowl (in my photos) is recommended. Recommended…!

Very nice cafe with excellent coffee in options, tasty pastry and very helpful, friendly team there. Enjoyed a nice mocha, sweet chocolate chip bar and fast internet. Recommended for sure!

Love love love this place! The food is very good but the pour over coffee is amazing. 👌 I highly recommend the Cobb salad. Get the Chicho Gallo pour over coffee. There's also this bar with coconut and chocolate that is to die for (don't remember the name).

Awesome food and definitely worth going to try the Panama Geisha coffee! Service is 11/10, some of the owner's friends helped us translate and order, very chill vibes here. In our short 5 day stay, we came twice for breakfast! Probably would have been more if we found this place earlier.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to spend it with your friends or your partner. Cozy atmosphere and unique attention. (Original) Excelente lugar para pasarla con tus amistades o tu pareja. Ambiente acojedor y atención única.

Great little cafe with good coffee, brunch and desserts, it would be my daily hangout if I was living in this part of the city!

If you come here, I would order the Las Lojones filtered coffee and the El Criminal sandwich (smoked salmon with avocado, sprouts, and egg on a croissant). Mentiritas Blancas (aka Little White Lies) a good coffeeshop but the coffee leader in this area is Paddle Coffee Roasters. (January 2018)

A very good place to start the day with a delicious breakfast 🍳! It is a café and a restaurant within, with an splendid menu with affordable prices, and nice music with a charming crew serving excellence to customers. 👍👍👍

Amazing food & amazing coffee! They sell coffee beans!

Rather cute place...excellent for coffee drinkers...great for breakfast...not cheap...not the greatest service either...

The food is really amazing. I recommend you try the desserts and different kind of coffee they offer.

Good coffee + Great spot 🌈🌈 Love it! But if you get overwhelmed by to many people and noise I would recommend to go any day between 8am and 10am. Also do not go in Sunday because it is CRAY CRAY ALL DAY! unless you don't mind, either way great spot

Not sure what the fuss is all about. Average looking place, expensive for what it is ($4 for a cappuccino). Tried reading a book but the noise and shouting made it impossible. No outdoor seating, service ok at best.

(Translated by Google) I loved this place, the atmosphere, their food and the craft beer they have (I share a photo of the beer). I don't give it the five stars because the person who brought me the food looks very depressing and insecure ... (Original) Me encantó este lugar, el ambiente, su comida y la cerveza artesanal que tienen (les comparto una foto de la cerveza). No le doy las cinco estrellas porque la persona que me llevó la comida se mira muy deprimente e insegura...

A must do in Panama City. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. The food is delicious and well-priced. Take an Uber or metro, parking is nightmare in the area.

Great coffee and breakfast bowl (omelette and avocado with salad and vread), I went here after a gym session and it hit the spot just right! Stayed here working for a couple hours and I really enjoyed the ambiance!

Nice atmosphere, great croissants & coffee, the staff spoke fluent English as well. Would definitely return to sample more of their menu offerings.

Beautiful coffee! One of the best places in Panama to have high quality coffee including Geisha! Atmosphere is great! My avocado toast was ok but the burrito breakfast was absolutely amazing! Must visit in Panama!

If you are looking only for the food experience I prefer coffee brew. Other than that, it's an amazing place w great atmosphere (go EARLY, it's full @9am)

This place has some great food and coffee. Our issue is the service. Every time we go we can't help feeling a little annoyed with the staff. If it was not for that we would likely go more often since it is 2 minutes from our place.

A Great place to start your morning. The place is a little small, but cousy. The service is very good and has a good variety of dishes.

1st time and it was not that good, coffee was great, however the service was dull, it was not full as it was early, and the girl already had a sad face, didnt smile, was super dry and like she didnt want to be there... bread was really hard to chew and the empanadas were cold on the inside as it was reheated or microwaved.... i may give a second chance but not now.... i need to see good reviews....

Breakfast is good and the size is HUGE. I thought pour over was too harsh but I loved their flatwhite.

Came here to try the geisha coffee and it did not disappoint. The place is cute and has games and colouring for adults. Lots of coffee options, as well as hot chocolate, tea and breakfast. Prices are reasonable.

i really enjoyed my visit!!! the restaurant was full in good people vibe!!! a lot of energy, good ambient, excellent customer service, and food; toast with guacamole and eggs simply satisfying, and French toast outstanding!

The décor is not very special or appealing. And the service varies between friendly and helpful to "I just work here, let someone else smile at you". That said, the menu is great and the quality of food and drinks, too. So, if you don't expect to be pampered beyond compare, this might be a great coffee shop for you. I will come again.

Great hip cafe near via Argentina. Their coffee is truly amazing: you can get an excellent cappuccino (with local coffee) or try the very unique, tea-like Geisha coffee. We also liked *a lot* their sweet breakfast dishes (pancakes, French toasts..)

Panamanian Specialty Coffee shop offering an all day breakfast menu, sandwiches and sweets. Very knowledgeable about the cup they serve. Friendly staff and good vibes. Pet friendly.

This was a stop for one of my tours and let me tell you they have the best empanadas and I had the best coffee while in Panama here.

One of the most cozy coffee spots in panama city. Incredible atmosphere and good coffee! I love they always serve any type of coffees just so perfect temperature you can enjoy right away. They know real coffee. Their brunch or lunch menu are so delicious and very homey kinda foods.

Excellent place for breakfast or brunch. Not too pricey. Tasty food and great ambiance

Amazing coffee, food and service

We went on a busy morning and the service was very poor. Prices are high, although the quality is good. Not a first choice to return in the future.

Staff helped me inside in my wheelchair. I am partially paralyzed and can use one leg so I'd say the place is semi handicapped accessible if you can stand and be assisted up stairs. Friendly staff showed me their menu and baked goods. Beans were great. Food was great. Got some extras to take home from their store and enjoyed a great atmosphere. The area it's in was a nice short get away about 10 minutes from out hotel. Definitely with it for coffee lovers.

Excellent place for coffee pastries and "empanadas". Good coffee is their specialty and Gian Carlos is very helpful in explaining the origins of the coffee of your choices and enhancing your overall experience.

Nice coffee. Average food and customer service

noisy, crowded, not too clean and expensive. I drank better coffee in less promoted places. Not a must go place.

Friendly run place,great food choice,well made and presented. Had parfait for breakfast,granola and yoghurt,fruit and pancakes. Really great place

Great food and service👌🏾

A dog friendly coffee shop. Although is not huge their furniture is well distributed. They have a variety of breakfast, coffee is great by the way, and light lunch options. They serve dessert and beer as well.

I spent a night in Panama City before heading out , I made a quick stop to this coffee place . I first came to know about it because I watched a documentary about Geisha coffee and aside from being the Coffee of choice for the Japanese imperial house and, the fact that a pound of it was sold for 803$ i was like “I have to try this coffee” . So mentiritas Blanca was the only place that has this coffee . I didn’t try anything else at the coffee shop only this coffee . I was pleasantly surprise ! It is def a coffee with a very different taste very floral a mix between coffee and tea . I had it black to be able to taste the coffee bean . It’s not your normal coffee taste . You have to be open minded and be ready to try something exotic . Furthermore , there is a certain way they make this coffee, the preparation itself it’s a skill and lovely to watch . I hope next time I can visit the farms in Chiriqui, where this coffee comes from . They gave me a lot of it and I didn’t want to waste it, therefore I drank it all ...let me tell you, I had energy for the whole day ...and some More .

Great ambience for good coffee and food. Love this place. Self service and they have a bottomless coffee for a few dollars extra. The type of cafe we love to hang out in.

Amazing place to go have brunch. Servers are amazing. The atmosphere is tremendous. I highly recommend this place.

Great atmosphere, even better coffee and desserts.

In my travels through the city, I have stopped at dozens of coffee places to try their specialties. It’s difficult to find a bad cup of coffee in Panama, but to find a place that truly stands out is a treat. This is that place! The staff is wonderful—extremely knowledgeable about their products, its manufacturing processes, and the farms from which it comes. The baristas are experts when it comes to making coffee—you will see them measuring portions by the bean to make a perfect cup. For coffee connoisseurs the world over, you absolutely must visit Mentiritas Blancas. Serendipitously, their pastries and food are amazingly good, too! You will not be disappointed; any trip to Panama should include multiple stops here.

My wife's salad had a worm! Not a good experience and ruined our breakfast. Worst part, all they did was not charge for the salad. No other compensation , should have at least discounted the meal.
