    Excellent coffee and freshly made cold pressed juices right when you arrive from Almirante by boat. They also have a good wifi connection and healthy food options (especially liked the granola fruit bowl). It's a great option for chilling or getting something to go before going on an adventure !

    3 months in central America and one of the best coffees we have had. Certainly the best flat white I have had. Spot on. Go here.

    Don't get the matcha latte it is very weak. Hot chocolate was good as was the classic fruit bowl.

    While the Espresso is top of the line, the cold-pressed juices are the finest I have found anywhere in Panama. Each day features a different blend of fruits and vegetables, NO added sugar, and the most delicious flavors you can imagine. Oh, they also serve classic fruit bowls, Avocado bread, sandwiches and other breakfast delights!

    Would give more than 5 stars if I could! They are just great at making coffee. The food was also wonderful, especially the pb and banana toast. Came back everyday during my visit in Bocas and I already miss Amaranto. Very friendly staff too.

    (Translated by Google) Very good breakfasts in the heart of Bocas. Toasts ($ 5) give two people for breakfast, and they are delicious. (Original) Muy buenos desayunos en pleno corazón de Bocas. Las tostadas (5$) dan para desayunar dos personas, y están deliciosas.

    Definitely the best coffee in the whole island. Food and service was also good.

  • 5/5 Haowei C. 2 years ago on Google
    The cold brew is one of the best I’ve had in a while! I rarely wanna have a second cup of coffee but this time I do! You can just tell the coffee beans are of excellent quality here. High recommend here

  • 5/5 Sandra N. 1 year ago on Google
    Had their macchiato with almond milk. It was really delicious and strong. I also tried their omelette for breakfast and would recommend them for breakfast

  • 5/5 Brian Bum H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice little coffee shop with great bowls and a huge breakfast sandwich. The juice was outstanding. Got the omelette sandwich and fruit bowl with yogurt. The first juice listed is amazing, can't remember the name. Definitely one of our favorite stops in Bocas. Say hi to Max!

  • 5/5 John S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love this place! Clean, friendly, and trendy. Great food and delicious drinks. Try the Nutella frappe and the HBC sandwiches 🤤 Also great service with a smile. The server not only helped us order, but helped us locate a center to take our COVID travel tests. Thanks again!

  • 5/5 AM 2 years ago on Google
    Cute coffee shop and cafe! Ordered the Nutella frappe and Tosty pita sandwich, which were both very tasty. Great midday snack. The lady we had ordered from was very lovely and sweet. Would definitely come back again!

  • 5/5 Marius H. 4 years ago on Google
    Small comfy cafe with really nice staff. The cappuccino was great and I love waffles ... so my bias might cloud my judgement 😅 (the waffles are amazing) As an additional note: The prices are really good for Bocas.

    (Translated by Google) The juices are 👌🏼 !! And very rich things! (Original) Los jugos son 👌🏼!! Y las cosas muy ricas!!!

  • 5/5 Lyndsey 1 year ago on Google
    I popped in here a couple of times for lunch, a chicken wrap and one of the Buddha salad bowls with feta. The food was fresh and tasty, portion size decent, service friendly, coffee good. Decaff coffee and non dairy milk are available: almond, soya, lactose free. On my first visit I let my coffee go cold as I was eating and without any prompting I was offered a fresh, hot coffee when I was ready for it. A nice touch. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Valerie S. 4 years ago on Google
    Seriously awesome coffee, good breakfast and lunch options. Vegetarian and vegan friendly. Just rather expensive.

  • 5/5 Dina A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee in Bocas, friendly staff, nice seating area, free wifi, and it comes with water and chocolate beans.

  • 5/5 Ryan B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee. The sandwiches and muffins were very good too. And I wish I knew the name of the young woman behind the counter so I could thank her specifically. She is so sweet and happy! Loved this place!

  • 4/5 Tanja S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super nice and cozy place. We had homebread with hummus (yum!!) and and a waffle. It was yumsie, though not a lot. It wasn’t enough for lunch, but that could also be just us :) The homemade drink was okay but a little overpriced. Would recommend the food here :) (and probably coffee, but we don’t drink that 👍🏻)

  • 5/5 Amras S. 1 year ago on Google
    Really good and strong coffee. Like the extra touch of getting water and chocolate coffee beans with your order

  • 4/5 Adi C. 7 months ago on Google
    Very nice and quiet place relaxing to start your morning. We ordered the fried eggs was very good. The place is quite small so if you want to catch a place to sit better get ther on the earlier side.

    Amaranto is a fantastic little coffee shop in Bocas town. Their coffee is always delicious and they have some amazing breakfast options as well!

  • 5/5 Montserrat R M. 6 months ago on Google
    delicious toasts and great roasted coffee. small place to enjoy breakfast.

  • 2/5 Justin C. 11 months ago on Google
    I am not sure why this place is so highly rated. I got the fried eggs on toast and it was not very good at all. My wife got the savory waffles and the bacon was some of the worst bacon that we've ever tried. I got a cold brew which was just okay and my wife got an iced coffee which tasted quite burnt. If you like that that's the place to go. I like more medium roast coffees and this coffee was not for me.

  • 5/5 Christa D. 7 months ago on Google
    Best waffles I’ve ever eaten and biggest breakfast sandwich I’ve ever seen!

    Great iced latte and HUGE caprese sandwich. WiFi is easy and good enough for surfing. Not cheap but I think good value ($10 total for both)

  • 5/5 Alyssa W. 4 years ago on Google
    Luciana and Martin ( sister and brother team) are so welcoming and will make you feel at ease in Bocas. Wonderful espresso drinks --the best coffee in Bocas hands down! You can tell they really treat it as a craft and you can taste the quality in the espresso. Thank you!

  • 4/5 Chris F. 4 years ago on Google
    Good coffee in a friendly little shop. It's tiny, with only a few tables inside and a few more out front, so it can get crowded during peak lunch hours. Wifi works well if you need to sit around and do laptop work, and there are outlets to plug in your devices. Sandwiches on their homemade bread are fantastic; the bagels not so much.

    Amaranto has the best coffee on Bocas. The food is fresh, healthy, and delicious (I recommend the omelette). Most importantly, the staff is really nice. Amaranto is my favorite place to eat on the island!

  • 5/5 Harriet M. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely staff, lots of food options, great coffee and strong aircon. Came here twice during our stay in Bocas town. Can highly recommend it for breakfast!

  • 5/5 Lauren J. 4 years ago on Google
    Best coffee and espresso drinks on bocas island! The food is great and the Nutella cookies are to die for!

  • 5/5 Dame C. 4 years ago on Google
    I really like this place. The owners are as nice as can be and enthusiastic about what they do. Aside from coffee, Amaranto makes healthful juices, fresh every day, that you can grab on the go, and they have a menu of light fare like omelets and sandwiches. Of course the shop also offers an array of sweet treats. It’s a very small place, but somehow, there’s always a place to sit, either inside or on the little patio.
