As El Valle Panama real estate agents, we’re always looking for a great spot to “charge up” before showing a property so today you are in luck! We’ll be sharing our top spots to grab a coffee in El Valle—from the laid-back vibes at Pausa Café and the artsy feel of Kare Café to my personal favorite Carlitos. Each spot has something special, so make sure you stay caffeinated while exploring El Valle’s Best Coffee Hangouts !

Front entrance to Pausa Cafe in El Valle de Anton Panama

Pausa Cafe

Pausa Cafe may be small, but it’s a great spot for coffee and food. The cozy atmosphere is perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. The eggplant sandwich is a standout—so good that people say they’d come back to El Valle just for it. The mango smoothie is also a hit, fresh and tasty. With its friendly service, Pausa Cafe is a go-to place for both locals and visitors.

Kare Coffee

Kare Coffee is a great spot for coffee lovers, offering expertly brewed coffee, tasty snacks, and light meals. The outdoor seating is perfect for enjoying the fresh air, and the relaxed atmosphere is complemented by reliable Wi-Fi and pleasant music. It’s a favorite for both locals and visitors. Don’t miss the cappuccino, mochaccino, and lemon pie—they’re all delicious! In comparison, While both Kare Coffee and Pausa cafe focus on quality coffee and snacks, Kare Coffee stands out with its outdoor-oriented, laid-back vibe.

Front entrance to the Carlitos coffee shop in el Valle

Carlitos

Carlitos is a fantastic spot for a relaxed meal and a great cup of coffee. Known for its friendly atmosphere and tasty food, it offers a mix of local favorites and comfort dishes. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, enjoying a quick bite, or hanging out with friends, the cozy setting and welcoming staff make it a top choice. Unlike Pausa Cafe and Kare Coffee, which focus mainly on coffee and light snacks, Carlitos provides a full dining experience with hearty meals as well. So, if you’re in El Valle and want both a good coffee and a satisfying meal, Carlitos is definitely worth checking out. We recommend the pizzas!

Entrance to the Cafe Unido cafe in el Valle Panama

Cafe Unido

Cafe Unido is a stylish spot known for its high-quality coffee and modern vibe. Unlike Pausa Cafe and Kare Coffee, which focus on cozy atmospheres and light meals, Cafe Unido emphasizes a more contemporary, café culture experience. The space is sleek and chic, with a focus on specialty coffee blends and a variety of brewing methods. It’s a great place for coffee aficionados looking to explore different flavors and enjoy a more refined coffee experience. Compared to Carlitos, which offers a broader menu including hearty meals, Cafe Unido is more focused on delivering an exceptional coffee experience in a stylish setting.

El Valle has some great spots for coffee and food, each with its own vibe. Pausa Cafe and Kare Coffee are perfect for a relaxed coffee break with tasty snacks. Carlitos offers a mix of hearty meals and good coffee, making it a solid choice for a full meal. Cafe Unido stands out with its modern style and focus on specialty coffee, great for those who love exploring different flavors. Whatever you’re in the mood for, El Valle has something for everyone!
