Roadsters

Diner, Restaurant, Contemporary, American

This 50s-style American diner is a staple in San Francisco with milkshakes as their bread and butter. However, come with an appetite and find breakfast, lunch, and dinner on the menu, too, similar to that of a traditional diner in America. Roadsters’ décor feels like something out of the film, Grease, with records and mementos reminiscent of the 1950s. Waitresses dress the part in poodle skirts, offering a unique, nostalgic dining experience, and a favorite for visitors and locals alike.

Boquete

Bakery, Contemporary

Located in the Clayton Plaza Shopping Center is the unique trifecta of offerings called Boquete Bakery & Café.

Featuring an eclectic, exquisite menu of desserts and coffee-based beverages, Boquete Bakery & Café is located in close proximity to the Panama Canal and City of Knowledge, offering visitors a chance to get a taste of Boquete without leaving Panama City. Dine in for breakfast, lunch, coffee, or dessert.
