Boquete Flower & Coffee Fair

(4987)
Fairground
The Boquete Flower & Coffee Fair is an annual event held in January, featuring a wide array of stalls offering coffee, flowers, and food. Visitors can explore indoor vendors and crowded gardens displaying various flowers. Additionally, the fair includes outdoor vendors from multiple countries, food establishments, zip lines, and music halls. Despite the rain, the event draws large crowds and offers a simple yet enjoyable grassroots experience with opportunities for shopping and bargaining. It's recommended to visit early on weekends due to the high attendance.
Simply amazing. Didn't quite make it for the fair (it ended the week before) but it was so worth the $1.50 entrance fee. There are SO MANY beautiful flower arrangements and endless pics to take. Highly recommended to visit if you want to treat your eyes to something special!
Curtis D — Google review
Quite impressive selection of flowers! We went during off hours when there were no active vendors at the fair but the grounds were very pleasant to stroll around. Worth the proce of admission which was a couple dollars.
Trevor J — Google review
Very beautiful. Many food vendors. I was surprised the prices seemed similar to Boquete prices outside the fair. Great place to sample, not at all what I expected at a 'fair' based on my experiences in Canada and USA and several other countries. Other things like pony $4.50 and small horse $5 (2025) rides, holding a snake more in line quth with what i expected for fair prices.

Absolutely blown away by Gluten Free Gold! I recently had the pleasure of trying their food, and honestly, I'm still marveling at how delicious everything was. As someone who doesn't typically follow a gluten-free diet, I was completely unable to tell the difference. This wasn't just "good for gluten-free" food; it was simply phenomenal food, period. The menu is extensive and beautiful, offering something for everyone. From savory gourmet dinners to freshly baked goods, it's clear that Colleen Hunt, the "Food Queen," pours her heart and soul into her creations. The quality and freshness were undeniable, and knowing that much of it is cooked and baked the very same day makes it even more impressive. If you're anywhere near the border, or even if you're a bit further away, it's absolutely worth the trip to the Boquete Market on a Tuesday to experience Gluten Free Gold. Whether you're gluten-free or not, you'll be treated to a culinary delight. I can't recommend it highly enough! Colleen Hunt has truly mastered the art of gluten-free cuisine, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit...ps the brownies are to die for!!

It was a nice experience, weather was nice, Lots of flowers, handicrafts, & places to eat.. Some were local handicrafts which were very nice, others were foreign (Colombian, peruvian, etc..) Nice to go during the day, during night, main attraction are x-zone & stuff. During day you may spend time taking photos, walking around, etc which was much better..

Cafe
The Perfect Pair Coffee & Chocolate in Boquete is a must-visit destination for coffee and chocolate enthusiasts. The establishment offers an engaging chocolate-making class where participants can create their own full-size chocolate bars to take home, accompanied by complimentary high-quality hot chocolate or coffee. The cafe, located on the second floor, provides a relaxing retreat from the sun and serves specialty coffees grown in Boquete paired with artisanal chocolates sourced from nearby Belize.
Best hot chocolate of my life (and I am from a foodie city in the West Coast of the US). People were great; I asked for a less sweet hot chocolate, and they made me a custom one using their vegan mix with regular milk, so that they could reduce the sweetness per my request. I went there every day during my stay in Boquete! Highly recommended!
Larissa W — Google review
Delicious! The hot chocolate was really good (beware tho, it does have a lot of cinnamon in it so if you don’t like cinnamon, ask without or don’t have it). The banana bread was good too, it came warmed up. I came back again and tried the carrot cake and it was really good, thoroughly enjoyed !

Had a great latte with soy milk here, and a couple of dark pralines. The coconut one was great, the passion fruit OK. Have a large indoor seating, as well as an upstairs couches indoor and some tables outdoors (under roof). If you are unable to connect to the wifi, use a static IP address instead of DHCP.

Wow! The flavors are huge! Got the sea salt Carmel dark chocolate and passionfruit dark Chocolate and they were amazing! The passion fruit explodes with flavor in your mouth! I love that they are strong and not faint. The chocolate itself was very smooth and excellent! You can sit downstairs or they have a very comfortable upstairs area that even overlooks the city with an outdoor space! Coffee went very well with the chocolate!

Lovely little shop with the best hot cocoa I've ever had. I drank an iced mocha drink that was more exotic, rich and creamy than any I've ever had. That prompted me to buy a bag of Cho Col'Ha mix to add to my coffee every morning at home.
Sylvia Y — Google review
They are in a perfect location, right in the heart of boquete. Their hot chocolate is one of the best ever. The thing that they should work on its in the layout of the store. Their have all the products facing back to you when you enter. The store looks old, dark and outdated.

This is likely the best place in town for both coffee and chocolate. I thought the cappuccino was very good. It was even brought up to us on the second floor. I have to mention that the nanaimo bar was delicious. It is a chocolate pie with what seems like cream cheese inside. Very sweet but the quality of the ingredients is impressive. The second floor has couches, chairs and tables like that of a real cafe. It is cozy and relaxed. If you want the full visual experience, then sit on the outside balcony where you can watch the movement of people on the streets. The prices are high but that should not surprise you in this touristy spot in the middle of main street. The place also offers two paid activities - an on-site tour where you can taste the cacao and a class where you can create your own chocolate. According to their website, they practice social responsibility by helping local families in need. Very nice.

Coffee has a good taste with some cacao flavor. Actually they have a free cup of their own made cacao for testing. A lot of different sweets are a available, hadn’t try them, but they do looks delicious. You can also do a cacao crafting experience inside the shop.

One of the only places we could find in Boquete where they serve traditional Panamanian food. You can pick any dishes you want and you will pay around PAB 5 - 10. The food was really tasty. The atmosphere is a bit like in a canteen but somehow it feels cozy.

A really good local spot with loads of different options. You can select from the pre-made food or order something from the menu, both of which were great. Super quick service and the staff went out of their way to make sure we got what we wanted, they quickly remade a plate for me after forgetting I ordered vegetarian and were generally really friendly. We ate here several times and paid around $10 for 2 people’s plates so the value for money can’t be beat!

Good, honest, local Panamanian food served in a cafeteria style setting. A full plate of food costs anywhere from $4-$8 depending on what you get. I ate there every night for a week and tried a different dish each night. My favourite was the hojaldres (fried bread)! So good!

Pleasantly surprised. Recommended by a friend, the menu is fantastic something for everyone. We started with pizza for appetizer, we had some salad and wine, then ordered main courses. Everyone share if you bites just to check it out. The pork chop, beef, fish and truffle dish worth it. We two bottles of the Chilean Cabernet. The price super reasonable.

We came for lunch and it took much longer than expected. When asked about how they were “farm to table” the waiter said he didn’t know because he was new. We tried a few items including the chuleton, gnocchi, pasta and pizza and none wowed me. I specifically requested the seafood pasta for the kids not to have any greens/herbs on it and it came with it. Not what I expected.

We had a delicious and relaxing meal here on a rainy night. We tried the passion fruit sour cocktail of the day (you won me over at sour and passion fruit) and it was fantastic. We split the foccaccia with rosemary and salt that came straight out of the wood fired oven. My partner loved his seafood spaghettoni and I cannot recommend the tagliatelle with homemade sausage enough. They did not skimp on the sausage and I had tons with every bite and it may have been the best sausage I've had in years. So good!

The food at this restaurant is amazing!! The beef carpaccio for starters was so good that we ordered a 2nd. For main we had the chicken dish and the truffle pasta and they were both also great, reasonable prices and good sized dishes. Only downside was disorganised service…. the restaurant wasn’t busy but had to ask multiple times for a bottled drink which ended up taking 20 mins to come out.

We were a walk-in party of 10 and had the pleasure of sitting at a table overlooking the kitchen. Our experience was top-notch, with Armando as our server. He was attentive and knowledgeable. If he was uncertain of a question one of us had he didn't hesitate to confirm it with the chef. Our food was unbelievable, the mushroom bisque on special was literally to die for, seriously, I will never stop thinking about that soup. Everything from the beef carpaccio to the homemade pastas were flawlessly executed and the courses were delivered within reasonable times between each other, no feeling of being rushed or waiting around for food. It was an excellent experience — we can't wait to return to Boquete to visit this restaurant again. Thank you to Armando, the chef, and the entire RetroGusto team!

Restaurant recommended by an Italian friend definitely did not disappoint. It was absolutely packed on Sunday afternoon, so we had to wait but it was worth. We really enjoyed all different types of pasta and pizza. The kitchen is open so you can see the whole cooking process. I would advise to look around or ask the waiting person for daily specials, because we actually ordered outside of the regular menu, out of the blackboard and it was a great choice. Drinks were good as well. If I'll be around I'd happily pass by again.

Clean with attentive and pleasant servers. We shared mozzarella and tomato bread which was hot and pretty--all the dishes were the works of a proud chef. I had shrimp spaghetti which was hot and nicely al dente and not over--sauced. And I didn't have to ask for a pasta spoon. Lynette had the vegetarian pasta with a tomato gravy. Too bad they used ground instead of fresh parmesan cheese. We will go back even though at $15 for a plate of spaghetti is overpriced. It just won't be very often.

The gluten free spaghetti was amazing and the pepperoncini was one of the best dishes we've ever had. Be sure to finish your meal with tres leches.

Nestled in the picturesque highlands of Chiriqui, Boquete is a charming mountain town that has become a sought-after destination for those seeking cooler climates. The town offers an array of outdoor activities, including exploring a volcano, river adventures, and mountain forest hikes. Boquete Brewing Company is a popular spot among both locals and expats, offering cold beer and live music for an enjoyable nightlife experience.
This place really hit the spot on a chilly night. I tried a burger from the food truck menu, which I think was called "La Minion" in Spanish (I don’t speak Spanish, so I could be mistaken!). The burger was juicy, flavorful, and absolutely a 10/10, though the fries were just mediocre. As a tourist in Panama this week, I found the prices to be great compared to what I'd expect in the USA. Thank you, Boquete Brewing Co, for offering a quick, delicious, and affordable burger experience!

Great place for a craft beer in Boquete. We enjoyed our IPA and sour and had the weather been nicer, we would have come back to try the stout. It has a good indoor area if the weather isn't great.

Boquete Brewing Company has a cool setup and often features great live music — it's got the kind of laid-back vibe that draws you in. The beer list is varied, and while a few options show promise, most taste like the brewer got distracted halfway through the recipe. Bonus points for serving it all in plastic cups, which really elevate the craft beer experience to “backyard barbecue meets college kegger.” Then there's the bathroom. Wow. If you're nostalgic for that one gas station off a deserted highway, you're in for a treat. Honestly, it feels like no one’s checked on it since the place opened. It’s a shame, because with just a bit more effort — like caring — this could be a fantastic spot. Here’s hoping someone eventually notices.

I dropped into Boquete Brewing on a Monday, and was informed they are closed on Mondays. However, while talking to one of the brew master's, he offered me to tour their brewing facility. I asked him several questions, and he was very knowledgeable in their process. He explained how they brew three times weekly and keep up with their demand. I returned the next day to taste and sample the variety of beers. All the beers I tasted were fantastic. I wish they had flights of beer, however, I was there during happy hour, and the beers were all served in pint glasses, and were $3.20 no matter the ABV content.

Restaurante de mariscos La Cueva del Pitufo in Boquete, Panama offers exceptional Peruvian and Panamanian style cuisine. The seafood dishes are delicious, with options like shrimp and octopus carpaccio in olive sauce. The small and cozy restaurant provides a friendly atmosphere, where the chef personally checks on guests, creating a home-like feel. The service is accommodating to both English and rudimentary Spanish speakers.
For less than $30, my husband and I shared a delectable ceviche platter and two lemonades on a sunny afternoon. Every dish was delicious, light, and flavorful, and presented in a fun, pretty way. The staff were friendly and accommodated my intermediate Spanish and plethora of questions. If we lived here we’d come every day. We were told that in a few days (Jan 2025), the restaurant is moving up the road to a larger location. Good for them!

I was so delighted with my meal I went back the next day! The shrimp with pasta was rich, creamy and buttery. The chicha morada was sweet, tart and refreshing. Such a treat.

We love Peruvian food and will try it wherever we can find it. BUT, in all our tastings, nowhere compares to “Restaurante La Cueva Del Pitufo Boquete”. Rodolfo, the chef owner is a wizard in the kitchen! His flavors, textures and presentation are just — magic! We told him we could taste the love of his craft in his creations, he totally agreed, that each dish he presents, comes from the heart. So hard to make choices when you know that everything will be delicious - but there are a couple of dishes that tell you just how good a Peruvian restaurant is. 1. Causa! 2. anticuchos de corazon. 3. Suspiro Limeño (sadly, for this visit, we had eaten far too much to consider eating this feather light delicacy during this visit - BUT let us tell you that this is the BEST Suspiro we’ve ever had). We had the Causa Limeña de Camarón (of course!) - with shrimp - it was a feast for both the eyes and the palate - the potato was so fine - so lemony - silky smooth and the shrimp were beautifully presented, as juicy as they could be, as only perfectly cooked shrimp can be. Delicious, rich perfection. Anticucho Típico Peruano - sizzling on a platter, two skewers of flavor bomb! Cooked as we ordered (medium rare), slight chew, slight char … mmmmm!!! Pulpo al Olivo - we thought we ordered the GRILLED octopus and were very sad when his octopus in PINK sauce arrived at our table… BUT BUT BUT …. first bite and heaven! This is cold marinated octopus in a black olive sauce, we’d never had it before - we will be having it again. The acidity of the olives in this creamy sauce with the chew of the octopus .. this was an experience in flavor and texture… Steak - normally we would not order steak - but it sounded so delicious and sadly I cannot find the name of the steak we had!!! But it was large, tender and bursting with flavor and prawns - I cannot think about it without my mouth watering - just describe it to the waitress, she’ll ask Rodolfo!!! If you like steak, try this stuffed with prawns - your mouth will thank you. Corvina Bajareque - Grilled Corvina fillet with prawns and clams in yellow chili sauce, mushrooms. There are no words to describe the flavors - the textures - the sauce was beautiful and silky, with a mild warmth - I would not call it a chili sauce - I would just say delicious!!! One additional thing to consider - Patacones!!!!!!! This Peruvian chef, Rodolfo, makes the very best Patacones ever - they are soft and tender on the inside and have a crisp, bite worthy exterior that crunches .. mmmm...... So - sadly, we were too enthused and ate too much to get the Suspiro Limeño - but we will be back!!! Many, many thanks Rodolfo!!!!

Tucked away on a quaint side street in Boquete, you'll find a true culinary treasure: a charming little Peruvian restaurant that's as delightful as it is unassuming. This hidden gem may not boast grand décor or flashy signs, but what it lacks in visibility, it more than makes up for with incredible flavors and an authentic dining experience. The menu is a wonderful showcase of Peruvian cuisine, featuring an array of dishes that highlight the vibrant and diverse flavors of this South American culinary tradition. Whether you’re a fan of ceviche, with its perfectly marinated fish and zesty citrus kick, or a hearty fan of traditional lomo saltado, this restaurant serves up each dish with a level of care and authenticity that’s truly impressive. The standout here is undoubtedly the freshness of the ingredients and the skillful preparation. Each dish is a celebration of bold flavors, expertly balanced spices, and impeccable presentation. The service is warm and friendly, adding a personal touch that makes you feel like part of the family rather than just another customer. This little Peruvian restaurant is a testament to the fact that sometimes the best dining experiences come from the least expected places. If you’re in Boquete and craving a taste of Peru, this unassuming spot offers an unforgettable meal that will leave you eagerly planning your next visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking to discover a hidden gem in the heart of Boquete!

Breakfast restaurant
Sugar and Spice Boquete is a popular bakery and café known for its reasonably priced sandwiches, freshly baked pastries, and delicious pies. They offer a variety of European-inspired menu items such as artisan breads, muffins, soups, cookies, quiches, and Mexican dishes. The bakery provides fresh bread to many restaurants in the area and is a favorite spot for breakfast and lunch. Customers can enjoy the aroma of freshly baked goods while dining in or opt to take some treats to go.
This place shook me as I was not expecting... The place is so welcoming and cozy, quiet and cute, delicious and varied in menu. I definitely need to come back to try other things from the menu, bit for now, I can highly recommend their empanadas and the ultimate breakfast burrito. These really blew my mind! On this first visit my intention was to have brunch, so I went with these options. However, they have burgers, salads, and soups! I'm 100% certain that their sandwiches and burgers must be high level as well. This place is great to visit with your family, friends, or your significant other. The ambience is so comfortable and the staff so kind that you feel like at home.

I really wanted to like this place and I was very happy that they had a vegetarian menu. I ordered the mushroom onion spinach enchiladas however, and I got three tortillas full of fried onions with almost no mushroom slivers or spinach at all. I was quite disappointed so my advice to anyone who is thinking of ordering that dish is to ask for it without onions so that you actually do get some mushrooms and spinach!

Cute place centrally located, really reasonably priced for the portion size. Very kindly I was offered to change the fries for a pasta salad instead which was a huge portion for a side option. The food was good, nothing exceptional but it was tasty enough and certainly filled my belly.

I have been in the modern cafe on the back. It belongs to Sugar and Spice Boquete, too. First visit. The lemon cake was very very sweet. Too much for me. The cappuccino was okay. Second visit. I had an apple cake which was very good. Only the price was too high for this small piece of cake. Than I tried the chocolate cake. It was not so sweet as the lemon cake, much more better. And the cappuccino was much more better. Strong and tasty.

Where are the sidewalks for pedestrians to walk on? I understand your best intentions to accommodate customers by providing as much parking space as possible, but by doing so, this is an accident waiting to happen. Somebody can get killed outside of your establishment. I like your place, don't get me wrong, I think the food and bread is 5 stars, therefore the bad score is due to the lack of sidewalks exclusively. On occasions, I’ve seen bigger cars that even take a bit of the road forcing pedestrians to walk on the road, and as you know, it's a busy road. This is really bad. I know this is not the only place where this happens, in fact, walking in Boquete sometimes feels like an adventure video game with all the obstacles. However, responsible businesses with similar parking arrangements have put the sidewalk in front of the cars, like the dollar store nearby. Your place have pots with plants, which looks nice, but it makes even your customers risk their lives having to go behind the parked cars because there is no room to walk elsewhere. You have a successful business which a lot of people like, please do something about this before something bad happens.

This place is awesome. The hot chocolate is a sensual experience you won’t soon forget. The best I’ve tasted anywhere - by far. There is indoor seating, or sitting on the balcony taking in the vibe off the streets below - which we like. The coffee is also excellent. The staff are super friendly and speak English well. This is a daily coffee haunt for sure.

First of all, the atmosphere was amazing, that's for sure. There was great live music and a good vibe But now to the food. We waited more than an hour for our food. I ordered a vegetarian salad for 12.49$ (!!!!) What I got is just a few green leaves with little break crumbs and a SMALL amount of cheese I felt like I was hungrier after the salad then before. Way too EXPENSIVE for what you get. This was literally scam.... Never again...

Food is pretty good, although pretty sure the fries were frozen and very small portion with a burger. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. The party deck in back is very comfortable and beautiful with plenty of greenery and different choices for seating. Also pet friendly! Service was pleasant but not particularly upbeat, although a Wednesday evening visit may not be their ideal service time, as it wasn't particularly busy. Lots of expats as well as locals in the mix. Recommend for a quick bite, and more so for a couple of margaritas . (They were out of mint for mojitos 😉)

They had many option to chose from in the menu, in the end I chosen Ensalada Cobb 🥗 y and cold tea☕️ but the tea was pretty sweet and the salad was very good 👍🏻. The restaurant was surrounded my natured 🌲 which allowed you to take your dog 🐶 for a walk if your dog 🐶 doesn’t wanna stay still or it feels like it wanna take a bathroom. Overall, a great place to eat at if your on a budget and this restaurant provided large portion size for a reasonable price. (With just the salad 🥗, I was pretty full from it)

We have dined here twice since we arrived. The selection of menu items is fantastic! Their alcoholic drinks are strong! The first one I had - a blue lagoon was tasty, my husbands margarita was super strong. I then tried a Long Island and I could not stomach more than a few sips. They were even kind to water it down and it was still extremely strong! They take care of a feral felons colony which I think it amazing. They do not risk you, the views are lovely & they allowed us to practise our Spanish with such patience!

This park is the central square in Boquete. And a hub of activity. During the day it is a meeting place and a place to sit and enjoy the day. Lately, it has become a place to get milk. Due to the protests, milk is unavailable in the stores. But from what I hear, a local dairy farmer is bring in milk. While more expensive than in the store, it is appreciated by the people. At night, it becomes a place to have group meetings. They bring speakers and music. Then someone speaks and they leave. My Spanish is not good enough to know what it is about but it is always entertaining. It is also a place to take pictures as it is beautiful. In the day, the pictures tend to be selfies and ones of children. But at night, it is very romantic with the lights and flowers. Buckle Tip Coffee is right there. So grab a coffee and enjoy the park. You'll definitely enjoy both.

Peaceful and beautiful spot in Boquete! Parque Biblioteca is a lovely place to walk, relax, and enjoy nature. The grounds are well-maintained, with beautiful plants and shaded paths that make for a pleasant stroll. Along one walking path, there’s a unique display of book titles made of cement and embedded in the ground — a creative touch that adds to the park’s charm. It’s a favorite for locals — some jog, many walk their dogs, and everyone appreciates the calm, welcoming atmosphere. A perfect place to unwind and soak in Boquete’s natural beauty.

We decided to go coffee shop hopping one day in coffee capital of Panamá in a village called Bajo Boquete. We picked out two coffee shops and Kotowa was one. They are in a small plaza and the store is cozy. Seating was available and guests friendly. Service was excellent as was the coffee. Look, this in the best coffee in the world. We never had a bad cup or tumbler 😉. They have pastries and chocolates to pair with your brew. Highly recommended, so it's worth making the trip from wherever you are to experience a better cup than you can imagine. My beautiful wife said, "we've been drinking trash" in the USA and paying 3 to 4 times the real price. From now on, we're ordering Panamanian coffee from that company with the name of a Brazilian river...🤷‍♂️😂👍💯

The service was excellent but the food was only average. I had the fish and chips and my wife had a hot dog with fries. Although the fish itself was tasty, it was not fried long enough leaving both the batter and parts of the fish too greasy and soggy to eat. The fries on both of our plates were also under fried and lacked seasoning. The place was full of locals really enjoying the live music and with $2 local beer, you can have a good time sitting on the outside patio by the stream. I was impressed that the owner/chef came out and touched tables and there was a lot of cool stuff from around the world on the walls.

Bamboo Restaurant & Bar offers a combination of open outdoor seating and indoor dining options. The cleanliness of the establishment was noticeable, even though I did not use the restroom. The French fries were served fresh and piping hot, while the servers were attentive and ensured prompt service despite our order of pizza. I opted for the Bamboo Burger, a double cheeseburger with ample fries priced at $12, while my companion chose the vegetarian pizza at around $14.
I'll update this. Great burger with hot fries! Open outdoor seating with some inside. I didn't use the bathroom, but everything seemed clean. The fries were fresh and hot! Servers were very attentive and service was quick despite ordering pizza. I got the Bamboo Burger which was a double patty cheese burger and a generous serving of fries ($12) and Lynette got the vegetarian pizza (about $14 I think). Both were very fresh and hot and exactly what we envisioned. The pizza was wonderful from toppings to crust and my burger was tasty and dripping with juicy flavor. We definitely will return despite the USA pricing scheme.

We went here for lunch. The food was pretty good, the service was slow and the prices high. We shared chicken fingers with potato wedges which had 6 very small pieces of chicken and quite a bit of so-so potato wedges at a cost of $9.90 which I considered high even by US standards. We also shared a personal 8" combo pizza which was $6.95 which was an OK price. Panama beers were $1.75 and Ice Tea was $2.25. Not a bad place, but not exciting and for the price you can do much better most anywhere here. We tried this place again as we were in the area and it was nice to sit out on the patio. This time I have a ham and caramelized onion sandwich and my wife had a chicken salad. Both were pretty good and I would have no problem eating here, but find some other local places more exciting.

My husband order fish and it was RAW in the middle, look like it was frozen in the middle and that is why didn't cook correctly. Be careful with that, he starts with the salad and then the shrimp, and when he had the fish he found it was RAW. He didn't eat it and told them. They came with the check and they charge it! so we had to complain to take it out of the check because we just eat the salad and 4 shrimps. I think this place is good just for drinking.

Pizza there was pretty good. You have to wait for about 20mins though. But that's actually very good for me to believe that they were really making one.

Visited this place expecting more of what I received. The service was very slow... the food was great. Small menu, not too many things to choose, expensive for the quality of the food.

Orgánica Store Boquete Chiriqui

Supermarket
Health food store
Orgánica Store Boquete Chiriqui is a well-stocked health food store offering a wide range of organic products including spices, oils, grains, and even Beyond Meat items. They also have essential oils, body creams, and other niche products that are hard to find in Southern Panama. The store is known for its fresh ground peanut butter which is ground on-site. While the prices may be higher than non-organic stores, the variety and quality of products make it worth the visit.
This well stocked, cute health food store, has hard to find items and is the only one of its kind in Southern Panama. They have many products that you can only find in the United States or Canada including a tremendous stock of organic products. The residents of Boquete and the surrounding areas are very fortunate to have a store like this at their disposal.

As a health conscious flexatarian from Colorado with a wife who has gluten and dairy sensitivities, this store has basically everything we need. We were blown away by the selection and would honestly come here weekly if we lived in Boquete. I highly recommend checking this place out for supplements, gluten free and vegan items, plant-based products, and a wide array of healthy food. The prices were generally quite reasonable and they also have smoothies and baked goods!

This store was such a great find when my husband and I were in Boquete for the week. Besides having an incredibly extensive selection of wonderful foods that were safe for me to eat (I can't have gluten, dairy, or highly processed oils), they also have a counter in the back where they make amazing smoothies. Their Forever Young açai smoothie is sooooo good!

Most items are way overpriced so I started buying my products from Amazon and shipping them into Panama. For example Garden of Life plant based protein 19 servings is $41 and $2.50 shipping USD on Amazon. and Organic sells it for $57 USD. That's a 30% mark up. Many of the expats have been really upset and feel ripped off by Organica cleaning our clocks. What Organica does not know is that we all talk to each other.

This is a great store with tons of products. They even have Beyond Meat products. They are great. You can find spices, oils and grains that are all organic. They also have some essential oils, creams, and other body products. Yes, the products do cost more than non-organic but that is to be expected. But the absolute best product in this store is the fresh ground peanut butter. They grind it while you are there; you can't get any fresher than that. It is not creamy; it is a bit chunky but not like the brands. I am addicted to this. I bought one the first week and now I make sure I get two because I don't want to be without it. The customer service has been exceptional. I have enjoyed all the people who have helped me. I found them to be conscientious and considerate. Everyone has been very welcoming. I enjoy going to this store. I totally recommend this store.
