Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I would say coffee is great, but they have the best fresh pastries and cakes every day. Carrot cake is wonderful. I recommend it to anyone who visits Panama coffee. And the hospitality of the staff and owners there is wonderful. Stephen will always chat...with all customers and if you are a regular guest you'll often get a discount 😊More

Great coffee, friendly staff and the honeycomb cake was delicious. The once slice fed all three of us! Great views too and a great atmosphere. Perfect place to relax when at the St Bridget's festival in town

I've been here before coffee and pastry and it was great but my visit today was not so good. I asked what was in the Colorado Omelette and I was told cheese, onion and sausage. I asked if they could substitute the sausage with mushroom...as I don't eat meat. They agreed but when the omelette arrived, it had bacon. When I raised the issue, they told me I had only asked for no sausage! But bacon was not mentioned at all as one of the ingredients! I got my money back but I would only go there again for coffee/pastry. I wouldn't go for anything like breakfast or lunch.More

Visited today for first time and will definitely be back. Chilled atmosphere, friendly staff and superb food and coffee. interior may be 'grunge' to some but clean and comfortable. Well worth a visit.

Can I just say a huge huge thank you to the lovely staff in Panama they helped a very stressed mammy feel at ease while visiting today and even gave my wee girl a free cookie even though she nearly wrecked the place and I...had to rush out. Your kindness definetly didn't go un-noticed and I will speak highly of you all. Also the food was delicious. Thank you again.More

Have coffee here a few times a week, only slight fault I have is that the temperature of the coffees varies a bit from day to day. But it's always a nice coffee(In my limited knowledge of coffee opinion) The staff however are the best...thing about this place, so so friendly and always upbeat and good humoured.More

Great location. Used to come here a lot but felt the coffee, food and service is seriously lacking. Tables outside often have dishes yet to be cleared and full ashtrays. The management of the terrace is very poor. Food has never been great here to...be honest. Staff are hit and miss.More

Excellent coffee and food. Really enjoyed any time I am in there. But hard to get a seat inside but usually quick service and great coffee and lunchtime food. 5 stars if they were a bit bigger.

We are in Dundalk for business purposes about 6 times a year and only called at this coffee house on Wednesday for the first time. We struck gold! This is a wonderful experience, immediately you open the door the greetings by the staff make you...feel valued even before ordering. A superb menu and a great range of drinks.
