Gamboa Baking Company

The food at Gamboa may be acceptable in terms of taste and price, but the customer service is an absolute disaster. They have a terrible inventory system and a complete inability to solve problems. Here’s what happened: on the first day, I was patient when they got my order wrong despite assuring me they had the item. But the next day, when they supposedly had plenty of stock, I still had to wait 20 minutes only for an employee to come out and tell me that, once again, they had sold my cinnamon roll to someone else by mistake. What’s worse, they forced me to accept a “solution” I neither requested nor agreed to, which violates Article 49 of Law 45 of 2007 on Consumer Protection in Panama. This law clearly states that “every consumer has the right to receive the product or service as offered, advertised, or agreed.” I will be filing a formal complaint because some things go beyond simply letting them slide—especially when a customer who ordered and paid after me, standing right behind me in line, still received the exact product I had ordered and paid for first. On top of that, orders always arrive late, and you have to constantly follow up with the staff to find out when your food will be ready—most of the time, they don’t even seem to know what’s going on. I understand the place can get busy, but that’s exactly why staff should be trained and operations should be organized. Overall, I won’t be coming back. It’s unacceptable for a customer to go through this two days in a row. The entire experience is ruined, and it’s clear they have no idea how to manage expectations or deliver basic service

The food is delicious! We got two different sandwiches and desserts and loved every bite! The place is pretty nice with multiple seating areas. They need to improve on the service as we had to wait a bit and remind them for our drinks which were delivered last, but definitely worth the trip for those flavors!

If you enjoy freshly baked sourdough bread, then this place is a must! Amazing sandwiches, great coffee, excellent pizza, delicious sweet pastries. This place should not be missed!

EXCELLENT bakery and coffee spot 15 minutes from center of Panama City, located in area formerly Fort Clayton. Owner/baker from USA makes authentic spicy cheese bread made famous by @stellasbakerymadison. Has indoor and outdoor seating plus parking. A can't miss spot for any visitor to city.

This is probably one of the best places I’ve ever visited. A little expensive definitely but food is great. Pizza is delicious, specially when you add it a little of that spicy honey syrup they’ve got! The cinnamon roll has been the best one I’ve had in my life and the aperol spritz is amazing. It gets a little (a lot) crowded on weekends during lunch time, so either go early or a little later after 3pm, it can be difficult to get a sit. It is worth it, I recommend it!

The place is beautiful, the service is excellent, and the food is always freshly prepared. Everything thing is new and healthy. I am always pleasantly surprised. Yesterday, our order was slightly delayed, and the team, being so kind, offered us a gift at the end. We were very grateful and we highly recommend this place. Everything g about it!

Gambia Baking Co just fits in Clayton perfectly. I may not live there but i go as often as I can. Their cheese bread is what got me to go and then I had some of their other baked goods. They are very good. The place is beautifully decorated with plants. The see through baking station is almost free entertainment. And they are gonna fire pizza soon?! Cant wait.

I tried the monkey bread, ham and chesse croissant, viennesse and pain au chocolate. All recomended, dough is crispy and not greasy. Coffe is good too.
