Miranda Bakery & Cafe

Recently refurbished, this bakery offers casual yet creative and innovative cuisine in Panamá. Perfectly cooked hamburgers, Pastrami and Cuban sandwiches as well as Kale Caesar Salad. Specially for Thanksgiving they developed a Turkey with Cranberry sauce on Pumpkin bread. Outstanding desserts such as The Carrot Cake and coffees are always fresh. Service aims to please. Very recommended!

What a delightful little bakery and cafe! Beautiful sweet treats and incredible savory breakfast toasts. Star of our meal was the warm caramel monkey bread. So good!! Highly recommend Miranda!!

Delicious croissant and toasties! Unfortunate that there is limited seating space (especially for groups). Service was fine. Surely earlier opening hours would benefit guests and owners :)

I always look for a nice brunch cafe. And this place put on top of my lists now. I ordered four different cakes and all of them were fantastic with coffee. One thing I have to remind that they don’t open on Monday. I will visit again soon.

We had a couple of sandwiches, and they were pretty good, especially the jalapeño popper. Portions are big so we were quite full and didn't have the chance to have desserts, but they looked pretty good. Will come back to try them for sure.

Great food, great pastries and the place is nice. However, I have been here many times and will say, one of the ladies that works there is consistently in an indifferent, unwelcoming mood. Does not smile to the customers, does not say thank you/your welcome nor goodbye and is just a very BAD image for the business. Many people have told me this apart from my own experience. The manager should do something about this, since it directly affects their business, I dread when being attended by her. Sorry for the honesty, but this place is amazing, great for the city but this is serious issue.

Unique cafe with fun drinks Limited menu but most things looked good.

This bakery and cafe is a true gem in Panama City. The husband and wife team are graduates of the Culinary Institute of America, and they apply the techniques and experiences they learned there to create the most marvelous versions of local specialties like mamallena bread pudding and tres leches cake. When I've taken friends there, they've actually said, "this is nothing like the bread pudding I grew up eating." At Miranda, they bake and toast their own croutons to be cooked in the yummy custard and then topped with their homemade praline sauce. But it doesn't stop there. They also make the most wonderful kouign amanns, sourdough breads and croissants -- you'll think you waited in a long line in the Mission in San Francisco to have them. The dark horse of this place is actually not sweets, nor breads, but their burgers. They are the juiciest, freshest beef patties and topped with high-quality cheese, bacon, eggs, veggies on a seeded Parker House roll made in house. The grilled cheese on sourdough bread with tomato sauce is a terrific alternative as well. Yes, these are all cheat day items, but if you have fall off the wagon, you might as well do so with the highest quality ingredients in a charming setting. *I’ve revised this to 5 stars because I realize that as far as bakeries are concerned, there are few that stand up to Miranda’s quality in Panama and beyond.
