Sisu Coffee Studio [old town]

Very small portions and quite overpriced, though understandable as it’s in Old Town, a popular tourist area. We got the Nutella bread, coffee roll, and the cinnamon square toast. The toast was the best but so so small and was gone in a few bites. We also got their famous geisha coffee, which was 10 PAB, and a matcha latte for fun. The matcha was regular, not bitter at all though. Their coffee was also a small portion and tasted very light, almost tea like. I would not likely order it again because I don’t get the hype, but some may enjoy the light aroma. Another thing to note that was quite annoying was that they were out of ICE! As a coffee shop, this is unreasonable. Overall the food was pretty decent but everything was so expensive considering the portion sizes.

The place has that concrete minimalist style. Huge open space. Food looked good but we only had coffee. My coffee was pretty disappointing. May be that we travel a lot and just came from Vietnam and Cambodia. Used to quality strong coffee. This pour over was pretty weak and only warm. The aesthetics are all good but I’d question the coffee.

Aesthetically phenomenal spot. But $10 for a geisha pour-over, personally I just can't justify the value. It was good, don't get me wrong...just wasn't that good. There are other places you can get geisha pour-over for less. Note: they are a NO-Cash business.

Lovely coffee shop in old Panama City. A must try. They also have a small lunch menu. Only one gluten free dessert available

Nice minimalist coffee shop to try the Panamanian Geisha coffee. At Sisu, they have it here for $10 a cup. The coffee has a slightly bitter, sour favor profile. While originally from Ethiopia, Geisha coffee's fame is largely tied to its rediscovery and cultivation in Panama, particularly in the Boquete region. Geisha coffee plants are notoriously difficult to cultivate, with lower yields and a need for specific high-altitude growing conditions. This rarity, combined with its exceptional quality, leads to its high price. Uodate: after drinking this cup of coffee, it made me want to poop. So it's great for those who may be constipated

Siru strikes a distinct tone with its minimalist ambiance—clean, calming, and intentionally curated. That same ethos extends to their selective menu, which I appreciated. It reflects confidence in doing a few things well rather than overwhelming with choices. Taking the lead from others’ recommendations, I ordered the Geisha coffee and the cinnamon croissant. Both delivered. The Geisha, in particular, had a smoother finish than previous versions I’ve tried—delicate yet complex, with a subtle elegance that lingered. Their attention to presentation deserves a nod. From the way the coffee was served to the plating of the pastry, everything felt intentional and thoughtfully done. Overall, Siru is a place for those who appreciate quality over quantity, both in environment and offerings. A refined stop for a mindful coffee break in Casco.

Extremely good coffee. My cappuccino was full of flavour, They used the geisha bean and both the aroma and texture were exceptional. It’s very modern, trendy and comfortable inside. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended! 😊

Chic shop with excellent local coffee. Granola bowl and house-made sourdough are excellent as well.
