Mendó Coffee Co

single-origin filter coffee is the move at mendó coffee co, and if you're in panama city with a free morning, galera 215 gives you a reason to actually use it. panama sits at a crossroads for coffee, both a producer and a growing consumer market, so a roaster operating here has access to fresh local lots that most cafes in other countries only see months later. mendó has built a real reputation in the city, not a loud one, but consistent. you don't need to know much about specialty coffee to feel the difference between something dialed in and something just serviceable. start with the filter, then circle back for a cortado before the midday heat sets in.
