Another Pleasant Experience At Olga's Breakfast Place (Punto de Encuentro)

[Bud]

Olga Rios' breakfast place is a long time staple for good food, good service, and warm greeting hugs. We were surprised not to find anything posted on CL about Punto de Encuentro, and so decided to fill that gap this morning.

Marcelyn and I had breakfast at Olga's this morning. Everything went like clockwork. It all started with warm, genuine hugs upon our arrival. We ordered just one order of pancakes and a side order of bacon to be shared between the two of us. Marcelyn ordered her usual café negro, and I my hot chocolate. The service was prompt, accurate, and the serving was huge. Even though it was just one order to be shared between the two of us, it still was more than the two of us could eat.

For visitors in the Boquete area, I submit that you cannot legitimately say that you have been to Boquete unless and until you have experienced one of Olga's famous (and sincere) welcoming hugs. Breakfast almost becomes secondary.

Olga's is open only for breakfast, and this is done seven days a week. Not sure of the exact hours, but I believe breakfast starts at 7:00AM. I guess she closes when the last breakfast patron leaves.

Here are some pictures taken this morning. First, the famous welcoming hug (Olga and Marcelyn).

Followed by a couple of inside shots of the ambiance.

There are no printed menus. Look at the chalkboards just outside the entrance door. An extensive selection, to say the least.

The signpost that is street-side.

And a shot showing Olga and an employee checking the grounds, and the entrance walkway into the breakfast area.

We agree. A jem of a restaurant!
