Sunrise Cafe and Bakery (Panama City)

Sunrise Cafe and Bakery opened its Panama City location at 319 Magnolia Avenue in the spring of 2026, joining an existing location the same family has operated on Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach. The business describes itself as family owned and operated, and it brings a specialty menu built around European dishes that is unusual among Panama City’s breakfast spots, including items like Manty, Samsa, and Borscht alongside a more familiar American breakfast and bakery lineup.

Fresh doughnuts are made daily at both locations, along with pastries, croissants, and custom cakes available by request through a dedicated baker contact. The Panama City location runs Monday through Saturday from 7:30 in the morning to 3 in the afternoon, and Sunday from 8 to 3, hours that put it squarely in the breakfast and lunch window rather than staying open into the evening. A dog friendly patio rounds out the setup, giving the Magnolia Avenue location a casual, sit outside feel that matches its residential stretch of downtown Panama City.

Because Sunrise Cafe and Bakery operates two locations under one family, split between Panama City and Panama City Beach, it sits closer to the edge of what a directory like this otherwise tries to avoid, which is multi location regional operations rather than single site independent businesses. In this case the two locations are run by the same family as a small, closely held operation rather than a franchised or corporately managed chain, and the Panama City address is included here specifically because it is a genuinely new, independently run addition to the city’s own food scene rather than an outpost of a brand headquartered elsewhere.

The Panama City location can be reached at a phone number separate from the Panama City Beach store, and questions about custom cakes go through a dedicated baker email address. Because this location only opened in March of 2026, it has a shorter operating history in Panama City proper than most of the businesses in this directory, so details like hours and menu should be treated as current as of a recent opening rather than settled over years of operation the way a longer standing downtown restaurant would be.
