Caf\u00e9 Unido<\/i><\/a>. 2099 1st St., SW.<\/i><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Caf\u00e9 Unido is known for its Panamanian coffee, including its Geisha variety, among the most prized and expensive in the wold. At its newest location in Buzzard Point, you’ll be able to try a flight of Geisha coffees, known for their vibrant, floral flavors, for $40, and buy the beans to make it at home. You’ll also find more affordable drip coffees and a full menu of creative lattes. New at this location is a retail section, where you can purchase cheeses, charcuterie, specialty chocolates, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Unido started out as what CEO Alejandro Carvallo refers to as the \u201cStarbucks of Panama,\u201d a country that has always been known for its coffee, but for years lacked typical cafes where guests could sit to enjoy their drinks. The coffee house came to DC in 2019 with a stall at La Cosecha in Union Market\u2014it upgraded to a larger space last year\u2014and later <\/span>opened<\/span><\/a> a Shaw outpost in 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Unido\u2019s coffee comes exclusively from the volcanic soil of Panama, and the drink menu includes signatures like the Orange Raspadura Latte made with panela (cane sugar) and orange peel-infused syrup as well as a Coco Americano with organic coconut water espresso over ice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever they put on the menu, \u201csomeone took the time to analyze it, to curate it, to make sure that it\u2019s the best we can offer at that price point,\u201d Carvallo says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional Panamanian dishes include carima\u00f1olas (yucca fritters) and fried rice with pork belly, onion, and concol\u00f3n crispy rice. The menu also includes cheese-filled teque\u00f1os with mumbo sauce as well mumbo wings. Other American-style dishes range from a chicken caesar wrap to chicken tenders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new location does not currently offer a cocktail menu like Union Market and Shaw, but Carvallo said he hopes that will come by the end of the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 700 square-foot space at The Stacks, a residential and retail building just blocks away from Audi Field and Nationals Park, will offer indoor and outdoor seating and will look out at the building\u2019s retail promenade. Carvallo says the chain is also in the process of securing several more leases to expand their footprint in DC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a place where you can just go every day,\u201d Carvallo says. \u201cAnd we want to keep it that place that\u2019s unique to the neighborhood, and then you can go in the morning, in the afternoon, at night.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
