Cafe Unido

Cafe Unido began with a mission to share the unique flavors of Panama’s coffee with the world while ensuring direct, meaningful relationships with growers. Since its inception, Unido has grown from its Panama City roots to become a respected international brand that champions traceability and ethical sourcing. Their Washington DC location continues this vision, connecting DC’s coffee scene to exceptional quality and transparency. Unido’s broader impact is seen in their commitment to farmer empowerment and in raising awareness about the nuances of Panamanian coffee.

Cafe Unido’s baristas showcase true craft, dialing in single-origin Panamanian beans for nuanced espresso and filter offerings. Espresso drinks are prepared with precision, delivering clarity and balance in every cup, while pour-overs highlight the complexity of the beans. The menu features unique options like Geisha varietals and seasonal signature drinks, reflecting both tradition and innovation. Food offerings, from empanadas to avocado toast, complement the coffee and are served with attention to quality. Thoughtful seating—ranging from communal tables to cozy nooks—makes it equally suited for socializing or solo coffee appreciation.
