"Café Unido’s first D.C. outpost in Latin market La Cosecha, is the first U.S. location of a Panamanian coffee chain. Founders Benito Bermudez and Mario Castrellon — a chef with a place on San Pellegrino’s list of Latin America’s 50 Best Restaurants — source beans directly from growers in Panama and donate a percentage of their sales to social and environmental projects. The expanded cafe in Shaw includes a full breakfast and lunch menu by Panamanian chef Jovana Urriola, including a bacon, kidney beans, and crispy rice filled breakfast wrap and pork belly sandwich. Its beans can also be found at Nativo, the Square food hall’s new Latin-leaning coffee stall." - Tierney Plumb
