The Boy & The Bear - Gardena

12 Great Latinx-Owned Coffee Shops In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"The Boy & The Bear owner Andres Piñeros began working in coffee back in 2012 in his native Colombia, starting the business as a pop-up before opening a brick-and-mortar here in LA. The Boy & The Bear serves 100% Colombian coffees in three different locations that look like design stores. The shop's beans are directly sourced from the farmers and then roasted using two different techniques. The result tastes a little like berries. Drink it as a smooth Gibraltar, a.k.a. the perfect ratio of milk to espresso, or try the café con panna, a double shot with a dollop of whipped cream on top." - sylvio martins
