“Unido, Washington, D.C.’s premier destination for 100% Panamanian-grown coffee, is expanding its footprint inside La Cosecha at Union Market District, taking over the elevated and largest anchor space, and will reopen as an all-day food and beverage destination next week. To celebrate the new location, Unido is hosting a Grand Opening Celebration on Friday, April 17th at 6 pm.
The expanded café and bar space will not only continue to serve its signature coffee drinks, but the team is rolling out a new all-day breakfast menu, plus an enhanced lunch and dinner menu featuring fresh takes on Central, South, and North American flavors. Just in time for spring, Unido will also be serving wine, cocktails, and tapas at night, making it the perfect spot to grab a light bite with friends or coworkers at the bar, a table inside the bustling market, or on the outdoor patio.

“Discover, as we discover.
Dayglow was born out of our love and curiosity of interesting coffee roasters, both internationally and domestically. As we discovered roasters we made their coffees available to our customers—first at our locations and then online.
As we made our coffees available online—both as single purchases and in subscription models—we didn’t want to be just another company pushing coffee. We wanted what we made available for purchase to be coffees that we enjoyed personally and served at our locations. We also wanted to democratize the coffee selection process. There are really great coffee roasters all over the globe. Some are well known with sexy branding and packaging, others not so much. Those distinctions are not what make for a great cup of coffee.
At a craft coffee store, your coffee selections are curated by the coffee experts and made based on notes.”
AND a Joe & The Juice coming too: (more…)
