Panamanian coffee company Café Unido made a splash when it first landed in the United States at La Cosecha marketplace with its coveted geisha coffees. (The variety is known as the most expensive in the world, and complex cups are brewed-to-order for $10 or $20 at the Union Market-area cafe.) Now Unido partners Benito Bermudez, Feres Yebaile, and chef Mario Castrellon are opening a Café Unido roasting facility and indoor/outdoor cafe nearby in the former Dolcezza space. In addition to more specialty coffee production, the place will offer cuppings and fun food-and-coffee pairings when it debuts June 1.
