Disappointed by the experience at Café Unido. We waited well over 20 minutes for a coffee, only to be told by the barista that he was on his lunch break. While we absolutely respect the need for breaks, it would be helpful if this was reflected on Google or posted somewhere clearly—especially since the café appeared open. He even got up to give ice to someone working at another kiosk when asked, so it wasn’t that he couldn’t move. It just felt like customers weren’t a priority. In the meantime, at least three other customers came and left, including us. What made it more frustrating was that the barista wasn’t even eating—just sitting and chatting with a friend. If you’re closed or on break, let people know. Otherwise, it feels like customers’ time isn’t being valued.

It’s hard to find great baristas with a chill and welcoming vibe! They are consistent every time and have great vibes!

I went in on 4th of July for the first time and tried an iced la banda (lavender) cappuccino at the awesome Robin's suggestion. It was creamy and perfect for the summer day, and Robin was so kind! I took my friend back the next day and we got an iced cortado, an iced orange despadura, and an iced.. vanilla latte! Yeah. Another customer suggested adding mocha to the orange, and it was HEAVENLY. I was skeptical of orange in coffee, but no, I was wrong! There's a reason why the despadura is the most popular drink! The other baristas are equally nice, and I just like the vibe there in general. We found a nice place to sit outside. I think the only suggestion I'd give is to make the coffee display in the center of the shop a bit smaller so people can get around it more easily. Unido is so cool. ☕️🌸

A solid coffee shop. My hot latte was a bit odd, but another iced was done very well.

Drink quality is never consistent. When I decide to risk it here, it might be really good, or something that's 1/3 foam and tastes like steamed milk. Not sure how long I'll keep trying. They offer interesting flavors and the atmosphere is nice, but none of that matters when the coffee is that off. If it's 8+ dollars for a drink it better be damn good. My advice is taste first, tip after with cash

Popped in for a quick drink and snack with my friend. Had a very nice vibe. I got an ice orange raspuado latte with oat milk and some vegan empanadas. We really liked the drink and the empanadas. Delicious!

Small location but still great quality and strong coffee aroma. You can work from here.
Chocolate chip cookie delicious! Service wasn't that great. I asked if my order could be takeout and the server was kind of mean and said that they are all takeout when I could see clearly other people having cups for dine in.

Highly recommend the orange raspadura latte. It’s great iced or hot and is one of the best lattes in DC!
