Coffee at Unicentro Pereira: our Café Los Grisales shop
Coffee at Unicentro Pereira — that is how many of our regulars refer to our shop located inside Unicentro Pereira, one of the city's most visited shopping centers. For Café Los Grisales, this space represents the opportunity to bring our specialty coffee offer into the daily rhythm of those who live, work, or visit northern Pereira.
The shop was born from a simple conviction: specialty coffee does not have to hide in a bohemian neighborhood to be authentic. It can stand in the heart of a shopping center, accessible to the whole city, and still maintain the quality standards that define Café Los Grisales.
Where we are in Unicentro
Our shop is located inside the Unicentro Pereira shopping center, in a spot that is easy to reach whether you are there for shopping or looking for a place to work or meet with a quality cup. The location was a deliberate choice: Unicentro draws a wide cross-section of Pereira's public, and that lets us introduce specialty coffee to people who might never have sought out a niche café on their own.

The shop atmosphere
One of the things visitors appreciate most about our Unicentro shop is the atmosphere. We designed the space with two complementary visitor profiles in mind: the customer looking for a quick break between errands, and the one who wants to settle in to work or have a longer conversation.
The barista bar is the visual heart of the space. From anywhere in the shop you can watch the barista work the espresso machine, calibrate the grinder, or prepare a manual pour-over. We want the coffee preparation to be part of the experience, not something that happens out of sight in a back kitchen.
Warm lighting, natural materials, and visual references to the coffee landscape create a pleasant counterpoint to the dynamic environment of the shopping center. It is a space that says "pause for a moment" in the middle of a busy day of shopping or meetings.
What to order
The menu at our Unicentro shop reflects the same single-origin philosophy that runs through all of Café Los Grisales. Some pointers to guide your visit:
If you want to explore origin coffee: Order the seasonal espresso or the filter preparation available that day. Our baristas rotate farm lots throughout the year to offer different profiles: one month might feature a natural with fruity notes, and the next a brighter, more citric washed coffee.
If you prefer something more approachable: Our milk coffees — cortado, latte, cappuccino — are all made with the same specialty espresso base. The difference from a conventional coffee chain is palpable in the first sip: there is depth and clarity of flavor that is hard to achieve with generic blend beans.
For a more sensory experience: Ask about the manual brew of the day. V60, Chemex, or Aeropress allow the nuances of origin to express themselves more openly. It is the perfect option for anyone who wants to sit down, take their time, and really explore what the coffee has to say.
Food pairings: We offer a selection of pastries that complement the cup of the day. Our baristas can suggest what pairs best with your chosen coffee.

If you want to experience specialty coffee beyond the cup, remember that we offer a Coffee Tour where you can visit the farm and follow the process from the very first step. It is the deepest way to connect with the origin of the coffee you enjoy here at Unicentro.
