Welcome to Pastor.
Is it a coffee shop? Is it a brewery? Is it a wine cellar? Pastora is much more than that. It's a drinking cult and a tribute to the fruits of the earth . In this new space of La Latina, life is taken in sips of coffee, wine or beer . The essence lies in the adjectives that accompany them: coffee specialty , came natural and beer craft . And that changes everything.
On October 4 Pastora saw the light , modestly but bravely, uncertainly but enthusiastically. At that moment, Sara and Juan Camilo decided to share their experience with coffee and their love for wine and beer , and from this was born a space with take away identity who comes to buy, to drink, but above all, to discover.
La Latina has a new member.
There, like wise mentors, they both intend infect your customers with this predilection . Your only duty is to let yourself be fascinated and prepare your palate to lose yourself in a world that has so many nuances as many people as there are in the world. in Pastor, having a drink becomes almost an artistic discipline , but without fuss, here it is celebrated the proximity, the local and the authentic.
THE BLAME WAS THE COFFEE
The germ of the idea began two and a half years ago, when Juan Camilo launched La Noria Coffee Project . The initiative consists of Colombian coffee import , both from the farms of small producers, and from that of his family. And now, what started with the purpose of expanding the family business , has become an exhibition of different types of coffee based on respect for the process.
Pastora, much more than coffee, wine and beer.
The fundamental pillars of the project are transparency and traceability sample of the product , in an effort to see rewarding the effort of all the members of this art of coffee . And so, they began to sell in various cafeterias until they whet their appetite for take the experience into your own hands and the desire to put a face on La Noria Coffee Project translated into what Pastora embodies today.
And after a few minutes of conversation you can already realize that, what has led Sara and Juan Camilo to put these three popular concoctions together under one roof, is nothing more than a declaration of love to the land and all it has to offer. Whether grain or fruit, his passion is focused on "that the land expresses what it has" says Sarah.

The one that will wake you up in the morning, the one with the foam in a pitcher and the one with the discreet chin, chin! in glass, but in the same way, the three who have accompanied us in some of our best moments.
La Noria Coffee Project was the seed of Pastora.

FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
The neighborhood philosophy runs through Pastora from the moment you walk through the door. Already connoisseurs of La Latina , ventured to create this flirty business without knowing if people would open their arms to these very specific products. The result has been the unconditional support of the neighbors, and a receptive clientele of all ages to try and find out more.
This closeness has been translated, not only in details such as furniture and decoration, but also in appetizers such as sweets from the San Francisco bakery , right next door, or the sourdough cake by Reposted , among others. In short, the proverb “everything stays in the family” It could be his slogan.
After all, after a few impersonal months marked by distance, what we are all looking for is interaction: a chat, a laugh, a toast. Thus, you can go to Pastora for your beer, wine or coffee, but you will also have one of those conversations that always make you come back.
