Curator’s note
As a Colombian immigrant, Andrés Piñeros built The Boy & The Bear without inherited infrastructure, institutional investment or a business education. The White Store opened in December 2019, five minutes from LAX.
The Coffee
Nordic Lights, the original cold brew, steeps for 24 hours and comes ready to go. Every lot in the Emerald Series of Colombian coffees carries the price paid for it beside the C-market price, among them Sareni, a natural from Buesaco in Nariño grown at 1,900 to 2,100 meters.

The Vibe
The White Store's tan stucco front carries SPECIALTY COFFEE ROASTERY on a dark sign hung over a wall of glass, with low hedges along the front and the boy-and-bear mark on the pane. Inside, the ceiling is a white drop grid with recessed lights, a glass globe hangs from a small square frame behind the bar, and a glass pastry case sits on the white counter beside two grinders.
