Background
About SlowMov
The Story
SlowMov is a specialty-coffee roaster and café in la Vila de Gràcia. François and Carmen started it in 2015, and the name comes from the Slow Movement, the idea that things are done better when you respect the time each step needs. They roast their coffee in Barcelona and run the shop on Carrer de Neptú as the place where you can drink it.
The Cuisine
Specialty coffee, roasted in-house. SlowMov travels to origin to choose its coffees, sourcing from producers in countries like Brazil, Ethiopia and Mexico, and keeps long-term relationships with the farms it buys from. You can drink the coffee at the café or buy beans to take home, whole or ground, for espresso or filter. They've used compostable packaging since 2018.
The Team
François and Carmen started the project in 2015.

Its grid of narrow streets and small plaças keeps cars out and foot traffic in, and the area is known for independent shops, cafés and a strong local feel rather than chains.
