Syra Coffee
Syra Coffee
Syra started as a tiny takeaway hatch in Gràcia in October 2015, opened by trained architect Yassir Raïs to bring proper specialty coffee to his neighbourhood, and grew into a roaster with cafés across Spain. It roasts weekly in Barcelona, pouring 100% single-origin arabica bought directly from small farms and cooperatives. This Gràcia address stays true to the original idea: a properly made cup to go, plus beans to take home.
Background
About Syra Coffee
The Story
Syra Coffee started as a tiny takeaway hatch in Gràcia, opened on 20 October 2015 by founder Yassir Raïs a trained architect who wanted to bring proper specialty coffee to his neighbourhood at a time when the to-go, quality-first model barely existed in Barcelona. That first small premises grew into a roaster with cafés across several Spanish cities, but the idea has stayed the same: democratise good coffee. Syra roasts weekly in Barcelona and pours 100% single-origin Arabica, buying directly from small farms, families and cooperatives origins have included Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Brazil and Uganda. Expect espresso and filter done carefully, with home-brew methods like V60, Aeropress and cold brew championed on their beans. This Gràcia address on Carrer de la Mare de Déu dels Desemparats is a coffee-first spot, not a sit-down kitchen come for a properly made cup and beans to take home.

Syra Coffee Dining Experience
A coffee-first roaster-café in Gràcia built on a takeaway, less-is-more model. Walk-ins are welcome; the focus is single-origin espresso and filter plus beans to take home, with sweet bites like cinnamon buns rather than a full kitchen.
