Right Side Coffee Bar
Right Side is the Gothic Quarter bar of the roastery Joaquín Parra started in 2012 with about €2,000 and a secondhand roaster in a garage; he's since won the Spanish Roasting Championship three times. Everything is imported directly and roasted in Castelldefels on restored vintage Probat machines, including a 1959 UG22. The bar itself opened in 2023: bright, compact and coffee-first, with espresso, filter and artisan pastries.
Background
About Right Side Coffee Bar
The Story
Right Side Coffee is the Barcelona bar of a roaster that started small and stubborn. Joaquín Parra launched it in 2012 with about €2,000 and a secondhand roaster in a garage, having grown up around the family green-coffee import business. He's since become a three-time Spanish Roasting Champion SCA national titles in 2013 and 2017 among them and competed at the World Coffee Roasting Championship; his partner Lara San Miguel joined in 2014. The team imports 100% of its coffee directly and roasts single origins in Castelldefels, just south of the city, on lovingly restored vintage Probat machines (a 1993 L12 and a 1959 UG22). The Gothic Quarter bar, opened in 2023, is where you drink the results: a bright, compact, coffee-first room with big windows, pouring espresso and filter alongside artisan pastries. Beans and subscriptions are for sale too.

Experience
Right Side Coffee Bar Dining Experience
A bright, compact, coffee-first room on a narrow Gothic Quarter lane, with large windows and plenty of natural light. The focus is squarely on the cup espresso and filter from the house's own single-origin roasts, with artisan pastries and breakfasts rather than a full kitchen. Seating is limited and it leans more counter than lounge.
