Right Side Coffee
Right Side’s “never forget origins” ethos shows in producer first sourcing, transparent labels, and light, precise. Communication is clear and information forward, and season to season the cups are consistently clean and well structured. As a Barcelona area reference, Right Side has helped push a modern, origin driven approach across the Spanish specialty scene.
Background
Founded in 2012 by Joaquín Parra, Right Side grew from a small roastery in Castelldefels into one of Barcelona’s most influential specialty projects. The philosophy is producer first and lot specific, with seasonal single origin coffees roasted light to highlight sweetness, clarity, and place. Right Side states its purpose plainly, “sourcing consciously, roasting uniquely and brewing just right,” and the mantra “never forget origins” runs through labels, classes, and service. In 2023 the team opened Right Side Coffee Bar in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, giving a focused, tasting led window into the house style.

Panel evaluation
Right Side’s cups open with gentle sweetness and then snap into focus, the acidity clear and neatly placed. Washed lots carry the line with citrus, stone fruit; naturals bring ripe fruit in a clean frame, and the occasional experimental release feels measured rather than flashy. Labels are producer first with farm and lot easy to see, while product pages fill in variety, process, and harvest without noise. Season to season the profile stays honest and bright, and service in the coffee bar mirrors that restraint, letting the cups do the talking.

Right Side Coffee Bar in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter is a bright, window-lined room where high ceilings and clean lines carve out a calm pocket just off the old alleyways. At the bar, Right Side’s own coffees are poured as precise espresso and modern filter, with friendly, knowledgeable baristas guiding guests through a seasonal lineup that has quietly made this small space a reference point for specialty coffee in the historic centre.
