why?
News and Coffee is bringing back to life a piece of our cities which little by little has been disappearing: The Newsstand. We wanted to show that it doesn't have to be, and that by giving the idea care and passion, it was possible to find it a new place in our daily lives. We believe that the best ideas are simple, and require perfect execution: Next to the necessary newspapers, a selection of independent magazines and books. And to go alongside? A great cup of specialty coffee to go.

PABLO
Over the last 2 decades, Pablo has become a staple in Barcelona when it comes to rolling out ambitious new hospitality & event projects. From the last coat of painting of the build phase to the first day of opening to customers, Pablo will leverage the full extent of his 18 years of experience in the hospitality business in order to make projects come to life, and run like clockwork. Operational management, communication, finance are other parts he's been able to tap into thanks his extensive network, now regrouped under Mise en Place, his agency.
DAVIDE
Davide is the face of Victoria Arduino in this part of the world, and has been involved in coffee for most of his professional life, with a preference for the machine part of the business... made in Italy, of course. After building up his craft around Europe, working with some of the industry biggest names, he finally settled down in 2017 in Barcelona, and opened his own company: Epoca Technologies. From this platform, he can offer to his clients the best tech available in the espresso coffee machine world, alongside an always impeccable technical service.
GAUTIER
The third part of the trio behind News and Coffee. After a career in fashion and marketing, he came back to his beloved Barcelona in 2018, in the hospitality industry this time. He brings to this venture his interest for brand building, paired with a trained eye for rigorous business development. He's been charged with channeling the energy behind the project into a sound and lasting venture, while protecting the fun spirit behind the idea.
YAËL
What better Art Director than an actual artist? Antwerp-born, Barcelona-based Yaël Hupert joined in 2020 the News and Coffee journey, and has taken over editorial selection of magazines since then, taking the selection from 20 to over 80 references, across 15 countries. Internationally recognized for her decade-long career as a painter, Yaël gets to share through this unusual platform some of the reads which inspire her: from interior design to fashion, from photography to eclectic sport stories... who knows what will be next?
