10 years of great coffee in Donosti ☕️🌿

This year, at Old Town Coffee Roasters, we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary in Donosti! We were the first specialty coffee spot in the city, and now that the coffee scene is growing like crazy, we want to be part of shaping the next generation of baristas. Whether it’s at home or in the cafés and restaurants of Donosti, we believe coffee deserves to be brewed with care and love — so that everyone gets to enjoy the real thing.


Meet Alexis, your trainer 🙋🏽‍♂️

The course will be taught by Alexis, our in-house barista at Old Town Coffee Roasters. He’s amazing — super knowledgeable in both theory and practice, patient, detail-oriented, and, most importantly, a great teacher. You’re going to be in the best hands.
