About
Nomad Coffee was founded in 2014 by Jordi Mestre in Barcelona, and in the decade since has become one of Spain's most influential specialty roasters. The company operates multiple café and roasting locations in the city and has built an education arm — The Coffee Academy — that offers barista certification courses, workshops, and home-brewing instruction, positioning Nomad as much a training institution as a roaster.
According to Filter Travel by Coffee, Nomad has been setting the pace for specialty coffee in Spain since its founding, with Mestre at the forefront of a scene that was still finding its footing in 2014. The roaster's growth from a single Barcelona outpost to a multi-location operation with wholesale accounts reaching cafés around the world reflects both the maturation of the Spanish specialty market and Nomad's role in shaping it.
Nomad roasts at its Barcelona locations — an uncommon integration of production and retail that lets the team control quality from roast to cup. The wholesale arm distributes to cafés internationally, extending the roastery's reach beyond Spain. The Coffee Academy formalizes what was likely always part of the operation's DNA: a belief that better coffee requires better education, whether for professionals sitting for a barista credential or home brewers learning to dial in a pour-over.

Coffee & Beans Review
Filter Travel by Coffee described Nomad as being 'at the forefront of specialty coffee in Barcelona' and credited founder Jordi Mestre with helping set the pace for the Spanish market since 2014 — a meaningful distinction in a country where specialty coffee culture arrived later than in northern Europe. Double Skinny Macchiato reviewed the roastery as early as 2017, placing it among the must-visit stops on any coffee-focused trip to Barcelona, with the original Passatge Sert location in the Born neighborhood as the anchor address.
Visitors to Barcelona can find Nomad at multiple locations, each of which both roasts and sells coffee on-site. The Passatge Sert 12 address in the 08003 postal code remains a reference point from earlier coverage; current branch count varies by source, with reports ranging from two to three locations as of recent years. For those outside Spain, Nomad operates wholesale distribution to cafés internationally — direct inquiry through the website is the most reliable route to sourcing their coffees abroad.
