Boutique Nespresso La Maquinista

an independent roaster in sant andreu, which doesn't always get the coffee attention it deserves compared to gràcia or el born, but that's changing. boutique nespresso la maquinista sits on carrer de potosí, and the fact that locals have kept it well regarded says more than most marketing could. you don't stumble onto a spot like this by accident, not in a neighbourhood that runs on its own rhythms rather than tourist foot traffic. the operation is small, focused, and genuinely roasting rather than reselling, which matters if you care about where your cup actually comes from. worth knowing before you go: this is sant andreu, not the waterfront. come for a mid-morning espresso on potosí.
