First Coffee

"First Coffee" is a small specialty coffee located in Gijón.

From 8:30 a.m., they offer homemade breakfasts (the potato omelet is a delicacy you can't miss) and delicious coffees until 6:00 p.m.

The owner of the establishment and the person in charge of everything is Jairo.

I would define Jairo as one of those people who says little and does a lot. Very professional, humble, and hardworking.

"Primero Café" is a perfect example of how an entrepreneur can open a business focused on coffee and, through their research and training, discover the world of specialty coffeeThis causes a radical change in his business that is now irreversible.

He is a very good example of how this transition should be made; he researched the sector, trained himself and started little by little introducing an alternative mill with a specialty roaster.

A plan was established and executed taking advantage of the third anniversary of "Primero Café" which consisted of the following:

• A series of small makeovers on your premises, "Daria Fedotova» (our designer) made a beautiful mural.

• Purchased a white Marzocco Classic coffee maker.

• He removed commercial coffee completely and now only works with specialty coffees, in this case roasted by St. Augustine.

Jairo is a barista with a long history in the coffee industry. Every morning, he calibrates the grinders and finds the best recipe for each coffee, aiming to deliver perfect flavor consistency with every shot. His ability to handle more than 300 coffees a day is a testament to his dedication and passion for coffee.

This place is famous for its chicken sandwiches with mustard sauce and potato tortillas. They also offer a wide variety of options, including croissants, toast, homemade cakes, and the delicious tumaca bread toast. It's the perfect place to enjoy a quick and delicious meal.

Jairo is accompanied by a barista and a cook.

This is the typical place that offers few things but does them exceptionally well. I wish there were more places like this, and it's definitely worth a visit.

If you're in Gijón, this is a must-visit spot to enjoy a good specialty coffee!!!
