Nappuccino, which comes from nap, siesta in English, and from cappuccino, that delicious and creamy Italian coffee, is found in the Muntaner street , right in the center of Barcelona.
“We choose Barcelona to create nappuccino , but we also think about Copenhagen , where I had studied, also Paris and Madrid . We have made many trips to study the market and where it could work better”, tells Traveler.es, Celina Lipinska.
Nappuccino is located on Calle Muntaner 22, in Barcelona's Eixample.

Celina and Sylvian have based their cafeteria on this concept. An idea that offers a micro nap and ephemeral breaks because, as they say, and many mothers and fathers in Spain: "This is not a hotel."
"The idea is disconnect and rest not just sleep . Here you can do it for 5 euros an hour ”. The target with hourly pay it is prevent tourists from staying all day , paying only for a coffee. So the prices are fair: 5 euros for one hour, 10 euros for two hours, 14 euros for three hours, and for more hours, 20 euros a day.
This includes unlimited open bar of drinks ( except beers and wine) and also snacks like hummus or muffins. And of course, Wifi because in each cubicle there is enough space to work . “The light inspires tranquility, also the plants. we wanted a relaxing environment although not too cozy”, explains Sylvain, architect of Nappuccino.
Spain is the country of the siesta so it was strange that countries like Japan and China . Where will the next appear? 'nap-coffee' ? Let's make bets.
