Café y Té is Spain’s leading chain of coffee shops and cafeterias.

Founded in 1993 by Gustavo Ron and headquartered in Barcelona, Café & Té (C&T) is the market-leading chain of coffee shops and cafeterias in Spain. C&T employs495 people, 244 full-time, the rest part-time.

Spain remains a country where almost everyone sits down to eat their lunch. Cafeterias are the preferred format, being faster and cheaper than formal restaurants and more comfortable and appealing than bars.

C&T has 70 owned and two franchised outlets in prime locations. The brand offers a combination of specialist coffees and teas with good quality food at reasonable prices. It captures all daily consumption slots (breakfast, brunch, lunch and evening meals).

All stores are branded and share a colonial look and comfortable ambience.
