20 YEARS OF DESPAÑA
A celebration of Despaña Fine Foods & Tapas Cafe
For 20 years, Despaña Fine Foods & Tapas Café has been a gathering place for chefs, neighbors, travelers, and lovers of Spanish cuisine. What began as a small specialty shop in SoHo grew into a café, a community, and a bridge between Spain and New York.
This anniversary is a moment to reflect — on the people who built this space, the food that brings us together, and the stories that continue to unfold every day.

Bringing you best of Spain
Here's to the next 20
Twenty years ago, Despaña opened its doors in SoHo with a simple mission: to share the flavors of Spain with New York.
What followed has been far more than a café -- it’s become a community built around food, tradition, and connection. To everyone who has visited, shared a meal, supported our team, or made Despaña part of your New York story, gracias!
We can’t wait for what’s next.
