Gabriel Navarro is a Toronto-based coffee consultant, and long-time friend of mine since my Toronto coffee days. He started his coffee career in Canada, working as a barista all over Toronto, and later consulting coffee businesses around the world including Soho House, Sorry Coffee, Tokyo Smoke, Tim Hortons, and even opening his chain of coffee shops in Toronto, Nava Social.

We chat about what it means to be a coffee consultant in its different forms, the most important things to pay attention to when opening a café, and how to position yourself for success as a coffee professional, even from very early days in your career, and a range of other topics.
