São Paulo – The reopening of coffeeshops following the first impacts of the novel coronavirus pandemic will be one topic discussed in the International Coffee Week (SIC). The panel ‘São Paulo: Reopening Coffeeshops & Businesses’ takes place on Wednesday (18) at noon (BRT). The event will be online and free of charge and feature Diego Gonzales of Sofá Café, Vitor Saponik of Caffè Latte and Ana Oliveira and Daniel Tavares of O Cabral Café, as well as Brazil Arab News Agency (ANBA) reporter Thais Fernandes.
