Restaurant India News: Barista Partners with William Penn to Launch Coffee-Inspired Limited Edition Gifting Collection

Barista Coffee Company, one of India’s leading home-grown coffee chains, has announced a limited-edition gifting collection in collaboration with American pen brand William Penn. The initiative combines Barista’s café culture with William Penn’s expertise in writing instruments and accessories, offering a new dimension to the brand’s lifestyle portfolio.

The collection draws inspiration from the aesthetics of coffee, featuring products such as notebooks, pens, and accessories in coffee-themed hues and textures. The centerpiece is the exclusive Sheaffer Coffee Edition gift boxes, which celebrate the connection between writing, reflection, and coffee rituals. These boxes are available for a limited time at select Barista cafés across India.

We are delighted to partner with one of the leading writing instruments brands, William Penn for its new range reflecting Barista’s true essence. Moreover, it brings together our mutual love for craftsmanship, creativity, and coffee. From the rich coffee textured boxes to the coffee-scented ink, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to awaken the senses and offer coffee lovers a distinctive, immersive experience beyond the cup. At Barista, we continue to meet the evolving needs and demands of the consumers.”

Nikhil Ranjan, Managing Director, William Penn, Sheaffer and Lapis Bard, added: “For years, coffee has inspired people to write, and this, in turn, inspired us to create the Sheaffer Coffee Edition pen and its companion products, celebrating this timeless bond. Meticulously crafted, the collection honours the enduring appeal of analog while embracing innovation. Our collaboration with Barista, one of India’s most iconic café brands, makes this journey even more special, uniting two worlds that share a passion for creativity, craftsmanship, and coffee culture. The products, inspired by different coffee roasts, reflect our commitment to personal preferences. As we continue to push boundaries, Sheaffer’s legacy of excellence remains our guiding principle.”

By partnering with William Penn, Barista positions itself at the intersection of lifestyle and hospitality, offering customers gifting options rooted in design, culture, and craftsmanship.
