Samanta Rejc — The Art of Coffee & the Soul of Service

A great cup of coffee is not an accident. It is the result of a thousand decisions made with care — from the farm where the beans were grown, to the hands that brewed it, to the moment it reaches you.

At PiranArt, that moment belongs to Samanta Rejc.

More Than a Barista

Samanta is not simply a barista. She is a member of world specialty coffee organisations — part of a global community of professionals who have elevated coffee from a commodity to a craft, from a habit to an experience.

Her knowledge goes far beyond technique. She understands the origin of every bean, the story behind every farm, the science of every extraction. And she brings all of that knowledge to every single cup she prepares — with the kind of quiet mastery that only comes from years of genuine dedication.

But what truly sets Samanta apart is her belief that coffee should be discovered, not just consumed.

When you sit down at PiranArt and order a coffee, Samanta does not simply hand you a drink. She invites you into a conversation — about where the coffee comes from, how it was grown, why it tastes the way it does. She turns a simple moment into something memorable.

The World of Specialty Coffee

Specialty coffee is not a trend. It is a movement — a commitment to quality, transparency, and the belief that the people who grow coffee deserve to be known and celebrated.

At PiranArt, every coffee served meets specialty grade standards:

• Transparent sourcing — every origin is chosen with care and ethical awareness
• Brewing precision — every cup is prepared with the exact technique that brings out its best
• Seasonal selection — the menu evolves with the harvests, always offering what is freshest and finest
• Coffee storytelling — every cup comes with a story, if you want to hear it

The Art of Mocktails

Samanta's creativity does not stop at coffee. She is also the creator of PiranArt's original mocktail menu — a collection of alcohol-free drinks that are as complex, beautiful, and satisfying as any cocktail.

Each mocktail is crafted with the same philosophy as the coffee: real ingredients, thoughtful combinations, artistic presentation. Herbs from the garden. Seasonal fruits. Unexpected flavours that surprise and delight.

For guests who do not drink alcohol — or simply want something different — Samanta's mocktails offer a world of flavour that is entirely their own.

The Operational Heart of PiranArt

Behind the warmth and beauty of PiranArt, there is a precision that makes everything work. That precision belongs to Samanta.

As Operational Manager, she is the person who ensures that every detail of the PiranArt experience is exactly as it should be — from the quality of the ingredients to the flow of the service, from the training of the team to the consistency of every cup and every plate.

She is the reason PiranArt runs with the smoothness of a place that has been doing this for decades — even as it is only just beginning.

Three Passions, One Purpose

Samanta brings three things to PiranArt that cannot be taught: passion, precision, and presence.

Passion for coffee that is genuinely extraordinary. Precision in everything she does. And a presence — a warmth, an attentiveness, a genuine interest in every guest — that makes people feel seen and welcome from the moment they walk in.

Together with Sash and Mama Jožica, she is one of the three pillars on which PiranArt stands.

Come for the coffee. Stay for the conversation. Leave with a story.
