Best Specialty Coffee in Mallorca

Surry Hills brings Sydney-style brunch and specialty coffee to Carrer del Carme in Palma's Old Town, named for the Sydney neighbourhood that inspired it. The coffee comes from Mistral, including a house cold brew called Meet Me at Surry, alongside all-day brunch plates and house-made pastries in a casual, minimalist dining room. Its sister venue, Hotto Coffee Lab, is a coffee school and micro-roastery a short walk away at Plaça de Raimundo Clar, so you can go deeper on the coffee side after your visit. Weekends get busy: reviewers recommend arriving before 11am for a table, or sticking to takeaway coffee and pastries from the counter on quieter midweek mornings.

Malloria is an owner-operated café on a quiet side street in Alcúdia's historic centre, pairing espresso drinks like flat whites with home-made cakes and savoury bakes such as empanadas and quiche. The boho-decorated space has both indoor and outdoor seating, and it accommodates vegan and plant-based diners with vegan desserts, plant-based milk and decaf coffee on offer. Reviewers call it "an absolute gem," praising the care that goes into both the coffee and the desserts. It's closed Mondays, and there's free street parking nearby with accessible spaces available, useful if you're driving up from Palma for the day.

L'Epicerie has been baking croissants, pain au chocolat and sourdough from organic French flour daily since it opened in Alcúdia in 2019, and its coffee program is just as considered: Colombian beans roasted weekly by Bay Coffee Roasters in Mallorca, pulled on a La Marzocco machine. Alongside the bakery counter, it stocks local Mallorcan products including cheese, wine and cured meats, so it doubles as a stop for provisions. Counter service is quick and offered in English, German, Spanish and French, and a recent renovation added outdoor seating for cyclists and beachgoers passing along Carretera d'Artà between Alcúdia and Can Picafort.

Cafè Riutort combines a specialty coffee counter with an artisan bakery on Carrer del Carme in Palma's Old Town, serving breakfast, coffee and house-made pastries and breads for dine-in or takeaway. It's been described as "the most urban café in Palma," with a relaxed, unpretentious feel that draws locals and visitors alike. The bakery side means it also works as a food store, so you can pick up baked goods and pantry items to take away, not just sit-down coffee. Note that it has limited wheelchair accessibility, with steps or restricted access, and it's closed Mondays and Sundays, so plan a weekday visit and arrive early for the best pastry selection.

Bacán is a minimalist, small-format café in Palma's Centro district, brewing beans from Madrid roaster Hola Coffee across espresso, filter, cold brew and nitro. The brunch menu is concise but considered, with Eggs Benedict, Turkish eggs and avocado-egg toasts, plus vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. It's dog-friendly, kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible, and the small terrace out back gives it a leafy, close-quarters feel that's popular with locals and visitors staying nearby. Seating is limited, especially on weekends, so it can mean a short wait if you turn up at peak brunch hours. Open daily roughly 8:30am to 2:30pm.

Menut Cafè sits just off Avinguda Jaume III in central Palma, serving espresso drinks made with beans from Barcelona roaster Nomad alongside cold brew, juices, pastries and brunch dishes. Coffee writers have singled out its cortado as "sweet and smooth," and the café frames itself as a place for lingering rather than rushing, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It stays open into the evening Tuesday to Saturday, shifting from quiet coffee mornings to a different mood later on, with shorter hours Monday and closed Sunday. A solid pick if you want a neighbourhood coffee stop near the shopping strip rather than an Old Town crowd.

The Barn Coffee Roasters is a Berlin-founded specialty coffee network with cafés across several countries, and its Palma location on La Rambla is listed among its official Specialty Coffee Cafés. All the coffee is roasted centrally in Berlin, so this is more a coffee-and-cakes stop than a full restaurant: espresso drinks, filter coffee, tea and pastries, close to the old town. Listed hours run 10:00-13:00 and 13:30-16:30, seven days a week, which is worth checking before you plan a visit around it, since it's a narrower window than most cafés on this list.

Federal Café Palma sits in the Llevant neighbourhood as part of the Federal Café group, which also runs locations in Barcelona and Madrid. It's open every day from 9am to 9pm, with a menu that spans breakfast bowls and toast through to lunch dishes, burgers and an extensive coffee and drinks list, so it works as well for an afternoon coffee as it does for brunch. Menus are available in Spanish, English and Catalan on the website. It's a good option if you want a longer-hours, all-day café rather than a morning-only specialty coffee bar.

Bo's occupies Pollença's historic old town and runs, in its own words, "from espresso to martini," meaning specialty coffee and house-baked sourdough by day and cocktails by evening. Reviewers highlight the in-house sourdough baking and rotating seasonal bowls, and it also retails specialty coffee beans for takeaway if you want to bring some home. It gets busier on Pollença's market days, so arrive early for the best selection of fresh bread, and note it's closed Wednesdays and not wheelchair accessible. Worth the detour if you're staying in the north of the island rather than Palma.

Mistral Coffee roasts its own beans in Mallorca on a 12kg Probatone roaster, sourcing 100% traceable, seasonally produced Arabica to SCA standards, and pours it across three of its own Palma cafés: Coffee House, Coffee Banc and Ponent. Coffee House, at Plaça de Weyler, is open longest, Monday to Saturday 8:30am to 5pm and Sunday 9am to 2pm, while Ponent runs daily 8am to 3pm and Coffee Banc closes on Sundays. It's a solid pick if you want to taste the same Mallorca-roasted beans that supply Surry Hills' cold brew, in a cozy, stylish room built for quiet conversation and quick service.

Sāntal occupies a restored 17th-century windmill in Santa Catalina, one of the buildings that once ground grain and pumped water across Mallorca, with thick stone walls, high ceilings and a greenery-filled terrace. Owner Rodrigo Moreno built the menu around single-origin pour-overs and flat whites, an expanding brunch menu and daily in-house pastries. In 2025 it was one of only two Palma establishments awarded a Solete in the Guía Repsol. It also operates as an event and wedding venue at the same site, so the room does more than serve coffee. The setting alone makes it worth the walk into Santa Catalina.

La Molienda has sourced and roasted its own specialty coffee in Palma since 2013, working with small farms worldwide on an ethical, sustainable basis. It runs three low-key, casual shops: two in Palma, at Bisbe Campins and Arxiduc Lluís Salvador, and a third in Pollença, all serving coffee, toast, local pastries and curated regional products. Hours run Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm and weekends 9am to 2pm at the Palma locations, with the Pollença shop open daily 9am to 3pm. A reliable choice if you're moving between Palma and the north of the island and want the same roaster both places.

Arabay's Palma flagship sits right on Plaça Major, with a stylish, cozy room and an easy-going pace suited to a solo coffee break. The menu covers espresso alongside filter methods like V60, Chemex and siphon, plus small llonguet sandwiches and other bites if you want something alongside the coffee. The company operates multiple flagship stores and coffee corners across the Balearic Islands and Madrid, per its own site. If you're after a wider range of manual brew methods than a typical Palma café offers, this is the one to seek out.
