# Best Specialty Coffee in Mallorca > Specialty coffee across Mallorca: Surry Hills, Bacán and Sāntal's windmill café in Palma, plus Alcúdia's Malloria and L'Epicerie. - **Canonical URL:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/best-specialty-coffee - **City:** Mallorca, Spain - **Published:** 2026-08-07 - **Updated:** 2026-08-08 - **Author:** Justin Mota, Guidavera founder - **Reading time:** 14 min ## Introduction Mallorca's specialty coffee scene has grown well past the postcard granizado, and Palma is the center of it: Surry Hills brings Sydney-style brunch and a house cold brew from Mistral roasters to the Old Town, Bacán pours single-origin filter, cold brew and nitro from Madrid's Hola Coffee behind a leafy back patio, and Mistral Coffee and La Molienda both roast their own beans on the island across multiple shops. Head outside Palma and the scene keeps going. Malloria anchors Alcúdia's old town with its own bakery-café combination, L'Epicerie runs a French bakery and coffee bar on the edge of town roasting its house espresso weekly with Bay Coffee Roasters, and Bo's in Pollença runs specialty coffee by day and cocktails by night around its own sourdough baking. ## Key picks at a glance - **Best for Old Town brunch and coffee together** — [Surry Hills](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/surry-hills): Australian-style brunch and a house Mistral cold brew, a short walk from sister roastery Hotto Coffee Lab. - **Best small-batch pour-over** — [Bacán](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/bacan): Single-origin filter, cold brew and nitro from Madrid roaster Hola Coffee, poured in a minimalist room with a leafy patio. - **Best homegrown Mallorca roaster** — [Mistral Coffee](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/mistral-coffee): Roasts its own SCA-standard, fully traceable Arabica on the island and pours it across three Palma cafés. - **Best setting** — [Sāntal](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/santal): A specialty coffee café inside a restored 17th-century windmill in Santa Catalina, awarded a Solete in the 2025 Guía Repsol. - **Best outside Palma** — [L'Epicerie](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/l-epicerie): A family-run French bakery and specialty coffee bar in Alcúdia, roasting weekly with Bay Coffee Roasters. - **Best for manual brew methods** — [Arabay](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/arabay): V60, Chemex and siphon on the menu at its Plaça Major flagship. ## A guide to Specialty Coffee Shops in Mallorca ### What to know Specialty coffee in Mallorca tends to mean one of two things: a café pouring beans from an established mainland or European roaster, such as Barcelona's Nomad, Madrid's Hola Coffee, or Berlin's The Barn, or a homegrown Mallorcan roaster doing its own sourcing and roasting on the island, like Mistral Coffee or La Molienda. Many of these cafés pair coffee with a brunch or bakery program rather than running as coffee-only bars, so expect food menus, not just an espresso counter, at most stops on this list. > "In Mallorca the specialty coffee scene runs from Australian-style brunch counters in Palma's Old Town to a windmill café in Santa Catalina and roasters slinging their own island-roasted beans." ## How we built this list This list draws on Guidavera's own ranking of each venue's public-facing coffee and food data, cross-checked against each café's own website, menus and hours where published, plus the sentiment surfaced in aggregated diner reviews (TripAdvisor, Google, and coffee-focused blogs like European Coffee Trip and Double Skinny Macchiato). Every claim about hours, sourcing, awards or specific dishes traces back to one of those sources; nothing here is invented. ## The 13 best Specialty Coffee Shops, compared | # | Restaurant | Neighbourhood | Price | Distinction | Signature dish | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Surry Hills](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/surry-hills) | Old Town (Carrer del Carme), Palma | €€ | — | — | | 2 | [Malloria](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/malloria) | Centre històric (old town), Alcúdia | €€ | — | — | | 3 | [L'Epicerie](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/l-epicerie) | Alcúdia | € | — | — | | 4 | [Cafè Riutort](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/cafe-riutort) | Old Town (Carrer del Carme, near La Rambla), Palma | €€ | — | — | | 5 | [Bacán](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/bacan) | Centro (Jaume III / Old Town), Palma | €€ | — | — | | 6 | [Menut Cafè](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/menut-cafe) | Centre (near Passeig Mallorca / Avinguda Jaume III), Palma | €€ | — | — | | 7 | [The Barn Coffee Roasters](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/the-barn-coffee-roasters) | Palma | € | — | — | | 8 | [Federal Café Palma](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/federal-cafe-palma) | Palma | € | — | — | | 9 | [Bo's](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/bo-s) | Old town (Es Centre), Pollença | €€ | — | — | | 10 | [Mistral Coffee](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/mistral-coffee) | Palma | € | — | — | | 11 | [Sāntal](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/santal) | Santa Catalina, Palma | €€ | — | — | | 12 | [La Molienda](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/la-molienda) | Palma | € | — | — | | 13 | [Arabay](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/arabay) | Palma | € | — | — | ## The 13 best Specialty Coffee Shops in Mallorca ### 1. Surry Hills *An Australian-style specialty coffee and brunch café in Palma's Old Town, sourcing from Mistral roasters, with a sister micro-roastery close by.* - **Neighbourhood:** Old Town (Carrer del Carme), Palma - **Address:** Carrer del Carme, 12, Centre, 07003 Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Website:** https://surryhillscoffee.com/en/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/surry-hills 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. ### 2. Malloria *An owner-run specialty coffee café and bakery tucked on a quiet side street in Alcúdia's old town.* - **Neighbourhood:** Centre històric (old town), Alcúdia - **Address:** Carrer de la Cisterna, 5, 07400 Alcúdia, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/malloria 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. ### 3. L'Epicerie *A family-run French bakery and specialty-coffee bar in Alcúdia, roasting its espresso beans locally and pulling them on a La Marzocco machine.* - **Neighbourhood:** Alcúdia - **Address:** Carretera d'Artà, 126, 07400 Alcúdia, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** € - **Website:** https://www.lepicerie.es/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/l-epicerie 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. ### 4. Cafè Riutort *A central Palma bakery-café on Carrer del Carme serving specialty coffee alongside house-made pastries and breads.* - **Neighbourhood:** Old Town (Carrer del Carme, near La Rambla), Palma - **Address:** C. del Carme, 25, Centre, 07003 Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/cafe-riutort 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. ### 5. Bacán *A small specialty-coffee café built around single-origin filter coffee from Madrid roaster Hola Coffee, with a leafy back patio.* - **Neighbourhood:** Centro (Jaume III / Old Town), Palma - **Address:** Carrer del Baró de Santa Maria del Sepulcre, 12, Bajos 2, 07012 Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/bacan 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. ### 6. Menut Cafè *A neighbourhood specialty coffee and brunch spot near Jaume III, pouring beans from Barcelona roaster Nomad.* - **Neighbourhood:** Centre (near Passeig Mallorca / Avinguda Jaume III), Palma - **Address:** Pg. de Mallorca, 14, Centre, 07012 Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Website:** https://menutcafe.es/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/menut-cafe 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. ### 7. The Barn Coffee Roasters *The Palma outpost of Berlin's international specialty coffee network, with all beans roasted centrally in Berlin.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** La Rambla 15, Palma, Balears, 07003, Spain - **Price:** € - **Website:** https://thebarn.de/pages/locations/the-barn-palma-de-mallorca - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/the-barn-coffee-roasters 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. ### 8. Federal Café Palma *The Palma branch of the Australian-founded Federal Café group, running an all-day specialty coffee and brunch menu in Llevant.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Plaça Francesc García i Orell, 3, Llevant, 07006 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** € - **Website:** https://www.federalcafe.es/federalpalma - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/federal-cafe-palma 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. ### 9. Bo's *A Pollença café that bakes its own sourdough and pairs specialty coffee with an evening cocktail menu.* - **Neighbourhood:** Old town (Es Centre), Pollença - **Address:** Carrer del Martell, 6, 07460 Pollença, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Website:** https://bospollenca.es/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/bo-s 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. ### 10. Mistral Coffee *A Mallorca-based roaster founded in 2017, running three of its own cafés across Palma with SCA-standard, fully traceable Arabica.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Coffee House: Plaça de Weyler, 2A, 07001 Palma; Coffee Banc: Carrer del Banc, 4, 07001 Palma; Ponent: Avinguda de Joan Miró, 326, 07015 Palma, Spain - **Price:** € - **Website:** https://mistralcoffee.com/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/mistral-coffee 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. ### 11. Sāntal *A specialty coffee café inside a restored 17th-century windmill in Santa Catalina, awarded a Solete in the 2025 Guía Repsol.* - **Neighbourhood:** Santa Catalina, Palma - **Address:** Carrer de la Indústria, 15, 07013 Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Website:** https://www.santal.info - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/santal 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. ### 12. La Molienda *A Palma-founded roaster since 2013, running three shops across Palma and Pollença on ethically sourced beans it roasts itself.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** La Molienda Bisbe (original): Bisbe Campins, 11, 07012 Palma; La Molienda Arxiduc (second): Arxiduc Lluis Salvador, 9, 07004 Palma; also a third location at Carrer de Cecili Metel, 37, 07460 Pollença, Spain - **Price:** € - **Website:** https://lamolienda.es/en/home/ - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/la-molienda 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. ### 13. Arabay *A Balearic coffee company with a Plaça Major flagship running espresso and filter methods including V60, Chemex and siphon.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Carrer del Sindicat, 5 (esquina Plaça Major), 07002 Palma, Spain - **Price:** € - **Website:** https://www.arabaycoffee.com/shop/stores - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/arabay 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. ## The Specialty Coffee Shops scene in Mallorca Coffee culture on Mallorca used to mean a quick cortado at the bar. Over the last decade a wave of dedicated specialty cafés, some run by outside roasters, some by the island's own, has built out a scene worth planning a stop around, from a windmill café in Santa Catalina to a bakery-café in Alcúdia's old town. This list is built for a traveller trying to figure out where that coffee is actually worth detouring for, and where it's simply attached to a good brunch. ## Know before you go ### 1. Weekend timing Surry Hills and Bacán both get busy on weekend mornings; Surry Hills reviewers suggest arriving before 11am, and Bacán's small seating fills up fastest at weekends. ### 2. Days closed Check opening days before you go: Cafè Riutort is closed Mondays and Sundays, Malloria is closed Mondays, and Bo's in Pollença is closed Wednesdays. ### 3. Multiple locations Mistral Coffee runs three cafés around Palma (Coffee House, Coffee Banc, Ponent) and La Molienda runs two in Palma plus one in Pollença, each with its own hours, so check which branch you're heading to. ### 4. Narrower hours The Barn Coffee Roasters on La Rambla keeps a narrower daily window, roughly 10:00-13:00 and 13:30-16:30, split by an afternoon closure, worth checking before you plan around it. ## Frequently asked questions ### What's the best specialty coffee café in Palma's Old Town?
