P

alma has a long history of cafe culture and today, there is no shortage of great cafes where you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee as you relax with friends or simply pick one up on the go. With an attention to sourcing beans from independent farmers, often with a focus on sustainable farming or organic processes, along with top-roasting facilities, much of it done in-house, these coffee houses apply passion and dedication to providing a perfect cup of coffee at every turn. 

These seven, centrally located cafes in Palma are some of our favourite go-to places, where culture and taste are perfectly blended and where each offers its own unique flavours and welcoming atmospheres. 

Mistral

If you are looking for high-quality specialty coffee with a focus on independent producers, and many organic, look no further than Mistral Coffee Roasters. Since their launch in 2017, coffee enthusiasts have been lining up to enjoy their freshly roasted coffee. With the opening of their wood and light-filled cafe in the Plaza Mercat, Mistral has become a central meeting spot. Mistral has a hip and urban vibe, and their wonderful coffee is sourced from small independent coffee farmers. They offer a small menu of juices, toasts and pastries to go along with your coffee. In addition, they sell coffee in bean or grain for home brewing and their coffee isn't only limited to their store, it can be found in various cafes around Palma.

Mama Carmen

This is a hot spot early in the mornings, when you can often expect long lines of people waiting for a fresh cup of Mama Carmens. In the heart of Santa Catalina on Carrer de Cervantes, this cute little coffee shop serves delicious vegetarian and vegan food as well as some of the best coffee on the island. It is a family-owned cafe that brims with positivity and a welcoming feel, as it looks like a traditional Spanish kitchen. The interior is beautiful with a vintage vibe that perfectly compliments their classic coffees. We highly recommend ordering one of their special house drinks while you’re there. 

Araby

When it comes to coffee, Araby knows what they are doing. They may have only opened their first cafe in 2016, but these experts have been roasting coffee since 1952. In their 3-story space on Plaza Major, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors, as well as a spacious upstairs area, perfect for getting some work done with a delicious cup of coffee. They also offer baked goods, healthy food, juices and sandwiches throughout the day. On top of this Araby offers workshops, coffee tastings, and barista courses – sharing their best-kept coffee secrets with the rest of us!
