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 nine, 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. 

ACCO

Blink and you might walk past this tiny storefront café located just off the Plaza Santa Eulalia. Founded by Nahuel Accorinti, ACCO isa modern, well-designed space that makes grabbing a delicious coffee to-go easy and worth your while. Accorinti got his experience running a nearby coffee shop for several years before deciding to take over the small space on c/ Argenteria in late 2024. With a playful motto of: ‘More espresso less depresso’, ACCO serves roasted coffee from Barcelona and makes his own pastries. There is a small bar area if you prefer to enjoy your coffee on site.

Ruitort

Cafe Ruitort is a charming spot that offers a very calm and relaxing atmosphere just off Las Ramblas. They serve specialty coffee that is roasted on-site. The cafe blends an industrial design with a warm and inviting atmosphere, creating a very casual and relaxed space, ideal as a workspace or a quick spot for your morning fix. Ruitort also has a great lunch and brunch menu with loads of vegetarian and vegan options, as well as daily specials, so there's something for everyone. Go early as it does get crowded. 

La Molienda

Passionate about coffee, La Molienda has been serving delicious coffee since 2013. They roast the beans in-house to create a strong yet flavourful brew. La Molienda has two cafes in Palma, one a bright and modern space and the other more cosy and intimate, and an on-site roaster, where coffee can be ordered wholesale. La Molienda also likes changing their brews, so there's always something new to try out. Getting a table can be challenging so try to get there early if you'd like to sit down with a friend. 

Hotto

Hotto Coffee Lab is a Japanese-inspired coffee shop on PlazaRaimundo Clar. The light-filled, plywood and tile designed boutique café ispart of the Australian brunch and café-inspired Surry Hill Café. In addition tothe delicious coffee, Hotto serves ‘sandos’, small tea-like sandwiches and aselection of pastries. The large street facing windows make for excellentpeople watching will you sip your beverage and soak in the atmosphere.
