If you want to know where to find great coffee, just follow the cyclists. Indeed, there is a magical connection between specialty coffee shops and road cyclists. And those who love to hang out with cycling aficionados. Sharing the passion, favorite routes and latest news about the condition of the road and popular pit stops. For some years now, a number of cycling cafés in Palma have been among the preferred places for a coffee break. With the beginning of the season professional teams and ambitious amateurs both do their laps on Mallorca, again.
Plumo
In the cozy neighborhood café on beautiful Plaça Quadrado you can rent or buy vintage bikes, in particular. Or have your own bike tuned up. Plumo also offers social rides and runs. And the two founders, Theo and Nilton, have an interesting theory about the connection of cycling and coffee: Making good coffee and fixing a cool bike both needs a lot of attention, knowledge and fine-tuning.
Rapha
Actually, the merger of cycling and coffee in Palma started with Rapha Mallorca. With a collection of cycling apparel, specialty coffee and a terrace on Plaça del Rosari. A small place near El Borne and the Cathedral that has become the meeting point for cyclists in town. And a starting point for guided tours on the island.
Café du Cycliste
Probably the most stylish Mediterranean bike apparel is designed by Café du Cycliste. Both for road and for gravel cyclists. And as the brand suggests there is also a professional coffee machine in their bright store on Plaça del Rosari. Where you can enjoy a cup of specialty coffee after a group ride or while looking for an addition to your equipment.
Tan Line
Another exciting line of cycling apparel is Tan Line. The Spanish brand opened their Mallorcan flagship store next to the other outfitters with cycling cafés in Palma. While the coffee machine still plays a minor role, the names of the legendary cycle routes on the shop window attract as much attention as the fancy clothing.
Reverb
A few months ago, the latest addition to Palma’s vibrant cycling scene opened its doors near Plaça de Raimundo Clar. Reverb is a fancy bike store with a large open workshop and a spacious café. Grab a seat at the long social table, on the Chipperfield sofa or at one of the smaller tables. There’s specialty coffee, of course, a small menu with daily snacks, and social rides.
La Finca Corner
Strictly speaking, La Finca Corner is an outsider on the list of cycling cafés in Palma. If it weren’t for Sebastian, the owner, barista and cycling enthusiast. Who made the small coffee shop at La Rambla popular with avid road cyclists in no time. No apparel or gear here, but lots of love, passion and insights.
Doble Coffee
Another specialty coffee shop popular with cyclists and regular pit stop just a few kilometers from Palma is Doble Coffee. Located in picturesque Esporles at the foot of the Tramuntana. The smell of coffee and the cool design add an urban touch to the laid-back mountain village. Where Alba and Alex welcome you with a warm smile and a hot caffeine fix.
