Lluís Pérez isn’t your average pastry chef – he’s a quiet perfectionist with a whisk and a touch of boldness. His shop on Carrer Bonaire feels serene, but every detail hums with intention. Croissants so delicate they crumble at a glance, chocolates that melt like confessions, and cakes crafted with patience, not pretence. It’s elegance without arrogance – proof that mastery doesn’t need noise. Every bite is thoughtful, balanced, and just a little sinful. Call it art, call it obsession – either way, Lluís Pérez turns sweetness into something quietly powerful.

Mistral Coffee House If you find yourself wandering around Plaça de Weyler, step into Mistral Coffee House and stay for the flavour. Their beans are on a globe-trotting mission, roasted right here and poured with precision. From fruit-forward filters to dark, deliberate espresso shots, this is a place that treats your cup like a canvas. The food follows suit: sourdough toasts, cinnamon rolls, vegan options. It’s where I buy my coffee for home too, because once you’ve tasted their roast, supermarket beans just won’t cut it.

La Molienda Bisbe is where Palma’s caffeine crowd goes to feel good without pretending. The smell of freshly roasted beans hits first, followed by that calm hum of people easing into their day. The coffee’s excellent, the food’s honest, and the atmosphere walks the line between casual brunch and quiet ritual. There’s no performance here – just quality served with a smile that doesn’t try too hard. It’s the kind of place that earns loyalty, not hype. A flat white at La Molienda feels like permission to pause – proof that simplicity, when done right, is enough.

Rapha Clubhouse. Half café, half cycling temple, it is where flat whites and carbon frames share equal importance. The coffee’s solid, the kit’s expensive, and the conversations usually orbit gradients and gear ratios. It’s polished and not shy about it – a hangout for those who ride social or hard, spend harder, and need caffeine to justify it all. The place hums with energy, equal parts ambition and endorphins. Whether you actually ride or just like the vibe, you’ll fit right in – spandex optional, attitude required.

SĀNTAL is set inside an old windmill, which already gives it more soul than most cafés could dream of. It’s where Palma’s good-looking crowd comes to caffeinate, brunch, and people-watch under spinning blades of history. Big terrace, bright plates, and coffee that actually delivers – all served with a side of sunshine and style. The vibe walks the line between relaxed and curated, and somehow it all works. It’s a scene – equal parts breeze, buzz, and beautiful breakfasts.

Plumo is where caffeine meets chain lube – part café, part bike shop, all heart. You can grab an espresso while someone fixes your gears, or just pretend you’re training for the Tour. The coffee’s strong, the toast’s on point, and the people are refreshingly down-to-earth. It’s clean, bright, and effortlessly cool. Cyclists roll in, locals hang out. There’s no rush, no drama – just good brews, better banter, and the faint smell of adventure. Plumo proves you don’t need polish to have purpose – just wheels, beans, and a good mood.

Mama Carmen’s is a feel-good corner where everything tastes like a small victory. The coffee’s legit, the pancakes unapologetically fluffy, and even the vegan options manage to win over skeptics. It’s bright, busy in the best way, and full of people who look like they actually eat breakfast. You can come for the cappuccino, stay for the granola, and leave wondering if you should start meditating. It’s not pretentious – just wholesome with good taste and better energy. Mama Carmen’s proves that healthy doesn’t have to mean boring, and brunch can still have personality.

Federal is where Australia’s brunch spirit meets Palma’s golden light. It’s clean, open, and full of laptop warriors pretending to write novels between bites of poached eggs. The coffee hits and the vibe says stay as long as you damn well please. It’s easy, a little vain and everything arrives looking ready for Instagram – but somehow, it still feels easygoing. The playlist hums, the service smiles, and time just slides by. It’s less about being seen and more about settling in – proof that even a chain café can have charm when it keeps things simple and gets them right.

Café Riutort is the quiet rebel of Palma’s brunch world – no overstyled lattes, no need to pretend. It’s all rough walls, natural light, and that unbothered charm that trendy spots keep trying to imitate. The sourdough’s perfect, the coffee’s sharp, and the people behind the counter actually look like they enjoy being there. You won’t find too many influencers staging their pancakes here – just locals, freelancers, and the occasional traveller who’s found the real deal. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t care about buzzwords or branding – effortlessly cool because it couldn’t care less.
